The century has come when all religions shall be unified. (370:2) The dispensation is at hand when all nations shall enjoy the blessings of international peace. (370:3) The cycle has arrived when racial prejudice will be abandoned by tribes and peoples of the world. (370:4) The epoch has begun wherein all native lands will be conjoined in one great human family. (370:5) For all mankind shall dwell in peace and security beneath the shelter of the great tabernacle of the one living God. (370:6) 25 October 1912, 5 Talks at Hotel Sacramento, Sacramento, California - Notes by Bijou Straun (370:7) When Christ appeared, certain blessed souls followed His example. They were with their Master, ever watching and observing His conduct, movements and thoughts. They witnessed the persecutions which were heaped upon Him and were informed of all the events appertaining to that marvelous life-- recipients of His kindness and favors. After the ascension of Christ they hastened to various regions of the world, scattering broadcast the teachings and instructions which He had given them. Through their devotion and efforts other places and remote nations became informed of the principles revealed by Him. (370:8) Through their instrumentality the East was illumined, and the light which flooded the East flooded the West. This light was the cause of guiding great hosts of people. It proved to be a preventive of warfare in many instances. This is evidenced in the unification and conjoining of various nations which had formerly been hostile to each other-- such as the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Syrians, Chaldeans and Assyrians. Through Christ the oneness of the world of humanity received its expression and proved to be the cause of spiritual illumination for mankind. The breaths of the Holy Spirit became effective in the hearts of people.
(370:9)
