New Race of Men
___________________
People whose personal characters have been transformed in conformity with the spiritual values taught by the Manifestation of God. 'Is it not the object of every Revelation to effect a transformation in the whole character of mankind, a transformation that shall manifest itself, both outwardly and inwardly, that shall affect both its inner life and external conditions? For if the character of mankind be not changed, the futility of God's universal Manifestation would be apparent.'7
'A race of men, incomparable in character, shall be raised up which, with the feet of detachment, will tread under all who are in heaven and on earth, and will cast the sleeve of holiness over all that hath been created from water and clay.'8 '. . . the supreme and distinguishing function of His Revelation. . . is none other than the calling into being of a new race of men . . .'9
[BD 171]
