ever since the Fall Not one of his affections
or desires, his passions or his feelings, have been
satisfied completely in the midst of this lnccssant
struggle, even when, to all appearance, clrcum-
stances were entirely favorable.
The generality of men and women cannot even
satisfy the common wants OF nature, even IN the
heart of Christendom, in this enlightened age
of civilized duplicity. They cannot obtain whole
some food and clothing in abundance for the body,
but are literally perishing by thousands i'll the frozen
atmosphere OF business and slow starvation.
What is, then, the measure Of a Man THAT is,
of an Angel, or Social individuality, whose APP
petites, and feelings, and passions, and affections
are at peace within themselves, with God and
with their neighbor? This is the problem of So
cicty which must be solved before the 6" will of
God can be done iii earth as it is in Heaven;
and the way to find the key to this solution is
pointed out to us in Scripture =" Seek yc first
the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and
all these things (worldly comiorts) shall be added
unto you" The law of Love and of Divine Or
der, is the law of Heaven, the Kingdom of God
and his righteousness, and this law Is the law OF
Harmony on earth {" the measure OF d (Soclal)
Man,-that is, of the Angel whose passions and
affections arc in harmony with God, with Man,
and with the Universe.
Such Man is the Collective Family, or So
cal Man, inhabiting a Phalanstery. The pas
sions and affections, appctites and tastes, OF
Collective Man similar to those of mere IN
dividual, in name and quality, and differ only
with regard TO various degrees multiplicity
and specifically considered, the varieties OF pas
sion or desire in the soul of Man, are twelve III
number but of three Distinctions moral, intel
lcctual and physical, trinity in unity, when har-
monzed in one religious aspiration. This three
fold distinction subdlvded gives us twelve varieties
of individual desires, faculties; FIVE varieties OF
sense, or physical propensity; four varieties OF So
ca feeling or affection and three of intellectual
desires. These twelve elementary faculties or
passions of the soul. divided into twelve degrees
forming a complete scale OF variety
in each desire, give us the measure OF Man,
both individually and collectively the difference
being not i'll name, but in degrees OF power. cine
word passion is here used ncutraly, without regard
to a true or false devclopcmcnt.) IN Coicclive
Man. or Phalanx, each Faculty IS represented by

formed in the PhalanX TO represent the sense oil

food for the whole Phalanx fifth serves 1t at

all the wants and comforts Immediately connected
with and dependent on the sense OF Taste IN
