Brothers,
we dont wish to say a great deal
to you at this time, but rather to encourage
you to listen to the voice of the good Spirit
in your own hearts which will teach you
what is right, and as you obey its dictates
will make you feel happy in your selves

will bless you in this world and make
you happy when you die ---
