There is no place upon earth where the track of the serpent is not seen and his venomous sting felt. The whole earth is defiled under the inhabitants thereof. The curse is increasing as transgression increases (Letter 22, February 13, 1900).{1BC 1086.1}

1086Der er ikke noget sted på jorden hvor slangens spor ikke kan ses og dens gifthug ikke kan mærkes. Hele jorden er besmittet under beboerne derpå. Forbandelsen øges ligesom overtrædelsen øges (Brev 22, 13. feb., 1900).
