| | Blessed is he that readeth, |
| | and they that hear the words of this prophecy, |
| | and keep those things which are written therein: |
| | for the time is at hand.--Revelation. |
| | Great is the Lord, |
| | and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, |
| | in the mountain of His holiness.--Psalms. |
| 1 | St. John writes, in the tenth chapter of his book of |
| | Revelation:-- |
| 3 | And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, |
| | clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and |
| | his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of |
| 6 | fire: and he had in his hand a little book open: and he |
| | set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the |
| | earth. |
| 9 | This angel or message which comes from God, clothed |
| | with a cloud, prefigures divine Science. To mortal sense |
| | Science seems at first obscure, abstract, and | The new Evangel |
| 12 | dark; but a bright promise crowns its brow. |
| | When understood, it is Truth's prism and praise. When |
| | you look it fairly in the face, you can heal by its means, |
| 15 | and it has for you a light above the sun, for God "is the |
| | light thereof." Its feet are pillars of fire, foundations |
| | of Truth and Love. It brings the baptism of the Holy |
| 18 | Ghost, whose flames of Truth were prophetically de- |
| | scribed by John the Baptist as consuming error. |
