My precious Student:

Have you not learned enough of me to obey me implicitly and promptly? Had you done this you would now be rejoicing in the freedom of a speaker without notes. Do you suppose that one of Jesus' students after the PenticostalActs 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. hour wrote a sermon? Now that hour would have come to you sooner if you had obeyedAs Written:oneyed me. There are two students one in ChicagoEditorial Note: Ellen Brown Linscott another in New YorkEditorial Note: Augusta E. Stetson who desire to hold you back and prevent your prosperity over and above theirs. They work against my directions to others but the one in N.Y.Editorial Note: New York, New York is careful to carry them out for herself when they do not conflict with her ambitious schemes. She has her good qualities. It is only the madness of her ambition of which i complain. I have learned that God requires me to be a servant and only a master, absolute, with them when others do not understand, and I do, what God requires. This student knows the great advantage of carrying out my directions. When I told her to quit notes she did it the very next Sabbath.

One more thing dear one that I especially require. It is this. Be ordained over your Church immediately. Take yourself up that neither Mrs. Linscott nor Mrs. Stetson nor any other Mrs. or Mr. can prevent your obedience to me and doing this in compliance with my request.
