“Not Always the Same Method”
The Spirit is like the wind. There is mystery, there is power, and we cannot chart the course of the Spirit. He is sovereign to do as He pleases, just as the wind blows where it lists.

ALWAYS LOOK SKYWARD
"A man in the prairie observed an eagle fatally wounded by a gunshot.
He writes: "With his eyes gleaming...he slowly turned his head, giving one last...longing look towards the sky.
