178: O MAIDSERVANT OF GOD! THY LETTER DATED 9 ...

O maidservant of God! Thy letter dated 9 December 1918 was received. Its

contents were noted. Never lose thy trust in God. Be thou ever hopeful,

for the bounties of God never cease to flow upon man. If viewed from one

perspective they seem to decrease, but from another they are full and

complete. Man is under all conditions immersed in a sea of God's

blessings. Therefore, be thou not hopeless under any circumstances, but

rather be firm in thy hope.

Attendance at the gatherings of the friends is specifically to keep them

alert, vigilant, loving and attracted to the divine Kingdom.

If thou hast a full and eager desire to travel to Phillsburg, Montana,

thou art permitted, perchance thou mayest be able to ignite a candle amid

that group of miners and may make them awake and vigilant so that they may

turn to God and may acquire a share from the Bounty of the divine Kingdom.
