a citizen of the Creator's heavenly Kingdom, you will no longer be servants, but
children of the living God.

As a Candidate for Ordination you have been appointed and chosen as God's
messenger and ambassador. It will not be so much by the words you speak as
by the life you live; that you will teach others the path to the Kingdom of God.
You will be in a class separate and distinct from most others on earth. You no

longer are an inhabitant of earth among the other inhabitants; but are an
enlightened citizen of another heavenly country. It is not enough that you live
as you were before this appointment, but henceforth must live as those who

have tasted the glories of a better life, and have been sent as an ambassador of

peacemakers, they will truly be children of God.

You are also charged to be a living example of God's will, and as such should
love, pray for, and do good to your enemies, and those who curse you. Be
merciful, even as God is merciful, and in the eternal future of the kingdom, you

shall be perfect, even as your heavenly Creator is perfect. You are
commissioned to save men, not to judge them.

Discern the truth clearly, live the righteous life fearlessly; and you surely shall

be God's true ambassador. If you would guide others into the kingdom, you
