THE IMPERSONAL WORK
IN THIS Department will be included teachings and truths for more advanced students, especially for those who have received the monthly lessons of our Readers during the past five years.
Some of our readers perhaps may not be able to grasp these truths, but we urge if so that they reserve them for future study and consideration, as they will contain matter of vital moment to the soul, when it is grown ready to receive and use it as intended.
