We wish that Heaven itself should guarantee the faith of new Initiates.

During the re^f^W ' P^st hn invisible intoxicating music seizes “• little by little his imagination in semi-dreams ji\o t lovely visions. The folds of green tap; p j | ^ .'estry embellished with sprays of myrtle, the 'colorand plant sacred to Venus,are slowly withdrawn from the end of the chamber and disclose to. view a gallery, where groups of ^ •r^ d a n c in g maidens bound together by garlands of roses, move in chains of beauty, in the sparkling light. " The music increases its allurement;‘un known perfumes inspire the novitiate with their giddy effluvia. The desire to contem plate this magic of form, Which imprisons human reason in the darkness of the material world, attracts him in silence step by step. Scarcely has he crossed the threshold when k /-V*' two of the dancers hind him in a chain of roses and all the others disappear like a (lock of frightened doves. The light, suddenly diminished, lends only a vaporous twilight to the scene. If, by the slightest sign of weak\v ,v, ness the imprudent one dares to profane the ^ purity of the mysteries, a Keocere, who has : | glided behind him, strikes him a mortal blow. ■ I f lie remains motionless and collected, or If he break the chain of roses, a gesture of the £ K, Neocere dismisses the women and a proees:■!:4j- s l o n of the Magi come to congratulate their new brother on his having triumphed in this '--f' supreme test. “ Worthy Brother," said the Hierophant, I' !/ i v “ magic is composed of two elements, science *£"•’'■, and force.

' A doleful noise with a prolonged echo rises from the earth and gives seven detonations at equal intervals. “ Since it is the hour of Justice let justice be done.” A t the foot of the_aUar a trap lowers plunging into a cave from whence issue noises of rattling chains, and of a violent struggle, then roarings, then a human voice which gives a cry full of horror—then, noth ing more: it is the silence of the tomb. “ So perish all perjurers,” say the Magi, “ Justice Is done,” replies the Hierophant. “ Lotus go.” This was the last act of this drama of Initiation, to which succeeded A religious ‘b a n q u e t . ____________ LOOKING. Looking backward, we see two years of toil ami anxious solicitation, that in each and every number of T h e II e k s ik t is t there might be some helping word. Those who need help on the earth-plane, whose steps are always marked with blood from their tom and bleeding feet, are ever in a large majority. They agonize and suffer each for themselves, and no man knoweth the bitter ness of another’s cup. We are so desirous that they might find some word of encourage ment in the contest, and of congratulation, when they shall have won t^he victor's wreath. We are sure in whom we trust, and we know what we desire to do, but we have not always been sure that we were able to con vey to others the knowledge that has brought peace and--potency for geod fca us. Littie by little we have made 'a fulcum for our lever. - How much of the 'world we shall move will ; depend upon the willingness of our friends to co operate withgis. Looking forward, we see a possible sub scription list of 10,000 earnest thinkers, and T h e H e m e t is t enlarged to sixty-four pages, ' filled with the best thoughts of its subscribers and readers. Then it could take its place as a champion of all that is for the best good of mankind on the spiritual plane, and opposing to the death all that is born of selfishness and error, the progeuy of material manifestation. As we look intently we have in view a thousand individuals who would never miss from their full purses the subscription mite but whose united drops would place T h e , H k r m e t is t at flood tide for its third year. I t costs money to issue the magazine from month to month, and we feel free to call up on our subscribers as personal friends, every one, not only to pay their dollar, but also to give their influeuce and speech in aid of the great movement, out of the sloughs of error and materialism into the high-ground of Truth and Spirituality. Jn all the two years, T h e II e j im e t is t has skipped no month, nor made a temporary suspension to be made up by a double num-’ ber in some future month. N or has there been a single line to bring a blush upon the purest cheek in all the world. We propose to hold the fort ju st as we have done. Do not say, ye who Beek the truth; “Verily these are moldy chestnuts thou givest us.” We do not come to you as mendicants, but we ask you to share with us in tills great work, which is like the letting out of water. I t is promised that they who sow in this field shall receive at the harvest time a hundred fold. If you cannot atford o n e dollar; if you can not induce some friend to atford one dollar for subscription, at least you can send us the names of those you know who are interested in something outside of the bread and butter brigade. When you can atford a new book you can allow us to send you that, and so help the cause of developing wisdom that much. Thou who grievest over degenerate human ity—wiiat answer do you give us and your own souls ? TEN REASONS WHY THE WORLD'S • • ‘FAIR OF 1892 SHOULD BE HELD •• IN CHICAGO. ■' .• -1st. Because Christopher Columbus dis covered America; and Chicago is the Repre sentative American city. 2nd. Because said 0. C. did his discovering 400 years ago, and 400 is square, and Chicago means to be on the square. ^ 3rd. Because when he discovered America it was a “boundless contiguity of space,” so is Chicago and always has been. In fact, the contiguity at the present time is perfectly overwhelming. 4th. Chicago understands that she runs from the surface up and down. She sells her real estate by the square foot, Including the cubic feet to China, and the air to nothing, and she is making the most of it. Conse quence, she has all kinds of climate constantly on hand and furnished at the shortest pos sible notice. 5th. If she lias not already bed-room space enough she has some experience in the an nexing business and can find accomodations for the hosts of Midian, even if they are as the sands of the sea. 6th. As Chicago can never be crowded, she can always afford to be courteous and polite to strangers and show them she is no snob. 7th. All lines of transportation have one end in Chicago and the other in the Sandwich Islands, Australia, or some other equally well-known and enterprising country. 8th. I t Is only doing the square thing by old C. C. to let the whole world see as much of his discovered country as possible. The ouly way to do that is to have the World’s Fair as near the middle of it as it can be placed, Chicago is the hub. 9th. Chicago is a kind of a relation to old Double C. Her name has the same initial. 10th. Chicago wants it. WHO IS A MESSIAH OR BUDDHA? The above question, proposed at a meeting of the Ramayana F. S., drew. out the follow ing among other responses: “A Messiah or the Annointed One is the Alpha and Omega; the Ultima Thule, not only of his own individuality manifested on the earth plane, but is also the crystalization of the whole human race in the One. Fear not, lest thy life come to an end; but • “He must kpow the Past; the Present and the Future.

It is the change from-the old to the new heavens and earth, from the earthly to the ^ieavehly Jerusalem soon to claim its placeth this no longer tem pest-tossed world. We turn from the dead ruler materialism, and cry, “Long live the poteht conqueror, Spirituality.” The power of the Good unto salvation is being made manifest upon the earth. “ W e are’living, w eav e d w e llin g in n gran tlaiu i aw fu l tim e, • E v e r living, e v e r m oving tow ard th e w orld th a t is . sublim e.” Watch, watch, Watch, for the day and the hour knoweth no man, no, not even the angels in heaven, but the Father only. This spirit wave now passing over the world, is not fully recognized by the multitude in the outer court of the temple, as the midnight cry: “ Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him.” But it is all embraced in the one word “ watch.” Watch the signs of the sun, moon, stars and earth. J. S. THREE SEVENS Is the title of a new book we expect to have ready early in November. It is a story of the Ancient Initiations, covering a period of twenty-one years. In these initiations are symbolized the agonies, sufferings and tri umphs In all agesof every woman-born being. It is of the most absorbing interest for all who have any desire to know the occult.

B,] As soon as self-love is given up, then God gives them the advantage-over their enemies, and destroys them by a blow of his hand, and at the same time brings to view the malignancy of slander, and dem onstrates the innocence of his people. The sight of the serpent, raised by the command of God, calms and soothes, as does the union with what Jesus suffered, when the soul can look upon it in the light of faith, which passes as a spark of divine energy, suddenly renewing and strengthening it. Whoever has the ex perience of it will confess that it is as true as it is beautiful. This interior people is stronger than all the others, for their strength lies not in their arms nor in their defenses, but in God alone. This interior people shall always dwell alone and they shall not be mingled among the nations; they shall always dwell alone, although in the midst of all the world, for, their hearts being separated from the world, they are always alone with God. But the truly annihilated one, -no longer existing, has neither strength in . himself nor in God, but God alone is strong, God alone is mighty, God alone is everything. This degree is much farther advanced. Now the soul, being thus raised and reclad with the strength of LOOK. HEREI ' We have been using a Morris Type Writer for over a year.
