Show QUESTION BOX because we may be unable to publish our arnt in its present form during the coming weeks and because we have received so many letters recently with questions which try our soul we will include some of them in this regular issue in order that you may know how we reply tp to them there are so many who pretend to be our friends but who only 1 st t us s hear bear from theril the ril when they have curiosity about our pro progress re ss and who are hafting wafting wali ting for us to perform miracles in order that they might have proof that we are being wisely guided one friend in the midwest mid west writes with all my troubles anci ana work I 1 must take time to relay chiti message to you I 1 still believe you are doing the right thing to found a colony as an example to ta the world that the life of unselfishness one to another is the only life but I 1 think it is possible you have misinterpreted sonic 0 your messa messages es this friend then a loni message which tells how bow wrong we vc are to think that josu asu will mak ma k return in lesh abesh I 1 also in iii regard to the changes change that aro are due to happen alad ends by saying positively there will bo be no land and water disturbances di humanity is entering a glorious phase of existence and ad the future holds much happiness and joy for those who aho will follow the teaching of your own teacher jesus the christ this IS true but only as man mail WILL live in accordance with these teachings may that happiness and joy exist and in the meantime mean man MUST GO THRU THE CLEANS ING PROCESS and the remaking making 11 of himself which will make it possible for jesus to live first in the hearts clearts of man arid and then to co booe me in person else why would it be necessary to establish these places of refuge befu e and to get away from the turmoil and confusion of the cities and congested places another one time friend writes to ask these questions and opens the letter by saying the reason for ayi not net having your letter some six months since we answered some other cipher definite questions is that I 1 really was waiting for or some definite information regarding E P so if you have anything specific 1 I 1 iwo would ad like to hear bear from you as soon as possible then followed something regard 1 in ing another group and this quest question iori would also like to hear the inner si side d e regarding this group as you get lit I 1 then this question how far have you gotten with the place of worship would alo like to know if you have any new members and how many of the old ones are still with you to all of these questions we must turn urn a deaf ear for we are no longer longcr expected to give an account of ourselves as we have tried to do in i the past we now quote from two etters which show the extremes of thought in in regard to our or complete divorcement from the life we to lead strange to say these two letters arrived in the same mail one from a woman and the obber from aman the one from a dear club friend with whom we worked for many years ad ap par antly she remembers us in kindly way the other from another old time friend with wham we as a family enjoyed many hours of contact doinik doin the things that material people do such as playing golf bridge and enjoying other social activities from which we ne have withdrawn to do the things we ave are now asked to do in order to make the transition from the material to the spiritual age of living we quote from the unkind letter first and leave cave the diore kindly thoughts as the final thought to ponder on our man friend says it is my opinion that you never had any real religion in the strict sense of the word vord but only a great ego arid and desire for leadership lea which caused cau ea you to cast aside everything that goes to make a normal life ani and yet thi person knew of the many activities engaged cri on in the past which i required leadership when you talked to me abbot your doings I 1 thought you were joking and is as for your predictions I 1 can imagine you yol get quite a laugh when alone at some of the people deop le who believe in them it is no wonder that hat sonic some of your people have left for even the simple minded get tired of waiting now you rno know w how bow I 1 feel about all yon have dene one und and aguin again I 1 say fay that there is yet tinie for a return to nornia normany nor macy icy we publish these excerpts so that you may compare what a materially minded person thinks think with what one who has suffered much durinzi during the years and who still h has as faith that god knows all and will 1 some day clay make right seeming wrong our other friend after telling of sohie of her own recent rc ceri experiences which have tried her soul says so much has happened in the last few years to both of us that we never dreamed could happen and it makes one realize that it is not a good thing to know just what whai is a head but to live one day at a time trusting in our heavenly leather father to give us strength to carry thu thru whatever burden ile he deems it is our portion to bear some weeks ago a friend sent me a clipping telling or trying to tell about the work you are interested in at the present time and I 1 wish to let you know I 1 am sure you are ing in good faith you have my best wishes in whatever you are undertaking and wish to assure you we arr arc as fond of 0 you as when you were here harp i with us many ask if you are well wel I 1 and happy and I 1 can only say 1 I trust so as we have not noe h heard c ard from frowin s you recently will you try to feel that I 1 aro am as much your friend as always and that I 1 wish you contentment arid and peace these two letters serve to show jhc thc th contrast between thoughts expressed by friends of bygone days an and we leave to you to deide deride which gave us the most pleasure to read because we know and therefore t h C ref ore understand der stand how difficult it is for those who have not yet su tiered any material losses but who continue to 0 enjoy the th e material things of life to b be e C concerned on C er no d about th ahinga i n gs of the spirit and we wa therefore send even greater LOVE THOUGHTS to the friend who criticises criticizes which may ring bring understanding to him when his great hour of need arrives another friend who mixes questions with unkindly remarks concerning our work asks for definite information regarding reg ardig our friend because cause e she feels she night help by sending energy thoughts so many have asked such questions in order to help but we are told that our work must be complete I 1 without mental effort although LOVE THOUGHTS ARE helpful when generated into act acton action on as we are caught to do now this form marks all the difference between the past met methods brads of so called healing ba aling processes and that which WILL be the new form and abich will be PERMANENT NT rather than temporary when only mental bea bealine liny power is in evidence anothy ar friend front from whom we have not heard in ages writes in this fashion how I 1 wish yo could get h a message for me there is so much id like to know so much about my work and another great desire so many ask this question and we have replied as many times that e do not ask for personal guidance although many times it comes and more often thin than not is only accepted if it agrees with what IS desired in closing this assortment of excerpts we offer the fine thoughts expressed by a friendie friend frien din in the northwest one whom we know only thru correspondence and which we include because it refers to our desire to speak well of all people and to try to see the gool good rather than to give expression to things aich which may not be so good this friend says there ate aie two outstanding things I 1 read in your paper that seems to mark your work as truly of the spirit of the new day one does appreciate the teachings of the new day put into actual practise meaning the new policy ey of the paper that whenever negative nt must be published the resolve to offset it by some news of good for there are none but of whom some good can be spoken amid all the mistakes and errors if all our oar papers took that stand what a step it would be toward bro brotherly atherly love being demonstrated you also spoke kindly of father divine recognizing the efforts cito ts OZ 0 others in constructive work as they see sec it truth b has many channels to meet the need and so the letters pile up and while we do the kindly e expressions of faith and will always ninke make reply to all letters wn w shall di discontinue contina contin 0 1 answering buc eions of 0 tho the type asked above |
