Dedication.
To all God's Sons and Daughters of Compassion, who are striving to lessen the travail and pain of the sentient creation, and to establish upon Earth the "King's Peace."
"There hath been slaughter for the sacrifice
And slaying for the meat, but henceforth none
Shall spill the blood of life, nor taste of flesh;
Seeing that knowledge grows, and life is one,
And Mercy cometh to the merciful."
