I had reached your letterEditorial Note: See 302.43.018. on my orderly list and was going to reply to it to-day Corrected: today . When lo! the arrival of the beautiful lilies.

Many thanks for them, they are redolent of praise to Him who clotheth the lilyMatt 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: Matt 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matt 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? , and fragrant with e the love of the giver. Both of which make them very dear to me.

And now in reply to yours of the 23rd ultEditorial Note: See 302.43.018.. That letter reassured me of what I have always understood, namely, that the things you referred to with regret, were simply mistakes. And who of us is there, exempt wholly from mistakes? Here I always say in the words of our MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ: "let him that is without sin cast the first stone"John 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. John 8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. John 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, John 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. John 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? John 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. John 8:9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. John 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Yes, my precious student, I have iendeavored to be patient will Corrected: with all flesh, inasmuch as I need God's dear mecy Corrected: mercy for myself.

And now dear one on this bright blest day of sacred memories let me trust that your resurrection into newness of vision will wax brighter unto the perfect dayProv 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. .
