Excerpt: ...king. 13 Worthy they who are maligned and wronged because they do the right; their persecutors they shall bless. 14 Worthy is the trustful child of faith; he shall sit in the throne of power. 15 Be not discouraged when the world shall persecute and call you curst; but rather be exceeding glad. 16 The prophets and the seers, and all the good of earth, have been maligned. 17 If you are worthy of the crown of life you will be slandered, vilified and curst on earth. 18 Rejoice when evil men shall drive you from their ways and cause your name to be a hiss and byword in the street. 19 I say, rejoice; but deal in mercy with the doers of the wrong; they are but children at their play; they know not what they do. 20 Rejoice not over fallen foes.

About the Author:
LEVI (Levi H. Dowling) was born May 18, 1844 in Belleville, Ohio. His father, of Scotch-Welsh descent, was a pioneer preacher among the Disciples of Christ. Levi, following in his father s footsteps, began preaching at the age of sixteen; and at the age of eighteen was pastor of a small church. He entered the US Army as a Chaplain and served in this capacity to the end of the Civil War. By 1866 he was a student at Northwestern Christian University in Indianapolis, Indiana where he soon began publishing Sunday School literature. After graduation, he studied at two medical colleges and went on to practice medicine for a number of years. After his retirement from medicine in the early 1900 s, Levi resumed his literary work and began to organize THE AQUARIAN GOSPEL OF JESUS THE CHRIST for publication. Levi passed from earth-life on August 13, 1911.
