The observation-disclosures and recent occur
rences at Weldon Farm are still the all
absorbing theme among Rockfordians.
Since Mary Weldan gave birth to child
the Indignation against Schweinfurth and
his followers has increased, and If he does
not soon wed the young women it is ex-
tremely probable that mob will go ont to
his place some night and drive him and
his followers out of the country. Schwein-
fulth still maintaining his innocence Of
the charges made against him, and his en-
tire band are still faithful. Schweinfurth
publishes the following defense:
The maintenance and the prosperity of
my cause are not dependant upon popular
favor. The very God that anointed Jesus
OF Nazareth and appointed him his mission
is the God that hath anointed and saneti-
fed me, and sent me into the world. The
success in performing my mission is con-
tingent upon nothing save my doing the
will OF Him who hath sent me. I geek
not, and I receive not glory from man.
/ seek not mine own glory. My mission
is to glorify the God of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. 1t is to accomplish the object
had in view by the God and Father of
Jesus Christ, and to verify and exemplify
that object. That object stated in brief is
this:
The restoration of the spirit of God to
the first power of life in man. My mission
otherwise stated is to mediate and 10 es-
tablish and to consummate the new Gov
enant.
Let those who are interested read and
ponder the following scriptures:
Jeremiah xxi, 3l-s4
Ezekiel xxxyi., :5-27.
maUs xi., 1927.
Isaiah iix., 1921.
Psalm XII, 6, 2. g.
The last verse in each reference is includ-
ed in the specified passage. These words,
located in the very heart OF inspiration, are
Gods statement of the mission and work
which | am performing. Ny success in
accomplishing this purpose of God is the
evidence that God is with me and in me.
Because the work of God has been prosper
ing in my hands, therefore my followers
believe that am he that was to come.
Ny work, stated again otherwise, is to
effect the Union, intended from the begin
ming of creation, between God and man.
Yea, to accomglisph and verify and exhibit
the fact that the mystery of Godlikeness is
God manifest in the flesh. TO hold up bs-
fore the world the solution in life of this
mystery, which has been hidden from all
generations. and is still yelled in obscruity
from the eyes of the present generation.
But to my people it is said:
Arise, shine, for thy light is come. and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon thee
Read all of Isaiah TX, Xxi, xii.
The Scriptures of Faith are to nv peo-
pie irradiated with the etfulgence of the
blazing fiambeaux of promise and proph-
ecv, IS the great divine fact of fnIfillment
wraps the volume of inspiration in the
splendor OF the manifested glory and tri-
umph of Almighty God.
Standing upon the sky kissed peaks of
inspiration, my people behold the exact
identity Of Gods law with the divine ma
ture. Right in connection with this fact
they behold another sublime truth, that
the incorporation of this law in man makes
him the divine man, the very image and
likeness and glory of God The divine
form OF man is seen in the law. The en-
powering Of the law in life by the spirit or
annointing produces the divine figure in
man. Here appears the consummation of
creation--the Incarnation. This is INV
work. And God is making it to prosper. -
Following are the verses cited upon which
Schweinfurth bases his argument of iusti-
fcation:
Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that 1
will make new covenant with the house of
lsrae and with the house of Judah. Not &C.
cording to the cove nant that made with their
fathers in the day that / took them by the hand
to bring them out OF the land OF Egypt. which
my covenant they broke, although was hus-
band unto them, saith the Lord. But this shall
be the covenant that will make with the house
of Israel; after those days, saith the Lord will
put my law in their inward parts and write it in
their hearts and will be their God and they snail
be nay people And they shall teach no more
every man his neighDor, aud every man his
brother, aging, know the Lord for they shall
greatest, saith the cord; for will forgive their
fniquity and Will remember their sin no more
jeremiah XXI, Si-34.
In the following it is possible that the in
attentive reader may not be able TO follow
thread OF the argument, which is not at all
times clear:
Then will l sprinkle clean water upon you.
and ye shall be clean: from all your flthiness
and from all Idols will l cleanse you. Ezekiel
xxxvi, 25.
Aud the Redeemer shall come to ZION and
unite thnm that turn from trs n. erosion in
Jacob, saith the Lord. As for me, this is nv
covenant with them, saith the Lord. My spirit
that is upon thee ami my words which have
put In thy mouth shalt not depart out of thy
mouth nor out OF the mouth of thy seed, nor out
of the mouth OF thy seeds seed. saith the Lord.
from henceforih and forever Isaiah lix., &c, 2L
Sacrifice and Offering thou didst no desire:
mine ears hast thou opened; burnt offering and
sia offering hast thou not reqairea. Tnen
said: Lo. come: in the volume of the book it
IS written OF me. delight to do Thy will, o, my
God; yea, Thy law is within my heart Psalm
xf, OF, 3.
For would not brethren. that We should be
ignorant OF this mystery, lest We should be wise
in your own conceits, that blindness in part Is
happened TO Israel until tie fuines of the Gen.
tiles be come in. And so Israel shall be saved;
as it is written: There snall come out OF Sion
the deliverer and shall turn away ungcdliness
from Jacob. For this is my covenant nto them
when shall take away their sins. Romans XII:
%, "a.
Schweinfurth has been a close reader of
the good book from which he takes his argu-
ments. HIS letter is written in dashing
business hand, which betrays no signs OF
fimIdity in the man. He apparently has
no fears OF prosecution under the Illinois
laws.
