Galatians – 6:7~ Prov. [Proverbs] 22.

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap."

Men are actors. Go forth to work effects visible in duration,
longer than time. Have sphere and vocation.

Yet human souls are neither productions of chance, nor are
noble destinies made to order; are wrought out with living hands
in actual individ. [individual] experience. Are under law to nat. [nature] & God.
That law will be enforced – whatever it be. God is its
Author & Executor. He will look to its sanctions.

Text says. He is not mocked. Will not be
trifled with in the matter. Will assure his prerog^s [prerogatives] –
vindicate himself – & treat men as they deserve forever.
