to righteous deeds and praiseworthy
character. In this day the hosts that can ensure the victory of the Cause
are those of goodly conduct and saintly character. Blessed are they who
firmly adhere unto them and woe betide such as turn away therefrom.

O people of God! I admonish you to observe courtesy, for above all else it
is the prince of virtues. Well is it with him who is illumined with the
light of courtesy and is attired with the vesture of uprightness. Whoso is

this promised glory, this wondrous favour. Behold how the generality of
mankind hath been endued with the capacity to hearken unto God's most
exalted Word--the Word upon which must depend the gathering together and
