Inthe beginning of man, the world was already in existence, just as it is todaywhen each one of us arrives; the great Creator had seen to it for the benefitof his creatures, the food they eat was a different food of what we eat today;such as fruit in its raw state, also herbs as they grow.  We have most of our food cooked, andthe best of the juices are thrown away. No doubt we are careless, and much more wasteful than our forefathers,he couldn't run to a chemist shop for treatment, so he was taught to take thefree gifts of God naturally.  Ifyou took those free gifts of God today from where they grow, they would be justas cheap as the lovely sunshine and fresh air, and what was fresh runningstreams of water, until the acts of man spoilt them.

 

Everythingthat man had in the beginning was free, he didn't toil in the fields all dayhis life was natural, until a few so called master-men began to make themslaves, to toil for "their benefits" and so on, through the agesuntil we come to our own time.  Mythoughts was concentrated on the teaching of the scripture, and it ratherstruck me as odd, that none of our forefathers had wrote any life story, rightthrough the ages, even Christ didn't leave any written message, and it struckme as odd that all the books of religious teachings was published about twelveto seventeen hundred years after the death of Christ.

 

Itstruck me as odd, for this one person should be sorted out and made such a fussabout, when it was just such as is known today in places, as a mob-law,"take him", there man, to a tree, and hang him.  It struck me, as; if anyone wanted tomake a fuss about Christ, why did they leave it twelve hundred years orso.  I came to the conclusion, thatthe only way to know the truth was to live it, and record at least some of mywitness for the benefit of others to follow, who may wish to follow my path,and avoid the hardness of life path.

 

Itstruck me as I was minding sheep on the hills, what a lovely surrounding thevillage that I was born in, had. And my mind travelled away to Jerusalem.  Jerusalem, the so called, Holy City, well; something toldme, that it never was a Holy City, it had always been the centre of strife, andwickedness.  The stories of Christsbirth, and resurrection contradict themselves, and nobody who uses their brainscan fail to see; but the teachings have got hold of some people to such anextent that they, fools as they are, think that they can confess to a priestand be forgiven.  God takes secondplace to no man, or image.  Andwho-so-ever preaches anything different is already condemned.  God is the one, and only.  We have not got to dress up in fineclothes to approach him.  Do as Ido, take him with me wherever I go, I don't have to go somewhere to meet God,he; and all his beauty is forever with me.  If you meet me in the field, or in the street, I am just oneof you, but you may notice that I am not in a hurry, nature has taught methat.  If I should tell yousomething for your good, it don't worry me one bit if you take no notice, youwill learn, if it is by the hard way. The laws of nature are the laws to follow.

 

Thelaws of man have caused man to be tied up in knots, and it hurts.

 

Butthe laws of man have had to be made because, the laws of God was forsaken, butyou can take it right here, from me that, unless you obey the laws of God.  That is the teachings of Christ, notone of you will pass into the Kingdom of God.  Let me make this quite plain.  If you think more of your dog, horse, cat or even your ownchild, or any kind of property, or mechanical machine, or if you are causingyour neighbours any anxiety and suffering through your contraptions, then letme warn you that you will reap your just reward.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Godsspiritual Kingdom is like unto the earthly Kingdom, it is separated similar toour Islands.  Those Islands was atone time safe from invasion until man made them all unsafe.  But the barriers in the spiritualKingdom will be so that no one will escape.  But to those of you who admire the works and wonders of thegreat creator.  Then you will beaware of the presence of God in you. You will have nothing to fear, though you may have a few aches andpains, don't blame God, he has supplied you with everything free, so as to putthose things right, but you have failed to accept the gift of God, and put yourfaith in your doctor and his treatment, for which you pay for in wealth, andhealth.

 

Itreminds me of a priest who preaches, put your faith in God.  But he himself puts his faith mostly inthe doctors.  It reminds me also ofa man who was suffering from dropsy, he had been turned away from hospital asincurable, his own doctor had told him that all the medicine in the worldwouldn't do him any good.  Butalas, the man strolled around the fields until he came to a shepherd, theshepherd noticed the condition, and received the above reply.

 

Littledid that hospital know that within ten days that person was at work againthrough taking broom, that grew almost by his door, only one of Gods gifts;free.

 

Onanother occasion I witnessed a man, bedridden for three years, his feet restingon the, foot bed-rails, his feet was just one mass of sores.  No sleep, no peace, and no prospects ofgetting better he too had been told at hospital that he was incurable.  Also the parson had seen him, and hetoo, had given him little encouragement for he said there seemed little chanceof ever getting any better after such a long time.  But there was one faint hope; he did say, surely there mustbe someone who can do something if that someone can be sent along; perhaps hisprayers was answered, for one day the same shepherd knocked on the door, it wasa poor slum looking house, but the man tried to be cheerful. The shepherdremoved the bandages and inspected the feet and legs; yes what that man hadsuffered, but it was not Gods wish, it was God who had sent the shepherd to thehouse, it was God through the shepherd who had the man on his feet again in tendays, it was that same man who walked four miles on the tenth day, and stilllives in Stubbington and does a little gardening.

 

Onanother occasion a telegram arrives at the hour of five o'clock in the eveningthe shepherd was shearing sheep, he set off immediately, he had been workinghard all day, there was sixty miles between him and his mother who was theneighty-four, and all hopes of recovery was gone, nothing can be done for her,it must take its course.

 

Justpicture that shepherd riding his bicycle up hill, and down, and up again forsixty miles, hoping, in fact trusting to find his mother alive, at 20 past oneon Sunday morning the shepherd son arrived, two sisters was rubbing mother totry and get life into the paralysed limbs, Mother had, had a stroke she wasunconscious.

 

Thewords spoken by the shepherd son was; let me have hold of her; all the rubbingin the world, wont do her any good. The son took his mothers wrist in one hand, and the other hand settledquietly into the nerve centre and as he lay across the bed holding Mother just;she went peacefully to sleep within fifteen minutes, two days later she was up,as bright as ever, and from then she got about until she was 94.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Onanother occasion the same shepherd was working along the road in the capacityof a navvy, when a large man fell down unconscious, the heat of the sun hadbeen too much, that was about eleven in the morning, and at twelve he wasriding his cycle, so near to death, yet he still lives.

 

Thissame shepherd mixed with many classes of labour, after many years with sheep,he worked in the gasworks, and mains, and maintenance, on house repairs andhouse building, on sewers, as roadman, as gardener, and farm worker, just towitness the conditions of the work and management, yes and with aerodromedefence dogs and as rat-catcher, he would often tell you how to treat your dogsalmost free, never a charge for himself. Once I saw him digging up some allotment belonging to a man with crippledfeet, and on another occasion I saw him digging and planting a dear old couplesgarden, not for money, no; there is something more dear to his soul than money,the will of his Heavenly Father. What does it profit a man to become great on earth, most of them as Isee them only fools themselves, and always leads to some form of suffering, andoften by many, then the answer is, who is going to pay for all this suffering,God knows, the answer is ready, your records are known, your marks cannot berubbed out, some of your fates are already allotted.

 

DidChrist not tell you; he did and plain. It is not for me to write here what is in the scriptures, only just afew reminders, my work is as witness and here I find the harvest is great, butthe labourers are afraid to commence, they are afraid to separate the taresbecause the tares are the big and powerful organisations from where they gettheir labours pay.

 

Isee the Bishops and Clergy, and laymen, preaching their warnings, but who takesany notice?  Not the big men.

 

Thenwe see the churches split up like unto a frightened flock of sheep.  We see also the newspapers every day,everybody else complaints and troubles. We hear from other sources, warnings of starvation looking us in theface; but who takes any notice?  Wehear of missionaries going from house to house, in the hope of turning thepeoples thoughts to God; but it is not only your thoughts that is required, butdeeds.

 

Thoseof you who play any part of satans game on this earth, may please themselveswhether they take any notice of this warning or not, it wont worry me one bit,but you will not pass by anyone of Gods chosen people from now on.

 

Godhas shown unto me many things that I may be a witness unto Him.

 

Throughmy work, and travels, and visions which are many.

 

Littledid I think what a lesson I should learn, through just being called out onedark night to gather in a frightened and strange flock of sheep.

 

WhenI stopped them from going their own way, they began milling around in circles,and they continued milling until I had worked them across the field into acattle yard, they didn't even know that they were entering the yard, as eachone was following the other with no view, at last I shut them in, that was inthe year 1913.  Now in the year1949 I see the peoples of the world going round in circles knowing not wherethey are going, or what will happen tomorrow.  There are rumours of all kinds, there are strikes, andthreats of more strikes.  There isthe food situation, and party politics, there is also the more serious situationbetween the split churches, which brings me to my next lesson.

 

 

Itwas in the year 1917.  And my flockof sheep was changing hands, they had been sold, it reminds me of us, when wechange our Governments, we know not what kind of a leader the head will be, orhe may turn out to be a drover, as in the case of my flock of sheep, they hadbeen used to following me as a leader, but when the drover arrived to take themaway, they were at a loss to know what to do, or where to go, because thedrover was behind them, to drive them, instead of going in front to lead them,and the first open gate they saw, they turned in and then the milling began,these sheep was not used to being driven, but when they heard the shepherdvoice, they stopped milling and run back into the road where their trustedshepherd stood.  Yes; with tears inhis eyes, the shepherd turned for home and left his flock to travel in theopposite direction.  Here I have alesson that fits in so clearly with the actions of man, first is the governmentsand their politics, always at each other throats, always trying to split thepeoples into frightened groups.

 

Thechurch is no better, they too have many differences, good shepherds are scarce,but the drovers only study their pay, they don't care who they have deliveredtheir flock to, so long as they get their pay, this lesson includespoliticians, preachers and even organisers of workers.  There is still one more lesson to belearnt from another flock of sheep, but the same shepherd.

 

Thisalso happened one dark night.  Theshepherd was asleep in bed, when a rap on the door aroused him, he opened thewindow and peeped out, then recognised his masters voice, our sheep are out,and I thought I had best come for you, very good sir, answered the shepherdI'll be with you in a minute or so, in a few minutes they were speeding alongthe road in a car, until they reached the field where the sheep were feeding,and the sound of the sheep-bells gave their position, the shepherd left thecar, and went alone to investigate, on reaching them, he was stood gazing intothe darkness, and just as if he had a friend close by, he said I think I can doit, I'll try.

 

Thenwith a loud and clear voice he called three times, and every sheep answeredhim, and ran towards him, and they following him through the darkness, acrossthe field, and down a road, in through another gate and across another fieldinto the fold, when it was all done, and so quickly without the aid of dog, orman, the master said "shepherd", "you can handle a flock ofsheep".

 

Soyou see, if those sheep had feared the shepherd, they would not have followedhim;

 

Howmany times have you been told to fear; God.

 

Ifyou fear him, you will not trust Him. You must trust God as Christ trusted Him.  Fear only to offend, and you will find peace of mind, andhappiness, you'll find yourself talking to God wherever you are.

 

Thereare two voices that speak to you one is evil; the other is good.  God often stands by your side when youlittle dream of it, God watches the evil things being done, often times behindthe screen, he is at present watching satans work being carried out, and thevictims are the ones who suffer, often 'mental' pain, or physical pain, someare (removed quickly and are not allowed to carry on), while others arerestored by pain, but don't blame God for your pain, you, and your contraptionshave brought it on, you have gone away from Gods way of nature, you have yourown man-made-laws and some of those are painful.  God is a mysterious being, his ways are not so easy tounderstand, especially when the churches are all split up, as they aretoday.  The teaching of Christ isplain Christ told you to worship the Father, Christ worshipped the Father, andif Christ had been God, he wouldn't have worshipped Himself.

 

 

 

Christdidn't die so as to be worshipped, he was murdered because he was toooutspoken, even his friend John was murdered for speaking in his favour, yetChrist told you to worship the Father, but my own witness to God is that mostof the worship is to and through Christ; who was just another such person asthe others of Gods creators, Christ told you Himself that we could become ashe, if your faith was good enough, much of the teaching is false andmisleading.  If I should die thesame way, or for the same cause, I like Christ would die as an example,trusting in God, that means that everybody else would trust in God, not in me,you pray to God, not to me, so are you praying at the foot of the wrong tree?are you praying to a Virgin, Christ or God.

 

Godtakes second place to one.

 

ACity of tears

 

Godcaused me to enter into a City, it was a City of Tears, and as I gazed at theweeping Mothers and Fathers, Wives and children, and friends, I found myselfwiping away the tears from my own eyes, and I wondered how many Cities wereexperiencing the same dreadful results of war.

 

AsI looked on, I could picture the peoples in Germany as they were in Portsmouth,weeping, and waiting for news of the lost and injured, and survivors from themost dreadful naval battle on record, the battle of Jutland; I was in the Cityon the morning after the battle of the previous day, it was a city of tears.

 

Onmy return home I was inspired to put on record the wickedness of it all, peace;so near and yet so far off.  Godrevealed unto me the secret of it all; how the Emperor of Germany, the cousin,of our "King Edward the seventh" had been here to England to find away to peace; but lo, the greed of man prevented peace, brotherly-love and afuture happiness of the world.  Ifwe in Britain had seen our way to invite to Germans to carry their share of theburden of manning our large Empire, and at the same time, creating goodwill,and giving them expansion room, for their children to live, and work in peace,instead of having to die in a selfish war, this world would have beendifferent.  As I witnessed theGerman-prisoners toiling in our fields 'as prisoners', and on the other side,our very own men were doing the same thing under war-time conditions, insteadof peace it all shone through me mind like a light it was intended to be, andnot until man has put away selfishness, greed, and prejudiceness and broughtthis world under one big organisation, as it is in the Heavenly Kingdom, canthere be peace.  Like Heaven-on-Earth,we often hear, but this earth is what the peoples make it, but many are tooblind, and selfish, to see or think for themselves, and understand what eachone of their selfish habits amounts to when you're piling them on by themillions a day.  Have you everstopped to think what would happen, if you were invited to live with your Kingfor a while, in his palace and surroundings, you couldn't be accepted withunclean habits, and a selfish disposition, could you?

 

Sonow; don't make a sad mistake about entering into Gods Heavenly Kingdom youhave been told that God is waiting for you with outstretched arms, that may bedo, and it is so, but even then you cannot expect to enter into the presence ofGod any easier than you would enter into the palace of your King, but there isa big difference in comparison of the two.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arogue, dressed in fine clothes, educated at a college can be shown into ourKing, but a rogue of any sort will never enter into the Kingdom of God, youwill need no fine dress to meet God, or he would have provided you with one,but you will need a clean soul, a clean mind, and a pleasant word andsmile.  This place then, is theplace to prepare oneself; to become a good trusty worthy

servantin all your undertakings, and only by so doing, can Earth be madeHeavenly.  Or can any person enterinto Heaven who has missed the chance to prepare.

 

"Lightenour Darkness"

 

Alight was issued years ago,

Itwas handed down through time

ByGod the Father to his son's

Untilthat light was mine.

 

Sep10th 1949.  The subject this weekis flies, and infantile paralysis.

 

Itis striking, that whenever the medical profession is up against a few uncommondeaths, they always dig up something to blame, whether or not it has nothing todo with the complaint.  So as thefly cannot answer for itself I will do my best to clear him.  The railways and the lack of propersanitary facilities are blamed for carrying flies into town to pitch on someoneand give them infantile paralysis. Or the flies are supposed to travel by rail and follow the foods intothe shops, well, there is a plain answer to that one.

 

Wehave to separate 'one fly', from the other; and look into their habits, thefact is that a scavenger fly that devours the scavenge as mentioned never leavesits hunting grounds, unless the railways was carrying guts loaded with filth,before I leaves this fly, let it be known that it never enters a house, unlessit was filthy, or has it hardly ever been known to settle on a human body.

 

Thatbrings us to the blue-bottle fly, or blow-fly, this type will settle on anykind of meat especially if it is going off, it can tell you to look to yourmeat, for it has detected what you haven't, perhaps a tainted bone that is inyour meat that needs attention, this fly just lays its eggs around theunwholesome parts and allows the maggots to devour the meat, and get it toearth.  Thousands of these fliesare killed by wasps, and spiders, but their habits is to get their prey toearth where the maggot remains until it has gone through its transformationperiod, unless it becomes the victim of its many enemies such as birds.  My opinion is that the fly is doing agood job of work, cleaning up the filth that we human beings allows to layabout.

 

Thenwe come to the little house fly, clever little fellow, walking on the ceilingupside down, dipping its tongue into the sugar or milk, and cleaning itselftime and time again, I can't see where this fly is dirty unless its someonesdirty habits that causes it to be so.

 

Thenthere is the mosquito that also is an outdoor fly, it should have noattractions in a house, since there are sprays to counteract.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nowwe come to the very small fly, often they can be found where potatoes arestored, they hatch out by the thousands, as their eggs are already in thosedark potatoes.  That brings us tothe fact that we eat thousands of flies eggs when we eat dark potatoes, thedifference is that we have them cooked and don't know it, but if you want tosee for yourself, just put a black potato in a clean glass jar and put the tintop on it, make one small air hole in the tin top so small that nothing can getin or out, you will soon see black juice coming from the potato, a proof ofwhat your stomach is taking in daily, and what may well be causing lots of illhealth today, later you will see very small, black flies hatched out.  One more thing about flies, that is Ihave seen many sheeps feet completely cured by flies when the knife anddressings have failed, also I have seen horses feet cured by flies,"nature has its way".

 

 

"Andthis is my Motto"

Letme live, and let me die

Witha sparkle in my eye,

Letmy actions every day

Leadsome soul along the way,

Letmy voice be true, and clear,

Keepingeveryone from fear.

MyHeavenly Father God of love

Mythoughts are still with Thee,

Andsince my very childhood days -

Ahappy memory.     

 

(2)

 

IfI could just express those words

Andmake them all spell love,

Thisearth would be a happier place

Withblessings from above.

 

(3)

 

ForGod is love, and love alone

Canmelt a hardened heart of stone,

Butlove and patience, time and faith

Cansave a soul before its late.

Thelesson that our Saviour taught

Wasnot that we should bear his cross

Hebore his cross that we should be

Aband of thankful men set "free".

Thenwhy should you be told a lie

Tobare his cross until you die,

T'was"he" who died that you may see

Howto avoid that cursed tree.

 

Oct30th 1949.  "Lets talk itover"

By"IAN GRAY", "Sunday Graphic"

Mustthe boys go to Church, Yes or No.

 

Ifchildren are taught by their parents, and also given a fair amount of scriptureat school, that should be the seed for them to cultivate during their lives, asit was with me, I was taught my prayers on my mother knee, I also went toSunday school, and remembers quite well going to Church with my Father andMother, that was a lesson learnt by leadership, I was allowed to go to Chapelor the Salvation Army, later I went to Bible class, until I went away into thewilds several miles from a Church, I became a real shepherd, it is from thesheep that I have learnt my best lessons, as compared with human beings.  Seven days a week for many years; andmiles from a Church; but not from God. Today a Church Sermon is like water on a ducks back, to me.

 

Ican get much more happiness out of nature by watching everything that God hascreated on our behalf, and making the best use of it, I find so many of lifesneeds are free; the only time I hears from the Church is in want of some money.  I have met many people in our villagewho have never spoke to the Vicar, and they say that he passes them by withouteven glance, or a word.

 

Ivisited the Church just recently it was the poorest harvest thanks-givingservice that I have ever witnessed. Most of the people was between 45 and 70 years of age, there was a fewin the choir under 13, and about 4 young children with their parents.

 

Wherewas the others; some to the pictures. While the old folks, sat listening to the wireless.

 

Whileall this is going on; accidents keep happening; only yesterday we read of anaeroplane crashing and 47 lives lose, plane burnt out, after hitting amountain; some of them were after worldly fame: it reminds me of a vision I hadof how God can "dam" and blast! any part of the earth, some shall betaken, and the others left.

 

Nov2nd 49.  Washington Air linercrashes 55 lives lost, fighter plane collides and also crashes.

 

1-11-49Hanon Swaffer 70 years old we read, Swaff is a Spiritualist, it is said he hasa 'spirit medium' by the name of silver-birch, Swaff preaches socialism, andcriticises Christianity, yet he claims that Christ was a socialist, and Swaffintroduces Jesus Christ as an example. Christ is an example; but how many people are there living the way thatChrist taught.  Christianity hasbeen used for political propaganda ever since it has been written.

 

Swafferdiffers from myself; I have no spiritual "go between" God and myself,if I cannot get my information direct from the head, I don't need anybody elseswhere spiritual guidance is required.

 

 

 

Butthe teaching of Christ was the seed of my childhood days, and that seed hasproduced the knowledge of God the creator, and what he stands for -"Justice".  Peace; onlyon conditions, and justice to others, and that means you.  Swaffer says that he has doneeverything that is wrong, and is now enjoying the fruits of his old age.

 

Asfor myself I admit that I have broken the laws of the land quite a few times,but I have tried to abide by the laws of nature, and strictly to one or twolaws of the land.

 

Myviews on marriage is that it should not be taken at a church, unless the Churchcan attend to any misunderstandings that may arise after marriage, such asseparations that may lead to divorce. No two persons should be married anywhere under spiritual promises, andthen want a divorce, why not rely in the first, to human nature, or plainnature, because that is what it amounts to, and those who lives by nature,enjoys life better than those who is tied down all their lives with man madelaws.  Except of those who isproperly matched, then it wouldn't matter if they were married or not, theywould be as happy as birds, but my experience with marriage is that it is a"tie".  If its aspiritual 'tie' then its one long life of misery, if the two are not suited.

 

(Illness)

 

Illnessis one of the things that is brought about by unhappy marriages, and the worstof all is worry that brings along mental strain, mental strain brings almostevery other complaint and disease, hence the suffering; don't blame God, mostof your ills are your own faults, for instance; what can a child be like afterbirth, if the mother has mental worries during its carriage.

 

Goddoes not stand for such suffering, man is the only animal who stands for anylaw, except nature.

 

Atthis very moment of writing I am watching over such a mental case, it has beencoming on for many years, and making the whole family feel the strain, then thetime comes when the brain cannot stand the strain any longer, the patient issuffering with nerves all over the body rheumatism and lumbago, neuritis andevery other nerve complaint there is, the doctor can give injection for certainthings, but for a nervous breakdown there is little that they can do, exceptsend them away and that is not always pleasant.  So I have my case at home, and am the shepherd watching andadministering with two wonderful assistants.  But don't run away with the ideal that is you run your lifenatures way that you can do as you like, for natures law's are stricter thanmanmade laws.  The punishments aresure, and just.

 

Swaffersaid he laughed at a sermon on the wireless; that struck me as funny because hesets up the example of Christ for his socialism, while the christians acclaimChrist as their leader.  The truthis, that neither party do Christ justice; "otherwise the world would be amuch better place".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iwas christened into the Church of E. I have kept a close watch on some of the actions of the leaders orbetter known to me as drovers, and I have found them wanting.  I have also been interested inSocialism and its works, I find very little to choose from, both are aftertheir own ends, both are lacking power, and strength to deal with culprits,Christ didn't have any government, or trade-union to back him up, or even tostand by him; I myself have experienced much the same, I have lived in tiedhouses, where I have had to be so careful, not even to frighten a pheasantleave alone have one, or to belong to a "union" I know, for I had thesack for helping to organise one, and being its first secretary, no one came tomy aid, or even came to see how I was fixed.  Unity is strength, so it is said, but I fail to see unityanywhere.  When the peoples stopplaying at Tug-of-war, so many each side, straining at whatever may be the job,and open your eyes to the fact, that, if one side comes round and pullstogether, it will be so easy, and there is nothing to stop progress.

 

Swaffersays he have watched the revolution from his house in London.

 

Ihave watched the same revolution from the countryside.  I can still see the mess we are in, andalthough I try to see the sunny side, I can only see trouble ahead, for why doI see trouble ahead?  Because I cansee the strings being pulled from behind the scenes, I don't need to go to thepictures, I can see enough of other peoples worries, and trouble from the"daily papers", beside what we hear on the wireless, it reminds me ofa fair ground, no sooner you knock down one of the "Aunt Sallies" upshe pops again in the same place, just by someone pulling the string.

 

Hereagain, I quote Swaffer and his Wife laughing at a service on the wireless.  I think Swaff will understand when Isay that I see nothing to laugh, and be merry about, because I can truly saythat it almost makes me cry, in fact I did burst out in "sobs" onceand I had a job to control myself, it was in a little "mission hall"my witness was so different from what is preached that I could not control myemotions, but then, perhaps, there was a reason for this is my covenant with myCreator.

 

Iasked God to see everything though my eyes, to hear everything through my ears,to speak every word through my lips as he thought, and to cry through my eyesall his tears.

 

Nov4th 1949 (Tory Party Politics)

 

Ihave by me, of this date a few comments spoken by a Conservativecandidate.  One method he envisagedto implement this policy was the cutting of whole Ministries.

 

Irather like that one; because I remember the Tories setting up the first Ministryof Agriculture, when agriculture was in a terrible state, brought about by Toryrule.

 

LordBledisloe made a speech in the House of Lords, farmers must work out their ownsalvation by turning more land down to grass.  Others were advocating growing wheat abroad, where it couldbe grown cheaper.

 

Don'tforget Mr Tory, as a Naturalist I have you well weighed up, I have had enoughof your tied houses and Tariffs, and (Wars).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Allthe one for that I am watching the other parties moves, some are in the rightway; but the difference between the two is that we see, and hear what theSocialist is spending on incomes through state control, while the Tories wasusing state money as civil enterprise to keep their own families and estatesout of the profits instead of paying the working class their fair share.

 

 

Idon't forget, I've been through the mill, I know how hard the stones pinches,its not long ago that I asked for a job on a farm, at hoeing or anything whereI should get what I earned, and no more, I didn't even want a weekly wage untilI proved myself capable of earning it. The first question I was asked was about politics, and next was, did Ihave a pension.  So you see the oldtrick is not dead.

 

AsI have already said, that nothing can be done to the satisfaction of any nationuntil you stop tug-of-war.

 

PersonallyI belong to no party of any description, I see the folly of strikes; unions areoften an example of tug-of-war teams at their best.

 

Whenwill they have wisdom enough, to see their follies.  They will soon be like the Christian-party, they have lostmost of their followers, the young have been drawn away, by pleasure of a sort,which often leads to damnation, and helps to bring about suffering.

 

Thepeoples of this work is drifting towards a terrible precipice. 

 

Theyare like a badly managed flock of sheep, with a drover behind.  They are going round and round with noview, because they are not able to see, where they are going, and they havelost their leader.  The onlyleader, worthy of the name was Christ who was murdered, so that the flock couldbe frightened and used for selfish peoples advantages.  But the day of reckoning is drawingmuch nearer.

 

Youhave seen two dreadful wars brought about by the selfishness of man, you have seenpart of the prophecies fulfilled, which was bad enough, but it has left theworld in a terrible state from which only sensibility can save us.  What a difference it would have been ifwe had, had a peacemaker as a leader between the two wars as good as Mr WinstonChurchill was as a war-leader.  Atthe present time we have a government who is trying to organise

 

aworld governing body, just as Christ would have it, when he comes one greatfriendly body including the Churches, a combination of Churches pulling all oneway; there is nothing as could stop progress providing God is acclaimed thehead.  Woe; unto all the Churcheswho remains split; and woe; unto all governments and nations who remains split,and woe: unto every living soul who remains outside, for God has promised todamn, and blast! certain sections of the earth, and air, so that nothing canpass, or live.  This I had revealedto me in a vision, and I am warning you, before its too late.

Sunday20th November, "Foggy"

 

WhenI drew back the curtains this morning a fog hung over the fields, and I couldsee but a short distance across the aerodrome, I thought how peaceful and quietit all seemed.

 

Whata pity there hadn't been a fog last Friday, instead of that glorious sunshine,while our work-mates was in line of the aeroplanes taking off and landing, weshould still have had him with us today; but as it is, a plane crashed in theroad where the men were at work, and was the cause of at least one death andthree more injured.

 

Livingclose to this aerodrome is like a hell on earth when the planes keep takingoff, and landing all day, and often at night until 11 or 12 o'clock.  For people who are suffering fromnerves and many who have been working on night-shifts, it is a nuisance.

 

Whatare we fighting for, by the Rev W H Elliott, Sunday Graphic Nov 20th 49

 

Ifthis fair land of ours were invaded we should fight to the last man, and thelast ditch to preserve an unpolluted England.

 

Tokeep out of our homes those dirty and degrading boots that in an hour wouldmake a mockery of all that we have loved.

 

Thatcomes from a "Church Parson". I wouldn't expect a man, who thinks he is a man of God to preach to aworldly people in such a manner, any such teaching is hypocrisy no matter fromwhat religion it comes from.

 

Ifit is wrong for others to invade us how about us invading other peoples homes;it is all wrong.

 

Youwould say, because we must teach them the ways of God; but we in this countryneeds teaching Gods way as much an the wildest tribes.  England for example was set with awonderful barrier around it for its safety; who! except man has made it unsafe?

 

Lookat page 6, City of tears and think; "For Gods sake, look for light".

 

Europeis one great expanse of country and God put no barriers there, therefore it wasmeant that it should be one great family of people living in peace.

 

Ifyou don't wish to be destroyed you must think along these lines.  You have been misguided far too long.

 

Ifthe Churches does not become one; they are useless, I would not stand in theirplace for judgment; "no not I".


 

 

Areyou a Christian on Wheels?

Thisquestion was by the Rev W H Elliott

 

PersonallyI am not; I am a conscious naturalist. I believe in nature; the Creator of Life; and everything that belongs tonature.

 

WhenI was young I was taught Christianity, I was taught to worship Christ Jesus,but as I journeyed along through life I was taught that there was somethingwrong about the worship of Christ, as I sat and listened to so much worship ofJesus, I became aware of a much greater power to be worshipped.

 

Christput me on the right road by his teaching, and God my Spiritual Father hastaught me, and given me light to see right, from wrong.

 

AsChrist worshipped the Father, Christ couldn't be the Father, so I worship Goddirect just as Christ did.

 

Iwas carried in arms to Church to be Christened, I walked to my Church to bemarried, God alone knows what will happen at my death.

 

Asfor coming to Church, I don't see anything worth coming for, for God is outsideof all buildings for anyone to find "if" they want Him, just as muchas going to Church, I like to worship God everyday, not just Sunday, my worshipis through nature something that I can see, hear, and flowers and trees thatsmell.

 

Thereason that I don't go to Church is because I don't like the class of service,the tunes are murdered, the tone is too dull, and I have a will of my own, youcan't make me have what I don't like.

 

27-11-49"A Dream"

 

Idreamt that I was amongst many groups of peoples, and as I looked I becameaware of the fact that I did not belong to any group, I was just one left out,and as all the seats were occupied, I sat down on my foot, as I had done manytimes before.  And I beheld astranger as he came to me, he pointed out the different groups; and as we twowere talking, and taking in the scenery there appeared before us a unmarriedmother, her head bowed down in shame with tears in her eyes, she representedthe group of unmarried mothers, I said, woman; for why are you so sad, shesaid, because I have borne a child, and I am not married, all these people aremy accusers and my life is unbearable; what can I do that God will forgive me,and the group of unmarried mothers? Woman; be not afraid of those accusers, for there is not even one amongthem who has the right to accuse anyone. Their sins are heavier than yours, you are one of Gods creatures, Godhas created all things according to nature, and there is no sin in doing whatnature provides for.  Trust youthen, in the laws of nature, fear you then to offend the "great-lawyer ofnature" God, and call upon his natural resources, get in communicationwith the one and only faithful friend and fear nobody, or anything else, takeyou this message to your group and tell them to journey on, nature will providea lead.  Trust in God; and tellyour friends that this message comes from the "Chief Shepherd".

 

 

 

 

 

Man,and Woman are the only creatures in Gods creation that are governed by the lawsof man; as the shepherd and the stranger talked, the stranger a man of about 33or so said; how then do I stand in the eyes of the peoples? for I too was bornin circumstances of similarity; my mother was found to be with child beforemarriage; I was born in the year "one", born in Bethlehem, a"oxens" shed was my birth-place, I grew up to be a naturalist, Ibelieved in the laws of nature, I lived with my Spiritual Father, and becauseof my spiritual activities I was done to death; there has been many people doneto death since then, for the same cause, who then are the accusers? 

 

Look!around and you can see them everywhere; when I saw you, sitting alone I knewyou; I knew you were not of them; I knew you were at a safe distance to beguarded as you have already been told, God our Heavenly Father can hide us evenin their midst; when I heard you speak to the woman; I knew you as the Shepherdyou are; I have watched you ever since you were a child.  I have seen you in many dangerousplaces.  You have been guarded inby unseen power, yet you were always aware of our Fathers presence and care; Ihave seen you suffer; I have seen your tears, I have heard your prayers, I haveobserved your faith, and I have seen your many good deeds to man and beast, youhave your reward, your prayers have been heard, because your unselfishness,your willingness to help others without cost; all these things are like thebrightest of stars in the eyes of God, and God is pleased with you; we heardyour "sobs", we heard your appeal to the priest to worship Goddirect, and stop worshipping me, we heard your remarks, that only a few wereinside the Church, while millions were outside, with no priest to guide them,we have watched the people leave the Church, we have seen them flocking to thepicture houses, and enjoying themselves at sports; but they don't get theenjoyment from any sport, as they should, because every sport has become agambling racket, and the real sport is lost.

 

Lord;now that you have revealed yourself to me, I know you to be the Jesus Christ,but what I wanted to know is why you didn't write your own messages, instead ofallowing others to write your life story, with no written messages to go by, Iknow that they could not write my life story without my written guide, I alsoknow that no one could write yours.

 

Shepherd,in my days, books was very few, only such people as priest and lawyers couldread or write.

 

Communicationwas by Messenger, carrying a verbal message, or by a Crier, or by preaching,although some of my messages have been faithfully written, there is a lotwritten that is misleading, because the scholars are far better educated today,and they will not be led by something they cannot understand; many have lostfaith and they are gone all mechanical minded, but you have kept faith despiteSatans organisation doing their worst, you carry on, working quietly, doinggood in your own natural way, the help you may required will come as you needit, keep low; but write the truth and I will guide your hand: Goodbye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"SafetyFirst"

 

Childrenof this world beware!

Ofthe traffic everywhere,

Atthe bends, and crossings too,

Dangerlies in wait for you.

 

Whenyou're coming home from school

Donot walk in threes and fours,

Hug!the verges; on your left,

Oruse a path, and do your best.

 

Watchthe roadman, as you pass,

Sidingthe roads, and trimming the grass,

He'sworking in danger, from morn till night

Hehugs the "left verge" of the road, not the right.

 

Ifeveryone walked on the left of the road

Andnobody walked on the right,

Youwould not meet, "the cyclist folks"

Andforce them out into danger.

 

Whenyou are walking, on the right of the road

Andmeeting whatever you will -

Someoneis being forced into the road

Thatsomeone, perchance; may be killed.

 

Butwhen you are walking on the left of the road

Andsomeone is coming behind,

Thatsomeone slows down -

Untilthe road is quite clear

Andpasses you then, quite alright.

 

Sowhen you are meeting a on-coming car

Thatcar is forced into the road

Sojust use commonsense, and go the same way

Andkeep close to the verge - all the way.

 

Sowhen you are crossing the road.

Putout your hand, left, or right;

Thatindicates, "just what you are going to do",

Andyou'll find that you'll be alright.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OnWednesday 14.12.49 I witnessed a taxi crash into a deep ditch, it was caused bya swerve to the right so as to avoid hitting a woman, who was walking by theside of a three-wheeled tricycle that a little boy was riding, the womanappeared to turn as the taxi was about to pass, so he swerved to miss thewoman.

 

Neitherthe driver or me could see a van approaching around a bend, because of a highhedge on our right, so by swerving to miss the woman, the taxi had to swerveagain to the left to avoid the oncoming van, and by doing so he hit the"grass verge" and went into the deep ditch.  "No doubt the high hedge was the cause".

 

Thisis what one often sees on the road.

 

Howeverthese drivers, avoids accidents I don't know, because each pram is meeting theoncoming traffic, and there is no chance to pull in behind the prams, but ifthose prams were going, instead of coming, the traffic could keep in behinduntil the road was safe to pass, is it any wonder then, if a cyclist hits a caror lorry through being forced into the centre of the road by oncomingpedestrians.

 

Thisdiagram shows quite plain what is wrong.

 

Thebottom sketch shows what would happen if all keep to the left of the road.

 

Christmas1949

 

Asit was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be; what a lie?  And where do we hear it preached?  From the Churches.

 

Manis the only animal on this earth who has been trying to alter it, to suithimself, ever since they were educated, and a good mess man has made of it.

 

Itdoesn't need me to contradict those top two lines, St Peter has done thatalready in the second Epistle the 3 chap and the 10th verse, Heaven and Earthshall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt away withfervent heat, the earth and all its works shall be burnt.

 

Whyshould those two statements contradict each other?  One is a prophecy, the other, World without end, is acontradiction.

 

Thisearth can be melted away at any time. But your time may be at any moment, Matthew 4 chap 12 verse.

 

Andwhen Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison he departed into Galilee.

 

Whythen did Jesus leave John in prison? Matthew 11 chap 2 v.

 

Thereis nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not beknown.

 

Andthe 34 verse 11 chap Matthew.

 

"Icame not to send peace on earth, but a sword".  That differs from "Peace on Earth and goodwill tomen".

 

 

Matthew15th 19 verse, for out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts, murders, thieves,false-witness and blasphemies.

 

"Outof the heart" mind you, just as if the heart is responsible for suchthings Christ would have use the word Soul, the heart has nothing to do withwords.

 

Thisis boxing-day 1949.  Christmas hasbeen uneventful, since I have no sheep to attend to now; I have been sitting bya human patient for three days and nights, a case of amnesia, associated withmuscular-rheumatism, quite a trying case, the doctor can't do much, so heleaves the patient safely in our hands at home.  One day the doctor called me Professor B, the next time itwas Dr B but what would most people be called today, quacks.  This is accurately what those disciplesin the Bible days, would be called today; as it was there were no Professionaldoctors in those days, anybody, and everybody used herbs, and those who studiedherbs in those days was liable to bring about a cure.  As I have done after medical treatment have failed.  In those days it was noticeable,because the population was small, and everybody knew everybody in the smallvillages.  Today one has to keepquiet if he does anyone a kindness by curing them, or we may find ourselves introuble if one case went wrong, even it is was the patients own fault.

 

Ihave just massaged the patient using my own treatment as I use on myself, thepatient is comfortable asleep now. Another case I have had on hand is a female with bad hands and arms,that has been treated for by doctors for a couple of years, now they look andfeel perfect.  The same thinghappened to a man, after three years treatment and suffering with his feet, tendays treatment by the then shepherd had him walking on his feet again, and thepain gone.  Many items like thishas been happening during my life, but it is kept quiet.  This patient I am watching now has beenunder at least five different doctors this last 16 years, and this is what hasbecome of it.

 

Whatis the cause of this trouble? Amnesia is brought about by nerve-trouble or shock, such as worryingabout bombing, or the loss of some dear loved one, or worrying about a husbandor wife carrying on with someone else, but the worst of all is as in this case;imagination but I think I am winning, I have much more of the patients confidencenow.  I do not put too muchconfidence in doctors, they often carry on a treatment too long, while thepatient is getting gradually worse, as in this case.  The professors studies guinea-pigs and rats in confinement,I have studied animals in their natural places.

 

Suchas a sheep that was very ill, in a confined "lambing fold", shewouldn't eat anything in the way of good food of many assortments, but myinstincts shown me what she would be likely to eat if she was able to roam thehedge, then I got her some ivy which she ate straight away, and in less than anhour she was eating ordinary food. On another occasion a brood-mare was very ill, she had two Vets puzzledbut the shepherd said let her out into the paddock she is missing something andshe ate a mole heap of soil, and she began to improve.

 

Onanother occasion eleven sheep that was blind cured themselves when a change ofdiet was forthcoming.

 

Asfor my own eyes, I soak them in a eye bath for 5 minutes, then the other, andrepeats it for twenty minutes, this may be needed twice or trice a week at thestart, but it can dwindle to once a month or longer, I use"Elder-leaves" boiled for a few minutes, then strained throughmuslin, and bottled ready for use, dilute it with half water making it half andhalf - it will smart just a little for only a few minutes.  I give mine a good rubbing each time Itake them out of the bath.

 

 

Dec29 - 49 Human Guinea Pig

 

Onthe night of the 28th-29th my patient was very restless and drowsy, I wantedher to go to sleep without a tablet, but she asked for it, so I give her one,but although I was doubtful of what these tablets was doing, as regards to theafter effects; there was no better way of finding out, than taking a tabletmyself.  That was at ten o'clock,at eleven I was still awake, 12 o'clock came, one then two o'clock I sit in thearmchair by the gas fire and smoked a fag.  I did not get any sound sleep all night, but I did seem todoze off towards morning, then it was, that I began to find out the effects ofthose tablets; my limbs ached, everywhere, those tablets had aroused therheumatism and started every nerve on edge, my knees was weak beside paining,also hips, thighs, shoulders, back, neck and arms and feet.  My patient seemed to sleep, but it wasnot sleep, but more like being in a "trance".  She keep saying how strange the placewas, and, oh! how beautiful, the doctor seemed to think

shehad, had no real sleep during her illness but lying there only semi conscious,and as I said often in a kind of trance in another world, it was all sobeautiful.  But not for me; it was

rathertrying at times, but the experience I got was worth all long nights ofwatching, at times she seemed so ill, and would say where can I go; what can Ido, I want to die; just lie down and go to sleep dear you will not die; yourtime is not yet; go to sleep; and I will call to my Father to send some of hisHoly Angels to watch over you, and keep you safe.  It wasn't long before she said, the Angels are here, andthey are so lovely, she said you come with me to this lovely place; I said; itsnot so easy, darling.  Jesus is agreat friend of some, but its not so easy to get into heaven, so if you loveGod, you must not think of dying for him, but be prepared to live for him, to makeeveryone feel happy, and be happy too; because there is no one allowed into myFathers kingdom who is miserable or grumpy, no mischievous people are allowedto enter into the Holy City, no not one. But this is all so beautiful dear, she said, yes darling it may bebeautiful, and it is shown to you for your benefit, and surely it is worthliving for, there are many ways that we can improve ourself before we can everthink of entering such a lovely place. Oh but Alf how was it that the Angels came so quickly when"you" prayed, I had prayed, and prayed.  I know you had prayers dear, and when she said Oh Lord helpme, I answered, all right dear; she said you are not the Lord, I said no dearbut the Lord have given me to you to help you, and love you as he would, andnurse you back to health, as He would, for there is a work to be finished, andI need you until that work is finished. So make up your mind that you are going to get well and work for Jesus,"for there are many called but few are chosen".  But Jesus said "come unto me, allthat is weary, and I will give you rest".  Yes dear; but that is not all that Jesus said.  Children shall rise up against theirparents, and again, he said, in those days there shall be affection such as wasnot from the beginning:

 

Andwhat I think is very important and contradicts much teaching, is Jesus said,why callest thou me good there is none good but God.


 

 

RedSky in the morning, Shepherds warning

 

Ifthe sun comes up in the morning

Witha "dark" and glowing red

Theshepherds eyes, they view the skies

Tosee which way it fled.

Forif it travels to the west,

Asfar as the eye can see

Theday will be fine, and bright and fair,

Thelambs will skip with glee;

 

Ifthe sun comes up in the morning

Witha bright, and sickly white

Youcan trust yourself to nature

Itwill rain before the night.

 

Whenthe sun comes up in the morning

Andthe red goes back in the east

Itwill always rain quite early

Assure, as sure can be.

 

Whenthe mist is on the hill,

Therain comes down in drills,

Whenthe mist is in the Valley,

Thesun shines on the hills.

 

RedSky at night, Shepherds delight

 

Whenthe sun goes down - in the west at night,

Adark-red crimson ball,

Theshepherds eyes, view the skies

Asthe evening shadows fall.

 

Forthere in the sky, his watchful eye

Hassighted long wavy streaks,

Heknows that the wind is on its way

Perchancemay be a gale.

 

Andwhen the sky is over-cast

Witha misty kind of grey,

Amisty rain may drift along

Thefirst part of the day.

 


 

 

(1)

 

Upon the hill-side, soft breezes blow,

Shepherdsare singing their songs sweet and low.

Downin the valley where the spring waters flow

Thelambs they are skipping as they run to and fro.

 

(2)

 

Thesweet smell of pinewood

Comesdown with the rain

Andmakes the whole valley like Heaven again.

 

(3)

 

Theswallows are flying

Throughthe air, swift and low

Theyfollow the stream

Asthey speed to and fro.

 

(4)

 

Ablackbird is singing

Thereperched on a rail

Whilethe Thrush is enjoying

Alovely large snail.

 

(5)

 

Primroses,and daffodils

Areout in full bloom

Whata picture to see

Thefirst thing in the morn;

 

(6)

 

Andto smell the sweet fragrance

AsI pass along by

Andto hear the first Cuckoo

Asif his throat's dry.

 

(7)

 

Buta week or so later

Whenhe's sucked lots of eggs

Hisvoice is much clearer

Andfree from all dregs.

 

 

 

 

 

(8)

 

Thenone quiet evening

Whenstrolling alone

Iseen a little nightingale

Andlistened to its song.

 

(9)

 

Andthere as the night fell

Hesang his sweet tune

Ileft him still singing

AsI made tracks for home.

 

(10)

 

Andthere a white owl

Waswaiting to greet me

Callingout O! O! O! OO!!

Ashe sit on a tree.

 

(11)

 

Andwhen after supper

Iwent off to bed,

Tohear some young owls

Inthe house overhead.

 

(12)

 

Betweenscreeching, and hissing

Whilefeeding their young

Oftenkept me awake

Inthe night, far too long.

 

(13)

 

Againin the morning

Withmy dog by my side

Istroll through the valley,

Andup the hillside.

 

(14)

 

But,while minding sheep

Ona lovely spring day

Istill picture that valley

Throughits far, far away.

 

 

 

 

(15)

 

Ican still hear the birds

Ican still smell the pines,

Ican see the sweet flowers

Andthe stream how it winds.

 

(16)

 

Sothis is life's nature,

Nopaint, or cosmetics,

Nocouncils, or Chambers,

Butsweet hills, and valleys.

 


 

 

"TheChurch"

 

Isthere any man on Earth,

Whois fit to claim; that Church

Inits present state, and ways

Couldexpect our "Fathers Praise".

 

When,it all, is said, and done,

Ofthe "millions" on the "run",

Knowing"not", which "way" to "go",

Or;who! is, friends; or, who! is foe.

 

Wehave heard it said before,

Thatthe "Wolves" are at the door;

Ihave "seen", it; I have "cried",

God"alone" has been my "guide".

 

Beware!of "goats" that wear black coats,

Theiractions "stink" aloud;

Theyhave "split" the one foundation

Toget themselves a pound.

 

Ifreligion was really true,

Onereligion, would be enough for you;

Ifin Heaven its state controlled,

Letus on earth, beware! "behold".

 

TheChurches, resemble, a football match,

Witheleven men on each side;

Andwhen one tries, to get the "goal"

Thereferee blows; "off-side".

 

You'vecalled, upon; "Saint Peter",

To"bluff" the "folks" a "lot";

Justfor your "wicked", selfish ends,

That"bluffings", got to stop!

 

Hepromised you a Shepherd "Chief"

Tolight the way for you;

With"truth" the light of glory,

That"nothing" can "dim" through.

 


 

 

Short!!and Sweet

 

April16th 1958, Time 1-45 a.m.

 

Whata vision; with tears of joy and a thrill of happiness that went through mywhole body, I awoke from a dream, and I told my wife, I have just had a mostlovely and remarkable dream.

 

Ihave seen God.

 

Butoh! what a picture of might and power, with oh so much loveliness that I cannotdescribe, but I shall never want to forget.

 

Foras God stood looking at me, I told my worst enemy to turn himself and look, Isaid; that is my friend.  The enemyfaded away like ice would when the powerful sun shine upon it.

 

Oh!what power and loveliness to remember the rest of my life.

 

IfChrist was on Earth, today

 

Ioften wonder how many people would notice him if they met him disguised as aworkman.

 

SomehowI think that Christ is on earth, or can it be the shepherd spoken of by StPeter in the fifth chapter and the fourth verse of the first epistle.

 

SometimesI wonder if it is the spirit of God in man.  I have known him as a lad, I have known him as a shepherd, Ihave known him as a navvy, and as a builders labourer, and quite a few otheroccupations including a roadman, it has always stuck me that this is a man outof the ordinary, someone who is always thinking of others, someone who will goout of his way to help others and then leave without being rewarded, thissomeone has brought about many cures after the hospitals and doctors havefailed, such cases as dropsy, strokes, very bad cases of running eczema, ulcersand stomach troubles, besides telling how to cure weak and painful eyes I haveknown him to keep himself fit by what he calls Gods own gifts the herbs, likethe fresh air; and the sun, the water we drink, just a few of Gods gifts.

 

Ihave known him do many jobs for the weak and aged, and cripples, but neverreceive any pay.  He said that Godwould pay him.

 


 

 

Sep23rd 1951 (Sunday Pictorial)

(Wouldyou sell your Soul for £5?)

 

Howmany people who talk such trash realise that if they could sell their soul, themoment they did so, their body would not be in a position to receive thereward, the soul is the life, and immediately the living soul leaves theearthly body it is dead, it cannot see, or hear, or move any more, Doctors cannotrestore the life, Priests cannot save it.

 

Earthis the place to prepare, it matters not to God whether the body is burned orburied, the soul is what matters, and that we have no control over after death,but God has given us the chance to make good use of it during our life time; itdepends entirely how we use it while it is associated with our body, while weare alive on earth, as I see life, I prefer to live by the laws of nature,which is the laws of God.  I failto see how any man can abide by the laws of man, the laws laid down by the lawcourts of the land in which one lives, because Gods natural laws just don'tcorrespond with the Church laws, the state laws, and the bye-laws.

 

Birdsand beast give us the best answer to natures laws.  Nature provides them with examples of purity that it woulddo man good to examine and copy.

 

Neverdo we see birds crossed in their wild state, only do they cross when man crossthem.  Animals are the same, anddon't fool yourself that you are cleverer than the birds and beast I havewitnessed some to be much cleverer than I.
