Linda Buntyn Willie: "The LAW"

Thou criest out that thou didst ask
And yet didst not receive,
And now thou sayest in thy heart
There is no law of good.
But hadst thou kept the law of good,
Or didst thou, asking, doubt?
Nay, nay, 'twas not the law that failed
'Twas thou who trustedst not.
Is law for Me alone to keep?
Nay, thou must do thy part.
Thou art to ask for naught but good
And asking, never doubt.
That is the law that thou must keep ---
Seek good, and e'er believe.
When thou hast kept this law of good,
Then ask; thou wilt receive.

A poem by Linda Buntyn Willie (circa 1915)

Asked by the writer what it was that first turned him in the direction of New Thought, Nicol Campbell replied that it was the reading of a poem by Linda Buntyn Willie, "The Law." This, he said, sent him to a deeper study of the New Testament, and when the light broke through he began to put the Master's teaching of the Law of Love into everyday practical living.
