Chapter 240:
The Times Bring an Action
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. HEAR ye a song that is sung unto me? . . . I say it is a hosanna
unto the host of those who watch valiantly, who lift their voices
not up unto the Beast, who rejoice in their birthright that the
times bring them openings for service, who go and come
proudly among hordes of earthly men saying: Give us a service,
that we may perform it.
2. I tell you again, the times bring an action. The Goodly
Company cometh and goeth. The wise ones are valiant, they
encumber not themselves with strivings after vanities, they give
and take bravely, they lift up their voices singing strongly:
3. We are those who do service unto the kingly ones, we
are those who wait not in the tents of an evil, we seek those
whom we know, we go and come joyously among the princes of
beneficence, that where goodly works prosper, there spread
we our beds.
4. I tell you it is an abomination unto me that there are
those who cry: We do shiver from evil, we do make our beds
valiantly and lo, in the night doth the enemy despoil them, we
do raise a sweet singing and lo, ere it is sung there cometh a
discord that lifteth an obscenity.
5. I say it plagueth them that there be those who confound
them, who set them on strange horses and bid them ride darkly,
who give them a sign and make them a mark, who give them
not riches when poverty biteth them.
6. I say it cometh unto me that their names are legion, that a
goodly host waiteth not for them, that a feasting commenceth
and they have not reached the doorstone.
7. Blessed are they who do labor for that banquet! blessed
are they who do hunger and thirst for the feast of righteous
service, that they eat of the viands of harmony to surfeit.
8. Blessed are those who are courageous in their service,
who faint not at strong promise or demand of us a lechery to
see that it is kept.
9. I tell you the earth is filled with those who offer fair service
when the wage seemeth fairer, when the sun shineth brightly,
when Nature is a song, when the zephyr hath an anthem and
their hearts hold a blessing.
10. They are the weak whom the cloud of darkness scattereth,
they are the feasters who are served the husks, who seek not
the treasure, who drink not the waters.
11. There cometh a band of Those Who Are Mighty, of those
who do righteousness unto the Father, of those who suffer not
the weak to persist in their evil, who give their accounting unto
the Bright One, of those who are worthy to be known as
companions.
12. They come in a tournament and deploy in a torment;
they ride hither and yon about the plain of evil doings; when the
enemy appeareth, they give of their stamina to open his ranks
and pass through to a triumph.
13. My beloved, be valiant! . . . let the Host be your boundmark!
. . . let the Lord of Righteous Strivings enter your names
upon the books of radiant happenings.
14. Let those who are weak go their ways to their cringings;
let those who have strength know the rise of their mettle.
15. These, then, are the Chosen: the ones who do faint not,
who give no joust to folly, who utter no whimperings in the face
of disaster, who balk not at penury, who know which things
belong to the Father and do them with thanksgiving that the
service they render giveth mark to the countenance.
16. The times hold great issues. The hour hath struck for those
who go upon a far journey to see to its beginnings, to look to
their vestments, that the storm or the sunlight wreak no rentings
in them.
17. The times draw nigh for those who are valiant to stand
forth in their places, to make a white greeting to those who are
noble, to say: We go together, there are none to do us
hindrance.
18. Ours is a mission that encompasseth a journey; it cometh
unto those who have no arms or anchor; it saith unto them,
Be of joyful countenance, we tell you, for behold the King of
Glory hath ordered up His minions.
19. The floodgates of righteous practices are open, there are
none to stay the torrent, behold we have set it, it wreaketh its
glory of beneficence on us, we bathe in its sustenance unto our
spirits.
20. These are they who are chosen; the ones who persist in
the visage of righteousness, who do no beggary unto the Beast,
who cast them no countenance unto the adversary, who have
no mission but performing in honor, causing the sons of men to
say:
21. These have come amongst us whose mettle we reverence,
these have come in to us whose arms have a splendor, yea
even a strength that conquereth as it battleth.
22. The times have an unction, the day hath a contest, the
Lords of the Mighty are coming from their tents, the plain is a
glory-sight, there are thousands coming in to do battle for the
Lord! . . . He hath called them by His tocsin!
23. Let us be cheerful; let us be contrite; we are chosen as
leaders and captains of legions; we are given to command; we
are sacred to a service.
24. Let us lift up our hearts and do good unto the enemy, even
though the enemy perceiveth it not; let us show him his follies in
the days of our victories.
25. We are those who are anointed, we are those who are led
up on the Mount of Transfiguring, we are those who have given
a crust of bread unto him who had neither purse nor scrip; who
had no faint heart when the barns of plenty answered to our
hammerings;
26. Yet took we not a mustard seed that was not of our
possessing by the measures of our strivings.
27. Heed these things. Do them. Strive not in the caprice of
him who is boastful, but give an accounting unto the Lord of the
Battle, praying in secret:
28. Thy kingdom cometh, . . . . . we usher it in! . . . . .
