ppear from amongst men and the light of
the divine may shine forth, so that the Orient may be illumined and the
Occident filled with fragrance, nay, so that the East and West may embrace
each other in love and deal with one another in sympathy and affection.
Until man reaches this high station, the world of humanity shall not find
rest, and eternal felicity shall not be attained. But if man lives up to
these divine commandments, this world of earth shall be transformed into
the world of heaven, and this material sphere shall be converted into a
paradise of glory. It is my hope that you may become successful in this
high calling so that like brilliant lamps you may cast light upon the
world of humanity and quicken and stir the body of existence like unto a
spirit of life. This is eternal glory. This is everlasting felicity. This
is immortal life. This is heavenly attainment. This is being created in
the image and likeness of God. And unto this I call you, praying to God to
strengthen and bless you.
