"PEACE EVERYONE! Good Health, Good Will, and a Good Appetite for all of the Inhabitants of Washington City, the same as for New York. All of these blessings are for you, if you will live Evangelical, but you cannot come into possession of them unless you bring your bodies into subjection to the Life and the Teaching of CHRIST, the Author and the Finisher of all of these good blessings.
"...I need not say so much in Words, as I have long since said, and still AM Saying, I will preach CHRIST in Words partially only, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY Spirit in them and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. For this cause we will be speaking to you in our very Invisible Presence. By the Presence of GOD, transmitingly, to you as to others, this Presence is Sufficient to speak silently and secretly, when you are sleeping in your dreams. It can and will speak, when you are sleeping, when you are not dreaming. When you arise in the morning you will be thinking somewhat differently.
"I Said the other day, in coming to Washington, D.C., MY endeavors were, to create an atmosphere of enthusiasm, and stir the spirit of merriness in the hearts and lives of the people, that they might be partakers of the CHRIST'S Characteristics,--and also to contagionize the atmosphere of Washington, D.C., with the very Spirit of GOD'S Presence, that this great contagion might catch the White House on Fire, that the Spirit of GOD'S Presence might speak in the President, and act in the officials. It is indeed wonderful!
"Why do I Say, that it might speak in the President and act in the officials? It is because it is transmittable! It is because it is reincarnatable! It is because it is personifiable! Therefore, this Truth and this Mind, shall be universally Personified. By its being universally Personified, it will bring all nations, languages, tongues and people together, that they might
'Love ye one another.'
"This is a Sample, this is an Example, I have brought to Washington, as a Sample for all of humanity, as the Personifier of the Brotherly Love of the Universal Brotherhood of Man. When this shall have been established in the Capitol of our great Country, then and there, there will be no more race-riots and wars, among the people. "
