O thou who hast an illumined heart! Thou art even as the pupil of the eye,
the very wellspring of the light, for God's love hath cast its rays upon
thine inmost being and thou hast turned thy face toward the Kingdom of thy
Lord.
Intense is the hatred, in America, between black and white, but my hope is
that the power of the Kingdom will bind these two in friendship, and serve
them as a healing balm.
Let them look not upon a man's colour but upon his heart. If the heart be
filled with light, that man is nigh unto the threshold of his Lord; but if
not, that man is careless of his Lord, be he white or be he black.
