Execute it as speedily as possible. I give you the Mesmerists Program – whenever I order a measure to be carried by my loyal Students. It is this 1st Dissent from her and from her directions 2. Go out of the place into some more hopeless locality. 3 You are poisoned to death.

All the above understood can be overcome at once. It is the ignorance of the Programe of Mesmerists of some of my good students, or their resistance to admit their aim towards them,― that thwarts my best laid plans, oftentimes.

Read 34thPs 34:1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Ps 34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. Ps 34:3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. Ps 34:4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Ps 34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. Ps 34:6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Ps 34:7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Ps 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Ps 34:9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. Ps 34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Ps 34:11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Ps 34:12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Ps 34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Ps 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Ps 34:15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. Ps 34:16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. Ps 34:17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. Ps 34:18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Ps 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. Ps 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Ps 34:21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. Ps 34:22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. & 91st PsalmsPs 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Ps 91:2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Ps 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. Ps 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Ps 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Ps 91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. Ps 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Ps 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Ps 91:9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; Ps 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Ps 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Ps 91:12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Ps 91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Ps 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. Ps 91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. Ps 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. God is all there is no sin, sickness or death only to such as believe in them Guard your belief and you will lose all fear of Man
