IDLENESS WON'T DO. TO WORK, IN THE FULLNESS OF STRENGHT!


Now you have come to know your own powers. Strike the iron while it is hot. Idleness won't do. Throw overboard all idea of jealousy and egotism, once for all. Come on to the practical field with tremendous energy; to work, in the fullness of strength! As to the rest, the Lord will point out the way. The whole world will be deluged by a tidal wave. Work, work, work — let this be your motto. I cannot see anything else. There is no end of work here — I am careering all over the country. Wherever the seed of his power will find its way, there it will fructify — be it today, or in a hundred years." You must work in sympathy with all, then only it will lead to quick results . . .
