Now the Lord our souls has fed

Wonderful hymns

Oh Lord! Save us! Operate in us, that we would pray Is. 6:8 "Here I am, send me" and be "sent."

Thank you Brother Steve for the hymn stories, history and biography’s. This week we are in week three of HWMR from the winter training 23. We are growing wheat so there can be a harvest of barley. The limited Jesus as the one grain of wheat, became the five barley loaves in abundance with 12 baskets left over. John 6:13. The unlimited Christ.

I remember singing this song on a Sunday afternoon in our home in Ardmore, Oklahoma, with the Walkers, Mrs. Bow, Sister Lucy, Bro. And Sis Dalrymple. They may not all have been with us at one time some I remember enjoying with in our home.

This is a great reminder to share the gospel the way the apostle shared it, by relating his experience before and after Christ (Acts 26). Our testimony of His life-changing person and power makes a difference!

Annie Wright (or Westland) Marston wrote a biography of her sister Mrs. Cecil Polhill, entitlled, "With the King". The Polhills were missionaries to China and later Tibet with the China Inland Mission started by Hudson Taylor. Annie also wrote, "The Great Closed Land: A Plea for Tibet", "The children of China: written for the children of England", "The children of India, written for the children of England by one of their friends" and "The children of Africa for all English-Speaking children". All her hymns were written for Keswick Conventions.

In 1908 Cecil Polhill visited Azusa Street, Los Angeles, where he had a Pentecostal experience. Before returning to England Polhill wrote a cheque for £1500 to pay off the mortgage on the Azusa Street building. After returning to England Polhill attended Alexander Boddy's first Sunderland Convention, and helped Boddy fund his Pentecostal periodical, "Confidence". Polhill became the first President of the Pentecostal Missionary Union, and administered it along China Inland Mission lines. In 1925 the Executive Council of the PMU voted to merge with the British Assemblies of God, and so Polhill, an Anglican, resigned aged 65. He maintained friendly relationships with the PMU, and missionaries in the field. - Wikipedia
