“The Master speaks a various language, and He uses different channels for His differing needs. Knew ye not My presence yesterday in your turmoil in the midst of a calm? I bring to you your guide, who is My child Zermoth. Zermoth will guide you and instruct in My absence. Him will I direct. Thus through him will I guide you. He will write for you the message I desire to give to others. Fear not and distrust not. You were brought here for no idle purpose, but as a lamp set in a dark room. So let your light shine through the gloom. Keep thou in touch with my children, through whom you have met Me. They will help and together we will spread the Message throughout the land. I will send you a token that you may know you are of the chosen band. It will come in due season. So fret not nor grow weary. You are a link now grown strong to bind the worlds together. Listen to Zermoth, and write what he says. My blessing rests upon you as I leave.
