POWER. THE mighty sound of forests murmuring In answer to the dread command ; The stars that shudder when their king !

But in this connection attention must be drawn to the figure of Ra‐ hoor‐khuit: “I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia; but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; & nought remains. There are many other details with regard to the Lord of the Aeon which should be studied in the Book of the Law.

Science studies Being in its partial manifestation; faith supposes it, or rather admits it a Jrtord as a whole. Science seeks the truth in everything; faith refers every- thing to an universal and absolute truth. Science records realities in detail ; faith explains them by 98

…ter either a lie or a jest, this with reverence, and that with conviction, Achieve it; the one becomes the truth, the other a formula of power. Hence the real value of the Egyptian ritual by which the theurgist identified himself with the power he invoked. Modern neophytes should not (we think) use the old conjurations with their barbarous names, because, imperfectly un- derstanding the same, they may supersti- tiously attribute some real power to them; we shall rather advise ‘‘ Jack and Jill went up the hill,” ‘‘From Greenland's icy moun- tain…
