Sida 462 - ... 4. This sacrifice, and this only, shall I make to existing prejudices. But I shall never endeavour to deceive any one as to my religious opinions, and never stoop to equivocation or hypocrisy, in order to avoid unpopularity.
Sida 92 - SEN, a servant of God, CALLED to be AN APOSTLE of THE CHURCH of THE NEW DISPENSATION, WHICH IS IN THE HOLY CITY OF CALCUTTA, the METROPOLIS OF ARYAVARTA. To all the great nations in the world and to the chief religious sects in the east and the west. To the followers of Moses, of Jesus, of Buddha, of Confucius, of Zoroaster, of Mahomet, of Nanac, and to the various branches of the Hindu Church.
Sida 68 - A prayer was then offered, asking the Lord to bless the sacramental rice and water : — Touch this rice and this water, O Holy Spirit, and turn their grossly material substance into sanctifying spiritual forces, that they may upon entering our system be assimilated to it as the flesh and blood of all the saints in Christ Jesus. Satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls with the rich food and drink thou hast placed before us. Invigorate us with Christ-force, nourish us with saintly life.

Sida 94 - Every saint, every prophet, and every martyr ye shall honour and love as a man of God. Gather ye the wisdom of the East and the West ; and accept and assimilate the examples of the saints of all ages. So that the most fervent devotion, the deepest communion, the most self-denying asceticism, the warmest philanthropy, the strictest justice and veracity, and the highest purity of the best men in the world may be yours. Above all, love one another, and merge all differences in universal brotherhood....
Sida 36 - Tell all people to come direct to me, without a mediator or intercessor, and accept me as their Mother. The influence of the earthly mother at home and of the queen mother at the head of the Government will raise the hearts of my Indian children to the Supreme Mother, and I will gather them in the Kmgdom of Heaven, and give them peace and salvation. Soldiers, fight bravely and establish my dominion.
Sida 54 - Only science can deliver the world, and bring light and order out of the chaos and darkness of multiplied churches. If there is science in all things, is there no science in the dispensations of God ? Do these alone, in God's creation, stand beyond the reign of law and order ?
