And we are not to stop here neither, my friends. There is that "little member
voice, that no man," the apostle says, "has tamed;" although men may have tamed
all the brute creation--and that is the tongue. It is a little voice; but, as
he says, "it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." It is like a fire, "and
it is set on fire of hell." Now there is nothing that can enable us to keep
this quiet and silent, but as we bow in perfect submission to the divine will
of Nature, to time manifestation of the grace of that Unified Field in our own
souls; and without this, we cannot use it in a proper manner.
Peace
be still,
-Buck
