There are degrees of Righteousness unfolded. There are degrees of Righteousness and Truth developed, but when perfection shall have been exhibited, even these or those degrees of harmony in Righteousness and in the positive way of expression shall apparently be turned into darkness by the light of perfection. Oh, it is a privilege to realize it.

The moon gives light apparently from the reflection of the sun, but when the sun arises itself in the horizon, the light of the sun will overcome the moon and the moon will cease to give her light. The moon cannot reflect the brightness of the sun anyh longer when the sun itself comes forth into expression.

All of the positive expressions of degrees coming forth into our expression, yea, even though they be harmonious, the positive and not the negative – – when the perfected state of expression shall have been exhibited, those degrees of Righteousness and of the positive unfoldment will be turned into darkness in comparison with the positiveness of perfection when it is exhibited. The stars and the moon – – they refuse to shine when the brightness of the sun shall have shone in. They give no more the brightness of their light, for perfection has truly come – – that which is in part is done away with at that time!

Once there was a little lamb, and he happened to be a little he-lamb, and he grew up to be a great ram. He was on the mountain side one day grazing, and he came in contact with some goats. The great big billy came after him, and the ram just – – (Father demonstrated how the ram butted the goat to the great delight of all).The goat did the rushing up and jumping up and jumping back, but the ram stood his ground and just let him come every time, and the ram would just sock him, or ram him.

I said he would just sock him or ram him, whichever, and after a while the male goat found out he was not quite as tough as the ram was. “The ram’s head was a little bit harder than the goat’s, so the ram had grown up to be hard-headed too. So the story goes, the ram licked the goat and the goat went off.

Now we believe in a passive method of overcoming every opposition. We can and we will overcome them, but I AM here to say, the he-lamb grows up to be a ram. His head is getting pretty hard now. We shall have a Righteous Government and we shall not go out and seek a fight and we shall not contend in the act of violence, but of course, if we happen to be on the job and anyone comes upon us, why, we may just – – (Father again demonstrates how the ram butted the big billy, and the children shouted with glee.)

So when I sit as I sit at times, by being in a harmonious and sympathetic surrounding and by crating pleasant and inspiring atmosphere, I bring out inspirations to the world that are hid. There and then the mysteries are revealed.

When I stop and sit, it is as though a flowing steam, and in the end of the stream there is something built to catch the water which flows in before it fills the flow up to the top until it gets to the overflowing so it may start flowing again.

So it is a pleasant thing to be in the unity of the Spirit. David caught the glimpse of the mystery of this which I AM now speaking and said:

“How good it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.

It is like a precious ointment.”
