It has come like a whirlwind. – Some unrelenting critical breath has swept me through, and laid me bare; and scattered my goods to the four winds. I have written a description of the wreck and laid it in my desk, But as a supplement to my precious letter I will say that I have labored long to know myself and find my proper place. And if it proves to be at the lowest round then let me faithfully there by found. If I am not worthy the pearls that Christian Science contains then it is right that I should know it, and I court the realms of Truth to find it out. If it is necessary that I should take the raw edge of the critics lash, then my breast is bare. If poverty and humbleness is my place, then I accept it as unmerited grace. Is Christian Science only for those who do not toil with hands for food and raiment? If so, I am prepared to know it. Is it to lighten the burdens of the heavily laden ones or to add another weight? I am prepared to know the worst. If I have any material that is good to build with, I want to build it on the rock of TruthMatt 7:24 ¶Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Matt 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Matt 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Matt 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Luke 6:46 ¶And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luke 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: Luke 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. Luke 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great. . The question I asked you in regard to your price to usEditorial Note: See 083A.18.002. may be an impertinent one, Doubtless the world would view us as poor, yet what we have we have to use and not to lay up to moth and rustMatt 6:19 ¶Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Matt 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: , But the only question with regard to the matter now is, whether or not we deserve to have anythingAs Written:any thing. We are where and just what we are, not willingly but through our infirmities, and we are willing you should know them all. we expect no unmerited favors from any source.
