In the time of Jesus Christ there was an outpouring of the
Light from East to West that brought the people under a heavenly banner and
illumined them with divine insight. Western lands have been kindled by the
Light of the Christ. I pray earnestly that the Light in this advanced age will
so illumine the world that all may rally under the banner of Unity and receive
Spiritual education.
