“There is a light which you will emit in your pathway, that will
cause pure minds to rejoice, and the impure to tremble with fear.
Preparatory to the dawning of that day upon the world below, it will
be your work to get your means in readiness, so as to effectually
accomplish the pleasure of God, in the removal of wrong. You will need
wisdom, adapted to the conditions of those whom you will instruct,
and adequate to the great ends of human development. You will have
means. The means which nature affords are equal to every want. There
never can be a famine, when every want is supplied. The white throne
of judgment will admit no error. It is the throne of God, of nature,
and of your own hearts. It is within, around, above, and below you.
From this throne you will dispense justice to the needy, liberty to the
captive, and peace to the world. You will go where need calls you, and
where you can do good. You will not waste your strength in vain. You
will operate with great power, when circumstances make it expedient.
You will show signs of your presence, and the wisdom of the world will
be humbled. Philosophers will be confounded, and ignorance will mock,
but can not resist. You will teach the little child how to control the
lion that growls at the disclosure. You will lead the strong man by
an influence which he will not acknowledge. He will not yield until
the child commands. The world of mind will not yield to the voice of
nature, until nature reveals her philosophy. That world of mind is in
its boasted strength a lion, but the little child, the weak things, as
they will call your manifestations, will control the lion. Nature will
arm the weak with wisdom, to control a great multitude. They will be
strong, and the lion will feel his weakness. He will roar no more when
the child touches his heart. He will not harm, nor be harmed, when no
want induces him to seek for blood. The day will come, when the wants
of the lion will be satisfied without wrong. The day will come, when
the wants of mind will be satisfied with good things. The day will
come, when you will converse with the rudimental world, as you do with
each other. The day will come, when the wisdom of the two spheres will
meet. In that day you will rejoice, because great good will be done.
In that day, the invisible things of God will be clearly seen, being
manifest by the things which are made. They will be manifest through
you, and minds will be inspired to write the things which they have
seen. The works of nature will not retrograde; the progress of truth
will onward move, till one family, and no more, shall inhabit the
earth. That family shall be one, and all nations shall unite in it. The
common ties of sympathy and justice shall be felt, and neglect shall be
no more known, for all mind will be inspired with your love and peace.
