Chapter 250:
My Purse Is My Lord's
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. I SAY unto you, Be patient; I say unto you, Be contrite; I say
unto you, The enemy falleth, loaded with the sacks of the pence
that are his armor.
2. Oft hath it come to you that if ye had but pence, then would
the battle for righteousness be victorious; I say unto you, the
pence cometh indeed, and yet I say more; I say that it cometh
within the Father's time.
3. Not all who cry, Here am I, Lord, use me for Thy kingdom's
sake! mean that which they cry in the silence of their hearts;
verily they mean, Here am I, Lord, use me as it pleaseth Thee,
but ask me not that I give recompense, verily would I have it
that Thou didst give recompense unto me for offering my
talents.
4. These are the small chaff and the little bushel of the
garnerings at the Father's harvest; verily they cry with a loud
voice when the enemy pursueth, but when the enemy
vanisheth, lo, they declare: We are those who have known
a deliverance; let us therefore make merry in that a time for it
hath come to us.
5. I say, the time hath not come for their deliverance, yea
even for the shoutings of the victory, until the enemy be
delivered into the hands of the Father.
6. But much cometh first, beloved. Those who are as lead
in the sack of the Infinite must sink to the bottom of the seas
of iniquity;
7. Those who plead a righteous cause, and cry a righteous
cry, must have raised unto them a pennant about which they
gather that the Lord of Glory may come in and the shoutings
have a joyousness that persisteth down far ages.
8. So was it Written, even in the beginning; so shall it be unto
the sons of Benefaction, though the long night pursueth and the
righteous now walk naked.
9. I say there are those who wait without the banquet halls of
wisdom's feastings, knowing the door but refusing to come in.
They shall be shown, and the door swing open unto them by the
hand upon the latch.
10. I say there are those who shall pursue a righteous man's
repast upon a banquet of true fruits; but lo, they are hungry as
Mammon's host advanceth, and they know not their manna
which falleth in the byways, supporting and sustaining them as
a righteous army groweth.
11. I say there are those who must see by the sign upon their
foreheads that it behooveth them to be up and about their
Father's business, giving of their silver that the battle may
go forward.
12. Is it meet that we should say unto these: Ye are the
Chosen, or, Ye are the Fallen, in that their times have not yet
come to manifest their service?
13. Truly, I tell you, he who is called perceiveth the calling;
he doth the righteous thing, he advanceth with the minions,
he breaketh a crust and giveth a loaf, he openeth his purse and
the coinage runneth out, yea to everlasting, until the purse
be emptied.
14. He saith unto himself, My purse is my Lord's and the
richness thereof, hereby do I give it that the righteous may
come into that which they aspire to. My coinage is my Lord's
and I cast it to the minions, that they sweep a clean track
and blow a clean breath on that which is iniquitous. So I have
said it.
15. Is it meet, therefore, that some should be chosen because
the times are calling, and some left behind because of
their blindness in presenting the servants with that which
enlighteneth those who are yet blinded?
16. I say, all things in their season, even the gift that
proceedeth from the conscience.
17. There are those among you who have received little gifts
accruing unto you; ye have received them with a gratitude;
ye have taken the small talent and buried it not in the bosom
of the earth.
18. Think ye, beloved, that these things pass unnoted? . . .
have ye been lecherous in that ye have bethought yourselves:
The work hath a pausing in that gifts of pence are little?
19. I say, it hath not been the size of the gift which discloseth
unto you the beauty of the spirit of him who did give it; it hath
not been the mountain of gold that hath halted the enemy in his
advancings to the moment.
20. Always hath it been that those who have sustained you
have behaved from a conscience. Behold the Father seeth the
conscience, and even as the widow who presented her mite,
so cometh unto those who have borne the battle bravely the
tears of the contrite wetting proffered purses.
21. So hath it ever been, beloved, with those who have gone
forth to conquer for the truth's sake.
22. The enemy saith truly: We have small fear of those who
come assailing us, for have we not captured that which giveth
them a sinew for the conflict?
23. Behold he lieth! . . . .he feareth you greatly! . . . .he
saith unto himself: Behold they attack us without an armor,
behold they advance without an ordnance; how therefore can
we stand against them? for verily the attack doth carry a
benevolence that hath not Caesar's countenance, verily the
battle achieveth a victory for those who came warring with
breads for the righteous.
24. All things in due season, my dearly beloved, even the gift
that maketh the conflict victorious unto your arms, victorious
unto your hearts, verily victorious to your encompassing
benevolence.
25. Hear my words and be wise. I say I touch the hearts of
those who sustain you; behold they sustain you further, verily
from a storehouse that hath endlessness of resource.
26. Wouldst ye spend a little coin that the heart may be great?
. . . think ye that hearts are made great by the pence?
give honor to my wisdom, that I know the fond sacrifice that
maketh great the spirit.
27. Mammon hath coinage to squander in victories, but the
pence runneth out and the victories are carrion.
28. The Lord's work meriteth the fond embrace of a commerce
coming swiftly, but out of the heart the fat purse poureth,
whether it give pence or whether it pour victories made of
Caesar's bullion.
29. I say the increase is the Father's and in that He giveth it,
the battle progresseth; all else is lechery and the feather-flight
of tokens. . . .
