13. From that day unto this the holy house founded upon the Gospel of God through Athlyi is known as the Gaathly.
CHAPTER 13.
ATHLYI BLEEDS.
1. And it came to pass on the third Saturday night of the seventh month of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, the word of the Lord came to Athlyi saying, “Tomorrow, thou shalt with thine own blood set apart the Athlians from the rest of the world’s inhabitants, that I may glory in them and nourish them.
2. “I shall send my angels and they shall dwell among the Athlians and teach them new things. Verily, the women as well as the men shall develop great in science.
3. “Fear not, because of the inventions of today,” saith the Lord, “for greater shall come out of my people, the Athlians. They shall school Ethiopia. Consequently the sons and daughters of Ham shall be a burning light unto all the earth.”
4. On the next day which was Sunday, while the Shepherd Athlyi preached before the people who came out to Gaathly, the spirit of the Lord came upon him and he then bit the top of his fingers, so that the blood spouted.
5. Then with his blood he marked a line between the Athlians and the rest of the earth’s inhabitants as the Lord had commanded him.
6. Then came forth the Shepherdmiss Muriel, daughter of Athlyi, who fell upon her knees saying, “Let thy blood fall upon me that I bear it through the ages.” The Shepherd let his blood fall upon her.
7. Then came forward also Sister Mary Howard, stear of the nourishers and saints. She bound up the Shepherd’s wound.
9. “I am a witness of this blood,” the Stear uttered, but the Shepherd answered saying, “All Athlians are witnesses of this blood, and I shall be their Shepherd forever. Even in the spirit I shall be with them and I shall be quick to answer those who called upon me in sincerity; but those who seeketh me empty in heart shall not find me.
