Praying is Working
by George Henry Lang
Baxter Directions for a Peaceful Death is an article of 15 points on a Christian approaching his death and what he should be thinking about. This theme is good for the sick, but everybody should also meditate on these things. (Baxter is reformed).

JAMES 5:13-20.
Is any among you suffering? let him pray (1). Is any cheerful? let him sing praise. Is any among you sick? let. him call’ for the elders of the church; and let them pray (2) over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith (3) shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray for one another (4), that ye may be healed: The supplication (5) of a righteous man availeth much in its working. Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently (6) that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.. And he prayed again (7) ; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her, fruit. My brethren, if any among you do err from the truth, -and one convert ‘him let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

Buy me a piece of Mexican SweetBread!
Everybody likes sweet bread. In Mexico, it is a tradition to eat this sweetbread with coffee or hot chocolate before going to bed. But alas, while you are also enjoying the delicious stuff from my websites, I am out of money. A gift of any amount will at least let us buy a piece of sweetbread.
Please donate something for the upkeep of this website. I am bearing the burden of the monthly upkeep for years now, and I only have a few donations PER YEAR out of all of my websites, and that only like $25 dollars each time.
