a¤d yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who sees Me, sees the Father: why then do you say, ‘ Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am with the Father, and the Father with Me ? The statements which I deliver to you, I do not deliver from Myself. As to the works, the Father dwelling with Me does them Himself. Believe Me that I em with the Father, and the Father with Me; if not, believe through the works themselves. I tell you most truly that the believer in Me shall himself do the works which I do; and he shall do greater than these, because I am going to the Father. And whatever you shall ask in My Name, that I will do, in order that the Father may be exalted in the Son. If, therefore, you ask anything in My Name, I will do it. Ghz Qrnmisz uf the léulg Spirit. Ifyou love Me, keep my commands x6 And I will ask the Father, and He will send you another Helper, to

am coming to you. A little while, and the world will see Me no more: but you will see Me; because I am living, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. Who- ever keeps My commands, and re- gards them, he it is who loves Me; and the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father; and I will love him, and will make Myself known Mhz §r¤¤f nf Enh:. judas, not the Iscariot, asked Him :

‘Master, how will it happen that You will manifest Yourself to us, and yet not to the world? ' jesus

He will retain My message; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and take up Our abode with him. The one who does not love Me will not retain My message; andthe message which you hear is not My own, but that of the Father Who sent Me. I have told you this while remaining with you; but the Helper, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send with My power, He will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have Myself told you. Elie Evgarg of °@jis §2nrz. ‘ Peace I leave with you; My own

peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. D0 not allow your heart to be troubled, nor yet be dis— couraged. You have heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away, and I am re· turning to you ’ : if you had loved Me, you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father; for the Father is mightier than Myself. And I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen, you may be convinced. I shall not from now have much conversation with you; for the Prince of thisworld approaches, and he has nothing in common with Me; but this is necessary in order that the world may learn that I love the Father, and act in accordance with His instructions. Arise, let us go for- ward from here! ’ W32 Qllzgnrg uf ll): Eine. ‘ I am the true Vine, and Mg Father

is the Cultivator. Every branch on Me not bearing fruit He removes it; and He prunes every fertile branch, so that it may become still more pro- ductive. As for you, you are already pruned, by means of the message which I have delivered to you. Re- main on Me, for I am with you. As the branch cannot be fruitful of itself, unless it remains upon the vine, so neither can yon, unless you remain on Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. He who remains on Me, and I with him, produces plenty of fruit; but, severed from Me, you can produce nothing. Any one not remaining on Me, is at once thrown away as a branch, and withers; they are then collected, thrown into the hre, and burned. If you remain on Me, and My teaching remains in you, what you may wish, you shall ask for, and it will come to you. By this My Father will be honoured, when you bear much fruit, and you will be manifestly My disciples. just as the Father has loved Me, so I have loved logo 26 28 I5
