Excerpt from book: PREFACE I HAVE no desire to bring myself into the foreground, except to inform the readers of this book—"The Flash Lights of Truth"—that the book was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of Truth. I call to remembrance that Jesus Christ ever thanked the Father for all blessings. This I sincerely do. Knowing, as I do, "That I of myself can do nothing," I therefore send this message forth with my prayer to God, our Father-Mother, that many may glean the Light which shines through every page, digest and assimilate it, so that it may become a realization, which realization, united with Love and Devotion, opens the way for the blessings which follow the gleaning of the Light.

I was called by the Spirit of Truth into semi-retirement to write this book in 1913-1914; it was finished in 1915 and now published in 1918.
