I know that many artisans, belonging to mechanical trades, are crowding around me.  A day’s labour hardly suffices to maintain them; therefore I am compelled to abridge my discourse, so as not to keep them too long from their work.  What shall I say to them?  The time which you lend to God is not lost:  he will return it to you with large interest.  Whatever difficulties may trouble you the Lord will disperse them.  To those who have preferred spiritual welfare, He will give health of body, keenness of mind, success in business, and unbroken prosperity.  And, even if in this life our efforts should not realise our hopes, the teachings of the Holy Spirit are none the less a rich treasure for the ages to come.  Deliver your heart, then, from the cares of this life and give close heed to my words.  Of what avail will it be to you if you are here in the body, and your heart is anxious about your earthly treasure?
