When the poor Southern Saints were divinely these wonderful performances of the head of the Church! How blind do “the wicked” always become! And so, Bro. David, it has always been with THE SUFFERING KINGDOM. New Mexicois about to be admitted into the sisterhood of States while the Kingdom of God begs vainly for the same privilege.
