There may be things which will appear strange, and for which no reasons can be given to the beginner; but when the disciple has attained a certain state 01 development all will be clear to him or her. The confidence which is required will also be of little service if it is only of a short duration.

If it is said that in this way the society will gain only few members, it may be answered that our society has a spiritual head, and that those who are worthy of being admitted will be guided to it by means of their intuition; while those who have no intuition are not ripe for it and not needed. It is better to have only a comparatively small number of capable members than a great many useless ones. From the above it will be clear that the first and mos…

THE EQUINOX same reason) it lacks just that which Zola always gives—a sense of tragedy. Probably Mr, George will say (with a maiden blush) that his novel is none the worse for that; he would deny the truth of the poet‘s vision—insist that the cosmos is but incoherency of heterogeneous incident, I may, however, urge with more hope of his attention that his novel breaks off at the really interesting part.
