Chapter 82:
Material Recompense
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. THOSE things which happen to you in circumstance are motivated by me at my behest and at my bidding; mark this well.
2. Agencies surround you that make call on you for substitution of dollars for myself; they say unto you, Give substance to us and for you we care not.
3. Lo, moneys shall be given them and the endurance endeth, yet shall ye know my voice directing you, in that ye give to them their just deserts only and no more.
4. Friends come unto you imploring you to aid them: pay no money to those who ask of you, without asking your intuitions, Is it right that I give because I am requested?
5. Make no gifts as gifts without the knowledge that the gifts will aid the given by aiding them to aid themselves; make no payments to any who is creditor unless ye have received one hundred cents of value for each dollar that is demanded; if you do it otherwise, my brethren, ye do harm the one who demandeth the payment;
6. Therefore pay him who asketh of you if his due be just; pay no man because he saith, Thou art eager to aid, or, Thou hast a great treasure, therefore I demand of thee on principle.
7. I bid that ye do use my moneys given for the Lord's work, to aid those helping themselves, naught otherwise.
8. Beggars are an abomination unto me, in that they steal from themselves; they take values that never belonged to them; they seek alms through self-pity.
9. Give to those who aid you in the Father's business as it pleaseth you, but in payment for services rendered, not in pleasing sentiment.
10. I have said that the ox is worthy of his hire and the honest servant deserveth his wage; is not the Father the Employer of Employers? doth not he who hath labored deserve his substance for his body's nourishment?
11. These things are for your instruction, beloved, and yet I say more: Give to him who asketh of you as a favor only when he hath shown himself to be your friend by first performing for you without expecting payment, else is it alms and he who receiveth showeth scorn for your weakness.
12. I tell you this: Demand of him who serveth you that he serveth you well, else pay him naught but that which his service meriteth: behold the law of labor is just: a penny shall be paid for a penny's work performed but whenever was it said that the penny be paid without the work performed?
13. Man rendereth unto man that which is his due: behold the world riseth in a great tumult because half have said, We have labored and not been paid the penny, and the other half have said, We demand the penny but we labor as is it pleaseth us.
14. I tell you, beloved, both are abomination in my sight.
15. The ground crieth out with the blood of those who have said, We have labored and not been compensated; the skies shower blessings on those who have acclaimed, We recognize the payment of those who have labored.
16. And yet payments are not always of moneys, beloved.
17. Hath a sister been given unto you in trust? I say pay her well in love and confidence: pay her not in moneys for verily she hath an interest in that which is provided.
18. Not so the other sister: pay that which she deserveth of you as a loving friend, to ease her tribulation, and there the matter endeth; I say she hath a humor to be provided for, that is not her due; neither is penury her due but she exerteth not her skill in administration, therefore suffering bringeth its discipline.
19. Doth a sister appear unto you disrobed and say, Give unto me, or, Do as my caprice dictateth else it shall be ill with you?
20. Treat her in this wise: Say unto her, Go to, thou wicked and unholy woman, thy body hath repulsion: we have no alms for thee, but only the whips of the jailer for verily thou art an unhallowed creature and thy errors and shortcomings shall bring you to discipline over many lives.
21. The ways of the evil creature are beyond repute; the schemes of the evil man are beneath rejoicing: neither have a being in that which is the labor; pursue the labor with a courage unmindful of a calumny;
22. Fear no evil that saith unto you, Pay me or ye suffer.
23. Life hath wrought many miracles unto you in substance and in circumstance: it hath made you many times of wealth, verily in the lives that ye have lived, but wealth hath been taken from you each time by experience that ye might know the joy that cometh with plans that know maturity.
24. Now cometh wealth to you to remain with you, verily that wealth that is the Father's increase in that ye have labored in His vineyard and brought back the joy of nations.
25. When my sheep are lost in the world's wilderness, I go forth and find them, having pity on them: I bring them back into the fold if possible;
26. But I do more: I mend the fold, that it offer small chance of escape to the foolish ones who would explore alone to their peril; so be it with you, my dearly beloved.
27. Men are coming to you now who would have you save them by your auguries; verily it is blessed so to save them, but save them not at the cost of losing many sheep who are faithful to your orders and commandments.
28. He who rejecteth you is not important; he who accepteth you meriteth your counsel unto the end.
29. I say unto you, The world is a sheepfold, the enemy are the wolves, the darkness cometh, the wolves make sallyings to find the sheepfold's weakness; suffer them not to rend the faithful, but give no heed to him who runneth willingly toward the wolves, mocking your efforts to save him from their slaughter;
30. The time is too short: great deeds impend and demand our attention; better that a thousand be saved though one be lost; better that one be lost than that a thousand be humbled.
31. Verily it rendeth us that any be lost, but he who consorteth willingly with wolves, knowing they have fangs, cannot command the shepherd's protection. . . .
