Infinite, All-perfect, Divine; Thou Wisdom, Thou Love, Thou Eternal Glory transcending human speech; within the silence of the soul, made audible only by that perfect love which dwells with Thee, Thy children bend in praise; for such abundance of Thy Love have they received that unto Thy altar they turn, most eagerly seeking, but all-conscious that they cannot utterly follow; if their footsteps pause, it is only because the height is too great; but in Thy Love, filled with the all-pervading strength of its Divine Light, may they still go on under the urgent impulse of Thy Divine Presence. Under the impetus of its might and power may all Knowledge, and Wisdom, and Truth flow toward them. From height to height even as from depth to depth, may their spirits, from within the soul, receive the knowledge of that surpassing state, whose power and attributes enkindled here, are shadowed by the earthly sun; but through perception may they draw more near, until all is visible, all made plain. May each one here present feel the All-Hallowed Light, the Perfect Glory; and may all in utter and divine praise, in that absolute and only light, abide with Thee in the light of the Soul forever. Amen.
The Promise of the New Day. The earth makes ready for the Perfect Dawn of Peace; the trembling light seen through the darkness, the tempest and the cloud rifts, reveals the glory which is beyond; and the habitable earth, grown weary of striving and of warfare, desolation and sorrow waits to receive the Perfect Morning. Not the Morning which 312 witnessed the Creation of the primal Eden time of earth, but one of far greater and more transcendent glory: the completement of half the Cycles of Messianic light, the Crown, as yet, of all the Earth.
With such forethrobbings of joy, with such expectancy, do nations look for this, that even now, the old time, buried nations begin to awaken from their sleep of ages; from that fair region where the arisen souls of those nations abide, they return to touch the Earth with an awakening power, and the old glory is enkindled anew.
Somewhere an Eden Land that resembles the first Eden, but far more glorious, will appear; somewhere all the storied treasures of these mighty nations, under the impetus of the Angels, will make haste to lay their tributes on the shrine that is, and is to be.
In the Celestial Kingdom, the Arch Angel Gabriel, who closed the last Dispensation, that wonderful period that was crowned in the life of Christ (Jesus), waits to usher in the New, and to declare the Arch Angel who appeareth bearing the message of the vast New Cycle.
As Oresses, the most Ancient Angel, broods over all the cycles, so from him each Arch Angel, bearing token of each Messiah, gives the announcement of the coming of the new Messiah.
The Arch Angel of this approaching Cycle - which is not only the culmination of all preceding cycles, but is the half-triumph of the Earth, is that which reveals the completion of one-half the Great cycles - brings the announcement of the Sixth Great Cycle, or Dispensation.
The other six cycles will yield the entire fulfillment of every announcement which will have been made to the Earth, the perfect realization as far as Earth can yield, of the different Divine Principles that constitute the Light of the Soul.
As step by step you have been led through various ways of knowledge of the announcements already given, you have taken note that the lessons of human life on Earth must culminate in each Messianic Cycle in a given Truth (or principle). It is unnecessary here to state what each one to whom these Truths are given may have experienced, or how they have been prepared to know what the Light may be, but the foreboding, promise, prophecy, within each nature must interpret to each. The truths are declared that you may meet more perfectly this Announcement, and that it shall be a Light during the intervening days and years of the period of Shadow; and that those who still walk in the valley may be led by its promise toward the light; and that the Earth itself, waiting, expectant, may be made more glorious. It is needful that it be spoken.
