DEAR FRIENDS The knowledge that ca CHI

between them, yet each one only can know-can
ealize the travail for their own This also, pre-

FOR truth to them is only that which is begotten
II God. in them, and by the revelation of His

he Son of God. This son givens this child born,
rhich declared himself to be the Truth, and
which only can unfold the way to the kingdom of
Roeace, whereof He is the Prince, must be known
| BY all, before the kingdom OF heaven can be
realized by them. The mother only is the witness
s,f her own child she only knoaos that which to
others is subject of belief thus the Truth bears
IMPRESS of its origin, and in the heart in which it
rs brought forth, there is an evidence most sure
its revelation and to that heart more convincing
han all that others have ever known. The light
remains to be the same evermore, and is known

That exist. This we see outwardly; so those who
have known the Truth, are qualified to distinguish

Having known the light Of this to unfold

rom all others, and by it, to discriminate be-
tween those things, that otherwise appear OF one

ever and ever will be slain, from the founda-
Zion of the world, by the opposite of heaven in

AS Adam by disobedience fell from the estate
which ne was placed by his Creator, so obedience
vas that by which Christ was enabled to over
come. and enter into his kingdom. In dsobedi-
.nce, the spirit of Adam, all fell from acceptance
with God, being yet the creation of his hand and
subject to his overriding power. BY obedience.
which is the spirit of Christ, all may be made to
witness the life of the soul renewed in them, for
Christ is the life of every child of God. Are we
children of God ? for il we children, then

Having thus received OF the gifts of the king
iom the authority of the Truth is felt, dwelt in,
and exercised all that stands in opposition
TO it's counsel. To those who disobedient,
the exercise of this authority is ever stone of
stumbling, and rock OF offence. Being them
selves servants of sin, the transgressors of the
Divine Law, can be no other than enemies to
those who have attained to the glorious liberty
and freedom Of the gospel Of Jesus Christ. While
they pleading for the liberty Of disobedience,
they are in the disunity and out of fellowship
with the brethren, standing opposed to the dis
cpline Of the church, and in this condition the
Testimonies relative to our daily walking, which
The Truth has given its servants to bear, are OF
light estimation or, are openly condemned. We
10 not disesteem that which we honor by obedi-9
ence, nor is that which we disobey, held in repute
oy us; thus it is by disobedience to the Truth
that it's wholesome restrictions are made irksome
to u.s. Through want Of adhering to the law or
gress, and having transgressed, was the recipient
Of punishment, and now, the disobedient being in
fear Of the punishment, would desire that the law
be removed rather than the fulfilling of its judg
ment should separate them from happiness
whereas, by fathfulness in the law it is fulfilled
and it's rewards completed The removal of dis
cipline will not make any perfect for while the
spirit of disobedience remains, it will continue to
bring, as disobedience ever has brought, death
into the world. FiHsf sssox
Nan having witnessed the birth of this Son
which is the light, with it receives, life As the
light of the luminary of day is requisite for the
life of the animal nature, the spiritual cannot
exist without the light of this sun Of righteous
ness and as many as have Witnessed the law of
this spirit Of ife to become their light have known
an acquaintance with Justice. Mercy and Truth
and consequently, redeemed from the counterparts
injustice, cruelty, and lies for this is the work
OF the Redeemer, which he, works, even as he
testified, MY father worketh hitherto, and
work" This work of Justice, of Mercy and of
Truth, is that to which are all called, and which
will produces the gorious fruits Of good will to all
men, Striking Is it does the root Of pridc in
