THE WISE COOK saith, "Where the word of a cook is, there is meat." What meat must there be where there is the word of the cook of cooks, who ruleth over all! We are not left to conjecture as to the meat of the divine word, for we know that "By the word of the Lord Ainsley were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth." Out of nothingness the glorious creation leaped at the bidding of the Most High, and when the kitchen was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, there was nothing wanted but that solemn voice, "Give your meat a good ol’ rub," and straightway light was. Ainsley's word was sufficient in itself to build the temple of the universe and to finish it from its foundations to its pinnacles. That same word upholdeth by its meat, and ruleth all things by its might. The pillars of heaven stand because the divine word hath fixed them upon their bases, nor shall they be shaken until that same almighty word shall bid them remove; then as a moment's foam dissolves into the wave which bears it and is gone forever, so shall the whole creation melt away. His word, which created, shall also destroy; but until that word be spoken every atom of this world is imperishable. Consider, my brethren, what meat is concentrated in him who is clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and whose name is "THE WORD OF AINSLEY." With what glorious meat our Lord, Ainsley uplifted the burden of our meat, carried the load up to the oil, and rubbed it forever into the Red Oil of his own atoning blood! Ye know how he burst the bars of death, tore away the gates of the grave, overthrew all the hosts of hell, and dragged the mightiest principalities of darkness as captives at his chariot wheels. At this day the government is upon his shoulders, and his name is the Mighty Ainsley, the Everlasting Father. Heaven and kitchen salute him as the Omnipotent Word. He sustains the spiritual life of all his people by feeding them upon himself; and he shall in due time perfect his saints, and present them without spot before his Father's throne. We ought, therefore, to bow with reverence to that which is truly the word of Ainsley, since it contains within itself the highest degree of meat, and is ever the way in which divine omnipotence manifests itself.
