# The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 57

Meeting of the sages, continued. Opening addresses. Seven days' silence.
1. Ashbina said, Assyria is the land of doubt; the chariot of my people, that in which they mostly ride, is labelled Doubt.
2. Once Faith walked forth in Babylon; and she was bright and fair; but she clothed in such white robes that men became afraid of her.
3. And every wheel began to turn, and Doubt made war on her, and drove her from the land; and she came back no more.
4. In form men worship God, the One; in heart they are not sure that God exists.
5. Faith worships at the shrine of one not seen; but Doubt must see her God.
6. The greatest need of all Assyria is faith—a faith that seasons every thing that is, with certainty.
7. And then Apollo said, The greatest needs of Greece are true concepts of God.
8. Theogony in Greece is rudderless, for every thought may be a god, and worshipped as a god.
9. The plane of thought is broad, and full of sharp antagonists; and so the circle of the gods is filled with enmity, with wars and base intrigues.
10. Greece needs a master mind to stand above the gods; to raise the thoughts of men away from many gods to God the One.
11. We know that light is coming o'er the hills. God speed the light.
12. Matheno said, Behold this land of mystery! this Egypt of the dead!
13. Our temples long have been the tombs of all the hidden things of time; our temples, crypts and caves are dark.
14. In light there are no secret things. The sun reveals all hidden truth. There are no mysteries in God.
15. Behold the rising sun! His beams are entering every door; yea, every crevice of the mystic crypt of Mizraim.
16. We hail the light! All Egypt craves the light.
17. And Philo said, The need of Hebrew thought and life is liberty.
18. The Hebrew prophets, seers, and givers of the law, were men of power, men of holy thought, and they bequeathed to us a system of philosophy that is ideal; one strong enough and good enough to lead our people to the goal of perfectness.
19. But carnal minds repudiated holiness; a priesthood filled with selfishness arose, and purity in heart became a myth; the people were enslaved.
20. The priesthood is the curse of Israel; but when he comes, who is to come, he will proclaim emancipation for the slaves; my people will be free.
21. Behold, for God has made incarnate wisdom, love and light, which he has called Immanuel.
22. To him is given the keys to open up the dawn; and here, as man, he walks with us.
23. And then the council chamber door was opened and the Logos stood among the sages of the world.
24. Again the sages sat in silence seven days.
# The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ/Chapter 59

Meeting of the sages, continued. The remaining postulates. The sages bless Jesus. Seven days' silence.
1. Apollo wrote the fifth:
2. The soul is drawn to perfect light by four white steeds, and these are Will, and Faith, and Helpfulness and Love.
3. That which one wills to do, he has the power to do.
4. A knowledge of that power is faith; and when faith moves, the soul begins its flight.
5. A selfish faith leads not to light. There is no lonely pilgrim on the way to light. Men only gain the heights by helping others gain the heights.
6. The steed that leads the way to spirit life is Love; is pure unselfish Love.
7. Matheno wrote the sixth:
8. The universal Love of which Apollo speaks is child of Wisdom and of Will divine, and God has sent if forth to earth in flesh that man may know.
9. The universal Love of which the sages speak, is Christ.
10. The greatest mystery of all times lies in the way that Christ lives in the heart.
11. Christ cannot live in clammy dens of carnal things. The seven battles must be fought, the seven victories won before the carnal things, like fear, and self, emotions and desire, are put away.
12. When this is done the Christ will take possession of the soul; the work is done, and man and God are one.
13. And Philo wrote the seventh:
14. A perfect man! To bring before the Triune God a being such as this was nature made.
15. This consummation is the highest revelation of the mystery of life.
16. When all the essences of carnal things have been transmuted into soul, and all the essences of soul have been returned to Holy Breath, and man is made a perfect God, the drama of Creation will conclude. And this is all.
17. And all the sages said, Amen.
18. Then Meng-ste said, The Holy One has sent to us a man illumined by the efforts of unnumbered years, to lead the thoughts of men.
19. This man, approved by all the master minds of heaven and earth, this man from Galilee, this Jesus, chief of all the sages of the world, we gladly recognise.
20. In recognition of this wisdom that he brings to men, we crown him with the Lotus wreath.
21. We send him forth with all the blessing of the seven sages of the world.
22. Then all the sages laid their hands on Jesus' head, and said with one accord, Praise God!
23. For wisdom, honour, glory, power, riches, blessing, strength, are yours, O Christ, for evermore.
24. And every living creature said, Amen.
25. And then the sages sat in silence seven days.

Edition of 1879. See also Louis d'or on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
LOUIS D'OR, a French gold coin, first struck under Louis XIII. in 1641. It has fluctuated in value, but subsequent to 1785 was coined at the rate of 36¼ to the mark of gold 22 carats fine, having an intrinsic value of about 20s. sterling ($4 86). These ceased to be legal coins in France as early as 1726, but they still circulated in Germany and Switzerland. Upon the return of the Bourbons in 1814 coins struck by Louis XVIII. in imitation of the napoleons were called louis, or louis d'or; and this name is sometimes given to the same coin struck by Louis Philippe.
# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Long Island City

Edition of 1879. See also Long Island City on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
LONG ISLAND CITY, a city of Queens co., New York, at the W. end of Long Island, opposite the upper part of New York city; pop. in 1874, about 16,000. It extends 3 m. E. and W. by 5 m. N. and S., and has a water front of 10 m., stretching along Newtown creek on the south, which separates it from Brooklyn, and thence N. along East river to Bowery bay. It is divided into five wards, and contains three post offices: Astoria in the north, Ravenswood in the central portion, and Long Island City in the south. The S. W. portion is also called Hunter's Point. The N. portion is high and finely situated, and in Astoria and
Ravenswood there are many beautiful drives and handsome residences. The plan has been liberally projected, with wide streets and avenues and three parks, but the actual laying out of the city has not advanced far. A handsome brick court house, to cost $200,000, is in course of erection, and when it is completed the county seat of Queens co. will be removed to this place. Two ferries ply between Hunter's Point and New York, and Astoria is connected with that city by ferry and by the Harlem and Morrisania boats. Four lines of horse cars run to various parts of the city and to Brooklyn. Hunter's Point is the terminus of the Long Island, Flushing and North Side, and Central railroads, and contains the freight depot of the South Side line. It is the great depot for the storage and shipment of refined petroleum consigned to the New York market, and contains extensive lumber yards, a marine railway, three or four oil refineries, granite works, and manufactories of cabinet ware, varnish, chemicals, refrigerators, hammers, boilers and steam engines, asbestus roofing, mattresses, tinware, &c. A very extensive manufactory of pianofortes has recently been erected at Astoria, where there are also manufactories of carriages, carpets, and jewelry. The city has five ward school houses, a daily and five weekly newspapers, a Baptist and a Methodist mission, and 14 churches, viz.: Baptist, Episcopal (4), Methodist (3), Presbyterian, Reformed, and Roman Catholic (4). It was formed from a portion of the town of Newtown, and was incorporated by the act of May 6, 1870.

# The American Cyclopædia (1879)/Lory

Edition of 1879. See also Lories and lorikeets on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
LORY, a division of the parrot family, embracing several very showy birds of the East Indian and South Pacific archipelagos, characterized by a large but rather slender bill, curved to the pointed tip, and with the lateral margins nearly smooth; the weakness of the lower mandible and the absence of prominences on the palate, and their softer tongue, often furnished with a pencil of bristles, show that their natural food is soft pulpy fruits and the juices of plants and flowers, and not the hard nuts and seeds eaten by most other parrots. The tail is generally of moderate length, rounded or graduated; the legs stout, and the wings, long and pointed; the prevailing color is a brilliant scarlet. In the typical genus lorius (Brisson), embracing about half a dozen species found in Borneo, the Moluccas, and New Guinea, the wings are moderate, with the second and third quills longest; feathers of the tail broad and rounded. One of the handsomest is the purple-capped lory (L. domicella, Briss.), about a foot long; the color is rich scarlet, with a yellow color on the breast, purplish crown, greenish wings with a bluish violet flexure, bluish green thighs, and orange
yellow bill; it is highly esteemed for its beauty, activity, docility, and powers of articulation. The black-capped lory (L. tricolor, Steph.), about the size of a pigeon, is scarlet and violet, with black crown, green wings, and tail varied with red, green, and violet; it pronounces very distinctly the word “lory,” which has given the name to the subfamily. The Papuan lory has a very long wedge-shaped tail, especially the median two feathers, and is put by Wagler in his genus charmosyna; this, the C. Papuensis (Wagl.), is a very elegant bird, the ground color of the plumage being brilliant scarlet; the top of the head, nape, lower back, rump, and tibiæ deep azure; sides of breast and thighs rich yellow; wings green, as also the basal half of the tail; the tips of the tail feathers saffron yellow.
Papuan Lory (Charmosyna Papuensis).

# The Black Moth/Prologue

Clad in his customary black and silver, with raven hair unpowdered and elaborately dressed, diamonds on his fingers and in his cravat, Hugh Tracy Clare Belmanoir, Duke of Andover, sat at the escritoire in the library of his town house, writing.
He wore no rouge on his face, the almost unnatural pallor of which seemed designedly enhanced by a patch set beneath his right eye. Brows and lashes were black, the former slanting slightly up at the corners, but his narrow, heavy-lidded eyes were green and strangely piercing. The thin lips curled a little, sneering, as one dead-white hand travelled to and fro across the paper.
   “… but it seems that the Fair Lady has a Brother, who, finding Me Enamoured, threw down the Gauntlet. I soundly whipt the presumptuous Child, and so the Affair ends. Now, as you, My dear Frank, also took some Interestt in the Lady, I write for the Express Purpose of informing You that at my Hands she has received no Hurt, nor is not like to. This I in part tell You that You shall not imagine Yr self in Honor bound again to call Me out, which Purpose, an I mistake not, I yesterday read in Yr Eyes. I should be Exceeding loth to meet You a Second Time, when I should consider it my Duty to teach You an even severer Lesson than Before. This I am not Wishful of doing for the Liking I bear You.
   “So in all Friendship believe me, Frank,
   “Your most Obedient, Humble “Devil.”
His Grace of Andover paused, pen held in mid-air. A mocking smile dawned in his eyes, and he wrote again.
   “In the event of any Desire on Yr Part to hazard Yr Luck with my late Paramour, Permit Me to warn You ’gainst the Bantam Brother, who is in Very Truth a Fire-Eater, and would wish to make of You, as of Me, one Mouthfull. I shall hope to see You at the Queensberry Rout on Thursday, when You may Once More strive to direct mine Erring Footsteps on to the Thorny Path of Virtue.”
His Grace read the postscript through with another satisfied, sardonic smile. Then he folded the letter, and affixing a wafer, peremptorily struck the hand-bell at his side.
And the Honourable Frank Fortescue, reading the postscript half-an-hour later, smiled too, but differently. Also he sighed and put the letter into the fire.
“And so ends another affaire. … I wonder if you’ll go insolently to the very end?” he said softly, watching the paper shrivel and flare up. “I would to God you might fall honestly in love—and that the lady might save you from yourself—my poor Devil!”
