e, in its
inner meaning, is consonant with the Word.

It is our hope that thou wilt in this day arise to promote that which
Emmanuel foretold. Know thou for a certainty that thou wilt succeed in
this, for the confirmations of the Holy Spirit are continually descending,
and the power of the Word will exert such an influence that the Letter
shall become the mirror in which the splendid Sun--the Word Itself--will be
reflected, and the grace and glory of the Word will illumine the whole
earth.

As for the heavenly Jerusalem that hath come to rest on the summits of the
world, and God's Holy of Holies, Whose banner is now lifted high, this
comprehendeth within itself all the perfections, all the knowledge of the

children of men. It is the flag of universal peace, the spirit of eternal
life; it is the glory of the perfections of God, the circumambient grace

Most Holy Book. Then wilt thou see that today these heavenly Teachings are
the remedy for a sick and suffering world, and a healing balm for the
sores on the body of mankind. They are the spirit of life, the ark of
salvation, the magnet to draw down eternal glory, the dynamic power to
motivate the inner self of man.

comprehension of man. He, the invisible, the lofty and the
incomprehensible, is preceded by no cause but rather is the Originator of
the cause of causes. He, the Ancient, hath had no beginning and is the
all-independent. The second kind of existence is the human existence. It
is a common existence, comprehensible to the human mind, is not ancient,
is dependent and hath a cause to it. The mortal substance does not become
eternal and vice versa; the human kind does not become a Creator and vice
versa. The transformation of the innate substance is impossible.

In the world of existence--that which is comprehensible--there are stages of
mortality: the first stage is the mineral world, next is the vegetable
world. In the latter world the mineral doth exist but with a distinctive
feature which is the v
