Image Not Available for The Masses; His Reverence: "Thus, friends, we see the masses filled with a vague, unchristian spirit of discontent. They cry out upon work, bewailing their divinely appointed lot, forgetful, my brethren, of the heavenly law which ordains that only through toil and tribulation, by the narrow path of self-denial, may we enter into the higher values of spiritual blessedness...let us pray!"
