That this leg may stand on solid ground and your deeds
begin, thrice blessed are you who take this third leg to heart. You have
blessed and you have given. Take that which needs to be done and do it
yourself. Say: "I am a child of God. My heart beats to do God’s will for his
children and me. This I can do, for God has made me perfect, whole and
complete. I am made in God’s own image and likeness. Therefore I am all I
need to be and the works I do now anchor fast this leg."
The work that is done in your name is blessed. The work that
is done by your name and your money is twice blessed. The work that is done
by your hand is thrice blessed. When you see a need to be filled, you first
feel it in your heart. Then you are moved emotionally with the desire to
have it not be so. Your mind will search for a way to it otherwise. Then you
take to task this need and with your hands you fill this need. There is no
deed so small that it does not make a brick. Woe unto you who do this only
so a brick is added to your mansion. This is done in vain, for no brick is
made.

their pain. THREE BRICKS ARE MADE.

they too have a place of importance. THREE BRICKS ARE MADE.

I, by my hand, will make straight that which I have made crooked through
mistake or knowledge, for I am honest. THREE BRICKS ARE MADE.

may pass through childhood unmolested by word or action. THREE BRICKS ARE
MADE.
I, by my hand, will make way for those who need a passage, be they young or

I, by my hand, will set my table with food that does not run red with blood.
THREE BRICKS ARE MADE.
Let not a day pass that a deed has not been done. Open your arms to the
world around you. Find in all things a deed that you might do. God does for
you more than you will ever know. Should you not do the same? Should not
your deeds be given as freely? Think you not that what you do makes little
difference, or that it is an insignificant act. For I tell you truly no deed
is so small that it will not be returned to you unto the nth degree.
Carry this book with you. When you know not what to do, it will guide you.
As a builders manual gives you the measurements of work to be done on the
straight and level, so does this book give you measurements to live your
life, that it may be straight and level. Go you now into the world and teach
only love for God is with you all.
