Summary

"If there are some of you who have been tricked into the conviction that you have gone too far, that you have had the poison of sin, which makes it impossible ever again to be what you could have been then hear me - I bear testimony that you cannot sink further than the light and sweeping intelligence of Jesus Christ. I bear testimony that as long as there is one spark of the will to repent and to reach, He is there. He did not just descend to your condition. He descended below it that He might be in all and through all things, the Light of Truth."
