Book of Discipline Chapter 6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Of Jehovih and His kingdom on earth.<\/p>\n

1. O man, apply thyself to understand the spirit of my discourse, for herein shalt thou find the key to the Father’s kingdom.<\/p>\n

2. These are the rules of the second resurrection: To become an interpreter and worker without a written formula:<\/p>\n

3. That whatsoever giveth joy to thy fellow and rendereth peace and good will unto all–shall be called light:<\/p>\n

4. That whatsoever giveth sorrow to thy fellow, or discouragement to others–shall be called darkness:<\/p>\n

5. As to find fault with another, or to aggrevate unto displeasure–shall be called darkness:<\/p>\n

6. But to make another’s burden light, to encourage him unto strength and happiness–shall be called light:<\/p>\n

7. To be forever complaining about this or that–shall be called darkness:<\/p>\n

8. To be forever imparting cheerfulness–shall be called light.<\/p>\n

9. Now therefore whoso becometh a member of my kingdom shall practice light; but whoso practiceth darkness, will depart away from my kingdom of his own accord.<\/p>\n

10. Neither shalt thou practice darkness upon thy fellow for any shortness he hath done.<\/p>\n

11. Nor shalt thou reprove him for error, nor blame him, nor make thyself an inquisitor over him, nor assume to be a judge over him.<\/p>\n

12. Nor ask him to apologize, nor otherwise seek to make him humble himself before thee.<\/p>\n

13. Nor shalt thou boast over him because thou art wiser or stronger or more expert.<\/p>\n

14. For all such inquisition cometh of darkness, and shall return upon him who uttereth it, in time to come.<\/p>\n

15. Rather shalt thou discover the good that is in thy neighbor, and laud him therefor, for this is the method of raising him higher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
