Are you one of the thinking ones in earth life?

So now, all thinking ones in earth life, under whose observation these imperfect pages may come, lend us your aid, not only in living rightly and sending a good feeling that others shall understand, but when, in the solitude of your home life, send up your earnest prayers to angel friends that they may help the upper congress to have such power over your nation's congress there, that the evils which surround you may gradually, by clean hands and pure hearts, be wiped from the nation's history, and that men shall be chosen for the earthly congress who may be in such harmony with higher powers that the way shall be made easier for the spiritual congress to work out its designs on the earthly congress.
