When Christ appeared He manifested Himself at Jerusalem. He
called men to the Kingdom of God, He invited them to Eternal Life and He told
them to acquire human perfections. The Light of Guidance was shed forth by that
radiant Star, and He at length gave His life in sacrifice for humanity.

Paris in 1911-1912’)
