inevitably contends with. She assumes
no control over anyone. but in three Of
her messages has said, Follow your
Leader only as she follows Christ" And
she adds in one of them: Lean not too
much on your Leader; trust God to di-
rect your steps. Accept my counsel
and teachings only as dies include the
spirit AMI the letter of the Ten Com
mandments. the Beatitudes, and the
teachings and example of Christ Jesus.
