I am here, Ross Perry.
Let me write a line, for I am very desirous of again
communicating to you the fact that I am progressing and have
found the Love of which you first told me and which information
led to my seeking it.
I know that you are very much interested in the higher messages
and want to give your time to receiving them and that it is almost
impudence for me to intrude, but I have asked your wife if I will
interfere with any of these messages tonight by my writing and she
informed me that it would not, as none of these messages would be
written tonight. So I feel somewhat at liberty to write and I hope
that you will consider that I am not intruding.
Well, since last I wrote you, I have been praying to the Father
with all the longing of my soul for an increase of His Love and
realize that it has come into my soul in greater abundance and I
am correspondingly happy. I shall soon be in the Third (Spirit)
Sphere, so the spirit friends who have been so kind and loving to
me, tell me, and it gives me much happiness to know that such a
prospect is opened up to me, for I can, because of the progress
that I have already made, and realize to some extent what a home
in that sphere will mean to me.
I would like to write you a long letter tonight, but I must not
detain you. But this I want you to remember that I am very happy
now, and my sufferings have left and I know that all these blessings
came to me because of the workings of the Divine Love in my soul.
It is wonderful what that Love can accomplish in the way of rescuing
a sinful soul from its surroundings of darkness and from suffering.
The Law of Compensation, which is a great truth, does its work
without hesitation or partiality, or interference by any God or
angel in the way of commanding it to cease its work, but this great
Divine Love is more powerful than the Law and when it enters into
the soul of a man or spirit it in effect says to this Law: "You
shall no longer operate on the soul of the sinner that was, because
it will take that soul away from and outside the operations of the
Law."
How little men understand this working of the (Divine) Love. It
does not set aside the Law, but it merely removes the soul in which
it has found a lodgment from the scope of the operation of the Law.
The Law goes on but the objects of its operations are rescued from
the same. No Law is set aside which men think and argue is necessary
in order for a soul to be saved from its penalties and when on earth
I believed this too, and did not believe in or accept the doctrine
of the special interposition of divine providence to succor men
from the consequence of their sins and that I did not believe because
I thought that the only way in which this could be accomplished
was for God to say to the Law: "You shall cease to operate."
But now I know, that, while the Law never ceases to operate until
the penalties that are called for are paid, yet this Love is above
the Law, though not antagonistic to it. I wish that I might write
more on this subject tonight as to me, it is one of the most wonderful
truths in God's Universe of Spirit and I never cease to meditate
upon it and thank the Father that I was made a real example of the
power of this Love.
Well I must stop now, but when you have time I should like to come
and write at more length. I see that my wife has not progressed
in learning the truth and I am very sorry. Well friend, good night.
Your friend,
Ross Perry
