Meander 1

My mentor in the early 1970's was Ernest Rhynas MSNU, the minister and President of the Aberdeen Bon Accord Spiritualist Church.  He would sometimes scribble a few lines on a scrap of paper to read out at the beginning of his Address at a service, he would then continue without notes to the rapt attention of us all.
I was fortunate to recover one such scrap dated 10th.February 1974 which I have transcribed.

"God does not condemn.
God loves humanity, and when you too learn to love humanity, to look upon your fellows without irritation and annoyance and learn to be tranquil and at peace, you will truly be a Healer. Not only of individuals but of all mankind, helping to raise the whole world into a state of light.
Tolerance my friends, tolerance.
Live and let live.
Your work is to hold in your heart the shining star which is all love, stillness and strength."
