Washington D.C.
I am here, Jesus.
Well, I am here to tell you of my great gratification in hearing
you declare your belief in me again as you did today. This may seem
to be a small matter to you, but I tell you it is one of greatest
moment, not only to my cause but to you personally, because it puts
you in close rapport with me, and helps you get into a condition
which enables you to respond with a greater facility to my efforts
to convey to you my messages. And also it has a reflex influence
on your spiritual condition, and tends to increase your faith in
what I tell you of the Father's Love and His great mercy and plan
for man's redemption.
I am pleased with your declaration and will help you to become
more at-one with me in my work. So let not doubt come into your
mind as to my being who and what I represent myself to be, for if
there is a truth in all the universe, that assertion of mine is
a truth. Let your faith increase, and your life will be happier,
and you will become better fitted to inhabit the sphere which I
have determined you shall have for your home.
Oh, my dear brother, it is a great consolation to know that you
will do my work as I desire it to be done on earth, and to feel
that I can rely upon you to receive my "Gospel of Truth
and Light to mankind." *
Yes, you were correct and I will soon write on this subject at
length, and you will see that, before me, no man or spirit ever
declared the truth of immortality.
You have a right conception of what I meant, and you will sometime
realize that that immortality is for you. You and all who believe
as you do and seek for the Divine Essence, which alone can bring
immortality to man.
Very soon now I will continue my last message and then we will
progress faster in our work.
Well, I will not detain you longer tonight, as there are several
present who desire to write.
Well, that is now a part of your work**, and your band knows that
you must do that work. It will not injure your rapport with your
band, or cause your power of writing to diminish.
So with all my love and the blessings of the Father,
I am your own true brother.
Jesus

*Although a number of different titles were used
by Dr. Stone, including "Messages from Jesus and Celestials",
"Book of Truths", and "True Gospel revealed anew
by Jesus", and even "True Gospel revealed again from Jesus",
this is not a title that was
ever used.
** The work referred to is helping spirits who
write through Mr. Padgett, and enable them to visualise the bright
spirits who help them in their progress.
