be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”
Then the Restorer practiced His medical missionary work. “The

His will. If man will not take this position, he will make shipwreck
of faith. God will never insure a man for everlasting life whose
anchor is not securely fastened to heaven’s unalterable law. He must
