wilt change its
intense obscurity into a discovering light which will guide (the people)
unto the Kingdom of God.

"O thou effulgence of the Kingdom!..."

O thou effulgence of the Kingdom!

I read thy letter and was informed of thy speech, the contents of which
were full of the feelings within thy consciousness, and of thy spiritual
sympathies. The light is divided into two kinds, material and spiritual.
The material light is a vanishing matter and is known by etheric
vibrations. But the spiritual light is the divine, eternal and
never-ending quality and is a truth of the Kingdom. Blessed is thy face

hath thus made my heart busy with thy thought. Consider how much she must
care for thee to have remembered thee in such a place. Indeed, this is
great love and I am hopeful that this may be a confirmation to thee, so
