Kv. Pollard preached URaiti
wil.li clearness and force, both
inuniiiiK Hi"! evening. The sub
ject at 11:00 a. in. was. "How to
Do the Impossible"; text, Isaiah
XI,: 111. MusfH, tin. exile, wan
commanded to ko to l'liaranh ami
(leiiiainl the release of the Child
ren of Israel from bondage.
Humanly speaking, il was an im
possible undertaking; hut Moses,
plus God, could do any tiling.
David, the shepherd hoy, was
chosen of (Iod to he kinj? of Isra
el. Saul, the mighty, was kiritf
and it was impossihle for David
to dethrone him, hut lie recog
nized the leadership of (Iod and
the work was done. Itefore the
disciples of .Jesus could do the
impossihle they must he "endued
with power."
We must have a knowledge of
the unknowahle Itefore we can
see the invisible. Klisha prayed
that the eyes of the young man
(his servant) might he opened
and when opened hy Divine
agency, he saw the "mountain
full of horses and chariots of lire
around ahoul Klisha."
We must have a vision of (Iod;
then hy faith we take hold of Al
mighty power. The sculptor must
first have a vision of the work of
art to he produced hefore he can
clrsel il out of the unhewn stone.
Daniel, when a captive, saw the
invisihle and pictured the return
of Israel to Canaan. Paul saw
the invisihle hefore he was aide
to do his mighty work.
We must hear the inaudible
before we can do the impossible.
The Lord was not in the wind
storm, nor in the earthquake,
nor in the fire, but in the still,
small, inaudible voice. I King
XIX: 11. 12.

Path To Prosperity
Merchants who use tungsten electric signs never lose
their way by choosing the wrong road to success. You
simply cannot fail to attract new customers if you use
an electric sign. . It acts like an irresistable magnet,
drawing all the trade within its reach. Tungsten lamps
give over twice the volume of light of any other incan
descent lamp. That is the reason why they command
the attention of buyers.
FOR EVERY STORE OWNER
no matter how small his business, the tungsten elec
tric sign is the cheapest and most effective advertising.
Telephone DALLAS 24 and ask us to design a trade
pulling sign for you one which will be distinctive and
operate economically. We make no charge for our ad
vice and assistance.
