Matt 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Matt 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Matt 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matt 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matt 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Matt 10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. Matt 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me is not worthy of me.

Why is this all. simply because they have not started with right motives They tell me they have and I try them to help them but there is nothing hid that shall not be revealed in this, sooner or later Their success in healing tells more than all else

They love more the ties of the flesh than those of Spirit and always hold on to the former if they conflict with the latter I am not censuring any one I am only explaining for your good what hinders your success as you do to the sick what stands in the way of their recovery you know better than they; I know better than you and yet your spiritual perception of the way is far beyond some others I expected you would hold out a little longer you told me you could three months Not curing and keeping until cured your first patients was where you lost. Your wisdom was not sufficient for that. I saw this and knew at once how it would end. Do not let it be thought you left because you was driven out call it your Family, as it was in reality Had you not laid up first your treasures in earthly things you would have been free to worked on under difficulties but you chose not to take the footsteps of science and because you are better than Kennedy you have no prosperity in wrong [?] Unclear or illegible  I could not help you when I desired to more than I ever did or I should have done more than I have
