nod of the head. "And his three sons are YOU too
only in a different way. Let me explain There
are nnumerabe forms in the world and each
tiniest thing has its individual voice or expression
But there are in reality but three divisions of
man. just as Noah is pictured with three sons"
The three divisions of man." l questioned
What are they?"
There is but one Material and its voice is
science There is but one Life and its voice is
philosophy. There is but Soul and its voice is
poetry. BY Your word poetry l mean religion,
truth.
This is the idea illustrated in the Book of Noah
which is the Book OF Man. Noah, as nave said,
represents Man, and his three the three di-
visions of Man, or the trinity of Man. body mind
and soul. The two former are manifestations of
the latter, and are the miracles by which the ma

understandings
"Wonderful!" sat still wondering what was to

You see, continued the Ancient, that you are
as say The Book of Man. in which is written
the complete history of creation Nothing that is
in the universe but is bound up in Your BODY
The inventions over which you eNpend so much
admiration and wonder all in you, performing
their missions without Boosting. The giant lever
and crane that lifts the steam engine and carries
it about the machine shop as child might carry
doll house were taken direct from the
shoulder and arm of man. Every useful tool
every delicate statue every bit of carving
every delicate piece of mechanism in the
world has its counterpart in your body You
pride yourself upon your invention when in
fact you have done nothing but reproduce
yourself in separate parts.
Such a thought does not belittle man. On
the contrary it ennobles him. 1t makes the
individual as important as the universe it
self. Every being becomes universal. In
him are all the elements combined Through
his veins flow the Mississippi and the Gauges
and all the lesser rivers of the earth.
In him rises the sun to travel it's
course and be swallowed uD in the
deep of night. In him is twi'i hit and
