The Word of God may be likened to the life-giving breezes of
the divine springtime. When chanted in
spiritual tones, it bestoweth the breath of life and granteth true
salvation. It bringeth forth a garden of
roses from the pure soil, and wafteth its musk-laden fragrance throughout the
world.

Auxiliaries, May 2018)
