Transcription

All who take this course will know by revelation that God is our Father; they will understand the relationship they hold to him and their fellow-beings. The world may in vain ask the question: "Who are we?" But the Gospel tells us that we are the sons and daughters of that God who we serve. Some say, "We are the children of Adam and Eve." So we are, and they are the children of our Heavenly Father. We are all the children of Adam and Eve, and they and we are the offspring of Him who dwells in the heavens, the highest intelligence that dwells anywhere that we have any knowledge of.
