I will only say that I am fully in accord with what has been 
said by one of the speakers as to the human race. I think man, 
when he came forth from the hand of his Creator, was by no

his higher powers and the actual thoughts of his mind would be, 
naturally, developed at a later stage. 
The meeting then adjourned.
