Meanwhile, the nearest and dearest are encircling and pervading you, with the All-hallowed glory of God's Perfect Love; and the Angel of Love abideth close beside the Shrine and giveth unto you the blessings of this hour, saying: "Beloved of Earth; such tokens as your lives have given, such devotion and seeking for perfect Truth through perfect Love as ye can attest, such willingness and obedience of heart and mind and willing feet and hands, to follow the high behest of this Divine Light; such aspiration as through all the shadows that encompass the earthly state still reveals the coming fulfillment in perfect Love; these are yours in the promise of the New Kingdom."

Nothing is declared that shall outwardly exalt or superficially and selfishly extol your lives; but only that such as are made ready by the aspirations of these hours, by the comprehension of these divine truths, by the divine ardors that fill them in the knowledge of that which is to come, by the perception of the surpassing glory that is seen in the whiteness of the perfect Life, cannot be mistaken.

Such be your portion in the New Life; such be your knowledge of the New Dispensation when you wear the human form again; when the light shall have fully come; when those who are summoned from near and afar, now scattered over the Earth, shall with others be gathered together. Then with rays of reminiscence, luminous from the altar of that Angel of Love, ye will know what has been spoken; ye will know into what Kingdom ye have been taken by these broken words; ye will then know and remember the struggling of the mind to reach the heights of the Soul. Then you will see how the way has been prepared, how the life has been strengthened and exalted, and how the pathways now converging all meet at the height in the culminating glory of that Divine Light.

The Angel of Harmony (two lives), the unknown ones, who has as yet received no name upon the Earth, but who beareth the Prophecy of the Kingdom of perfect Love, abideth a while in the circles of Arch Angelic life; and the twelve Angels who usher them into outward life bend above you, and their Light trembles toward you amid the shadows of Earth and gives you their blessing and benediction. The Angel of God's Voice is there, speaking as it hath spoken in the past. The Angel of God's Strength is there, upbearing the pillars of this mighty Temple of Truth. The Angel of God's Knowledge is there, revealing unto all the kingdoms terrestrial and celestial, the light that is divine: The Angel of God's Law, fulfilling on Earth the mandate of heaven: The Angel of God's Light, who bears the quivering pinions of each pulsation of the New Morning unto the Earth, and ushers in each New Dispensation: The Angel of God's Truth, bearing his beautiful torch of the Light of Truth unto the world; all the Angels of those wonderful Powers that are veiled in the mysterious meaning of God's Omnipotence and all-potent Love. Thus beneath these Angels, the tight of the New Dispensation trembles and quivers within, above, and beyond you, and ye receive at this hour the solemn baptism and tokens of its presence in your lives.

Let each one bear as a Sacred Seal, as a divine Light, the words that have been spoken; let them remain as a sealed book until such time as we shall break the silence again. Let each one take from the outward altar such token or blossom as ye each may choose, that shall be an external commemoration of the blossoms of eternal life.

The Shrine Of Perfect Love

At the shrine all perfect and complete Ye bend as pilgrims with one accord;

Whereunto the Arch-Angels meet To receive the mandate of the Lord

For only at the shrine of perfect Love Which is God's light within the soul,

Can the human spirit upward move Or know of its appointed goal?

Bending as now the angels bend, Around that Light that veiled from Earth,

Whose angels on your paths attend Preparing for the glad New Birth.

So worlds and systems sink from sight Before that perfect, abiding light.

One in the light of Truth and Love, One in the soul's own prophecy,

Ye children of the New Light move Toward that Divine Futurity.

And your footsteps ever thither tend Where the Angels at that altar bend;

All doubt and darkness cast aside All revelation made complete,

The glories of the incoming tide

Around your ways mingle and meet

Expectant now each soul abides Where only is found the light above.

And where God's presence only presides The perfect Shrine and Altar of Love.
