# On Cleaving to God/Chapter 1

On the highest and supreme perfection of man, in so far as it is possible in this life
I have had the idea of writing something for myself on and about the state of complete and full abstraction from everything and of cleaving freely, confidently, nakedly and firmly to God alone, so as to describe it fully (in so far as it is possible in this abode of exile and pilgrimage), especially since the goal of Christian perfection is the love by which we cleave to God. In fact everyone is obligated, to this loving cleaving to God as necessary for salvation, in the form of observing the commandments and conforming to the divine will, and the observation of the commandments excludes everything that is contrary to the nature and habit of love, including mortal sin. Members of religious orders have committed themselves in addition to evangelical perfection, and to the things that constitute a voluntary and counselled perfection by means of which one may arrive more quickly to the supreme goal which is God. The observation of these additional commitments excludes as well the things that hinder the working and fervour of love, and without which one can come to God, and these include the renunciation of all things, of both body and mind, exactly as one’s vow of profession entails. Since indeed the Lord God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth, in other words, by knowledge and love, that is, understanding and desire, stripped of all images. This is what is referred to in Matthew 6:6, ‘When you pray, enter into your inner chamber,’ that is, your inner heart, ‘and having closed the door,’ that is of your senses, and there with a pure heart and a clear conscience, and with faith unfeigned, ‘pray to your Father,’ in spirit and in truth, ‘in secret.’ This can be done best when a man is disengaged and removed from everything else, and completely recollected within himself. There, in the presence of Jesus Christ, with everything, in general and individually, excluded and wiped out, the mind alone turns in security confidently to the Lord its God with its desire. In this way it pours itself forth into him in full sincerity with its whole heart and the yearning of its love, in the most inward part of all its faculties, and is plunged, enlarged, set on fire and dissolved into him.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.
I am unaware of the literary value of a testimonial to the moral character of a writer, but being requested by the author of the following statement to testify to my knowledge of himself, I see no reason for declining to do so. Mr. Joseph Helsham was recommended to me when I undertook the secretarial duties of the South Street Visiting Mission, and he has been actively employed as a Visiting Missionary for nearly four years. I have never had the slightest reason to regret having engaged him, and I have many testimonials, both from clerical and lay friends, to the zeal with which he has discharged his duties. Though not an educated man, he is possessed of that shrewd sense which is more valuable than mere accomplishment, at least for such labours as those he undertakes. I have declined to read the statement itself, and have done so solely from business reasons which Mr. Helsham appreciates, and which would be without interest to others, but I desire no control over any use that may be made of this testimony to the character of Mr. Helsham.

Fast Doings at Rome.—There is many a "slow coach" in Rome, whether it does or does not contain some Eminence in the way of a cardinal. But the most go-a-head observer will hardly complain of the pace at which certain omnibuses, including the "Tevere " and the "Corso," dash along with their four or more horses by the Flaminian road up to the Porta del Popolo. With ceilingless pens for waiting-rooms at railway stations and seatless third-class carriages on the Southern line, the city of the Cæsars can yet boast some of the fastest and largest omnibuses, and perhaps the best-horsed cabs of any place of its size.
The Misericordians.—The gaiety of Florence after dark is invaded by gloomy sights such as the traveller, if he comes upon them suddenly, is likely to view with a peculiar sense of sadness and perhaps of mystery. It is the time for funerals, and ever and anon a hoarse strain from the Misericordians wakes up the echoes of the streets, while their huge torches cast a sickening glare over wall and casement, revealing at the same time the hideous costume of these valuable agents of mercy. Few of the inhabitants can enter dreamland without ghastly reminiscences of the passage of silent sleepers on their way to the day's yawning vault outside the walls. The pace at which they are carried is more like that of the desperate Bersaglieri of Turin than the solemn cavalcade amongst us which conveys the lifeless burden away from its home of the past to its long one of the future.

The Marquiss of Westminster's Diamonds.—We have heard people talk of Prince Esterhazy's jewels, but we need not go so far as Austria for some first-rate specimens, English by ownership, though not of home manufacture. It is well known that the insignia of the late Marquis of Westminster were far more splendid than those of any other Knight of the Garter. The jewels that he wore at Court on "collar days" and other grand occasions were of enormous value, and two of them were made heir-looms by his will. Some idea of the value of the entire set may be formed when we state that one of the diamonds which Lord Westminster was accustomed to wear on the pommel of the sword which he used on State occasions cost him no less than 30,000l.
The Alchymist.—During the Seven Years' War, an alchymist offered his services to Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick, for the purpose of converting iron into gold. "By no means!" answered the Duke: "I want iron to fight the French, and as for gold, I get it from England. But if you are able to convert mice and rats into calves and oxen, you are my man. The former make great havoc in my military stores; and the latter, I stand in great need of."
Napoleon and the Governor of Sevilla.— "If the town does not surrender," said Napoleon to the governor, "within three days, je la ferai raser."—"Permit me to doubt it," was the quaint reply. "Your Majesty would certainly not like to add to your titles of Emperor of the French and King of Italy, also that of Barber of Sevilla!"

"LENIN AND THE TRADE UNION MOVEMENT"
By A. LOSOVSKY
In this book, written by the secretary of the Red International of Labor Unions, is told the intensely interesting story of the development of the ideas of Lenin during his thirty years of activity, how he studied the labor movement and drew from it such conclusions that are a guide to action in the trade union movement, as in his work as a whole, Lenin is acknowledged by friend and foe as the world's greatest labor statesman.
"Leninism has taught the left wing how and where to fight,” says William Z. Foster in the introduction to this book. "Every militant and progressive worker who hopes to become a factor in the trade union movement must become acquainted with Lenin's great work in the field of trade unionism."
We add that this book is as interesting as any story can be of the personal development of any genius in any field of human endeavor.

The Hallacores's Quarter. By this designation have the Bramins, who describe them, thought proper to discriminate this group of caves, which, though making no conspicuous figure here, would render any other place illustrious. They, under this term of pollution, endeavour to deter visitors from entering it, though the large cave is a very fine one; over the front of which a river, in the rainy season, rushes into the plain below, forming a sheet of water, that, in a beautiful cascade, covers the front of the excavation as with a curtain of crystal. There are two stripes of stone that run parallel to each other along the floor, from the entrance, the whole depth of this cave, (the prospect from which, of the great tank, town, and valley of Ellora, &c. is beautiful,) and seem intended as seats either for students, scribes, or the sellers of some commodities, a convenient passage lying between them up to the Idol at the end of the cave. 1,1, Stripes of stone running through the area of the temple. 2,2, Apartments of the Idol, a sitting figure with curled hair, the soles of his feet are turned up.

JAGANNATHA SABHA
This view, which is one of the first shewn to a stranger, must strike him with astonishment, whether he considers the vast labour which must have been bestowed on it in mere excavation, the rock being of red granite; or whether he considers the infinite pains which it must have taken to form the pillars and finish the numerous sculptural decorations: but when he is informed that the whole mountain is full of excavations, and that many are larger and still more elaborate, he is quite at a loss how to credit what he hears. The lower apartment of Jagannatha Sabha is too much choked up with earth, &c. to admit of any accurate description. On the left side of the area is an excavation rudely finished, and on the right, other small excavations alike choked up. The ascent to the upper story is by the flight of steps, No. 1,1. No. 2,2,2,2, The verandah. No. 3, The principal apartment. No. 4, Sud. No. 5, Budh, standing figures. No. 6, A large figure of Jagannatha, an idol sitting cross-legged, with his hands in his lap one over the other. No. 7 and 8, His two attendants, Jaya and Vijaya, doorkeepers of Vishnu. There are many small figures of Jagannatha on the walls; they all appear to be naked, and to have no other covering on the head than curled hair. The height of this excavation from the floor to the ceiling, is thirteen feet four inches.

Another part of the Junwassa is described by Sir Charles Warre Malet, in the sixth volume of the Asiatic Researches, and is the nearest to the waterfall; it is about eighty feet in length, including the recesses at the end; and nearly thirty in breadth, taking in the verandah, which formerly had a row of pillars in front, but now nearly all destroyed.
Both these excavations are marked by No. 5, in the margin of the first general view. No. 6, Comar Warra, the next cave to the right; the entrance to which is obstructed by fragments of the fallen pillars, formerly six in number, and two pilasters supported the roof of the verandah, on which is sculptured Surya, or the sun, in his chariot drawn by seven horses. The first apartment is eighty feet in length and thirty wide, the interior is not so long; a pedestal is remaining, but no figure in the recess of the idol, the door of which is guarded by two gigantic figures, called Dwara-Pala, or door-keepers.

The height of this excavation in no part exceeds ten feet.
