Page 153 - THE SILENT HEALING POWER By DR. MURDO MACDONALD-BAYNE

November 1949

My dear friends,

As each month rolls by my heart is gladdened to see so much beautiful
work done for the suffering and those in need of upliftment. You can be justly
proud of the part you are taking in this work. And whatever ye ask believing

you have received so shall ye have. This is the theme of my lecture this month,
for I am fulfilling the request of an earnest worker.
Amongst the hundreds of letters received this month I have taken a

few at random and here are extracts from them:
“We do look forward every month for your letter to come. What
comfort and joy it gives to us all at home you can never know, and words

cannot express what we feel. Our home has been changed completely, full
of love and happiness. God bless you.” A.L.T.
“Once again we write you with hearts filled with gratitude for the

beautiful letter this month. The loving kindness expressed therein has lighted
our way. Divine Love, joy and happiness are with us now and we go on our
way refreshed and gladdened. We have talks and read your letter over and
over again which has soothed our sorrows, calmed our strife and we now love

and bless all. You are indeed our beloved friend.” M.D.E.
“Words cannot express my thanks to you for the wonderful healing
of my son although the doctor said he could not live I knew when I put his

name in the Sanctuary that he would get well. May God bless the Sanctuary,
that is my earnest prayer.” A.L.

“FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR
THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN”

Faith with most people is faith in something they do not know and this is
always relative to the self, apart from the self. This faith can never be real nor can it
bring results because it is always accompanied with its neutralizer “doubt.”

Some say that their faith is in God but when you pursue this faith to
its lair it dissolves into a vagueness that betrays the fact that this faith is not
real. How can it be real when their faith is upon a God they do not know.
