I am very thankful my dear student for the Christian As Written: christian appreciation you had of my Mother thoughts and earnest prayer that you shall be saved, saved from all temptation even, and made perfect through suffering.

I would not for the world give you a single unnecessary pain, but I am the surgeon of mind and must probe and cut before I can heal. That is the most cross bearingMatt 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 16:24 ¶Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Mark 8:34 ¶And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Luke 9:23 ¶And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. part of my earthly mission May God help me to do it and you to be blessed by it

Affectionately
