"Oct 28 - One of the great blessings of Heaven is the
appreciation of heaven on earth - Ephesian truth.
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain
that which he cannot lose. Lu 16:9 '...that whom it shall fail, they
may receive you into everlasting habitations.'
Scripture leaves so many stories untold. Think of the
calloused heart of the priest who stooped over, squinting in the
dimness of the sanctuary, looking for the 30 pcs. of silver Judas cast
there - pausing to see if he had found all 30. Too legal to put the
money in the treasury since it was blood-money, they wax very philanthropic
and buy with it a field to bury strangers in. How cold the heart of man!
How feelingless and obdurate!”
This can be found in the October 28, 1949 entry on page 174 (Chapter 4) of the 1978 hardback edition of the Journal and on page 108 (Chapter 11) of the 1958 hardback edition of Shadow of the Almighty. The quote is also used in the prologue of Shadow on page 15.
