And he would not for a while: but afterward he said Luke within himself, Though I fear not God nor regard man: Yet 18:4, 5 because this widow troubleth me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 21 18:6 Luke Hear what the unjust judge saith. 22 Luke And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day 23 18:7 and night unto him, though he bear long with them? Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the 24 earth? say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

IMPORTUNITY THAT WINS 26 Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him Luke 11:5 27 For a friend of mine in his journey has come to me, and I Luke 11:6 28 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not, Luke 11:7 29 I say unto you, though he will not rise and give him, because Luke 11:8 30 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, Luke and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 11:9 DEC. 1 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh Luke 11:10 2 With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God Mark all things are possible. 10:27 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said I would keep thy words. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. -Ps. 119:57, 67. Matt. 19:11, 12 This do in remembrance of me. A THE REGENERATION All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. Luke They which be accounted worthy to obtain that world and Matt.

Mark One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou 10:21 hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven and come, take up the cross, and follow me. John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in Matt. me and I in him. For this is my blood of the new testa26:28 ment, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Luke A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air 8:5, 12 devoured it. Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. Luke 8:6, 13 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. DEC. -PS. 119. 10. --John 8:31. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my ..disciples indeed. DEC. YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER 10 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do 11 they reap, nor gather into barns: yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
