PEACE, EVERYONE. I have arisen at this instance to say, there are some strangers here, some who are not accustomed of our Service. At any and at all of our Banquet Tables, we do use linen napkins and also paper napkins. The coworkers, the followers, friends and strangers and all alike are privileged to use the linen napkins on the Table, the paper napkins or any of the napkins they choose. I mention this because there are a few so-called followers around, egotistic, impractical, unprofitable and virtually good for nothing but to interfere with our guests and friends, who will try to teach others what they should or should not do.
I mention this because, as you heard read a little while ago from the pages of The New Day of nineteen hundred and forty-seven (I believe it was) that as it was with David, he said,
"Thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me."
And also he said that I came to give you this new birth of freedom and that's what I AM giving you.
There are many too interested in others' affairs— I mean unconcerned others—even though if it would be some of those who are actually serving—MY Spirit and MY Presence supplies in the abundance of the fullness of every good and desirable blessing—and in serving the public or serving yourselves, I have given you that privilege to have access for expression in the way of service and serving, so that all might be served generously and be free to eat, to drink and to use the things that are necessary for them.
A good many of the different ones do not use the linen napkins when the paper napkins are passed around, because they may not deem it necessary to use them; but all are privileged to use them—guests, friends and strangers, coworkers and followers alike. But if they do not desire to do it, they would not be especially required to do it.
So I AM saying this because we do not want anyone to be so egotistic and so anxious to try to embarrass others because your own sins have embarrassed you with afflictions and undesirable conditions. Do not try to embarrass others with your thoughts, your words and your actions, for your sins is it that have caused your conditions to result of such as you may express.
