injustice and tyranny!
Just now there is war in eastern Turkey, also war between Turkey and
Italy. Nations are devoted to conquest and bloodshed, filled with the
animus of religious hatred, seeking the good-pleasure of God by killing
and destroying those whom they consider enemies in their blindness. How
ignorant they are! That which is forbidden by God they consider acceptable
to Him. God is love; God seeketh fellowship, purity, sanctity and
long-suffering; these are the attributes of divinity. Therefore these
warring, raging nations have arisen against divinity, imagining they are
serving God. What gross ignorance this is! What injustice, blindness and
lack of realization! Briefly; we must strive with heart and soul in order

become reconciled and the nations love each other, so that no racial,
religious or political prejudice may remain and the world of humanity
behold God as the beginning and end of all existence. God has created all
and all return to God. Therefore love humanity with all your heart and
soul. If you meet a poor man, assist him; if you see the sick, heal him;
reassure the affrighted one, render the cowardly noble and courageous,
educate the ignorant, associate with the stranger. Emulate God. Consider
how kindly, how lovingly He deals with all and follow His example. You
must treat people in accordance with the divine precepts; in other words,
treat them as kindly as God treats them, for this is the greatest
attainment possible for the world of humanity.

Furthermore, know ye that God has created in man the power of reason
whereby man is enabled to investigate reality. God has not intended man to
blindly imitate his fathers and ancestors. He has endowed him with mind or
the faculty of reasoning by the exercise of which he is to investigate and
discover the truth; and that wh
