One of the abiding memories for me from the tent meetings was David Heisler’s comment that the sin of the believer is to try to do good! We are free of that aren’t we – free of “trying” to do anything and freed to simply be Christ. Dead to self-consciousness and alive only to Christ and Christ-consciousness. That is the freedom that we are to declare.

I always enjoy my time in Philly it’s a great city. Although the training facility that I work in here is in the Lafayette Hill area near Plymouth Meetings I like to get into Old City whenever time allows. If you ever have the privilege of visiting Philadelphia make a point of going to Independence Hall in Old City. The values of America are coming under increasing scrutiny these days but I will always remember the sense of reverence that I felt when I stood before the Liberty Bell which is on display in the exhibition centre. Maybe you didn’t know that the

“PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND UNTO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF”

LEV. XXV X.

That cry still goes out today and nowhere is that clarion more needed to be rung out than in the church of Jesus Christ. “Ring Loud the hallowed bell!... Ring it till every slave be free.” H H Moore 1844. Now that my friends Philadelphia freedom.
