11 We know that light is coming o’er the hills. God speed the light.
12 Matheno said, Behold this land of mystery! this Egypt of the dead!
13 Our temples long have been the tombs of all the hidden things of time; our temples, crypts and caves are dark.
14 In light there are no secret things. The sun reveals all hidden truth. There are no mysteries in God.
15 Behold the rising sun! His beams are entering every door; yea, every crevice of the mystic crypts of Mizraim.
16 We hail the light! All Egypt craves the light.
17 And Philo said, The need of Hebrew thought and life is liberty.
18 The Hebrew prophets, seers, and givers of the law, were men of power, men of holy thought, and they bequeathed to us a system of philosophy that was ideal; one strong enough and good enough to lead our people to the goal of perfectness.
19 But carnal minds repudiated holiness; a priesthood filled with selfishness arose, and purity in heart became a myth; the people were enslaved.
20 The priesthood is the curse of Israel; but when he comes, who is to come, he will proclaim emancipation for the slaves; my people will be free.
