vital way because the Spirit is here and Christ, the Head, is in

Now I would urge you to touch the hem of His garment. Do not

let us isolate ourselves from the saints and do not let us stay

away from the meetings. I expect we all have had the

experience of a trying day and harassing problems, and you

may come to the meeting and hope somebody is feeling in

better shape spiritually than you are. Then someone gives out

a hymn, someone prays in freshness, and you feel revived,

quickened. Why? You have touched the hem of His garment,

His garment. May the Lord bless these impressions to us and

may there be an answer to them for His glory.
