the helpless victims of their corrupt inclinations and desires. These

CXXX: BE GENEROUS IN PROSPERITY, AND THANKFUL IN...
Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the
trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face.
Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the
cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in
thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all
meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy
to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an
upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and
uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm
to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes to the
blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring. Be an ornament to
the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the
temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of mankind, an
ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a
dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a
sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining
light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of
humility.

that can satisfy the needs of the whole of mankind, and admonitions that
can profit them.
The One true God beareth Me witness, and His creatures will testify, that
not for a moment did I allow Myself to be hidden from the eyes of men, nor
did I consent to shield My person from their injury. Before the face of
all men I have arisen, and bidden them fulfil My pleasure. My object is
none other than the betterment of the world and the tranquillity of its
peoples. The well-being of mankin
