bounties are
continuous, how much more shall we expect and realize in the divine
spiritual Kingdom! How much greater the radiation of the lights of God and
the bounty of life everlasting upon the soul of man! As the body of the
universe is continuous, indestructible, the bounties and bestowals of the
divine spirit are everlasting.
I praise God that I am privileged to be present in this revered
assembly(10) which is quickened with spiritual susceptibilities and
heavenly attraction; its members investigating the reality; their utmost
hope the establishment of international peace and their greatest purpose
service to the world of humanity.
When we observe the world of created phenomena we discover that each atom
of the atoms of substance is moving through the various degrees and
kingdoms of organic life. For instance, consider the ethereal element
which is penetrating and traveling through all the contingent realities.
When there is vibration or movement in the ethereal element, the eye is
affected by that vibration and beholds what is known as light.
In the same manner the bestowals of God are moving and circulating
throughout all created things. This illimitable divine bounty has no
beginning and will have no ending. It is moving, circulating and becomes
effective wherever capacity is developed to receive it. In every station
there is a specialized capacity. Therefore we must be hopeful that through
the bounty and favor of God, this spirit of life infusing all created
things shall quicken humanity and from its bestowals the human world
become a divine world, this earthly kingdom the mirror of the realm of
divinity, the virtues and perfections of the world of humanity become
unveiled and the image and likeness of God be reflected from this temple.
THE LAW OF GOD
Surely for everything there is an all-comprehending wisdom; especially for
the great and important affairs of life. The supreme and most important
happening in the human world is the Manifestation of God and the descent
of the law of God. The holy, divine Manifestations did not reveal
themselves for the purpose of founding a nation, sect or faction. They did
not appear in order that a certain number might acknowledge their
prophethood. They did not declare their heavenly mission and message in
order to lay the foundation for a religious belief. Even His Holiness
Christ did not become manifest that we should merely believe in him as the
Christ,
