THE GUIDING LIGHT.
1. Now when Athlyi started for Newark, there appeared a spotlight on the
sleeve of his coat.
2. When Athlyi saw the light he tried to cover it with his hat but the
light could not be covered.
3. Then he looked up and yelled joyfully, “It’s the light of the Lord.
Surely it cannot be covered. The light of the Lord our God I shall
follow this day. Indeed I will not stray.”
4. Athlyi journeyed to Newark and the light with him.
5. But when he turned contrary to the will of God, the light would not
follow but stood on another street.
6. Now when Athlyi saw the light would not go he turned and went the way
the light pointed him.
7. And it came to pass when Athlyi reached the city of Newark he
prepared a house for the Lord our God and when he was making ready for
the first sermon, a little girl opened the door and stared plumply into
his face and uttered “Gaathly”. “Is your name Gaathly?” the Shepherd
asked.
8. The child then raised her voice and again said “Gaathly,” and went
out.
9. Straightway a light flashed and Athlyi looked around. He beheld over
the altar a hand, writing on the wall the name Gaathly.
10. When Athlyi saw the hand on the wall he became very fearful but
embroiled with joy.
11. He then rushed into the inner chamber and proclaimed before his wife
Miriam and his daughter Muriel, the name of Gaathly saying, “Behold, a
hand wrote it and the child revealed it as the Lord had promised.”
13. From that day unto this the holy house founded upon the Gospel of
God through Athlyi is known as the Gaathly.
