testant religionists asserted loudly that
nothing ought to be preached save that
which every one could grasp.

True enough. If by this it were meant
that there are some religious truths that
all can grasp. and, that a religion fails
II 1t leaves the lowest, the most ignor-
ant, the most dull. outside the pale Of
its elevating influence. But false, IL by
this It meant that religion has no truths
that the ignorant cannot understand.

that II has nothing to teach which is
above the thought OF the unintellgent
Is Christianity to survive as the re-
ligton of the West? Is II to live through
the centuries OF the future, and to con-
unue TO play a part in moldinE the
| thought of the evolving Western races?
II II Is to live. IL must regain the knovl-
edge It has lost. and again have its mys-
tic and its occult teachings: 1t must
again stand forth as an authoritative
teacher OF spiritual verities. clothed with
the only authority worth anything, the
authority Of knowledge
Occult Christianity must reappear in
the temple. and dwell behind the Veil
which guards the Holy Of Holies,'' into
which only the initiate may enter. Then
again will occult teaching be within the

rules.

regards the words of Jesus and His
apostles as Of supreme authority. next
week we will not only review the words

]. A. Macdonald, the great Toronto

problems and their are among the rich
those who have a high desire to do
justice. For both classes there is no
permanent and adequate solution of the
problem that does not change the mo-
tives and viewpoint of men. This is the
church's greatest chance-to reconstruct
the brotherhood. It would revive again
the old evangel and the old enthusiasm.
The modern church has as much as
Peter, James, and John had. They had
only an idea, but that idea changed the
Roman empire. It is for the church to

be no social parasites high or low. but
one In which a man should be ministered
to in proportion to his need and a man
should serve in proportion to his posses

brotherhood is the fulfillment of gospel.

BY DIR. WV. BAKER.


There is a widespread and popular idea
that there is no such thing as an occult
teaching in connection with Christianity.
and that The Mysteries were a purely
Pagan institution.
II has actually been made a matter Of
boast that Christianity has no secrets,
that whatever 1t has TO say 1t says to all,
and whatever IL has to teach II teaches
TO all Its truths are supposed to be so
simple. that "a way-faring man, though
fool may not err therein" and the
simple gospel has become a stock
phrase
Now all men are not at the same level
of evolution, but evolution might be fig
ured as a rising gradient. with men sta
toned on II at every point. The most
highly evolved are far above the least
evolved, both in intelligence and char
acter: the capacity alike to understand
and to act varies at every stage.
Even within any given civilization we
find the most varied types-the most ig-
norant and the most educated, and each
must be helped in the place where he is.
II evolution be true. thu difficulty is
inevitable. and must be faced and over
come by the Divine Teacher. else will His
work be a failure.
We are thus brought face to face with
the position that we cannot have one
and the same religious teaching even for
a single nation, still less for single
civilization, or for the whole world. And
are led to the absolute necessity OF q
varied and graduated religious teaching.
such as will, meet these different needs
and help each man in his own place.
But there also arises the necessity OF
Withholding certain teachings from those
who, morally, are as yet untitled to re-
ceive them: and this necessity presses on
every teacher who is able to impart such
knowledge. He desires TO give II to those
who will use the power II confers for
the general good, for quickening human
evolution; but he equally desires to be no
party to giving 1t to those who would
use il for their own aggrandisement at
the cost of others.
This is not a matter of theory, only.
This knowledge was, in ancient times
and on the continent of Atlantis, given
without any rigid conditions as to the
moral elevation, purity, and unselhsh
ness of the candidates. Those who
were intellectually qualified were
taught, just as men are taught or
binary science in modern days. The
publicity now demanded was then
given. with the result that men be-
came not only giants in knowledge, but
also giants in evil. till the earth
groaned under her oppressors. Then
came the destruction OF Atlantis, the
whelming OF that vast continent be-
meath the waters of the ocean, some par
ticulars of which are given in the
Hebrew Scriptures in the story of the
Noachian deluge. and in the Hindu
Scriptures of the further East in the
story of Vaivasvata Manu-.
Since that experience of the danger
of allowing unpurified hands to grasp
the knowledge which Is power the
great teachers have imposed rigid con-
ditions as regards purity. unselfishness.
and self-control on all candidates for
such instruction.
