"STARSHIP"

"THE acts of Him Whom God shall make manifest

are like unto the sun, while the works of men,

provided they conform to the good-pleasure of God,

resemble the stars or the moon...

Thus, should the followers of the Bayan

observe the precepts of Him Whom God

shall make manifest at the time of His appearance,

and regard themselves

and their own works as stars exposed to the light of the sun,

then they will have gathered the fruits of their existence;

otherwise the title of 'starship' will not apply to them.

Rather it will apply to such as truly believe in Him,

to those who pale into insignificance in the day-time

and gleam forth with light in the night season."
