ter fell upon the hearts of men. For, as the body of man depends for
life upon the rays of the sun, so cannot the celestial virtues grow in the
soul without the radiance of the Sun of Truth.

God leaves not His children comfortless, but, when the darkness of winter
overshadows them, then again He sends His Messengers, the Prophets, with a
renewal of the blessed spring. The Sun of Truth appears again on the
horizon of the world shining into the eyes of those who sleep, awaking
them to behold the glory of a new dawn. Then again will the tree of
humanity blossom and bring forth the fruit of righteousness for the
healing of the nations. Because man has stopped his ears to the Voice of
Truth and shut his eyes to the Sacred Light, neglecting the Law of God,
for this reason has the darkness of war and tumult, unrest and misery,
desolated the earth. I pray that you will all strive to bring each child
of God into the radiance of the Sun of Truth, that the darkness may be
dissipated by the penetrating rays of its glory, and the winter's hardness
and cold may be melted away by the merciful warmth of its shining.

greater volume of sound bursts upon the listening ears.

The Lord Christ arose as a bright Star in the Eastern sky, but the light
of His Teaching shone more perfectly in the West, where His influence has
taken root more firmly and His Cause has spread to a greater degree than
in the land of His birth.

The sound of the Song of Christ has echoed over all the lands of the
Western World and entered the hearts of its people.

The people of the West are firm, and the foundations on which they build
are of rock; they are steadfast, and do not easily forget.

The West is like a strong sturdy plant; when the rain falls gently upon it
to give it nourishment and the sun shines upon it, then does it blossom in
due time and bring forth good fruit. It is a long time since the Sun of
