Thou must live in such a spiritual condition that thy very
presence in the meetings may transform the audiences into the congregations of
the elect and set aglow in their hearts the fire of the Love of God. Exalt thy
ambition! Universalize thy ideals! Spread thy wings of compassion over all the
regions of the globe.
