Consider, that the Apostles of Christ were few in number,
but because they were filled to overflowing with His Graces, and the essence of
His Advice and Commandments was circulating, like unto the spirit, through
their veins and arteries, to such an extent that one could find nothing else
throughout their beings save His Love, and they girded up the loins of endeavor
to convey the Message. Now it has become manifest what a tremendous effect and
result their services produced! We must also act accordingly and follow in
their footsteps.
