"These words I now say for newly comprehending man of his new cycle. "Love ye one another all men; for ye are one in me. "Whatsoe'er ye do to one in Me ye do to all; for all are one in Me. "Love thy brother as thy self. Serve thy brother before thyself. Lift high thy brother. Lift him to high pinnacles for thy brother is thyself. "For of a varity, I say love of self, or nation of selves turneth neighbor against neighbor, and nation against nation. Self love breeds hate and soeth its seed in all winds to blow where'er it will. Wherefore, say I love of neighbor for neighbor, and nation for nation, uniteth all men as one. "Serve first thy brother. Hurt first thyself, rather than thy neighbor. Gain naught from him unbalanced by thy giving. Protect thou the weak with thy strength, for if thou use thy strength against him his weakness will prevail against thee, and thy strength will avail thee naught. "He who giveth love prosperth mightily; but he who taketh aught gaineth naught. "Why for loose all to gain the world gaining naught. "He who hath not laid a treasure in heaven to equal treasure gained of earth has sought the dark. "For him the Light is far.
