Chapter 211:
Cometh a Day of Faith
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. KNOW YE, beloved, that men have many kinds of faith. They
prance before the obvious. They make smoke screens of their
lecheries from burnings of their baser selves.
2. I speak unto you of faith as a garment that covereth your
nakedness of manifest errors, that raiseth your perceptions to
credit the arrival of true righteousness.
3. I tell you there cometh a Day of Faith unto all peoples
when it shall be necessary for a man to say: I have no god but
mine own courage, I have no goddess but mine own will to
perform unto my neighbors as I would have each perform
unto me.
4. It is a goodly day that arriveth; it is a welcome evening that
mateth with an excellent night; it is a time of rejoicing that
presently cometh in with much acclaiming.
5. It is a moment of great gladness when the righteous
ones declare: These things have we known of old; that man
was to make his conscience his shibboleth and strike not the
heels of those who limp painfully.
6. There cometh a night when men shall say: No day
was ever like this day, in that men have fought the good fight
for bliss of conscience and seen themselves not reproved for
auguring in the service of those who ring the anthem, Joy to the
world, the Lord hath shown Himself!
7. I did say of old, Arise and go hence, thy faith hath made
thee whole.
8. What meant I by such speech?
9. Beloved, harken! there come men unto you who say, It is
a goodly prospect that ye open to our eyesight and yet we say it
hath lechery in it; it maketh us no promise that in these matters
apparent to us there is no room for self-esteem;
10. Man hath had shown him on your canvas no opportunities
for giving of himself that he may know acclaim, even for
righteousness directed at his brethren;
11. He hath no opportunity to flatter himself that he hath been
good, for are not all men now good? how then doth the
righteous man announce that he is righteous?
12. I say unto you, beloved, have no trust in such; serve them
with no water, turn unto them no countenance.
13. We have wits to believe that the evil day falleth and the
righteous day arriveth. But in that day cometh no opportunity
for man to be ennobled by self-praisings.
14. Man ennobleth himself in his own heart's quietness,
saying, It is right for me to do this thing, and in that I do it,
I profit privately.
15. Faith is a shibboleth in that Great Day, beloved, in that it
saith unto a man, Rise up! Endure! Give of thyself! Be thou
ennobled! Have a glad song and sing it! Open a full barn and
rescue the perishing with substance garnered from the Father.
16. And now I tell you more.
17. Faith saith unto a man, It is fitting and proper that ye do
sow and harvest both of the substance and of the spirit;
18. It is fitting and proper, however, that ye do know no harvest
until all who are righteous are ensconced in high places;
19. It is fitting and proper that righteousness reign in that it is
righteousness, not because old systems or old manners fall
before the conqueror, Penury.
20. Hear me, beloved: Ye do call on me for Faith. I tell you it is
yourselves making manifest that which ye are unto eternal time,
being not cast down by rumors that ye are not, permitting no
mistakes of conscience that cannot be corrected, uttering no
writings that have not Love Resplendent at their cores, making
no preachments that do not show the glory unto which the race
ascendeth.
21. This is Faith, beloved: being that outwardly with
consistence which ye have been mentally unto yourselves in
privacies, being always steadfast unto your higher counselors,
turning no man's hand against you, waiting in vain for lecheries
to manifest that good may accrue, opening no doors on
vengeance, permitting no briberies on Truth but obstructing no
man's character, that he should be the thing which he desireth
within himself.
22. Faith, my beloved, is keeping tryst with yourselves in the
Father's house for that which ye were sent for, taking no
offensives that things unrighteous have grievances against you
which ye do adjust by virulent practices, giving no man cause to
hate you but each man cause to love you, rising up against
error and slaying it but making no beseechments for
fixations in character that bedaub and bedevil those who
utter blasphemies.
23. Truly, beloved, it taketh patience to have faith, for it
covereth the heart as a garment doth the loins; it steppeth out
valiantly yet maketh no advancings unto folly, saying, See my
great strength! am I not noble? am I not favored?
24. True faith abideth with you always, being that part of your
character which hath within itself the essence of your heavenly
attainments;
25. It cometh unto you as a thankfulness that ye do manifest
even as ye didst enter life to manifest.
26. Faith maketh the soul to sing in that the heart repeateth the
lines: I am called of the world, I am called of the Father, I am
called of those who need me; I am sent of those who bless me,
I take pride in my destiny, I fulfill it with excellence.
27. That, my beloved, is Faith that is transcendent. That, my
beloved, is the Faith that endureth. That, my beloved, is the
voice of strong harmony touching the soul with versings
after loveliness.
28. Behold I speak a true message unto you, having traveled
far to be at your side;
29. I speak unto you a role that is strong, in that it proceedeth
out of a tumult.
30. I say, Have a sweet song and sing it, have a noble love
and keep it, have a blessed inspiration and hold it aloof from
greed in your destinies.
31. The things of Spirit are the things that are heavenly; the
things that are heavenly are those things highly merited;
32. The bliss of that attainment which is spiritual is not in
saying, I am pure! It lieth in the humble thought, I give of myself
to my brethren about me, that in the giving of myself I find
my passage marked into the hearts of men who hold me there
in reverence.
33. Faith, I say, is a heavenly thing. It is the prize of the soul
seeking in its torment to know itself utterly. It is the flight of the
True Self into the era of lost doubtings;
34. It is the march of the Spirit Valiant to a keeping of its pact
with Destiny, with the cheek unblanched and the eye
undimmed, always seeking the crownings of Omnipotent
Wisdom for the acts that are performed in the places that are
secret.
35. Go ye unto the world and manifest, but in your manifesting
remember my words: Wouldst ye have Faith? I say, have a pity
on yourselves for your vauntings after auguries, after prescient
desirings, after cajoleries of intellect.
36. Give wisely of yourselves but give ye to the uttermost, and
in that ye give with a furious sacrifice, so do ye manifest with a
consecrated motive.
37. Thus partake ye of goodly fruits that grow within the
garden of the Father and eat a sweet meal at the summons
of the Elect.
38. Hear my words and do them. I speak not in mouthings that
give me empty harmonies; I speak as one who hath seen many
men break their faiths with themselves and know not their
treacheries unto their spirits.
39. It is a time to be humble, it is a time to have gratitude, it is
a time to arise and go unto the Father of All Love with this
attestment:
40. I will be true unto the mission whereunto I am called;
I believe that I am called; I have heard the Voice calling and felt
the Spirit beckoning; so go I unto mine elected commission and
perform the service wherefore I am noted.
41. This is my Faith, that in the Last Great Day, I find myself
renewed for my beggaries unto conscience, and hostages
tendered for acts of circumspection.
42. This my prayer is, Father: That I do make manifest Thy
glory in myself, that I do come humbly into this arena of human
service and go not out of it until I have pleased Thee.
43. So praying I depart to keep tryst with my destiny, that
I arise daily and minister unto Thy benevolence expressed
through me unto those who wander, having no knowledge that
truly they are lost!
44. So ever be it. My blessing rest with you and provide you
with a pillow whereon ye take your slumbers. . . .
