Every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God is
endowed with such potency as can instill new life into every human frame, if ye
be of them that comprehend this truth. All the wondrous works ye behold in this
world have been manifested through the operation of His supreme and most
exalted Will, His wondrous and inflexible Purpose. Through the mere revelation
of the word "Fashioner," issuing forth from His lips and proclaiming
His attribute to mankind, such power is released as can generate, through
successive ages, all the manifold arts which the hands of man can produce.
This, verily, is a certain truth. No sooner is this resplendent word uttered,
than its animating energies, stirring within all created things, give birth to
the means and instruments whereby such arts can be produced and perfected. All
the wondrous achievements ye now witness are the direct consequences of the
Revelation of this Name. In the days to come, ye will, verily, behold things of
which ye have never heard before.
