Your words last evening revealed God's direction. again, and that I was looking more to the degree than the Sprit. It was not right to make an exception even in my case; and God did not intend to give me the. (His) C.S.D. yet; I am not yet worthy of it. Please give me the testimonial again without the C.S.D, and then with that beam cast outMatt 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Matt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. , I can write that reply to Bro Dorman.

I can bless His holy name for bringing me into such contact with you for I know I am learning the true lesson in ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science with each interview, and can become His worker on the Journal, helping on our common CauseEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science.. Lead me, or guide me a little more as you have, how to handle the Animal Magnetism and God will make it a real help to you.
