it is poor enough. It is poor enough
Do not boast, my brother Do not boast my sister If
all perfect Why then would need any trials
any discipline; but not perfect. And know

Now the question is Are you willing to pay the price?
The prize there and you know what you have to do in

And then it says, "And there shall in wise enter
into it anything that defleth."

No night thereyou just think of that 'No night there
eternal day-no night
The Worship in Heaven will be Without Forms
Ceremonies
Then there is the expression "And I saw no temple
therein Now, do know little about that. There will
not be temple needed any forms of worship. Wor
ship there will be absolutely pure Here have have
forms We poor weak finite creatures and the only
