DEVOTIONAL MEETING

W. A. Spicer, C. P. Bollman, I. H. Evans, C. M. Snow, T. E. Bowen

May 31, 6 A. M.

The leader, Elder K. C. Russell, called for the recital of promises of God, and many responded by quoting portions of Scripture that are of special help in daily Christian life. GCB June 1, 1909, page 235.1

The morning lesson was based on Jude 21-24. The keeping power of God is seen in the lives of those who comply with conditions outlined in Ephesians 3:20; Romans 16:25; Psalm 91:11, and similar passages. God is able to keep us from falling, only as we live a life of prayer, of consecration, of service, of constant determination to live in accordance with his revealed will. Such a life is filled with joy and peace, and makes strong our confidence in him that is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy. GCB June 1, 1909, page 235.2

Several signified their desire to receive special spiritual help during the remaining days of the Conference. Many testined of their personal knowledge of God’s power to keep from falling those who put their trust in him and at the same time do all in their power to save souls. Paul, in the midst of a life of marvelous activity and unflagging zeal, testified: “We are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Jesus Christ throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” GCB June 1, 1909, page 235.3

“In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.” GCB June 1, 1909, page 235.4
