Speaking at the evening service , Mr. Forde emphasized the sin of in l gratitude and, his address was based on the New Testament incident where Christ healed -ten lepers; only one of them, after obeying.His in- junction tovgp and show themselves to the priest, returned to thank his healer. The nine who accepted the `gift of healing without courtesy `of `thanks are representative` of` the hue man race; declared Mr. Forde Life ,is a series of miracles, no less won- derful than the healing` of the lepers, ,yet many fail to declare their grat- litude to the Giver of Life.
