My experience in this direction has served a very bitter experience to me, in that now seeing As Written: seing the eternal Science of your teaching, I see that the past three and a half years of searching for truth elsewhere; i.e. Arens, Evans, et alAs Written:etal. is even more than so much time lost for I can never redeem the timeEph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Eph 5:15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Eph 5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. in which I should have been able to have led hundreds or with God's As Written: Gods blessing, thousands, to see the MANIFESTATION of the mysteries of a Life hid with Christ in GodCol 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. . even as I am now able to SEEAs Written:toSEE them after a course of lessons with your pupil, Mrs. A. V. C. Leavitt.
