Pray to God, and he will hear thee as he did Elijah. Oh, but Elijah was an excellent man. The scripture prevents the objection Jam. 5. he 1was a man subject to infirmities, if God heard him, he will hear thee. Believe 2in Christ (as Abraham did, the Father of the faithful) in the promised Messiah, and he will forgive thee all thy sins. Oh, but he had a strong faith. What hath the scripture to take away this objection? In Rom. 5. 3This was not written for Abraham only, but for those that believe with the 4faith of Abraham.
