Dearly Beloved. To the LIGHT
preacher it is not given to preach
smooth things, and this sermon is
not to rub your fur the wrong way,
but to admonish you against thu
cruelties that are unconsciously
done in the land, this land of so
called christian enlightenment.
Once more is the truth preached
to the Great Congregation of the
LIGHT. Be wise Be instructed
Let the christians in name bite
and devour each other. To you it
is given to prove the richer civil
liization and the ripper culture and
the diviner humanity OF your
developed natures. To you it is
given to more than preach the
gospel of health to the spirits OF
all flesh; to you is given to prsc-
tice those virtues that rebuke the
cruelty and malice of envious
and ignorant natures, which ex-
pect to run up bill with the devil
all their lives and cheat him out
Of it when it comes paying time.
To you is it given to cure the hurt
Of the hearts OF humanity, in
stead Of stabbing souls to their
death.
