I conclude, dear brothers and sisters, by saying that standing on this foundation, looking into one another's faces in the spirit and realization of true religion, if the past is glorious, the future, both for you and for us, will be more glorious. We need but to become better acqaivted with one another and with the holy truths of universal religion, to enter upon paths of progress and spirituality, which, leading us out of the material and transitory, shall bring us into the perfect state where conflict and antagonisms and evil passions shall never enter. To aid in bringing about this needful condition, and to discover the true methods of its attainment, we may be' missionaries to one another in a truer sense, in a better sense and even in a holier sense, than that word has ever been interpreted to mean. By recognizing the right relations we shall come upon the right method, and in the unity of the spirit, we sball have the bond of peace which is brotherhood, out of which shall come communions, spiritual especially, which sball increase unto the perfect day and the perfected life, for all living beings.
