comforts, riches, and earthly delights while neglecting to
call God to mind! Because calamities encountered in God’s

never passed a tree but Mine heart addressed it saying: “O
would that thou wert cut down in My name, and My body
crucified upon thee!”’ These were the words of the Most
Great Name. This is His path. This is the way to His Realm
of Might.
