.Our instructor, Brother King,. certainly grappled the •:star dust" in "the heavenlies" but did it with such simplicity and unction of the Holy Spirit that we all were lift­ed up in the visionary realms of. glory that made us shout for joj

i

: in almost every service. I found myself regretting to see the Bible Study close and to a greater or lesser degree make our precipita­tion from those heights of glory. My heart yearns for more such revelations of. God's grace thru Jesus. Surely this was a visit;i.­tion in the garden of God. with Jesus our Redeemer, with all the ·saints of all the ages, the angelichostes, seraphim and cherubin,­all playing their role in jubilantand - · harmonious singing thesongs of triumph thru the· Bloodof the Lamb. ·

"All hail the · p;w'r of J �sus, camel

Let angels prostrate fail; Bring forth the royal diadem

And crown Him Lord of all." Le� us all pray more for our

beloved General Superintendent Rev. J. H. King, that he may not only be giving out orally these. wonderful truths but that he mav be- blessed with both . time and fii:iancial needs to pen down the many Biblical books he has in his heart to write.
