The Book of God is wide open, and His Word is summoning mankind unto Him. No more
than a mere handful, however, hath been found
willing to cleave to His Cause, or to become the
instruments for its promotion. These few have been
endued with the Divine Elixir that can, alone, transmute
into purest gold the dross of the world, and
have been empowered to administer the infallible
remedy for all the ills that afflict the children of men.
No man can obtain everlasting life, unless he embraceth
the truth of this inestimable, this wondrous,
and sublime Revelation.

Incline your ears, O friends of God, to the voice
of Him Whom the world hath wronged, and hold fast
unto whatsoever will exalt His Cause. He, verily,
guideth whomsoever He pleaseth unto His straight
Path. This is a Revelation that infuseth strength into
the feeble, and crowneth with wealth the destitute.

With the utmost friendliness and in a spirit of perfect
fellowship take ye counsel together, and dedicate
the precious days of your lives to the betterment
of the world and the promotion of the Cause of Him
Who is the Ancient and Sovereign Lord of all. He,
verily, enjoineth upon all men what is right, and
forbiddeth whatsoever degradeth their station.
