[1939]: "The Master gave us a Trust. That Trust is the
Guardian. He said 'that no dust of despondency may stain his radiant nature.'
Dust of despondency! He has been so abused and tortured by those who should
have sustained and encouraged him that his radiant nature is as rare as rare
can be now. Sometimes I see it like a sun in his dear face shining through --
he suffers so much that many times he has to go to bed because of it, literally
prostrated!"
