The opening
WHISPERS FROM ETERNITY
I was deaf, but Eternity whispered to me uiv ceasingly. My wisdom’s hearing’power slowly left its slumber, and I heard the Whispers of Eternity becoming ever clearer and clearer, in response to my sacred demands.
I asked Eternity—“What do Thy Whispers mean?”
The Whispers grew stronger and stronger until at last, suddenly, Eternity loudly whispered— “Hear, thou, God’s Whispers of Guidance, eter nally. I am His Spokesman—Eternity. I have whispered through thy slumber of ages—‘Wake thyself!’ Now, thou art awake,—and yet My Whispers will never cease to say—‘Wake thy brothers!’ In the nooks of sleeping minds, everywhere. My Whispers are constantly working. Work thou with me, through living, eternal Whispers—that all may hear His Voice.”
I replied to Eternity—“I will send whispers to all sleeping and awakened brothers, saying— ‘Awake! Get ready! Come home where He pipes Perennial Peace!’ And I will borrow Thy Voice, Eternity, when my earthly voice can whisper no more, and then I will still whisper through Thee— ‘O! hear His alhsolacing Song’whispers!’ ”
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
