Chapter 244:
We But Do the Master's Bidding
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. VERILY I come unto you, beseeching you that ye do no
untoward thing inflaming the adversary without a cause.
2. I say it is meet that ye preserve a decorum, but I say unto
you more: I say it behooveth you not to act unseemly, that the
good perish not, that the innocent suffer not, that those who are
without price are denied not their rewards.
3. I say it behooveth you to act circumspectly, yet I sanction
not cowardice; I say ye have a goodly prospect; defile it not with
indecorums, give no license to perjury, make not false
vauntings, recall at all times that a goodly host goeth with you
whose watchword is Probity.
4. Presently there come unto you those who say: Lo, go ye
with us, for we battle against the adversary even as yourselves.
5. I speak of them justly. I say that they battle not with you
against the adversary; they but advance their plans that the
adversary weakeneth and they step into his place, verily defiling
you. Of such I would caution you.
6. I say, make no false vauntings for or against them. Let
your speech be concise. Say unto them, We but do the Master's
bidding, we seek not glory unto ourselves, we write and we
speak having no iniquity in our hearts toward any race of men,
at all times adjuring ourselves that they are as they are because
of their ignorance of that which maintaineth when the battle
is ended.
7. Go ye unto the world and address it. Say, We come as
legions of light and silver, attending ourselves to causes that
are goodly; we would save the wicked even from themselves
if they would but have us. But they would have us not, and so
we go our way, speaking against the times and the evils of the
hour which distress the righteous on every hand.
8. We bethink ourselves ennobled; mayhap we stumble in our
pathways but we tolerate not the iniquitous man, we give no
sustenance unto lecheries, we defile not ourselves with the
hucksterings of Mammon; we go and we come; and our raiment
is not tarnished with that which defileth.
9. I say unto you, Be just, but in your justice recall the
suffering that cometh from ignorance. Be wise in your
administrations but give no blemish unto yourselves in that ye
didst perceive an evil and turned aside from it.
10. I, your Wiser Counselor, give unto you the Doctrine.
11. I say it pleaseth me that there are those who do battle in
my name; they come and go rigorously; they turn not aside from
evil but meet it and subdue it.
12. Of such come those on whose heads a blessing resteth, of
such are they who are crowned with a diadem that hath true
righteousness for jewels upon it.
13. I say those come unto you who do make a mockery of that
which ye do. Harken not unto them for they are of ignorance.
They wallow in their precepts, having blindness for eyesight.
14. It cometh unto me that there are those who defile you,
who do cast you down, who do write false teachings concerning
your activities, who do give you a name that is tarnished in
the nation.
15. Mind them not, beloved. Give them no countenance.
Presently they are footsore, verily they are weary. They have
not a place whereon to lay their heads.
16. Bind up their wounds when they have grown footsore; give
them of your satchels when they have come to hunger;
17. But see ye unto it that ye deal justly with them. Ask them
not, Are ye famished? Say unto them, What deserve ye of food
when ye have transgressed and brought your hunger upon
yourselves? . . .
18. Behold we have food and we give it unto you, but we ask
you in soberness, Is it not meet that we let you hunger? wherein
are we backward in doing just compensation unto those who
know suffering because of their own waywardness?
19. We say it is blessed that men should know hunger when it
bringeth them to wisdom;
20. And yet we do share our purses with you, not that ye do
hunger, for there are many hungering, but we give you of our
substance in that ye are brethren like unto ourselves in flesh,
and in our strength of combat we take pity upon your
nakedness and would not turn from you, that ye may be
clothed.
21. There is justice in that; there is love of the eternal.
22. Give not for Love that hath its vaunting of the spirit over
penury, but give in fellow-compassion that there were those
who fell before a weakness, yea even before a blindness when
they would not see the light of blessed truth.
23. For what doth it profit a man if he give unto those who
hunger, being hungry himself, or give sight unto those who are
blind if he hath not the Vision?
24. I say that man is strong who giveth of his substance
because he hath a strength and would not strike the one who is
weaker; who giveth of his alms in that he could give or as
easily turn away.
25. It cometh unto me that there are many men in high places
given to a lechery. Ye do combat them. I say it is blessed to
show your strength and abide in it ever;
26. But let your strength be as the strength of the adversary
that hath his cohorts behind him, who giveth or rebuketh in that
he hath strength and conserveth it, yea useth it wisely.
27. For the enemy giveth in weakness when his weakness
guideth him; but he who is strong hath a double honor in that he
giveth when choice is not denied him, whether to give or to let
perish by the wayside.
28. Be strong, be noble, be noble in your strength, have a
strength and pursue it, let your dictates be at all times the
dictates of strength, beautifully administered in that ye perceive
the cause of such ministering. . . .
