22 You have insulted me in your own home; I cannot stay. I will go forth and find that child, that woman and that man, and give them help until my life’s blood all has ebbed away.
23 I call it pleasure when I help the helpless, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, heal the sick, and speak good words of cheer to those unloved, discouraged and depressed.
24 And this that you call mirth is but a phantom of the night; but flashes of the fire of passion, painting pictures on the walls of time.
25 And while the Logos spoke the white-robed priest came in and said to him, The council waits for you.
26 Then Jesus stood again before the bar; again no word was said; the hierophant placed in his hands a scroll, on which was writ, PHILANTHROPY.
27 And Jesus was a victor over selfish self.
CHAPTER 52.
Jesus spends forty days in the temple groves. Passes the fifth brotherhood test and receives the fifth degree, HEROISM.
The sacred temple groves were rich in statues, monuments and shrines; here Jesus loved to walk and meditate.
2 And after he had conquered self he talked with nature in these groves for forty days.
