In my garden of rare flowers,

I walked one summer day;

And picked some lovely blossoms, To start a new bouquet.

In this garden of rare flowers, The blossoms in array;

Were Freedom, Justice, Equality, To add to my bouquet.

In my garden of rare flowers,

I plucked one sunny day;

Love, Peace, and then Humility,

To make this new bouquet.

In this garden of rare flowers,

I found along the way;

A special bloom called, Holy Faith,

To complete my new bouquet.

In God’s garden of rare flowers,

If we all worked every day;

Then, we could help some others,

To make a new bouquet.

B. The Temporary Administrative Council shall function as a program agency. It shall meet annually to establish the specific programs, to commission their implementation, and to provide for the material (financial) needs thereof. For the time being the two bishops shall preside over the annual meetings as co-chairmen. The Temporary Administrative Council shall divide among the two bishops the immediate supervision of the operation of the various programs.

The Unity Meeting referred action on these proposals to the Temporary Administrative Council.
