 thing his mind calls on is his Jesus. The first thing that strikes the sinner is God's judgment,—'I have offended God, I am troubled!' And for that poor sinner, if I can sing in his ears, there is good comfort. Live in peace; the God of love and peace shall be with you. Don't you want this peace? Don't you want a perfect body,—perfect before man, perfect before God? If there is anything the Old Man hates, it is to see a young man stand up and say he is going to be free. There is a little fear of Catholics in the second order going wrong, because they give a penalty on you; but in God's Church you are so free you let the penalty fall on your souls. Be perfect in your dealings, be true to one another; then it will be the consequence: the God of love and peace shall be with you, if you be perfect in these meetings. I have no fault to find; I can find fault after fault if I want. The best man that ever lived has done some fault; but the man that is perfect,—the man that is perfect in his dealings,—it is not a hard matter for him to get a living in the world. Be perfect in all your dealings; and to be perfect you must be of one mind. And in the next world, oh, my beloved sisters and brothers, we will part no more! There will be comfort and happiness, and the day of wrestling with God will be past, when we get to heaven, when we get to heaven!"
