LXXII.—To the
Poor in Health.
What can healthful poverty do, unless wealth be
present? Assuredly, if thou hast the means, at once communicate
also to thy brother. Be responsible to thyself for one, lest thou
shouldst be said to be proud. I promise that thou shalt live more
secure than the rich man. Receive into thy ears the teaching of
the great Solomon: God hates the poor man to be a pleader on
high.1860
Therefore submit thyself, and give
honour to Him that is powerful; for the soft speech—thou knowest
the proverb—melts.1861
One is
conquered by service, even although there be an ancient anger. If
the tongue be silent, thou hast found nothing better. If there
should not wholesomely be an art whereby life may be governed, either
give aid or direction by the command of Him that is mighty. Let
it not shame or grieve you that a healthy man should have faith.
In the treasury, besides, thou oughtest to give of thy labour, even as
that widow whom the Anointed One preferred.1862
