it. Suppose I consulted others concerning the message the Lord
would have me give to the people; the door might be closed so that
the light might not reach the ones to whom God had send it. When
Jesus rode into Jerusalem, “the whole multitude of the disciples
began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty
works that they had seen; saying, Blessed be the King that cometh
in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto Him,
Master, rebuke Thy disciples. And He answered and said unto them,
I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would
immediately cry out.”—

My brethren, in His great mercy and love God has given you
great light, and Christ says to you, “Freely ye have received, freely
give.” Let the light bestowed on you shine forth to those in darkness.
Let us rejoice and be glad that Christ has not only given us His
word, but has given us also the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
knowledge of God, and that in His strength we may be more than
conquerors. Christ is saying: “Come unto Me. To Me belong right
counsel and sound judgment. I have understanding and strength for
you.” By faith we must rest in Christ, remembering the words of one
who was inspired of God to write, “Thy gentleness hath made me
great.” Ask God to give you much of the oil of His grace. Carefully
consider every word, whether it be written or spoken.—
