Sydney, 7th, April 1920.
The Lord Himself stands behind the all [religions] , and utilizes to the last ounce every thought of devotion and reverence which arises in connection with any of them; and He has been more than gracious and condescending in the help which He has given us with this His latest fledgling. He was so kind as to ask us to place the ritual in His hands, and in a very strange and beautiful way He made its aura or its higher counterpart a kind of coruscating cylinder of light which He the passed between His hands, thereby instantaneously detecting certain flaws in it which He at once pointed out and instructed us to rectify. The fact that He deigned to take this trouble showed to us how keen was His interest in the work which He had given us to do. Also He told us to ask questions from the Master K.H. upon points as to which we were uncertain, and the information which we gained in this way was of the very greatest value to us. Much of it I have incorporated in The Science of Sacraments . Afterwards, when it was going through the press, Wedgwood thought it would be desirable in some ways to alter certain parts of it to make them agree more closely with earlier tradition; but when this was brought before the Lord, He said with a smile: "No; I inspired you rightly at the time; you had better leave it alone". We felt very happy about that, because it seemed to imply that He had thought it worth to set our thoughts moving along the right line from the first.
