She tiptoed to the bed, and stood looking down upon the stranger for whom, without a shadow of reason, one would have said, she had violated one of the most deeply rooted principles of her seventy years.
For thirty years He summoned the people unto Thee, publicly, privately, and spread Thy Teachings and Thy principles to every corner, every country of the earth. Night and day, He fostered Thy loved ones in the cradle of divine knowledge and wisdom, and endowed them with the qualities of the spirit.
