The Mount of the House of the Lord
"Going through the places in the slum districts of our Country and even in the outer surroundings of the City and the suburbs, creating such an atmosphere of harmony and cleanliness until the children of men will clean up themselves ...those who have been living in the slums and have been slums themselves. They will express the spirit of decency and cleanliness~~the expression of that which is closely connected with Godliness, of which will be the outward expression of Godliness when they shall have brought such cleanliness to fruition by living it and expressing it continually. That is the Mystery!
"Then I say, you can see these old buildings in different communities that were run down, dilapidated and absolutely good for nothing, as you may term them to be, as GOD is the Center of Attraction and a Standard of Perfection expressed, HE demonstrates it by bringing perfection in these different places... the perfection of competence... the perfection of truth, both in the minds and the hearts and lives of the children of men, and in the surroundings; renovating old material, natural buildings, remodeling and renovating them, causing them to be comfortable and convenient, causing them to have all improvements for the comfort and convenience of the inhabitants of such buildings as a sample and an example for others."
