foundations, he is being used of the Lord whereby the saints are being fed strong meat,

and digestive organs being worked as never before.

The Evening Meeting had a most fitting subject to close the first half of the Sunday

messages,  Eph. 1:17.

`Redemption--The Kinsman-Redeemer and the nature of

forgiveness.'  The person and work of Christ was wonderfully exhibited from the

scriptures. The Deity of Christ needs not to be questioned or taken up from any other

angle if this marvelous kinship is seen, as the Scriptures state it.

As several had requested a lecture on some of the more common figures of speech

used in the scriptures, Mr. Welch took the opportunity to do so on Tuesday the 12th. He

very lucidly explained to us about ten of these figures.

Mr. Totton in closing said:

Mr. Welch, it has been to me a continual feast of fat things. For now about four

months we have been having this feast, and it is possible and even probable that some of

us now looking at our brother in the flesh may not meet again, and Mr. Welch, it has been

one of the treats of my life, and I can assure you I am saying this not only for myself but

for all present.

We not only appreciate your willingness to come this distance to minister the Word,

but also would express our appreciation of the part that Mrs. Welch has taken in this

severing of domestic relations for such a length of time in order that you might come to

minister to us, and we express to her and the children our feeling of indebtedness for her

share in this ministry.

God bless you, and remember please, that:

`There is a place where spirits blend,

And friend holds fellowship with friend;

Though sundered far by faith we meet

Around one common mercy seat.'

Mr. Fenton concluded the meeting by saying: `I just want to say a very brief word. I

have immensely enjoyed all the meetings we have had. To-night we have had a sample

of what we have had practically all through.

For a man who treats the scriptures as wonderful and believes every word of it, and

who is tolerant with those who may not agree with him on some things, and who is apt to

teach, believing in it all, I have never met Mr. Welch's equal. There are those that are

just as fundamental and just as true to the Word so far as they see it, but Mr. Welch has

opened up the book to me, and to all of us who have attended the meetings, in a way that

has given us a broader and deeper insight into its teaching, so that we cannot dispense

with any verse or any word.'
