Excerpt from Prometheus in Atlantis: A Prophecy of the Extinction of the Christian Civilization

The only proper care and duty of any of us, is to work out our permitted parts like noble and obedient chil dren, knowing that the bounds are better as the Father has set them, than they would be with the alterations our impatience would make. It is justification that I know that the stainless and regenerate will find some thing here to quicken and enlarge their holy hearts; and as for the rest, if you will each give heed only to what was designed for you, and pass lightly over what may untruly seem to you inopportune or ill-advised, leaving it for yourbrother whose need it may meet, you may rise from the perusal more willing, if no bet ter able, to do and suffer what God and truth require. A mental radius long enough to include an honest loaf of bread and a peacefial cup of cold water, has never covered, and in this world will never cover, any virtu ous interest which would not prosper in the prosperity of Truth; and neither would one that should sweep the last limit of attainment, penetrate beyond the oh ligation of support and assistance to her slenderest utterance. It would be well, then, for you all, without distinction, to exercise now, for a short hour or two, the nobler faculties of your nature, and give the mean ones a little rest. God knows they need it.
