We want to share a few words spoken by Uranda in 1947, during the time when he travelled to be with Martin Cecil and the developing 100 Mile House Unit, shortly after Martin’s ordination, from a service titled Loyalty To Our King:
“Our Great Master came into the world and, facing the prevailing levels of consciousness, the ceilings, the bigotry, the self-righteousness, and above all, the unresponsiveness of the world, He carried through to Victory. It remains for us to prove our allegiance to our KING by likewise carrying through to Victory. When we accept the proffered citizenship in the Kingdom of God on earth, so that we begin to fulfill those specifications that He set down by which we might prove that we are in the world but not of it, there is the necessity of our recognizing Loyalty to our KING, and our daily lives should prove our Patriotism in His Kingdom. All too often individuals who claim to have accepted our KING are inclined to act as if personal considerations were of primary moment when they consider the problems and the choices that come before them. As it was essential then that there be a recognition of Jesus the Christ, it is essential now—but it is also essential now that there be a recognition of the One Christ Body on earth. That Patriotism to the Christ Kingdom, that Loyalty to our KING, is something that must be given with the whole heart, gladly, joyously, and not as one who would bargain with God. The gift of Eternal Life is given, protection against the prince of this world is given and provided by our KING—but Loyalty is not something that is purchased. We have, in relationship to our Ministry, the problem of assisting those who would become citizens of the Christ Kingdom to cross the boundaries into the Kingdom. There is a boundary line. A few are willing to accept the conditions of entry into the Kingdom. The problems of development in the spiritual sense are, essentially, the problems of crossing that boundary line, so that the individual is no more of the world, although he is in it; and, crossing that boundary line, the individual finds that he cannot penetrate to the open freedom of the Heart of the Kingdom until he passes through what we might call a Borderland. In this Borderland the individual begins to comprehend the meaning of the Master's Words, ‘By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love, one to another.’ In this Borderland the individual learns the customs and the language of the people of the Kingdom. In this Borderland the individual proves his Loyalty to our KING. There is absolutely no way by which any may enter on a basis of deception. To varying degrees you have ascended the pleasant slopes of the range of hills that is to be found in this Borderland, and from such vantage points as you have attained, you have looked into the Kingdom, glimpsed some of the glory, felt something of the peace and known something of the joy, you have experienced something of the satisfaction and the wonder of Being known in the Kingdom. Each must be willing to become a citizen of the Christ Kingdom, willing to learn the manners and customs, willing to learn the language, willing to be cleansed and purified and made whole, willing to let the outer mind be stilled, willing to let the great calm be a reality in the feeling realm. Our Ministry begins at the Border. Our Ministry is to those who would cross the Border and who would pass through the Borderland. Once the individual has stepped into the Borderland, every thought, every word, every feeling, every deed, reveals something as to where one's allegiance rests. If it is to our KING, to the Christ Kingdom, if it is to the Prince of Peace, then it will be revealed—but, if allegiance still rests with the prince of this world, it will likewise be revealed. It is in living that we prove these things; one does the deeds that reveal the Spirit of his Being. As we maintain a focalized recognition of our KING, the Spirit of our Living must surely shine forth to encourage all of those who are earnestly moving forward on their pilgrimage to the Promised Land, that the weary ones may be given strength, that the hesitant ones may be given courage, that the doubting ones may have their minds stilled, until they shall be able to hear the Spirit speak. The turmoils of the feeling realm must be calmed, the waves must be stilled, and the clamoring of the mind must be stilled, so that the Spirit of the Word may be felt; and then it is seen that the Way is open, then it is recognized that the Truth is present and then it is realized that the Life is a reality now.”
Now is the wondrous hour, now is the Day. david barnes and anne blaney
