UC-NRLF $B 27M 23fl tiesttsi aiirigt BREAD from HEAVEN A Spiritual Diet of the Sayings OF JESUS CHRIST COMPILED BY ANNIE RIX MILITZ The Master Mind Publishing Company 618 south spring street LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA , . Copyrighted \ I by THE MASTER MIND PUBLISHING CO •'• ' ■ 1920 Foreword In these days of returning to the direct teaching of Jesus Christ, there is an increasing demand for his sayings to stand forth dis- tinctly from his history as presented in the Four Gospels. The Red Letter Testament was one of the first responses to this demand. Other works like The Great Discourse have sought to supply this need. This volume aims to give all the sayings of Jesus Christ in a form that can be a daily study, a spiritual diet for the soul-hunger of the thousands who long to be like Jesus Christ in character, works and attainment. We become like that which we study, and our minds "let this mind be in us which was also in Christ Jesus" by earnest and faithful study of, and meditation upon, the words which sprung from the mind of the Master. Arranged to be a daily study for five years under more than two hundred and fifty subjects, this compilation will be a means of most devoted application, and those who will faithfully eat and drink these sayings, will find their progress in the Christ Way greatly enhanced, and their daily living full of spiritual sweetness, strength and- satisfaction. Other uses will be found for the book such as reciting, as ''Grace before meals," the red-letter saying of the week at the top of the page at breakfast, and the red-letter saying at the foot at the even- ing meal. Those who desire material for discourses, writings and meditations will find the subject arrangement especially helpful. For readings from the pulpit, also for responsive readings for minister and congregation, this little volume may prove a happy aid. But more than all else, this is the deeply heartfelt, humble desire of the compiler, that this daily companion shall contribute to the enthusiastic and whole-hearted return of . every Christian to the primitive doctrines and practice of our Leader, Jesus Christ, the one sure Guide into the Life of endless Happiness and Peace.

A., June, 1920. 463387 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2007 with funding from IVIicrosoft Corporation http://www.archive.org/details/breadfromheavensOOmilirich Our Spiritual Diet HE soul of man must be fed as well as his body, and the food of the soul consists of the thoughts and feelings that belong to the mind and heart of God. These are embodied in the words of spiritual masters, whose sayings have ever been the spiritual diet of those who have de- sired to advance spiritually. But the wisest Master of all left us a complete dietary of Words to eat and drink, that are all-sufficient for us to make the same attainment that he did. Though Jesus Christ spoke thousands of words that are not recorded, yet by inspirational memory (John 14:26) his disciples remembered just those words that supply the complete means for nourishing the true in us and purging us of the false — just enough words and no more. Other masters have given much teaching, and their followers have culled from their words what they pleased, often refusing the bitter words, not knowing their place in the economy of their spiritual development. But this Master of masters provided against such unwise and childish discrimination by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that our blessed heritage from him consists of a choice of his sayings, commandments, doctrines and parables, as shall form the perfect dietary to regenerate our whole nature and prepare us a body fit for the Christ demonstration of immortal life here upon the earth. For the beautiful utterances that fill us with love and peace, comfort and strength — faith, purity, wisdom, patience, joy, illumina- tion, all the virtues of heaven and beauties of the Christ character, we need no special urge in accepting, studying, assimilating and incorporating to the very best of our ability. But there are the strong denunciations, the flaming "woes," the rebukes, the plain exposures of the deceitful pretender — what about these? These are most essential to cleanse us of self-righteousness,, to rouse us from the smugness of the world-life, to warn us before the carnal deceptions, subtleties and other errors that have stumbled the feet of so many aspirants who have fallen short of the great attainment. Let us swallow ihem with the same grace with which we have received the gracious words. They may be bitter to our taste but they will prove tonics to our enervated spiritual energies. "Drink ye all of it." Eat and drink every word and those that seem most unwelcome, meditate long upon. Also sayings that seem only words, — perhaps good words that have become a dry food because hackneyed, difficult to receive as renewing and helpfui although they are good, because associated with human views and interpretations that are not true. Under every saying of Jesus Christ lie deep, mystic meanings that the faithful shall receive. All the secrets of the universe are enfolded in those words. When the Master declares that he has given us all the words that God gave him, and that he has withheld nothing, he virtually declares everything that is necessary for us to know is in these sayings which are his legacy, his "testament," to us. This is the real Passover that we are to eat, the true Com- munion. As the Israelites ate the lamb, all of it, and, by that act under the guidance of those who knew what this obedience meant, were defended from the scourge of death that passed over them without harm yet took its deadly toll from every Egyptian family, so we who will eat this Lamb of God will be saved from death and all that leads to it — sinning, sicknesses, accidents, famines and the ravages of the elements, of wars, wild beasts and other world- dangers. We eat the flesh of Jesus Christ by eating his Words which are one with the Substance (Spirit) of his flesh. We drink his blood ("the blood is the life") by drinking his Words which "are Life to all that find them and health to all their flesh." When mystically referring to his flesh and blood as the "Bread from heaven" which they were to eat, Jesus saw how his hearers were misunderstanding him, and he hastened to explain "It is the Spirit that gives life ("quickeneth") the flesh profiteth nothing; the Words that I speak unto you they are Spirit and they are Life," or my Words are my flesh and my blood, eat and drink them. Make my Words, flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood. What we eat we identify ourselves with, a power and substance tp upbuild or to tear down according to the way we appropriate what we receive. Man's body is the out picturing of his thoughts. Think the thoughts of Jesus Christ and you will show forth the body of Christ iv as it naw is, glorified and immortal. The body of regeneration is built by the thoughts and feelings of our Divine Self with which we make connection through the mind and heart of Jesus, expressed by his words. As the body of generation was built by bread from earth so the new body of regeneration is built by Bread from Heaven. Many students of Truth are candidates for the new birth ; some know they have been reborn; all feel they are but babes in Truth. When a babe is given food it does not know why, or what will be the result, or how the result is achieved. So it is with our young consciousness of Truth. As aspirants to go all the Way with Christ, to live the true life, exercise divine powers, have the new senses and enter into all the joys of heaven while yet on the earth, we eat the Words of Jesus Christ. Some of them are constructive and they strengthen and comfort us. But there are others that are drastic and purgative, and we eat these words with wonderment, not know- ing they are among the most essential in rousing our human nature from its deadness and self-complacency ; also to cleanse our old nature from its false accretions of pride, selfishness and greed. Let us learn to apply all Jesus' Words to ourselves, to one and all of these three: (1) the unregenerate or false part, (2) to the one in us that aspires to spirituality, (3) or to the One who is, and always has been, perfect, pure and holy.

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matt. 5:18 The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat; all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do. Matt. 23 :2, 3 What is written in the law ? how readest thou ? Thou hast answered right : this do, and thou shalt live.

The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here ! or, lo there ! for behold, the king- dom of God is within you. Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for of such is the kingdom of God. 1 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

Matt. 10:40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 10 John 14:9 He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. 11 He had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, and had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Matt. 13 :47, 48 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind. Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

MOSES* COMMANDMENTS DEC. Mark 10:3,19 What did Moses command you? Thou knowest the com- mandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and thy mother. 3 John 5:46,47 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me : for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words ? 4 John 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law ? Why go ye about to kill me ? 5 6 Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets ; let them hear them. Luke 16:31 And he said unto him. If they hear not Moses and the pro- phets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. 7 Luke 17:10 When ye shall have done all those things which are com- manded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. 8 John 6:32,33 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven .... For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world. 9 A roll of a book was therein; moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll and go speak unto the house of Israel.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will Hken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon sand; And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and it fell : and great was the fall of it.

Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become ab Httle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. Luke 14:34, 35 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill : but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 29 Luke 13 :20, 21 Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

If ye were blind, ye should have no sin ; but now ye say, We see ; therefore your sin remaineth. John 9:39,41 3 4 5 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. John 8:34 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin. John 15:24 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. Take, eat: this is my body.

John 20:23 Mark 14:22, 24. 6 And when he [the comforter] is come, he will reprove [convince] the world of sin : of sin, because they believe not on me. John 16:8,9 7 Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. John 19:11 8 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me. And he was reckoned among the trans- gressors.

Matt. 6:3 Matt 9:30 But when thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. See that no man know it. 11 12 Matt. 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret : and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest: neither anything hid that shall not be known and come abroad. 13 Luke 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light ; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 14 John 18:20 I spake openly to the world ; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort, and in secret have I said nothing. 15 This is the Bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof and not die. —John 6:50. 67 SECOND YEAR BREAD from Let these sayings sink down into your ears. ^Luke 9:44' APR.

Luke 12:9 18 19 20 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 10:32 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 10:33 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomor- row, and the third dav I shall be perfected. If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine : and ye say. He hath a devil. i have not a devil ; but I honor my Father, and ye do dishonor me. Why do ye not understand my speech ? even because ye can- not hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do Have not T chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil ?

John 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow : but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. Mark 13:7 John 6:43 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled. Murmur not among yourselves. John 16 :6, 20 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. But your sorrow shall be turned into joy. Matt. 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 12 13 Matt. 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

John 10:1 15 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. John 10:2 16 I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9 17 18 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him. 1 John 6:44 No man cometh unto the Father but by me. John 14:6 19 20 Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. John 6:65 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

Matt. 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me : and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 18 :29. 30 Verily I say unto you. There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the king- dom of God's sake, who shall not receive manifold more in this present time. Mark 7:10 For Moses said. Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death. Mark 7 :12, 13 John 19:26, 27 And ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother; making the word of God of none effect through your tradition. . . . Woman, behold thy son ! . . . . Behold thy mother! The Bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 17:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

Luke 16:8 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. Mark 4:19 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life. Doth this offend you?

Do good to them that hate you .... that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Mark 10:18 Why callest thou me good ? there is none good but one, that is, God. Luke 15:20, 22 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran and. fell on his neck, and kissed him. But the father said to his servants. Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. Luke 15:23. 24 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it ; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife : and they twain shall be one flesh ? Matt. 19:4,5 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matt. 19:6 5 6 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matt. 5:32 Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, com- mitteth adultery against her.

ENTERING THE KINGDOM OCT.

Whosoever shall not receive the king- dom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. 25 Matt. 5:20 John 14:26 16:10 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven. The Comforter . . . shall teach you ... of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 26 27 Matt. 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? 24 Luke 7:9 I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 25 And all the people went their way to eat and to drink, and to tend portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them. -ATrA. 8:12. 99 SECOND YEAR BREAD from My words abide in you. ^ohn 15:7.

Luke 8:6,13 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. They on the rock are they which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

Luke 17:6 If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea ; and it should obey you. 10 Matt. 21:21 Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea ; it shall be done. 11 12 13 14 15 Matt. 17:20 Because of your unbelief : for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain. Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall re- move ; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt. 8:10 Luke 7:50 Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. Thy faith hath saved thee. Go in peace. John 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you : for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. John 8:24 ■ I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins : for if ye believe not that I am he,, ye shall die in your sins. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned : but he that be- lieveth not is condemned already, because he hath not be- lieved in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 16 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them. Peace be unto you. —Luke 24:35, 36. 141 THIRD YEAR BREAD from I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me. —John 17:8. SEPT. HEART 17 18 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil ; for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:45 Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mark 7:6 19 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly and is cast out into the draught ? Matt. 15:17 20 21 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? Mark 7:19 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart ; and they defile the man. Matt. 15:18 22 23 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulter- ies, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Matt. 15:19 Mark 7:23 These are the things which defile a man : but to eat with un- washen hands defileth not a man. Matt. 15:20 With desire I have desired to eat this passover vdth you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. —Luke 22:15, 16. 142 HEAVEN THIRD YEAR Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? —John 6:5. THE NEW DOCTRINE sept. John 7:16,17 My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 25 26 Matt. 9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it ug^ taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Matt. 9:17 Nefther do men put new wine into old bottles : else the bot- tles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish : but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are pre- served. Matt. 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier mat- ters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith : these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 27 28 29 John 8:31 If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed ; John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true ; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. Matt. 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets : I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. 30 Take heed what ye hear; with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. —Mark 4:24. 143 THIRD YEAR BREAD from I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat. —Matt. 25:35 OCT. THE MORTAL SELF 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Ye are from beneath; I am from above; ye are of this world ; I am not of this world. John 8:23 If God were your Father, ye would love me : for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. John 8:42 I can of mine own self do nothing; as I hear, I judge ;*and my judgment is just ; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. John 5:30 I speak that which I have seen with my Father ; and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. John 8:38 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God ; this did not Abraham. John 8:40 If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. John 8:39,4 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you Yet ye have not known him ; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you ; but I know him and keep his saying. John 5:42 John 8:55 How many loaves have ye? O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up ? —Matt. 15:34, Matt. 16:8, 9, 144 HEAVEN THIRD YEAR Blessed are they that hear the Word of God, and keep it. —Luke 11:28. THE JUDGMENT OF IGNORANCE OCT. John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name' sake, because they know not him that sent me. John 15:25 But this Cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause 10 John 16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 11 John 18:23 If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil; but if well, why smitest thou me ? 12 Matt. 15:16 Mark 7:34 Matt. 11:15 Are ye also yet without understanding? Ephaphatha. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 13 Matt 13;12| For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shal have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 14 A certain man made a great supper and bade msoiy: and sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. —Luke 14' i^, 17- 145 THIRD YEAR BREAD from And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them. —Luke 22:19. OCT. LITTLE ONES 15 16 17 18 Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for of such is the kingdom of God. Luke 18:16 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. Mark 9:42 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shaD seek me : and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye can not come ; so now I say to you. John 13:33 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days ! 1 Mark 13:17 19 20 21 It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to dogs. Matt. 15:26 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent anto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not ! Matt. 23:37 And behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are fii st which shall be last. Luke 13:30 His disciples came to him saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. —Matt. 14:15, i(>. 146 HEAVEN THIRD YEAR This is my body, which is given for you. —Luke 22:19 ANIMALS OCT Matt. John 10:4 Go ye into the village over against you ; in the which at your enter- ing ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him : for they know his voice. Matt. 10:29 Luke 10:19 Luke 9:58 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing ? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Ye blind guides which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy ; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. In the beginning was the Word All things were made by it, and without it was not anything made that was made. — John III, 3.

Matt. 6:19 30 31 NOV. 1 2 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. John 10:8 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer ; but ye have made it a den of thieves. ' Matt. 21:13 Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves ? Luke 22:52 3 Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me ? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold upon me. Matt. 26:55 4 Vertly I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. Luke 23 :43 Iti the beginning was the Word in it was life and the life was the light of men. —John i:i, 4.

Matt. 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. 5 Matt. 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 6 Matt. 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things : and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 7 Luke 12:33 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 8 Luke 18:22 Yet lackest thou one thing : Sell all that thou hast, and dis- tribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in hea- ven : and come, follow me. 9 Mark 12:43 Verily I say unto you. That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury. 10 Mark 12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. 11 He cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick. —Matt. 8:i6.

Luke 24:41 It IS written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matt. 4:4 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink. Matt 25:42 Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. John 21:10 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body what ye shall put on. Is not the Hfe more than meat, and the body than raiment ? Matt. 6:25 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Luke 10:7 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you. eat such things as are set before you. Take, eat : this is my body.

Matt. 26:56 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Luke 24:19. 26 What things? Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory ? Luke 24:46 Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day. Matt. 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him : but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. John 13:18 I speak not of you all : I know whom I have chosen ; but that the scripture may be fulfilled. He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. John 17:12 While I was with them in the world I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Aiid Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine.

Luke 12:49 28 29 30 DEC. 1 2 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Luke 12:50 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off : it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched. Mark 9:43 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:44 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council : but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matt. 5:22 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

John 8:50 And I seek not mine own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth. John 13 :32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. Luke 9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory and in his Father's and of the holy angels. Luke 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. John 17:10 Luke 22:29 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine ; and I am glori- fied in them.

Matt. 11:21 12 But I say unto you. It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. Matt. 11:22 13 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. Matt. 11:23 14 15 16 • But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.

Matt. 16:4 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

JULY PROPHETS AND PROPHECY 23 24 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a right- eous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. Matt 10:41 A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and in his own house. Matt. 13 -.^7 25 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand ; and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive. Matt 13:14 26 For this people's heart is waxed gross and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Matt. 13:15 27 28 29 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them ; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Matt. 13:17 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Matt. 7:15, 19,20 Many will say to mc in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you : depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt. 7:22.2 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. And with the increase of his lips shall he be fiUed. —Prov. 12:14 ^ 18:20. 4EAVEN FOURTH YEAR I give to eat of the tree of life. -Rev. 2:7. THE SPIRITUALLY BLIND JULY Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch ? Let them alone : they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God : but to others in parables ; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. That seeing they may see, and not perceive ; and hearing they may hear, and not understand ; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? Having eyes see ye not, and having ears hear ye not, and do ye not remember? What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? Bui what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed ; but setteth it on a candle- stick, that they which enter in may see the light. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. And Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine: and he was a priest of the most high God.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. John 16:23 8 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name : ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24 9 Ar that day ye shall ask in my name : and I say not unto you that I will pray the Father for you. John 16:26 10 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me ; for they are thine. John 17:9 11 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. John 17:20 12 And for their sakes I sanctify myself that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 26 27 28 29 30 Luke 12:23 28 The life is more than meat and the body is more than raiment. If then God so clothe the grass which is today in the field and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, ye of little faith.

Moreover, when ye fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance : for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them ? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. Rejoice ye in that day and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Let not your heart be troubled .... for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draw- eth nigh. The Bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor ! Ye fools and blind : for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. And w4ioso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and bv him that sitteth thereon. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life. Doth this offend you?

David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son ?

I am resolved what to do. that when I am put out of the steward- ship, they may receive me into their houses. Luke 16:5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said nnto the first, How much owest ihou unto my lord? ', Luke 16:6 And he said. An hundred measures of oil.

And he said unto him. Take thy bill and write fourscore.

While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made. Behold, the bride- groom cometh ; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying. Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage : and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying. Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 14 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. and Matt. 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. Matt. 21:37 Matt. 21 :38. 39 Matt. 21:40 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. And when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves. This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inherit- ance. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard and slew him. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

Matt. 20:2 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others stand- ing idle in the market-place. Matt 20:3 And said unto them ; Go ye also into the vineyard, and what- soever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Matt. 20:4 26 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. Matt. 20:5 27 28 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? Matt. 20:6 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them. Go ye also into the vineyard; and what- soever is right that shall ye receive.

Matt. 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. Matt. 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more : and they likewise received every man a penny. Matt. 20:11 12 And when they had received it, they murmured against the good- man of the house. Saying, These last have wrought but one hour and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. Matt. 20:13 14 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Matt. 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what i will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good ?

Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him. They have Moses and the proph- ets; let them hear them. Luke 16:30 And he said. Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose fiom the dead.

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So the servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry, said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 24 25 And the servant said.

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and un- derstandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth ; and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deep- ness of earth : And when the sun was up they were scorched ; and because they had no root, they withered away. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns sprung up and choked them. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
