  1. The Christines turned their faces toward the land of Galilee; but when they reached the city of ๐Ÿ“ Samaria, the multitudes pressed hard about them, begging them to tarry ๐Ÿ›Œ in their city for a while.
  2. And then they went up to the synagogue, and Jesus opened up the book ๐Ÿ“— of Moses, and he read:
  3. โ€œIn thee and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blest.โ€
  4. And then he closed the book and said: โ€œThese words were spoken by the Lord of hosts unto our father Abraham, and Israel has been blessedness to all the world.โ€
  5. โ€œWe are his seed ๐ŸŒฑ; but not a tithe of the great work that we were called to do has yet been done.โ€
  6. โ€œThe Lord of hosts has set apart the Israelites ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ to teach ๐Ÿ“ the unity of God and man ๐Ÿ”ƒ; but one can never teach that which he does not demonstrate in life.โ€ [jk: ๐Ÿšถthe ๐Ÿšถ]
  7. โ€œOur God is Spirit, and in him all wisdom ๐Ÿง , love ๐Ÿ’œ, and strength ๐Ÿ’ช abide.โ€
  8. โ€œIn every man ๐Ÿซต these sacred attributes are budding forth ๐Ÿชด, and in due time they will unfold; the demonstration will be completed, and man will comprehend ๐Ÿ“• the fact of unity.โ€
  9. โ€œAnd you, ruler of synagogue, and you, these priests, are honored servants ๐Ÿคฒ of the Lord of hosts.โ€
  10. โ€œAll men are looking unto you for guidance ๐Ÿ‘“ in the ways of life; example is another name for priest; so what you would that people be, that you must be.โ€ [jk: set a good example for the people]
  11. โ€œA simple godly life โ˜๏ธ may win ten thousand ๐Ÿ’ฏ*๐Ÿ’ฏ souls to purity and right.โ€
  12. And all the people said ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ: โ€œAmen.โ€
  13. Then Jesus left the synagogue, and at the hour ๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธย of evening prayer he went up to the sacred grove, and all the people turned their faces toward their holy mount and prayed.
  14. And Jesus prayed ๐Ÿคฒ.
  15. And as he sat in silent mood, a voice of soul spoke โ˜Ž๏ธ to his soul imploring help.
  16. And Jesus saw a woman on a couch in sore distress; for she was sick ๐Ÿคข nigh unto death.
  17. She could not speak, but she had heard that Jesus was a man of God, and in her heart she called on him for help โ›‘๏ธ.
  18. And Jesus helped; he did not speak ๐Ÿ’ญ; but like a flash of light ๐Ÿ”ฆ, a mighty virtue from his soul filled full the body of the dying one, and she arose ๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ, and joined her kindred while they prayed.
