Humanity may be likened to a tree. This tree has branches, leaves, buds and fruit. Think of all men as being flowers, leaves or buds of this tree, and try to help each and all to realize and enjoy God's blessings. God neglects none: He loves all. (170:4) The only real difference that exists between people is that they are at various stages of development. Some are imperfect-- these must be brought to perfection. Some are asleep-- they must be awakened; some are negligent-- they must be roused; but one and all are the children of God. Love them all with your whole heart; no one is a stranger to the other, all are friends. Tonight I come to say farewell to you-- but bear this in your minds, that although our bodies may be far apart, in spirit we shall always be together.
(170:5)
