"'Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "'And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me." Teach your children to think of and to love the divine Soul that pleaded their cause. Teach them that in all the words He uttered there can be found only love for them. No threats, no warnings only love.
Whoso attaineth unto a Soul clear and enduring as diamond shall testify unto his thankfulness for the limitless grace of the Blessed One, for even the testimony and the safeguarding that he hath of all the Buddhas proceed only from the fulfilment of His most merciful promise.
And whoso falleth not down and worshipeth shall the same hour be cast into a burning fiery furnace." The heralds returned to their places, and their voices were no longer heard. The grand signal was given! The musical instruments poured forth their loud strains, and the great mass fell prostrate before the glittering idol.

He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
