The body politic today is greatly in need of a physician. It is similar to
a human body afflicted with severe ailments. A doctor diagnoses the case
and prescribes treatment. He does not prescribe, however, until he has
made the diagnosis. The disease which afflicts the body politic is lack of
love and absence of altruism. In the hearts of men no real love is found,
and the condition is such that, unless their susceptibilities are
quickened by some power so that unity, love and accord may develop within
them, there can be no healing, no agreement among mankind. Love and unity
are the needs of the body politic today. Without these there can be no
progress or prosperity attained. Therefore, the friends of God must adhere
to the power which will create this love and unity in the hearts of the
sons of men. Science cannot cure the illness of the body politic. Science
cannot create amity and fellowship in human hearts. Neither can patriotism
nor racial allegiance effect a remedy. It must be accomplished solely
through the divine bounties and spiritual bestowals which have descended
from God in this day for that purpose. This is an exigency of the times,
and the divine remedy has been provided. The spiritual teachings of the
religion of God can alone create this love, unity and accord in human
hearts.
Therefore, hold to these heavenly agencies which God has provided so that
through the love of God this soul-bond may be established, this
heart-attachment realized and the light of the reality of unity be
reflected from you throughout the universe. If we do not hold fast to
these divine agencies and means, no result will be possible. Let us pray
to God that He will exhilarate our spirits so we may behold the descent of
His bounties, illumine our eyes to witness His great guidance and attune
our ears to enjoy the celestial melodies of the heavenly Word. This is our
greatest hope. This is our ultimate purpose.
