The Assembly Herald Volume 1, No. 6 (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 Excerpt: ...feet were dripping with blood, whose face was drawn in agony. He sat down by the suffering ones, and, laying down his head, outstretched his hands and feet as though to say: "See, I have suffered more than them. I alone am the solution of sorrow.

He must paint the real Christ amid the surroundings of his Palestine home; and out of that vision and its study came all that wondrous pathos and beauty and power of Tissot's pictured Life of Christ. It is the parable for the Church. Second: The Disclosure. The vision will not come through the mere knowledge of the truth. Knowledge can not raise the dead. The ministerial touch has no disclosing power. The person of the Holy Spirit must be recognized in his presence and power if the vision is to come with its illumination and control.

He is not straightened nor given in measure. Honor him and he will honor you. To our cry: "Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O arm of the Lord," comes like the thunder and the flash, " Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O...
