My dear Student

Your kind dismissal and letters receivedAs Written:re'd, I will sometime when we meet, tell you more than I can write. I have the letters that show there was a wrong done in the first place, hence my warning, for I know "that God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap"Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

But I specially requested that the church decide the question, not I. Now I repeat that whatever questions in any of the C. S. organizations come up — no reference be made to me, for I hereby state that I will not entertain the question nor consider it, and why?

Because under the counteracting mental influences, if I do this, my counsel is liable to be either carried out too late, or misunderstood, or carried out only in part, and because of all these things the wisdom and necessity of it is not seen nor the good it might do accomplished and many will say she is a hard master" I have borne this many years and think at this period of my retirement it should be seen that this is why I left the field

Again my students must learn sooner or later to guard themselves, to watch and not be misled

I appreciate your tasks far more than you can mine and have rewarded As Written: rewared you by incessant care for you many years It is a grave mistake not to do quickly all that is worth doing, delay gives all away, under our circumstances.

I am as ever
Your faithful teacher
