THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING
However, this account in The Temple of Solomon the King
is too clumsy, too overloaded with matter irrelevant to the
main purpose, to serve as the book referred to in Lider
Legis III. 39. It will form a book of reference for students,
but not a popular treatise. Frater Perdurabo was conscious
of this difficulty. A further revelation through another
messenger was necessary before the matter could be brought
to asatisfactory conclusion. It is unnecessary in this place to
detail how this came about, as it is quite recent and of too
great importance in itself to deal with in any casual manner.
It must suffice that this instruction is now being fully obeyed,
as will be evident upon the publication of Part IV of Book 4.
We now return to the diary. On September 24 we
find a new password for the forthcoming Equinox—4
dio.
Its sublime meaning was not yet suspected by Frater Perdu-
rabo. On November 9 we find the entry “Here endeth
this diary, for I write now in a Holy Book of my Holy
Pilgrimage to the Sun.” In fact, he left London for Paris
on November 10, attended only by a single Chela. He
arrived at Algiers on the 17th, and on the next day took the
tram to Arba, from which point they started to walk to Bou-
Saada.
At Aumale he took up again the work of obtaining the
Cries of the 30 A&thyrs, to which he had not paid attention
since August 1900. It is evident that he was stopped from
going beyond that point at that time.
A study of these Cries will explain to students of intelli-
gence the details of this Initiation, and it will be seen from the
remarks at the end of the 13th A&thyr that it is not possible
to proceed beyond the 16th for any one who is not a Master of
the Temple. In the 19th A2thyr is the beginning of this
