举目向上看-第212章
“论到弟兄们相爱,不用人写信给你们,因为你们自己蒙了上帝的教训,叫你们彼此相爱”(帖前4:9)。{UL 225.1}[1]

As touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.1 Thessalonians 4:9.{UL 225.1}[1]

真理,宝贵的真理,要使我们成为圣洁,驯服,优雅,高贵,而最后将我们提升到坐在天上至尊者的右边。我们是否因缺少运动而使灵性的能力弱化呢?我们是否因容许自己的心专注属世的业务,以至日复一日,在宗教生活上缺少显著光明的经验呢?{UL 225.2}[2]
举目向上看-第212章
Truth, precious truth, is to sanctify, subdue, refine, elevate, and finally to exalt us to a seat at the right hand of the Majesty of heaven. Shall we grow feeble in spiritual power for want of exercise? Shall we go day after day without a marked and clear experience in the religious life because we permit our minds to be absorbed in worldly business?{UL 225.2}[2]

我亲爱的儿子埃德森:你的危险就在于此。这就是撒但所用以缠累你的诡计。你所培养的那些本能或器官强化起来,你也不知不觉地把自己置于不配参与上帝圣工的地步。当你应诚恳地将自己献上从事圣工时,你倒使自己不配从事那种上帝会嘉奖你去作的圣工。你心里一直地想起托词藉口,来原谅自己不去从事所应立即去作之工,反而等待甲目的达到,或乙计划完成,才来开工。你现在还未预备好从事什么伟大的工作。尽心做好一些与上帝圣工有关的小小义务,谦卑忠诚地肩负小小的责任,就使你堪配承当更重的责任,肩负更大的职务。你务须培养纯洁的动机,无私的爱好。{UL 225.3}[3]

Here, my dear son [Edson], is your danger. Here are the wiles of Satan entangling you. The very powers or organs that you cultivate become strong, and you are imperceptibly placing yourself where you will be in a position unfitted to engage in the work of God. The time that you should be giving yourself earnestly to the work, you are really unfitting yourself for the work God would honor you to do in His cause. One pretext after another has arisen to your mind to excuse you from taking hold of the work which you could do at once while you are waiting till this object is gained or that project is accomplished. It is not the great work you are fitted to do now. But it is the little duties connected with the work of God, the small responsibilities borne with humbleness and fidelity, that will qualify you for higher responsibilities, more important trusts. Purity of motives, unselfish interest, you must cultivate.{UL 225.3}[3]

要亲近你的弟弟威利。不可容什么竞赛或分争损害你对他的爱,以至造成隔膜。你心怀中不可给自私或嫉妒的念头留下余地。要从心中除掉这类念头。当培养仁爱、信任与信赖。当依照圣经的标准生活为人。要照着上帝赐给你的亮光行事。当藉着亲切的言行,和无私的行为,显示你对威利的真诚关怀和爱心。你所有的一切改进必会反照到你的身上。等到我看见你们弟兄俩人相爱的心牢固坚稳,毫不动摇,我才会心满意足。愿上帝帮助你达成这个目标。你比威利年长些,理当尽量设法帮助他,使你们心心相印。当相爱如弟兄,存慈怜谦卑的心。{UL 225.4}[4]

Press close to your younger brother, Willie. Let no emulation or strife separate your heart and affections from him. Let no selfish feelings or jealousy find a place in your heart. Empty it of all these things. Cultivate love, confidence, and trust. Live up to the Bible standard. Carry out the light God has given you. Show in kindly acts and words and unselfish acts your true interest and affection for Willie. All the advances you make will be reflected back on you. I shall never be satisfied until I see you both, firmly and strongly, lovingly, united in the closest bonds of brotherly love. God help you to work to this end. You are older than Willie and you should seek in every way to help him and bind him to your heart. Love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.{UL 225.4}[4]

我儿,宗教并非如一些人所想的,只属于思想和理论的范围。它必须实践在人生的一切大道和小径上。它不但要使心思悦服,更是要管制人生。惟独它要洁净人心。上帝要求凡称为他名下的人要作良好的公民,使严格正直和纯洁献身的人生,成为照耀世界的明灯。(《信函》1876年35号,7月30日,致“亲爱的孩子们”。当时埃德森刚27岁,威利21岁){UL 225.5}[5]

Religion, my son, is not as some take it, head work, theory. It must be practically carried out in all the byways and broadways of life. It must regulate the life as well as to convince the mind. It alone must purify the heart. God requires everyone who professes His name to be good citizens and that the life of strict integrity and pure devotion should leave a bright light to the world.—Letter 35, July 30, 1876, to “Dear Children.” Edson had just turned 27; Willie was 21.{UL 225.5}[5]
