ing the existence of a supreme intelligence.
There is now no fool lin his heart saying
there is no God" and but few saying so
in their heads. Theosophy brought to the
greatest atheist of England a god and a
pillow of rest Cosmology in the Occident
was chaotic; there was no way to account
for the systems, no way to tell what mate
rial they were made of, where it came
from, or who formulated them, or where
the models or plans and specifications came
from. Theosophy furnished the keys.
showing that i'm the systems of the world
building the septenary law of matter was
employed, that the physical worlds were
built upon the astral models, that the
astral models were built on the mental
models, and that the mental models were
built on the spiritual achetypes emanating
from the councils of the great world and
system builders" What a wondrous sys-
tenn is the cosmology of theosophyl Every
key furnished, every link provided,
every plane luminous! When we think
of each globe being composed of seven
globes, each with it's forms, its life and
consciousness; when we find that each
globe is the center of a chain of seven
globes, and that each of these chains of
globes is a reincarnation or reproduction
from a similar chain of globes, which
pass out of existence from a lower
plane that the new ones may appear on the
higher plane; when, too, we remember that
the solar and stellar systems arc septanary
and that they are a reincarnation of SINH
lar systems which pass out to make way
for the new; when we remember, too, that
the universes are sepentary and that they
are reincarnations from similar ones which
have passed away in the great tragedy that
is being played i'm infinite space and dura-
ton; when we try to comprehend the pc
RODS of sleep or rest and of action, a sleep
of three hundred and eleven trillions
and forty billions of solar years,
and of other periods represented by a unit
and sixty ciphers we are lost-absolutely
lost-in the meshes of wonder and infnity.
The great rhythm of the universes folding
in during rest time or pralaya dnvolution)
and folding out during manvantara (evolu-
tom, called the breath of Brahm, - is the
only system of cosmology that can stand
the test Of reason, justice or goodness.
The cosmology of our colleges and univer-
stiles is wholly unseientific and so full of
gaps and unexplained elements it is worth
less. None of the curriculums look back of
physical matter, while theosophy points
out six planes of cosmos beyond the physi-
cal. Even applying this teaching to our
solor system, one of the smallest, it's value
is manifest. Our earth is one of a chain of
seven; these are a reproduction or rein
carnation of the lunar chain. The lunar
chain goes through a process of decay and
of transference of it's forces and essences
to the terrestrial chain, during which the
seven globes of the earth chain are pro-
duced, each in its order, by the process of
seven waves of life and consciousness. in
orderly succession, each forming, in COM
pliance with the s%eptenary law, a globe in
the terrestrial chain, and after each set or

so as each globe of the lunar chain passes
to the earth chain. at each forty-ninth
