THE MYSTERIES OF THE SPHINX AND PYRAMID.

I j OONTINUEO. * '

1 passing in turn before eachtliie twenty-two pictures,

the postulant received of the the secret instruction.

“ The Science of W i l l , the Principle of W i s d o m , and the source of all P o w e r are contained in twenty-two A r c a n a or sym- bolic hieroglyphics, of which each

‘attribute veils a meaning, and the whole com pose an A u s o l u t e D o c t r i n e , which Is sum marized in the memory by its correspondence with the letters of the sacred language, and with the numbers which are bound to these letters. Each letter and each number ex presses a reality of the D i v i n e W o u l d , of the I n t e i . l e c t u a l W o r l d , and of the P h y s i c a l W o r l d . Each arcanum, rendered vis ible and tangible by one of these pictures, is the formula of a law of the relationof human activity with the spirltualand material forces, whose combination produces the phenomena of life”

The Pastophore then instructs the postu lant in the secret meaning of each of the A r c a n a . * * * * * - * *

Finishing this instruction, the Pastophore conducted the postulant to the end of the gallery of A r c a n a , and opened for trim a door giving access to auotiier vault, narrow and long, at the extremity of which glowed a ftery furnace. Before this terrible vision the postulant trembled.

“ Where am I going ? It is a peril without escape; it is death!”

“ Sou of the Earth, perils and even death* frighten only abortive natures. I f thou art a coward what wouldst thou here? Behold me! I have traveled through this dame like a field of flowers.”

E n c o u r a g e d o y c u e i u u u i j < » » > .» . . . . . . . . .gered on the lips of the Magus, the postulant ■; reassured himself and set forward, while be

hind him closed the gallery of the A r c a n a . v-Reflection, which followed his-first emo- tion, showed him that the.teachings he had just received would be useless to one who was

: about to perisli. He was ignorant how this new trial would end, but had ho foreseen how he would come out of the first? Ashe ap proached the" barrier of fire his confidence increased, and the peril diminished in ap pearance. The furnace resolved itself into an optical illusion, created by light stacks of resinous wood, arranged upon grates, among which led a winding path. He dashes for ward along this path, he believes he has passed the danger, when the unforeseen stops him. Before him the vaulted avenue ends on the brink of a dead sea, whose surface covers $n unknown depth. Behind him fails from the openings of the vault floods of bitu minous oil which spout up Uke butning lava; the furnace has become a reality.

Pressed between this curtain of flame which cuts oft all retreat and the sheet of water which conceals perhaps a silent am bush, it is necessary to confront of these two enemies the only one which gives some chance of escape. *

The postulant enters at all hazards the dark water. Ilis feet feel the slippery in cline. He sinks; at each step the water level seems to rise, it reaches his breast, still higher, Ills shoulders, one step more and he will be submerged. But the light of the fur nace shows him that lie lias reached the cen ter of fchi* pond, the bottom becomes level, it rises little by little. He reaches the steps of a platform which is enclosed on three sides by a high arcade. On the wall in front there is a bronze door from which project the jaws

‘ of a lion holding a ring, the lower part of which represents a serpent biting its tail. This door is closed ̂ The postulant, dripping with water and numb with cold, ascends with difficulty the stairs. On reaching the plat form he is astonished to step on a floor of

. resonant metal. He waits near the door to recover himself. On the other side of the water through which ho has just passed the reflection of the furnace pales, then disap pears. The fire is extinguished. Obscurity

* once more reigns In these unknown vaults; the silence Is full of terror; no oneshows him self, flow can he goon? How can he return?

^^Ilb 'eard in this secret pl&ee. .-I!--.'. v-.c-v':.- '1 stop Is to perish. Behind thee Is death;

fiS^febefhre thee, safety." ‘may imagine the anxiety of the poor

postulant. Pressed by terror, shivering in the p ^ d a rk n e s s , his trembling fingers move over the

^sculpture of the'door to discover the secret which can make it move. The"?lug which hefiad seen a little before In the mouth of the Jion, might it not be some kind of a knocker

i M i which hircould raise and strike against the

8’.^sonorous door of bronze? Scarcely had he a ̂ seized it with two hands when by the effect of , spring communicating through the door, the^Bj^iiefcallic floor dropped from under the feet of K fJ '^ h e unfortunate, who hung over the yawning i | | r abyss. V* •

; :,If the postulant did not fall the platform swung back into place immediately, and re- gaining his feet, he saw the door open before

jj'c ‘ him. The chief of an escort of twelve Neo- 'coves (preservers of the Sanctuary), band-

£ * aged his eyes again as at his first entrancethe crypts. Then they led him with

torches through the passages that lead from the Sphinx . even to the Great Pyramid.

J^S-'-Xhese passages were closed at intervals by ■î T;K;:'secret doors, which the officers of the temple

. opened only on receiving a password and a :*py-:'?ignof recognition.• * V v r -V•• To be continued.Vv̂ 'V-’ •

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IN RACINE, WIS..• • ---------

Christian Science parlors, at 14 Baker Block, were comfortably filled last night with eager listeners. A class is nowin prog* ress there, under the teaching of Mrs. M. ^ Phelon, C. S. B. Mrs. Clara Diana Stacy,

*$}•;.[ v whose sweet singing and earnest words have g p £ wen many listeners both in Chicago and in j^.vlityexaa, from which field she has but lately m i^c o rn e , was present. So also was Dr. 'W. P. ® ^ ^ ?h e lo n , from Chicago, and Mrs. Alice

Wyman and Mrs. Marehant, both practical £;'vChristian Scientists from Milwaukee.

Mrs. Phelon opened the exercises \Vifch a Spreading of some of the Great blaster's words,

^ fo u n d in the New Testament. A few mo- fthents of “silent invocation” followed, then £Mra. Stacy sang and .Mrs. Phelon continued

- „ | ^ e Iesscm °f the evening, as follows: ^'JW'The power to think brings us to the con f e d e r a t io n of th e . nature of thought. Be-

|cause thought is both the builder and the ^material-out of which the building, the body,

gether, we ought to know something definitely about it. We can but see that man’s thought has brought him to confusion both spiritually and physically. Let us see how:, “A ‘little leaven leaveneth the whole

lump,” is the saying of one»of the wise ones of old. And again, “Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fijl full the lusts nor desires of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, and

‘ these are contrary, the one to the other, so that they cannot do the things ye would. But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the Law."

The works -of the flesh are everywhere manifest around us, in sickness, in weakness, in weariness, in the "wretchedness of failure and disappointment.

We have constantly sought to obtain and attain by building on the sands of illusion and unreality, instead of upon the strength and power of the only real and true. What ever is lasting and out of the Eternal will manifest itself in perfect form and state.

So far a s we listen to the promptings of the Eternal, so far we shall find ourselves the masters of so-called circumstances. That which conies from the thought and power of the One brings us peace and into the currents of the highest perfection.

I t is the continued thinking and express ing of such mental states and conditions that will either bring us upon the high planes of perfect health, or plunge ns into the clouds and mists of beliefs, thus preventing us from seeing God's man as he really Is, free from all illusions, and the errors of sin, sickness and death, for which he is constantly paying penalties.

The first attitude of tiie healer is consecra tion to the work, the bringing of the mind to a clear sense of its Oneness with God, as the Ail-Good, the All-Wise, the AUruesont. Then will come as never before a realiza tion of the nothingness of matter, and the absolute falsity of its claims for recognition. This attitude of mind gives po.wer both, to the affirmation and denials! by which the masterful force of the Universe is trans ferred from the healer to the healed. 'The plot ures thus excited in the minds of the pa tient become the basic plans under which our life structures are built up.

. Iu concluding Mrs. Ifiiekm urged the class

to do all they knew, "in the best manner possible. The more they did the more was possible.

‘Mrs. Stacy followed with a few remarks from her own experience in speaking the word and how much had come from it.

Dr. Phelon added a few words, suggest ing that science was a misnomer and that it really was Christian knowledge. So closed a very profitable evening for all who were preaent.—liAoiNE J o u r n a l .WHO MAY ENTER UPON THE PATH ?

The first element of danger to the Theo- sophists of our Western civilizationin their desire to unravel the mysteries of "the Secret Doctrine," and to partake of that knowledge that shall make them, as gods, is their egotism in imagining that with their superior abilities they can by a "short cut" find out all about it; and if they can only find out what is "the Secret Doctrine" they can soon produce far greater results than have ever been accomplished by the passive Mahatma of the torpid East. Unfortunately, the possesion of a thing and the ability to properly use the tiling possessed are not al ways equally adjusted.

A power that may have been acquired by generations of chelaship does not neces sarily imply that another who has for gen erations been trained for an entirely different end can, by obtaining the formula, become an adapt. Because, by means of these success ive series of chelaship, some may have attained to seemingly desirable states of consciousness, it does not follow that it is necessary or desirable for seekers here to ignore their present environments, and de clare that they will become chains.

Any vow with its attendant obligations, assumed by anyone at any time of his life, in so far ns the fulfillment of the same relates to the good and well being of others, he must fulfill to the uttermost of his ability, just as sacredly as though it were a vow of chela- ship.

Many of those who have and are entering on “The Path" are married, and.* have families dependent upon them. These must not forget that at farthest they may only be come iay-chelas, and even this can only be, after full provision has been made for the care and support of those dependent upon them, and this provision, too, must be such as t h e y may require, and not what' may be

needed by one, wuo, crucuymg u m llC ilu u u u the desire thereof, has so far overcome the carnal requirement that he can. live on water and sleep under a tree. ► . > - •

I t is a blind leading of the blind, for one, no matter how adept he may be in and of himself, to attempt to influence another and lead him to believe that he can and may ignore family ties and responsibilities, and thereby think himself superior to them.

No one can advance along "The Path” at the sacrifice of another’s good and well being, and if he attemtps it, he will, at the end, instead of "well done," hear, "Inasmuch as ye did it not unto the least of one of these, ye have only shown that seif alone is the object of your desire. Know ye not that s e l f is the first thing to be overcome ? There fore is your labor in vain and ye have no re ward." J. E. Wo o d h e a d .

AN OPINION ABOUT THE HERMETIST.

T e r u y v il l e , Co n n ., June 10,1889.W. P. P h e l o n , M. D.:

Dear Friend—Enclosed please find 81.00 to pay for Tim H e r s ie t is t for past year. Witb the sample copy, you sent me a nice friendly letter, with sympathy and truth in It; I thank you.

In one copy of Th e H e r m e t is t , I think perhaps it was in June,.’88, there was an article by the editor About the Atlantians, which was to me most beautiful.

The one article was worth more than the subscription price of the paper.

The general tone of the writings in the paper has a finish and beauty not attained by many.

Since receiving the first copy of Th e H e r - m ktist you sent me, I have round, by way of the Mental Healing Science, a dear wife, a home with piano ami music in it, which I am so fond of. I can follow my occupation as a farmer, which I like a little better thau any other, though it’s a very busy life for every -successful one.

I wish the magazine, you, Mrs. Phelon and the cause of Truth, success.

With kind wishes,S. F. Min o r .

THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW.• The .Uttle child is playing with his toys. Something breaks. His plaus for immediate pleasure and action are dissipated. His knowledge does not embrace the fact that re pair .is possible. The world grows dark to him. Hot tears of agony fall, for his loss and disappointment. Never in all the lives, young or mature, will he ever realize more

’% tiQn and loss. But presently comes to him the ^^Ih^lp ing hand} out of the shadow light is ^pS^yoked, words of hope and gladness cheer him ^ % and once more there is peace and joy. ,v ̂V’

is it in the path of life, on which the^ S fe ftg h t of the Infinite sifts only by a ' narrow

rift, constantly puzzling our keenest capaci- ^ l l . i ie s . tb keep - the personal "points of re- ^ l^cep tiy ity in adjustment. . On either haiid ^^Iflies the valley of the shadow.

Tired, wayworn and stumbling we may |!^>^Blide out iuto the darkness. Or forces over' ;^}^>which we have no control, belonging to the I^^ K arm a that like a crouching wild beast waits f f e i o r us, ever eager to demand its pound of L ^ f le sh , may suddenly overwhelm us. For days I f ^ p r weeks or months, perchance, the soul out £ of its banishment or self-exile gropes for

‘̂ guidance, for a single word of comfort and ' strength. In the confusion, we forget that

̂ ‘ we may look to the Master, that his words t^ C a re meant for our encouragement and ; ‘ ' strengthening. I t seems as if the judgment £‘5 i * had already been set, that the books lay open ;/ov' and the words of doom were even now ^ A ' quivering in the air. But it is not so. The

^weariness and vexation of the spirit have • simply, for the time being, been too weighty for carrying power of our organisations. We should appeal to hope for the future, grati

tu d e for the past, and certainty of the best good for all circumstances and conditions.

w.. To the ohild goes out all our tenderness • X" and’pity for his weakness, and inexperience.' To those of larger growth we have only harsh

criticisms and merciless judgments, based upon the inexorable law of the unattainable.

; i ; I s not the trial in proportion to the strength > . from the very faot of the case? Should weV-y f -, not pity the child of any age who, seeking gfeeam eatly , has not succeeded in full accom- ^r^plishm ent, but who desires always the- high-

estand the best, whose joy is in the brightness Infinite and whose gladness is the

y ^ j ineifable smile of the Eternal ?Regard always the message and not the

v ^ inessenger. Let him who loudly condemns i-^those who go down into the “Valley of the ^Shadow ” beware lest in the time to come he fe^diay also cry out of the depths for the

^ p ^ m ercy and help lie now so lightly and care- ^ ^ f e s s ly refuses his needy neighbor, and broth- ^^|;y.br. “Remember.the words of the Master: ^ > ^ “With wh'atsoeyer judgment ye judge shall iMB'jte be judged.” •

EXCERPTS FROM MADAME GUYON’S : “ MYSTIC SENSE GF THE , s

• ’ . . SCRIPTURES.” .[Copyright, 1888, by Mr*. M. M. F h e u ih , O.S.B.]

Possessing the sovereign good, nothing is wanting to them, and they no longer desire anything. That which has only strayed can be found again, but what has been lost in God cannot be found without coming out of God.

The whole glory of a soul in this de gree is no longer to exist. . God is its "lory, and it is lus to provide for it. (In him we live and move and have our being.) ,

I t is the quality of the little-courage ous to be cast down by the slightest obstacles, and to despair of the enter prise where they think they cannot succeed.

It is a fault of leaders not to be con tent with the simple word of God which is given them, according to the want of souls at the moment they consult him.

. XI.They always wish to use the old

methods and general maxims of direc tion, because they have seen them succeed well, and so they cling to them. This is displeasing to God, ns he desires to become absolute director of directors— os he alone knows the wants of souls, according to the designs he has over them. Moses doubted if it were suffi cient to speak to the rock as God had com manded—if he did not also smite the rock —thus thinking he mixed together the work of God and his own operations. God was displeased,. Wishing.to show that the old must pass away, he would take away the support of the rod, and from this time Moses’ rod did no miracles. The second reason was that God wishes to make known that Jesus Christ was to perform all his miracles by speech—the word or logos. .True faith must depend on his word or speeches, instead of .mira cles, signs or wonders.
