At which I felt intensely sorry for her. “The Adept, noticing my sympathy, turned to me and said : ‘She is lust, fresh-fleshed and lovely, but rotten. She would clog the power of a man.” “T thereupon thanked the Adept. But he, taking no notice of my thanks, pointed out to me a distant star through a hole in the roof, and then said, ‘ Journey there.’ “This I did, streaming up towards it like a co…

Not that it is for a mere dabbler like myself to suggest to others even a line of research ; but love conquers modesty, and I should like to hint that in the restoration of a duodecimal notation and cos- mography lies the best hope of a perfect recovery of the perfect Way.

…, Mr. Conformity, and his twin, Mr. Nonconformity, agree to pretend that initiates are always either dupes or impostors; they deny that| man can see God and live. Look! There goes John Compromise to church, speculat- ing, like Lot’s wife, on the probable slump in sulphur and the gloomy outlook for the Insurance Companies. It will never do for his Christ to be a man of like passions with himself, else people might expect him to aim at a life like Christ's. He wants to wallow and swill, and hope for an impos sible heaven. So that it will be impru…

They tend to adopt the principles of the man who flits from one place to another, grabbing portable property and dodging creditors and policemen.
