("Uel," wherever used in connection with a proper name, like Samuel, Immanuel, etc., etc., must mean "called" of God, or one chosen to declare the "will" of God. One who "hears" God or the Angels.)

Those who have the Voice, or "Call" of Truth, and respond; those who are chosen to bear the "word"; those who personify the "Living Word," are such Angels as must bear the testimony, must speak and urge others to listen to the Truth that has been declared, or is to be declared, by a Messianic Life: Must consecrate all their utterances and manifestations to that Truth.

Somewhere upon Earth, clothed in the garb of human life, is to be found this "Voice": Such time as human lives are ready, have grown, through self-conquest, to the state of listening to the "Voice" thus embodied; or, if hearing it from within, there is a time or season of great light for the few who are thus ready; and when the period arrives that many are ready, it is an epoch, it Marks a Year of Truth to those who are thus vivified.

If the "call" is heard from within it certainly betokens a state of nearness to the Angel.

"Behold I stand at the door and knock - if anyone hearing my voice shall bid me enter, I will come in and sup with him and he with me."

This refers not only to the personality of the Messiah when He was upon earth, but to that presence and prescience, that ever accompanies those who are one with Him or His Truth:

Also to the Angel of the Voice, who approaches by the "unfrequented door," by the gateway overgrown with the thorns and briars of selfishness: To "hear" the "voice," to recognize its im-188 port, to realize that the Messengers of Truth are trying to gain admission to one's heart, to the outer consciousness, from within, this is the "Call."

Whenever they walk the earth and lead the way, guarding the sacred Truths of the past Dispensation, and preparing the way for the new, there can be no mistaking their mission.

It is not, however, to be supposed that these "voices" will be heeded by the multitude; and it is to be expected that they can only be received by those who are ready.

The "Call" or Summons can only be heard or perceived by those who are in the direct "Line of Descent" from one Dispensation to Another. There are always those who are approximately ready, who will gather around a chosen Teacher or leader, and others who will listen "afar off," but perhaps only with curiosity aroused, yet who later will turn into the "voice" or "awakening" by lines of added experience. Today one might not listen, but if great sorrow came, that might be the hand smiting the Rock of Indifference, and opening the heart to the Voice of Truth.
