God. But this meeting in Paris is a truly spiritual one. The Divine Breath
is poured forth in your midst, the light of the Kingdom is shining in all
hearts. The Divine love of God is a power among you, and with souls
athirst, ye receive the glad tidings of great joy.

You are all met here with one accord, heart drawn to heart, souls
overflowing with Divine love, working and longing for the unity of the
world.

Verily this assembly is a spiritual one! It is like unto a beautiful
perfumed garden! On it the Heavenly Sun sheds the golden rays, and the
warmth thereof penetrates and gladdens each waiting heart. The love of
Christ, which passeth all knowledge, is among you, the Holy Spirit is your
help.

Day by day this meeting will grow and become more powerful until gradually
its spirit will conquer the whole world!

Try with all your hearts to be willing channels for God's Bounty. For I
say unto you that He has chosen you to be His messengers of love
throughout the world, to be His bearers of spiritual gifts to man, to be
the means of spreading unity and concord on the earth. Thank God with all
your hearts that such a privilege has been given unto you. For a life
devoted to praise is not too long in which to thank God for such a favour.

Lift up your hearts above the present and look with eyes of faith into the
future! Today the seed is sown, the grain falls upon the earth, but behold
the day will come when it shall rise a glorious tree and the branches
thereof shall be laden with fruit. Rejoice and be glad that this day has
dawned, try to realize its power, for it is indeed wonderful! God has
crowned you with honour and in your hearts has He set a radiant star;
verily the light thereof shall brighten the whole world!
