Has not the Lord reproved your course? ...You have entrusted capabilities that may be improved greatly and be made efficacious under the discipline of God. Then His righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rereward. “Without me,” says Christ, “ye can do nothing” (John 15:5). If you set at naught His counsel, then you are in danger.—Letter 21c, January 8, 1892,. (TDG 16.5) MC VC
