May the peace of the Great White Spirit bless you all. Let us follow our usual procedure and put on one side any thoughts of trouble, difficulty and fear. Let us try to achieve the closest possible harmony with one another, so that we can become one, and desire to aspire to the highest that we can reach, and none, and nothing, can be higher than the Great White Spirit, that Infinite Power, the Divine Love and Wisdom, which is responsible for the boundless Universe in which we live, and whose Intelligence has derived and sustains all the Natural Laws that control and regulate every facet of being; whether mighty or minute, complex or simple, all operate according to the inexorable laws that know no possible exception.

We pay tribute to this Supreme Power, which has revealed some of it's wondrous Truths that have extended the boundaries of our knowledge, and given us a greater comprehension of who and what we are, and a clearer picture of the Supreme Power, that wills us through all and reigneth over all. And in this wondrous scheme, nothing and nobody can be overlooked, forgotten or neglected. Care has been taken to sustain and provide every facet of being, no matter where it may be.

We recognise too that we have behind us all the time, the mighty host of liberated beings, whose one desire is to serve us, so that we in turn may serve others less fortunate than we are. Because we have been helped, and comforted and guided, let us always resolve that we may unfold whatever gifts have been bestowed upon us, so that we can give service to the bereaved, healing to the sick, guidance to the perplexed, strength to the weary, direction to all those who have lost their way and to guide the radiant illumination of Truth in the darkness that engulfs them.

This is the prayer of Thy Indian Servant, who seeks always to serve.
