Osire said: In the name of Jehovih, peace be unto thee! To which Daveas replied: Nay,<br \/>\nin the name of Apollo, who I am! How darest thou approach, save to crawl on thy belly?<br \/>\nFour hundred years hath the honor of my kingdom been revered by all visiting Gods; but<br \/>\nthou comest as a barbarian. Down, wretch! Erst I have thee bound and cast in prison!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Osire said: Why should I not come before thee? Behold, the Great Spirit created the<br \/>\nwhole universe for His Sons and Daughters. By what right hast thou usurped a portion?<br \/>\nAnd whence thy authority to bid me kneel to thee? But if thou canst show me wherein<br \/>\nthou hast one just claim to enslave these people, rather let thy argument run thither, for I<br \/>\nam come in the name of the Father to liberate them, that they may be prepared for the<br \/>\nsecond and third resurrections.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Daveas said: Think not that I have neglected to prepare for rebellious Gods like thou.<br \/>\nBehold my millions of subjects! What is thy handful? Verily, I tell thee I have prisons<br \/>\nlarge enough to hold thee and thy hosts. Neither flatter thyself that I am ignorant. For two<br \/>\nhundred years I wrought in the so-called resurrections; I made myself a slave to the<br \/>\nmultitude, giving all my labor and time. Then I beheld my folly, and so built a third<br \/>\nresurrection myself. This is, therefore, my lawful kingdom. Moreover, I tell thee to thy<br \/>\nface, thou wretch, there is no higher heaven than mine. Neither comest thou from a<br \/>\nheaven great as mine. But having great self-conceit, thou art come for mischief. I have<br \/>\nheard of thee in other heavens! But now thou hast put thy head into the halter. Seize him,<br \/>\nmarshals! Seize him and his hosts! Cast them in prison!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Osire spake not, but raised his hand upward in the seventh sign, and suddenly his hosts<br \/>\ncast forth sheets of light brighter than the sun. Daveas stood back affrighted, and his<br \/>\nmarshals fled. Presently, Osire, with a thousand attendants, stepped forth in flames of<br \/>\nlight, and went up into the capital and surrounded Daveas, the usurper, but touched him<br \/>\nnot. And now the ship was illumined, and lo, the sentinels of Daveas&#8217; Council broke and<br \/>\nfled. Hereupon, Osire spake, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Hand of Thy hand, O Jehovih; voice of Thy voice, overturn Thou this house and<br \/>\nthrone! And, behold, the light of the upper heavens rested in Osire&#8217;s palms, and he smote<br \/>\nthe house and the throne, and they tumbled over as straw before a hurricane. Alone stood<br \/>\nDaveas, the evil God, half speechless and half blinded by the great Light of Jehovih.<br \/>\nDown! down! said Osire, to the walls and temples of the city. And his hosts concentrated<br \/>\nat any point Osire&#8217;s hand directed; and lo, everything fell and was scattered far.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Meanwhile, the officers of Daveas fled in all directions, save such as were<br \/>\novercome by the light, and these fell and were buried themselves amidst the rubbish.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Hold! Hold! cried Daveas. Give me air! I perish! I am a consuming fire! And he tossed<br \/>\nhis hands aloft; then cringed his face within his glittering robes. And now Osire called<br \/>\nforth thunder and lightning, and sent shafts through, and over, and about the whole<br \/>\nplateau of Vibrahj, and the din and roar confounded all the eight hundred millions of<br \/>\nsouls, so they ran no farther, but stood and waited, watching what should next befall.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Osire halted not, but went forward to a more suitable place, to build his throne.<br \/>\nJehovih! Almighty! he cried: Elements of Thy elements, O Father! Found here a throne<br \/>\nfor Thy Son! And even so, for whilst his words went forth, the elements rose to do his<br \/>\nwill, and there raised a most excellent throne, strong and adamantine, on which Osire<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">ascended. Daveas had fallen flat down, weeping and wailing; but Osire, by a motion of<br \/>\nthe hand, called Wang-te, a most enlightened archangel, with her attendants, to bear him<br \/>\nhence, the which was quickly done.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Quickly, now, the place being cleared, the hosts of Osire fenced around a sufficient<br \/>\nspace for a city of a thousand million souls, with pillars of light, as brilliant as an<br \/>\narc in the etherean firmament. Hereat, Osire appointed Klesta, Dawn Goddess, and<br \/>\nhe gave her a council of fifty thousand ethereans. Outside of the walls of the pillars<br \/>\nof agni were Daveas and his eight hundred million subjects, in dire confusion.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Wang-te, the archangel, said to Daveas: In thine own falsehood thou art favored to<br \/>\nfree thyself awhile, to organize a new kingdom, but in holiness, and return and command<br \/>\nobedience from this smothering host. Behold, thou has taught them to believe thou art<br \/>\nApollo; say to them now: I am not Apollo! I have been false!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Daveas madly replied: Never! Jehovih and His kingdoms accursed be forever! Ye<br \/>\nstrange spirits, come from far-off kingdoms, to despoil and overturn the most righteous<br \/>\nplace in heaven! Are Jehovih and His servants destroyers! To which Wang-te replied:<br \/>\nThis is no time for argument; behold here these countless millions! If I withdraw from<br \/>\nthee, and my attendants also withdraw, thou wilt be as one drowned amidst this sea of<br \/>\nignorance and horrid smells. Assume at once, for pity&#8217;s sake, to purge thyself of thy lifelong falsehoods and treacherous tyranny. Announce thyself as Daveas, as thou art, and I can save thee!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Daveas rudely thrust her aside, saying: Never! I acknowledge to none! If there be a<br \/>\nhigher heaven, I will ascend thither as I am, Apollo! Apollo! Wang-te said: Put me not<br \/>\noff, in Jehovih&#8217;s name! Remember what thou art, and of the little thou hast seen, how<br \/>\npowerless thou art before Omnipotence! Thy fate is like that of all dictators, on the verge<br \/>\nof a chasm of horrors. Daveas waited not to hear her further, but proclaimed aloud,<br \/>\nApollo! Apollo! and stood aside. And presently his former officers rushed to him, and<br \/>\nwith that came the sea of millions of spirits, unorganized, unwashed, unfed, frightened<br \/>\nand mad, for love of the name Apollo, the meaning of which they knew not; and they<br \/>\nbecame as a knot of serpents, entwined around the central figure, Daveas and his<br \/>\nofficers. And in the terrible brawl not one voice could be distinguished from another.<br \/>\nAnd the outer extreme pressed inward, on every side, and presently the eight hundred<br \/>\nmillions were as a ball, a knot of darkness, with a dull and rumbling moan within,<br \/>\nand fearful clamor on the surface, from which horrid smells issued in all directions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Wang-te and her attendants hastened back to the throne of Osire, Son of Jehovih, to<br \/>\ntell what had happened. Osire said: What shall I do, O Father? Then the Light of Jehovih<br \/>\ncame, and Jehovih spake, saying: Consider My Creation, My son. The young child I made<br \/>\nto fall with few bruises; but the full-grown man falleth heavily. Shall I make a separate<br \/>\nrule to favor kings and queens on the earth, and false Gods in heaven? Nay, verily.<br \/>\nBehold, I will make of Daveas an example in heaven, and on earth, also. Because he hath<br \/>\nspurned his own name, so will I make both angels and mortals to curse and shun the<br \/>\nname, Daveas.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Osire said: Proceed ye with my kingdom, in the name of the father. Let Daveas rest<br \/>\nawhile as he is.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. At that, Osire departed, taking the remainder of his hosts with him in his fire-ship;<br \/>\nand he went to a heavenly place to the westward, where was Seru, a false God, with<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">ten millions of slaves; and Osire destroyed Seru&#8217;s kingdom also. Next, he went to a<br \/>\nheavenly place in the north, where Raka, a false God, had seventy millions of slaves; and<br \/>\nOsire destroyed his kingdom also, liberating his slaves, and putting a guard over Raka.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Thus went Osire throughout atmospherea, demolishing all the heavenly kingdoms<br \/>\nof the false Gods, of whom there were, in all, seven hundred and eighty; but many<br \/>\nof them had not a million of subjects. Thirty days, in all, was Osire engaged in<br \/>\ndestroying the evil kingdoms in the lower heavens, and then the work was finished.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Osire said to his hosts: For thirty days we labored in destroying that which was; now<br \/>\nwill we rebuild to Jehovih for another thirty days. Take the ship, therefore, to Vibrahj, for<br \/>\nthither will I found my central kingdom. And after we shall have completed the work of<br \/>\nstarting the second resurrection on a sure foundation, then will we go down to the earth<br \/>\nand overturn the kingdoms of the false Lords and men.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 6<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Jehovih said: Vibrahj shall be My place; thy throne, Osire, shall be My throne. Send<br \/>\nsheriffs out into all the divisions of heaven where thou hast destroyed the evil kingdoms.<br \/>\nAnd thy sheriffs shall arrest all the false Gods whom thou hast dispossessed, and bring<br \/>\nthem hither, that I may speak with them face to face.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Then spake Osire to the sheriffs, saying: Go ye out into all the divisions of<br \/>\natmospherea, and arrest and bring hither all the false Gods whom I have dethroned,<br \/>\nsaying to each of them: Osire, God of the lower heavens, commandeth my presence.<br \/>\nCome thou, and hear the voice of thy Creator. But it shall happen that many will fear to<br \/>\ncome, because of the light, lest their evil deeds be seen; say to all such: The light will be<br \/>\nlowered for a short space of time; come, therefore, quickly.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. To all the knots, where the false Gods are enveloped, shall ye take umbrae, a<br \/>\nsufficiency, that ye may release them. But leave ye with the knot a sufficient guard to<br \/>\nkeep them in their places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. The sheriffs went abroad, as commanded, being sufficiently provided with attendants<br \/>\nand all things required for such adventures; and after many days the false Gods were<br \/>\narrested and brought before the throne of God, Osire, Jehovih&#8217;s Son. And there were<br \/>\nassembled, on that occasion, one hundred thousand archangels, of whom two thousand<br \/>\nhad risen to the rank of Gods and Goddesses, and thirty thousand to the rank of Lords and<br \/>\nLordesses.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Osire said to the false ones: Brothers, greeting, in the name of Jehovih! Nor shall ye<br \/>\nfear, nor be expectant of torture or punishment. Though I come in All Power, my words<br \/>\nshall be tempered with wisdom. But I can be no respecter of persons, nor swerve one jot<br \/>\nor tittle from Jehovih&#8217;s commandments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. The bondage of all men was in the Father; for, before ye were conscious individuals,<br \/>\nJehovih stretched forth His hand, and ye came forth from Void, which was your prison in<br \/>\nwhich your selves had been as nothing.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. In likeness of the Father, I came to deliver them ye had bounden; and through Him<br \/>\nhave I attained power to that end. So, in likeness of Him, also, I cannot bind you, or cast<br \/>\nyou in prison. Nay, my sheriffs have just delivered you from bondage, and I am now<br \/>\nholding you free from the knots.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Most of ye are learned men of the second resurrection; but ye have used your wisdom<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">for self-glorification, being proud to call yourselves Gods; not to teach them of Jehovih<br \/>\nand His kingdoms, but falsely teaching that your own kingdoms were the All Highest,<br \/>\nthereby shutting out the true light from the unlearned.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Jehovih hath blessed you all with strong minds and handsome forms, whereupon, ye<br \/>\nhave each of you falsely proclaimed ye were Apollo. Think not that this matter was not<br \/>\nknown in high heaven. I have here the reports of swift messengers, which were brought to<br \/>\nme in the firmament above. I came not in ignorance of what ye were doing; neither came I<br \/>\nin weakness. More than a hundred thousand millions, who have been raised up to etherea<br \/>\nfrom the earth and its heavens, stand at my side. Besides these, a million times as many<br \/>\nethereans, from other worlds; and above all of these, the Great Orian Chiefs; and yet<br \/>\nbeyond, and over all, Great Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Have I not proved my power before you all? Did I go away in a corner and say:<br \/>\nCome, I will show you my power? Nay, I came close to you all. As the Father<br \/>\nfirst proveth power, so have I. After that, wisdom. That I may talk to you in wisdom,<br \/>\nI had you arrested and brought hither. Hear me then, and remember my words.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. In former cycles, the high Gods who descended to these heavens, finding false Gods,<br \/>\nsimply liberated their slaves, but put no labor of restitution on the false Gods. This<br \/>\nwas because the false Gods of those periods were too imbecile and unlearned. But<br \/>\nthe earth and her heavens have progressed to a higher state. And with progression<br \/>\ncometh, also, responsibility. With learning cometh responsibility; and with wisdom, also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Ye bound your subjects to your kingdoms; and ye perceive, now, ye cannot put them<br \/>\naside. Ye taught them your kingdoms were the All Highest; they must now be unlearned.<br \/>\nYe taught them that ye were the All Highest Gods! They must be unlearned in this, also.<br \/>\nYe put aside the ancient rites and ceremonies, wherein the name of Jehovih was used,<br \/>\nteaching them to sing to you, only. They must be taught new songs, substituting the Great<br \/>\nSpirit, to Whom none can attain, forever. Ye taught them to be unthinking, and contented<br \/>\nas slaves; they must now be taught to think for themselves, and to labor for everlasting<br \/>\nliberty.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. And now, touching the law of the resurrection, remember ye, this is the same in all the<br \/>\ncreated worlds; which is, that the spirit of man groweth by giving away of whatsoever the<br \/>\nspirit hath to give. If ye have great learning, and ye give of it, then shall more learning be<br \/>\nadded unto you; if ye have goodness of heart, and gentle words, then, by giving this away,<br \/>\nmore shall be added unto you; if ye have craft in inventions or mechanics, and ye bestow<br \/>\nof these talents unto others, then will more be added unto you. As the corporean man<br \/>\naccumulateth corporeal things by not giving them away, not so accumulateth the spirit of<br \/>\nany man.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. For he who locketh up the light of the Father that is in him, cannot obtain more light;<br \/>\nhe who locketh up goodness of heart, cannot obtain strength of spirit. And without<br \/>\nstrength of spirit, no man can attain to the third resurrection. But, that men may learn to<br \/>\nobtain strength of spirit, the second resurrection has been established in atmospherea<br \/>\nbelonging to all the habitable corporeal worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. The chief delight of man shall be, therefore, to find some way to impart his spiritual<br \/>\ntalents and strength, and to the greatest possible number of people. Think not that<br \/>\npreaching to the ignorant is sufficient; but ye shall take hold with your own hands and<br \/>\nshow them how to accomplish. Yet not labor alone; for some are so created that ye cannot<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">inspire them without rites and ceremonies and music.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Nor shall a man, after having taught and raised up a few, say: Behold, what a good<br \/>\nwork I have done! But as long as he findeth a man, or woman, or child, who lacketh in<br \/>\nanything, he shall feel to say: Alas, what I have done is as nothing in the resurrection of<br \/>\nmy fellows.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. For the rule holdeth for all men alike, to desire exaltation, and everlasting liberty, and<br \/>\nunlimited power; and unless ye are prepared to give even these unto others, then ye<br \/>\ncannot attain them yourselves. Neither is it possible for man to turn away from<br \/>\nresponsibility; to whom the Father hath given, from him the Father requireth. Ye have<br \/>\nhad your kingdoms. Yea, and boasted of them. Your boasts have ascended to etherea.<br \/>\nWill ye go thither and be asked: Where is thy kingdom? Shall it be said ye shirked from<br \/>\nthe care of them the Father gave into your keeping?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Bethink ye, O brothers! When the conscience of man turneth inward, there is still<br \/>\ndarkness slumbering in his soul. The etherean lights will burn him. He whose conscience<br \/>\nno longer burned inward, becometh himself a brilliant flame of light. Through him<br \/>\nJehovih speaketh.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Osire ceased; and now a brilliant light descended around about the throne, and<br \/>\npresently Jehovih spake through Osire, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Times and half-times have I given to My corporeal worlds and their heavens. In a<br \/>\ntime have I made a full resurrection to those who aspire to My heavens above. Nor do I<br \/>\ngo away from any place I created, saying: Go thou alone for a season. But in a time I<br \/>\nmanifest a new light, for such, also, are My creations. Think not that I have given seasons<br \/>\nto corporeal worlds only; I gave seasons to atmospherea, also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Is not a summer on the earth half a time? And the winter half a time? And the two,<br \/>\none full time? So created I for atmospherea a time of four hundred years, and a halftime of two hundred years. And in seven times and one half-time created I one dan&#8217;ha.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. I sent my Gods to teach these things since thousands of years; whereby My angels<br \/>\nmight know the times of My resurrections. Hath not a farmer knowledge of the<br \/>\nresurrection of spring, when I cover the earth over with new-growing things which I raise<br \/>\nup out of the earth? How much more knowledge should my angels have of my springtimes, in atmospherea, when My archangels come to gather in My harvests of emancipated souls.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. I commanded My etherean hosts, saying: Go ye to the lower heaven and teach them<br \/>\nthere is no such thing as individual resurrection. And they came proclaiming My word,<br \/>\nshowing all people that any number of individuals were as nothing unless united, which is<br \/>\nthe salvation I provided unto all My worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. For I created progress to be in compact; nor gave I to any person individual salvation<br \/>\nor resurrection. That men might learn the advantage of compact, I caused mortals to have<br \/>\ncorporeal languages, and to live in cities. That ye in atmospherea might learn the All<br \/>\nPerfection of being one with one another, I gave you the second resurrection; teaching<br \/>\nyou, through My Gods and Lords, to abnegate self-aspiration, for self-aspiration is at<br \/>\nthe expense of others; but commanding ye to learn to assimilate with one another.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. And I gave rites and ceremonies, amongst which was the oath of service unto Me<br \/>\nand My kingdoms, and unto none other, wherein many bound themselves, which was,<br \/>\nand is, the beginning of liberty. Touching which matter, I created types on earth and in<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">the lower heavens, that even the unlearned might understand Me and My works.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. For to him that begetteth children gave I bondage, to them and to him conjointly. But<br \/>\nthis is a bondage that circumventeth not liberty in time to come, for they can ascend to<br \/>\nheaven, and progress conjointly, better than alone. But some gave themselves up to love<br \/>\nearthly things, such as houses, and money, and kingdoms, which things have no<br \/>\nresurrection. Hence, such bondage holdeth the person after death to the thing he loved.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. In type of which, many have set up kingdoms in the lower heavens, binding<br \/>\nthemselves to things that have no higher resurrection, which things belong on the plateau<br \/>\nof atmospherea where I created them. But to them who have bound themselves to their<br \/>\nfellows, saying: I am the salvation! it is like a young man saying to a maiden: Come, I<br \/>\nwill be thy husband. And she goeth to him in confidence. Here, then, is bondage; and she<br \/>\nholdeth him as the way of her salvation. Wherein, not he alone can annul that which hath<br \/>\nbeen united, nor yet they twain; for, by their bondage, I am also a party to the contract.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. In which manner, they that assume kingdoms, professing to be Gods of salvation, and<br \/>\nthus enticing My innocent ones unto themselves, become bound, not only to<br \/>\ntheir subjects, but to the contract of deliverance unto salvation; for so, created I them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. The Voice ceased, and Osire said: If a man wed a woman with an evil temper, his<br \/>\nglory lieth not in going away from her, but in teaching her to overcome her temper; or, if<br \/>\nher husband be evil, her glory lieth not in going away from him, but in reforming him.<br \/>\nRather is it wise to accomplish whatever work Jehovih hath put in thy way, than to desert<br \/>\nit for sake of personal comfort.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. Nevertheless, there is a limit to all things, save Jehovih; and to the wise there is power<br \/>\nto accomplish much that seemeth impossible at first. Hear ye, then, my judgment upon<br \/>\nyou, which is that:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. Ye shall again assume kingdoms, and every one shall have all the subjects he had<br \/>\nbefore. And ye shall be provided with places and thrones by my archangels, and with<br \/>\ncouncils of my archangels also. And I will give to each and every one of you an assistant<br \/>\nGod, who shall sit on your right hand for four years, the time of this dawn, teaching how<br \/>\nto teach, and what to teach.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. My hosts will now conduct you to the places prepared for you, around which are<br \/>\nerected walls of agni. And when ye are safely seated on your thrones, your former<br \/>\nsubjects shall be brought before you in groups, and adjudged to the labor, and to the<br \/>\nschools, and such other places as are suited to them, according to their strength and<br \/>\ntalents.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. And I pronounce it upon you, that ye shall deliver your respective subjects sufficiently<br \/>\nfor the third resurrection. Wherein, according to your zeal and faithfulness, will my hosts<br \/>\nlabor with you, to the end that Jehovih may be glorified in your harvests for the<br \/>\nemancipated worlds. Attend, therefore, to give the sign, I<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">N <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH\u2019S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">N<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AME<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and receive<br \/>\nye ordination from my hands, by the power and wisdom of the Great Spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34.
