History

We do well to honor the great and good men and women of the past as members with us of the great Church Universal. Let us rejoice in their victories and conquests. Needless to say, God's saints are not of one age or of one sphere of labor... Every sincere follower of the Master must recognize that He has other sheep and that all must be brought to know the great compassionate heart of the Father.
