therefore avoid them carefully. But let such be hidden that you may not
become a cause of hindrance.
Thou hast written regarding the articles and papers which are written by
the believers of God and the forwarding of them to this land for
correction. This servant, on account of the multitude of works and

Akka, in order that it may be also approved of here and then returned, and
that then it may be printed and published.
That the two Spiritual Meetings of Chicago and New York must be in unity
and harmony is very important, and when a Spiritual Meeting may be also
