od of all mankind?

Humanity, torn with dissension and burning with hate, is crying at this
hour for a fuller measure of that love which is born of God, that love
which in the last resort will prove the one solvent of its incalculable
difficulties and problems. Is it not incumbent upon us, whose hearts are
aglow with love for Him, to make still greater effort, to manifest that
love in all its purity and power in our dealings with our fellow-men? May
our love of our beloved Master, so ardent, so disinterested in all its
aspects, find its true expression in love for our fellow-brethren and

God's Universal House of Justice, to obtain a clearer and fuller
understanding of its provisions and implications. But one word of warning
must be uttered in this connection. Let us be on our guard lest we measure
too strictly the Divine Plan with the standard of men. I am not prepared
to state that it agrees in principle or in method with the prevailing
notions now uppermost in men's minds, nor that it should conform with
those imperfect, precarious, and expedient measures feverishly resorted to
by agitated humanity. Are we to doubt that the ways of God are not
necessarily the ways of man? Is not faith but another word for implicit
obedience, whole-hearted allegiance, uncompromising adherence to that
which we believe is the revealed and express will of God, however
perplexing it might first appear, however at variance with the shadowy
views, the impotent doctrines, the crude theories, the idle imaginings,
