Wherever he looked, whether at q
lovely sunset scene or some radiant
picture. he saw q sheen Of gold red
hair, q cheek the hue Of rose leaf
and eyes as tender as the softest
moonlight. It affected the heart like
enchanted music. The hushed dreams
Of youth we're awakened and his pulse
bounded at the alarm.
He sat now-he, Norman Dacey-
young, rich in money but dissatisfied
of soul, telling the story Of it all to his
closest friend, Elliott Hughes. As he
spoke his subdued tones reminded Of
q poet traversing some sweet and ten
der lay, for into his barren life had
come q purpose-to find one woman
he had seen and to tell her that he
loved her.
All about them was the luxury and
refinement of magnificent home that
had resounded to the chatter and song
and gayety Of brocaded danes and
radiant bejeweled demoiselles. Now,
however, there was only q flashing
recollection of a homespun garb, plain
and simple, and the old.fashioned
brooch Dacey had been showing his
friend, valued more than the Dacey
family jewels.

But the work of mapping out the

"Well. why don't you get her7" in.

They went up into the observatory

The Holy League

TIME Holy League" was
signed by the various con-
tracing parties four hun
dred and two years ago-October
4. 1911.
The organizer of the league was
Julius Second, the Fighting
Bishop" of Rome. Jealous of the
French rule in Italy, which Sc
riously threatened his temporal
dominion in the peninsula, Ju-
Illus induced Macmillan, Ferdi-
nand, Henry the Eighth of Eng
land, and the Swiss to Join with
him in expelling the French from
their Italian possessions. 1t was
in the war following the forma-
ton Of the league that the young
French knight, CASTOR de Folk,
made his great fame as a battle
winner; and it was largely ow-

Proved the Doctrine Was
Once an Integral Part
of Christianity.

He declares that Mr.. Brockles-
by, "a man Of most prodigious
learning" had published a book in
17O6, proving this doctrine to be
an integral part of Christianity,
and he quotes a number Of great
names of his own time, all Of whom
believed this doctrine to be part Of
Christianity. DR.. Butler, the Bish-
op Of Durham-so that we even
have a Bishop on our side in deal
ing with the orthodoxy Of this in
the Christian Church, and no one,
1 think, will challenge the ortho-
doxy of DR.. Butler-Dr. Henry
Moore, DR.. Cheyne and>the Cheva-
lier Ramsay. So that the teaching
only disappeared for a time in the
flood Of ignorance that swept over
Europe after the decay of the Ro-
man Empire.
Nor has the teaching faded out
of the minds Of philosophers and
poets. Need l remind you of those
well-known words of Wordsworth:
Our birth is but a sleep and a for
getting.
The soul that rises with us, our
life's star,
Hath elsewhere had its setting
And cometh from afar.
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not In utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we
come
From God, who is our home"
. All the teachings Of this philoso-
ply are for the good of the human
race.
They are for the moral uplift of
society.
One who understands the very
rudiments of reincarnation and
Karma must know that every
thought of his mind is helping to
shape his destiny here on earth, in
the realms beyond and on the earth
when he returns.

origin Of our own culture and
beliefs. 1t seems that the great
religious bodies of the world
ought to join In securing funds
for this work OF searching out the
true origin of all religions. They
are in the chambers in rock, at
the ends of these long corridors
and passages in the newly dis
covered Osireon.
For inNthese chambers the wise
of the earth, during many thou
sands of years, came from other
great religious centers and tenn
pies in Ceylon, Cambodia, India,
BactriA, Iran, Babylon, Nineveh,
Palmyra, Tadmur, Arabia, Petrea,
Jerusalem, Meroe, Greece, Rome
and Gaul to be initiated in secret
and most solemn rites, when the
candidates simulated death, only
to be resurreoted and then told
at low breath by hlerophants that
when the body actually dies the
mind still lives.
A Wealth of Gold.
And the hundreds Of millions
OF wealth Of gold and Jewels
brought as tokens of affection
by the initiates are probably
there now. For the entrance 70
the inclined way was almost i'm
possible to discover by NJ. Naville
of late. The polished walls of
descent to the crypts, rooms and
chambers of this simply amazing
Osireon, the worlds temple of
Osiris and Isis, are literally COW
cred with rock-cut inscriptions
from the great Bible of Egypt
the Book Of the Dead. These In
scriptions are selected passages
from their scriptures relating to
the career Of the departed in the
future world. These are given
in such minute detail that the
% traveller at liberation Of the mind
by death of the body, the freed
ego, or personality, could antici-
pate his destiny, beyond his Jor-
dan, the Nile.
And now the managers of the
coming worlds exhibition in San
Francisco in 1915 ought by all
means make immediate effort to
secure a few of these Egyptian
wonders, now being sent to all the
national museums of Europe.
