28. And unto man he said. Behold the fear of the Lord, that is the beginning of wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding.
This man is one who loves the Lord, and when the Lord God picks a man to make a watchman out of him, he gives him wisdom. Let me get another witness, Psalm 111; 10. The fear of the Lord is in the beginning of wisdom, a good understanding have all they that do his commandments, his praise endureth forever.
Let us find another witness, St. John 7; 17. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself. This man has but one desire and that is to free a people who are crying to him for help all over the world.
Not only does God give out this wisdom and understanding to Mr. Garvey, but to all men and women who do his will. Unless you do the will of God, you cannot understand this great man. He is too far ahead of you, and you can only trust his word. Have faith in him and you will be all right.
Allow me to direct your thoughts back to the greatest of all prophets, that man is Jesus Christ.
St. John 8; 31:32. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believe in him, if you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed.
And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
It is the truth that destroyeth the carnal mind, which keeps you blind, so you cannot see the hand of God working through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it is only love that opens your eyes that you may see. All humanity has to get love, regardless to creed or color. Let us see what prophet Jesus says about it, as you say you are following him.
Matthew 5; 43:44. We have heard that it hath been said thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, love your enemy, do good unto them that hate you, bless them that curse you and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you.
