Show WHY NOT MORE VOLUNTARY WORK TO REDEEM THOSE WHO ARE IN ECONOMIC DISTRESS? ,LocalIy there are many people who do voluntary work in the temple to redeem their dead. They' do it with pride and deep satisfaction, without hope of monetary reward or profit, believing they have done something worthy and saving, lnat is fine and commendatory. How strange it is that so little is done voluntarily and without the profit motive to redeem the earth souls who are stranded in economic "prisons," imprisoned in poverty, ignorance, misery and sin, from which so many cannot extricate extri-cate themselves any more than "spirits in prison" can. There should be just as much joy and satisfaction in lifting souls out of deplorable conditions here on earth. They are as worthy here as they are beyond the veil. The shameful conditions con-ditions under which so many struggle do all but stifle and crush their spirits and leave them much less likely to be saved hereafter. The world's economic prison houses are full of men, women and children who cannot redeem themselves. What an uplifting work it would be to give them a helping hand and lift them out; give them means to start rehabilitation, rehabilita-tion, and help make life for them what it should be. Nothing develops the soul like helping other souls. |
