O revered one! In this eternal morning wherein the lights of "God is the Light of the heavens and earth" (K. S. 24) have encompassed all the world, and the tent of the preservation and protection of "God willeth no other than Himself to perfect His Light" (K. S. 9) is erected, and the Hand of Power of "in His Hand is the Kingdom of all things "is outstretched and raised,—loins of endeavor should be firmly girded that we may perchance enter the Holy City of " Verily we are of God," through the favor and beneficence of God, and abide in the exalted stations of "and to Him we do return."
