Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste?
Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm and he that earneth wages, earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
Hag. 1: 4-6. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Mal. 3: 10. Whosoever lays his earthly all on the altar of Christian Science, may to-day drink of Christ's cup and be baptized with his baptism.— Science and Health, 360, 17.
Who can think that the hand of God is not over this hour, that we should be having these Bible lessons at this time when we need so many reminders that the house of God in Jerusalem (Boston) is waiting for us to come up "as one man" with our love, our desires, and our cash? Do we, as Christian Scientists, mean what we say, when we say that we desire to see the symbol of our faith the, "Mother Church," in Boston? If so, why do we not produce the wherewithal, which will reveal it? The land has been made visible through the love of our Teacher. What kind of disciples are we that we do not bring the structure into view?
