Excerpt from Zion's Works, Vol. 14: New Light on the Bible, From the Coming of Shiloh, the Spirit of Truth, 1828-1837 Ing, but God - the Eternal Word! And there is no other God for any to worship, and though you esteem the servant of the Lord highly in love for his work's sake, yet you worship not him, and he takes you that have both seen and heard him, as witnesses. Doth he make himself of any reputation? Or is he not rather among you as one that serveth Yes, - this ye have already testified in your letters to Mr Cook. Thanks be to God for you, my beloved brethren, that ye are not ashamed of His name, nor of us His servants, but are bold to speak things that are honest, so that this is our consolation in you, beloved. Though being absent in body from you, yet we are with you in spirit, rejoicing, and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ; and now let the meekness and love of Christ dwell in you - for He has compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; even so do ye, beloved, for ye were once dark ness but now are ye light in the Lord, walk therefore as Children of the Light, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use and persecute you, so shall ye be the Children of your Father which is in Heaven, for he maketh his Sun to rise upon the evil and upon the good, and sendeth the rain upon the just and upon the unjust; and these things we rejoice to find ye are yourselves taught to do, and so is the will of God that ye abound therein more and more, and thus you will glorify your Heavenly Father, and ye will increase in every good gift and at last those who now through their ignorance are your adversaries, beholding your good works and the steadfastness of your faith in the Lord, and your perfect goodwill towards them while they speak evil of you.
