DEVOTIONAL MEETING

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

May 17, 6 A. M.

The 6 A. M. devotional service was led by Elder W. H. Meredith, of South England, by reading a Scripture lesson from 2 Peter 1. The “exceeding great and precious promises of God,” whereby “we are made partakers of the divine nature,” were unfolded and considered. Every divine promise given in the Word of God has received its fulfillment in some human heart, in confirmation of which many a heart could bear a glorious testimony and against which many a hand could write “promises proved.” GCB May 18, 1909, page 43.1

Earnest prayer was then offered by Elder E. W. Farnsworth and H. E. Armstrong of the Welsh Conference, after which the meeting was opened to the whole congregation for praise and testimony. Short, telling testimonies were offered by those who had taken God at his word and proved him faithful. This order of the service was continued until the close of the hour, when the meeting closed by singing “Precious Promise God Hath Given.” Elder Bourdeau offered the benediction.
