    Mephibosheth was no great ornament to a royal table, yet he had a continual place at David’s board, because the king could see in his face the features of the beloved Jonathan.

  • THINK AS JESUS TAUGHT

    My Utmost For His Highest Pray without ceasing. 1 Thess. 5:17. We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer.
