Chapter 67
Unfaithfulness in Stewardship
Dear Brother K: A few things which are
pressing upon my mind I feel a duty to write to
Brother L and you. I have related the substance of
the matter before you; but as my mind is still
burdened, I will write.
I was shown that with you, I and mine have
come to be first. You have had so great a care for
yourself that the Lord has had no room to work for
you. You have given Him no chance. He has, in a
great measure, given Brother L and yourself up to
work according to your own judgment, that you
might be convinced that your wisdom is
foolishness. You have not worked for the interest
of the widow and fatherless, as the Lord has
especially enjoined upon His followers; neither
have you made the cases of the Lord's poor your
own, by taking a special interest in them, nor have
you sought to glorify God and magnify His name;
