EDITORIAL “No,” answered the Water Man, “it can’t be impure, for we filter it.” “Oh, indeed!” replied the Inhabitant, “ but my wife died from drinking it.” “No,” said the Water Man; “I assure you that this water comes from the purest springs in Utopia; further, that water, however impure, cannot hurt anybody; further, that I have a certificate of its purity from the Water Company itself.” “The people who pay you!” sneered the Inhabitant. “ For your other points, Haeckel has proved that all water is poison, and I believe you get your water from …

THE EQUINOX The Water Inspector rose jubilant, when from the body of the Court came a still small voice. “Might I respectfully suggest, your Worship, that the water in question be examined through my Microscope?” “What in thunder is a Microscope?” cried the three in chorus. “An instrument, your Worship, that I have constructed on the admitted principles of optics, to demonstrate by experience what these gentlemen are arguing about @ priori and on hearsay.” Then they both rose up against him, and cursed him. “ Unscientific balderdash!” said the …

…a cubical altar. In his left hand, which points downwards, he holds a lighted torch, and in his right hand, which is elevated, a horn of water. The cubical Altar represents the Universe. The whole figure shows the gross generating powers of nature on the material plane, and is analogous to the Pan of the Greeks and the Egyptian Goat of Mendes. As his hands bear the torch and the horn, the symbols of Fire and Water, so does his form unite the Earth in his hairy and bestial aspect, and the Air in his bat-like wings. The whole would be an evil sym…

THE EQUINOX XV After long dreamless sleep I knew The tale that had fled my tongue, I found it far in the water blue, In the song by the skylark sung, In the melody slow of the waving corn, In the rushing of wind through the vines re-born, And wherever the water-lilies grew, And the green, green willows swung. XVI And still the lady of my dream As a light before me goes ; I see her in the sun’s last gleam, In the moonlight on the snows. Ah! chiefly then her song is sung, When the moon o’er the dark green woods is hung; She is born at midnight on…

…stood a shining steel-grey-silver figure, unarmed. «“ Welcome,’ said the stranger with a cold dignity. “Then he led me to a blue pool of water, and bade me plunge into it, which I did, half diving and half swimming, sending a million sparkling sapphires of water dancing in the light. “ The water was deliciously cool and refreshing, and as I struck out in it, I soon saw that I must have made a mistake, for the far shore was a great distance from me, and on it I could see shining a silvery palace. 3i2

One evening when he was fishing for sillocks on an ebb-rock, which could only be reached dry-shod at low water, the fish took unusually well, so that he stood and filled his basket. Indeed they took so well that he forgot all about the tide, and soon found him- self cut off from the land. Mansie shouted and shouted, but he was far from any house, and nobody heard him. The water rose until it reached his knees, and then his hips, and then his shoulders. He shouted until he was hoarse, and then gave up all hope of …

The Alchemist well knew the difference between the kitchen stove and the Heraclitean furnace ; and between the water in his hip-bath and “the water which wetteth not the hands.” True, much “twaddle” was written concerning balsams, and elixirs, and bloods, which, however, to the merest tyro in alchemy can be sorted from the earnest works as easily as a “ Bart’s” student can sort hair-restoring pamphlets and blackhead eradicators from lectures and essays by Lister and Miller.

And as with the individual so with the nation, the one or the many, it is taught to work its way into one narrow groove, and like the water in a drain or a gutter to flow for a time unobtrusively between dignified cobbles and over re- spectable cement, and then to vanish as genteelly as possible underground. Sometimes there is a stoppage ; too much filth has accumu- lated, and it refuses all conventional methods of being removed. Then comes a flood—a revolution—for a time there is a nasty mess, but soon the filth is washed away, and once aga…

Then the Hierophant speaks : he does so not as to an assembly of mortals, but as a God before the assembly of the Gods. «And let his voice be so directed that it shall roll through the Universe to the confines of Space, and let the Candidate represent unto him a world which he is beginning to lead unto the knowledge of its governing angel.

This also is true, but it relates to the governance of the Elemental King- doms, which are in the Astral Worlds, and whose monads are on the descending arc of Life, whilst Man is on the Ascending ; that scale is therefore inverted. For by the mighty sacrifice of the Man Made Flesh and by His Torturous Pilgrimage is evolved that Glorified Son Who is Gre…
