STEADFASTNESS.

TRUTHFULNESS. Truthfulness is the foundation of all the virtues of the

world of humanity. Without truthfulness, progress and success in all of

the worlds of God are impossible for a soul. When this holy attribute is

established in man, all the divine qualities will also become realized.

UPRIGHTNESS. And this is one of the greatest divine attainments.

FIDELITY. This is also a beautiful trait of the heavenly man.

EVANESCENCE or Humility. That is to say, man must become evanescent in

God. Must forget his own selfish conditions that he may thus arise to the

station of sacrifice. It should be to such a degree that if he sleep, it

should not be for pleasure, but to rest the body in order to do better, to

speak better, to explain more beautifully, to serve the servants of God

and to prove the truths. When he remains awake, he should seek to be

attentive, serve the Cause of God and sacrifice his own stations for those

of God. When he attains to this station, the confirmations of the Holy

Spirit will surely reach him, and man with this power can withstand all

who inhabit the earth.
