A Plea for the Creatures

And so my final appeal is to you, my reader, whoever you may be. Would you be one of the sons of God? Would you manifest in and through yourself the Divine pity, sympathy, and love? Would you attain to the Angelic condition, and minister even as heaven ministers to you? Then recognise your kinship to the races beneath you, and realise your responsibility towards them. Eat them not any more than you would your own kith and kin. Recognise that in many of them there is a brother or sister soul. Know through sympathy with them how truly and keenly they feel, and raise your voice against the sufferings inflicted upon them by a false science. Be to them as you would have the Angels be to you! Protect them with the wings of your pity, even as you would have God spread His Presence over you. So shall you be helped up to the Angelic! The Divine! To become One with God!
