nobility of your sentiments.
8. Come to All my temple with your hope
and your patience. and do not speak i'll
of the religion of your progenitors, since
the Eternal Father has been their guide
and He has recompensed them with bene-
fees.
o. You must raise the fallen, you must
feed the hungry. and you must succor
the sick II you want to be pure and just
for the day of final judgment.

heart and make for yourselves light OF
good thoughts. or patience ana OF conn.,
dence in your Father
Is. And the sacred vases will be your
hands and your eyes: look around you
and do that which pleases the Lord. since

plish a ceremony which beauties the tenn
pie of Him who has given you life.

resemblance, innocent pure of soul, the
heart full of goodness. and this not only

not approach you to God and you would
fall in that state of moral degradation In
which theft. falsehood and murder seem
almost generous acts.

eternal light the sky very soon will be
serene and the celestial light will expand
over all the earth and the scattered sheep
will reunite around their shepherd.
s. Do not cOrstrain (overdo) yourselves,
while you are in obscurity, to find the
straight path fearing to fall in bitches; re-
unite instead all your powers (strength),
protect (sustain) one another and place all
your confidence in God and wait for the
first light to appear.
0. Who protects (sustains) his neighbor
protects (sustains) also himself. and every
one who protects (sustains) his family pro-
tects (sustains) also his people and his
country.
