"When afflicted it is a source o
consolation to know that God is ;
verjn present help. There ought Jto
be a great turning to God at this
time in prayer. His children who are
afflicted ought to pray. Those who
are . in good health should pray "f o
one another. ' '
The unsaved who are subjected to
sickness and" death need to cry to God
for pardon and peace.
During the time of Uzziah's death
when the land was mourning for het
King Isa went into ie temple and had
a revelation of God. While our towns
and cities are again being smitten
with the Jnfluenza, we ought to api-
proach God and catch new revelations
of his character and trusts. ' '
