He sincerely hopes that as the Cause grows and talented
persons come under its banner, they will begin to produce in art the divine
spirit that animates their soul. Every religion has brought with it some form
of art - let us see what wonders this Cause is going to bring along. Such a
glorious spirit should also give vent to a glorious art. The Temple with all
its beauty is only the first ray of an early dawn; even more wondrous things
are to be achieved in the future.
