cause and its weaving He therefore
starts from the atom of life and matter
and follows proven truths seeking to
ind the known truth Of spirit. One of
the novelties of this work to the casual
reader will be the authors claim that it
was all written by spirit dictation, and
that he is rather the editor and COM
p1ler than the original author. Mr.. Eos

comprehensive and covers a vast range.
