know as the ancient nations, the old
Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and Ara
plans, few great characters stand
out prominently in each of them, but
only a few, while the masses of those
nations seem TO have been engulfed in
an abyss of ignorance and helpless
ness Today this great difference is
not so striking. In the west and es-
pecially in America, there has been
leveling process. The knowledge that
was then confined to the few has been
disseminated among the common peo-
pie. This process of leveling will pro-
coed for thousands of years, until every
member of the human race shall have
reached at least as great a develop
ment as is now possessed by the great
est of living statesmen, scholars and
philosophers. A similar development
is mapped out by the destiny of man to
take place in the physical surround
ings of humanity, for all development
first arises on the mental plane and
then reacts upon the physical condi-
ton. Today. While there are few
who are enjoying all the comforts and
luxurieS of life, there are thousands
who are striving to gain daily crust
of bread-thousands who are engulIed
in the most pitiful poverty But there
is hope for them; there is help at hand,
much nearer perhaps than the most
sanguine of them may imagine. Causes
have alredy been set in motion which
will bring relief. The time viii shortly
arrive when the comforts and neceSsl-
ties of life viii be much more equally
distributed than at the present The
next few years, according to state
ments from those who know. are TO
bring many reforms in our social sur
rOundings. Perhaps the most import
ant of the events at hand is the eS-
adjustment in America in the near
future of a School for the Revival of
the Lost Mysteries of Antiquity, which
was announced at the New York con-
vention last April, and which, it is
said, will be indirectly in charge OF
some Of the adopts. and in which will
be given free instruction in those Sa
cred truths which have been lost to
the world for over 1000 years. This
school will give new and mighty i'm
pulse to the spiritual growth of man,
and will teach the true relation of man
to man, and of man to the Deity. The
school will be established by the real
founders of the Philosophical society
the masters-and its pupils are to be
those who have served their time in
the lesser mysteries. or the proceed
ing degrees, viz, in the discipline of
the soul and the service of humanity
These may enter the greater mysteries
and become masters by evolving tC
higher planes of knowledge ard power.
on the one consideration that such
power and knowledge shall be devoted
unreservedly and forever to the serv-
ice of humanity.
Aside from the advance IN social
life and in spirituality which is fore
Swallowed. the field of invention will
bring forth greater achievements than
have yet been reached, and also
greater discoveries be made by science
The cause for the advance in the
economics and political conditions, and
for the new discoveries in science, as
well as the future Improvement in
morality, lies in the fact that a new
race is about to appear, one which
will need better surroundings than we
now possess; a race which will possess
keener moral and psychic perceptions
and greater genius. America is to be
the home of the sixth SUFFRAGE and is
to rise to vegy high development. Our
life will be in this world for millen-
NUNS yet TO come-until the world
and every entity living in it, shall have
been raised to a certain degree of per-
fection. What progress lies beyond
the human mind cannot know
