I am here, Helen:
Well, sweetheart, you had quite a long letter from Joe
Shellington and I am glad that you let him write, for it seemed
to help him so much. He is now progressing and praying to the Father,
and has some faith. As he said, I have been trying to help him,
and he listens to me with much interest. Soon, I believe, he will
see the light and get out of his darkness.
Do as he requests. Send a copy of the letter to his wife, for I
believe it will do her good, as well as him. She is not so much
in love with him now, but yet she will feel better by knowing that
he loves her and is alive.
I don't know, as I have not inquired, but I will in order to let
you know. But it is not best that either of them should know at
this time.
Well, I will not write very much tonight, as you have written enough.
I must tell you, though, that I love you with all my heart and soul,
and I am so glad that you do me.
I was with you and saw your condition of mind and know just how
you felt. The worship was all of Jesus, and he says that is not
right. But, nevertheless, while these people speak of Jesus as God,
yet in their hearts they worship God, and you must not feel that
they are sinning very much in calling Jesus' name so much. They
speak of Christ and if they only knew the true meaning of that name
their worship would be all right. But they fail to know the difference
between Jesus and Christ and hence make the mistake of worshiping
Jesus Christ, meaning Jesus.
But their hearts have the Love of the Father and they will be benefited
by such love even though they look upon Jesus as God. He knows just
what they mean, and while he does not like to be worshiped, yet
he sees that their longing is for God.
I must now stop, and will only say that you have
much love in your soul tonight.
So with all my love I will say good night.
Your own true and loving,
Helen
