CARD OF THANKS
I would like to thank all my friends, neighbors and relatives for all
the cards, flowers, gifts, visits, phone calls and especially your
prayers while I was a patient at Albemarle Hospital and since my
return home. Thank you for your kindness. I also want to extend
thanks to Or. Spruill & the nurses (5th floor) for their kindness and
concern during my stay there.
Thanks to everyone and God bless.
Mrs. Evelyn i. Modlin
Dear friends,
Sometimes the bereaved do not talk at all.
Their grief produces a kind of numbness and
silence. It is difficult to comfort or help this
kind of person. They do not respond to your
presence or the things you say. There is no
easy way to penetrate this silence and you
do not need to intrude in their grief. The
friend who expresses sympathy and love can
do no more.
Respectfully,
Diamond Center of Elizabeth City
Sunday school lesson j
the PROMISE FULFILLED
The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, and not a mere in
fluence. Thinking of Him as a divine Person, which He is,
our thought will be, "How can the Holy Spirit get hold of me
and use me?"
The Coming of the Holy Spirit ? Acts 2:1-4
On the fiftieth day after the Feast of the Passover, the 120
disciples were together in one place ? the upper room in
Jerusalem, and with one spiritual purpose. When God's ap
pointed time for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit arrived,
in fulfillment of His promise, the Holy Spirit descended
upon those assembled believers, took possession or control
of them to such an extend that they throbbed with His sym
phathies, spoke His thoughts, and conformed to His will.
Among the various evidences of the Holy Spirit's
presence was an audible one ? "suddenly there came a
sound from heaven as of a rushing, mighty wind, and it
filled all the house where they were sitting." This sound
from heaven resembled a violent wind being borne along,
somewhat like a tornado. There was also a visible sign ?
there appeared unto the disciples divided tongues which
resembled fire, and one sat upon the head of each present.
This was the visible evidence that each of them had
received the Holy Spirit, and that He possessed and con
trolled them.
Another supernatural manifestation on that day was the
speaking in foreign languages, other than the ones which
they had learned and used previously. Immediately after
the Spirit filled the believers and they "began to speak with
other tongues," those present understood what they said.
This miraculous gift indicated the fact that our Lord
wanted His gospel to be preached in every language in the
world. The preaching of the gospel is always much more ef
fective when people near it in their own language.
The Response of the People ? Acts 2:36-42
The Holy Spirit used Peter's memorable, scriptural,
logical, pointed, personal, and persuasive sermon to
pierce, as with an arrow, the evil hearts of his hearers and
made them deeply conscious of their terrible guilt. Con
vinced of the truth of his message, convicted of their guilt,
and filled with fear of the wrath of God, the Jews cried out:
"Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Peter commanded
them to repent and to be baptized in the name of Christ. To
these Jews repentance meant to change their minds about
Christ, to admit their guilt in rejecting Him, and to receive
Him as their Saviour. Having been cleansed from their sins
because of their repentance toward God and faith in Christ'
they were to express that cleansing symbolically by being
baptized. After Christ had saved them, they gladly submit
ted to baptism as an evidence of their faith in Him and as
an act of loving obedience to Him .
In the act of scriptural baptism the believer announces tc
all witnesses thereof that he has truly repented of his sins,
that he has died to sin, that his previous life of sin has been
buried, and that henceforth, in the ample strength which is
to be imparted to him by the Holy Spirit, he fully intends
and expects to live a life of Christian fruitfulness to the
glory of God.
Approximately 3,000 repented of their sins and believed
on Christ as their Saviour. As soon as Christ had saved
them, they gladly submitted to baptism as an evidence of
their faith in Christ and of their loving obedience to Him.
As new church members, they remained steadfast in the
things of the Lord, gladly accepted instructions from the
