THE MYSTIC PATH OF HUMAN PROGRESS.
THE CHRIST TRIUMPHANT.

! Department, In which the Ideal Man
stands out rs guide. That has also its
work going on amongst US, side by side
with the gentler, more hidden. more spir-
itual work of the Christ. Look over the
story of man and see how. as you study
, it. ii more and more unfOlds the features
Of mighty Plan, in which all the races
and the subraces and the nations of
mankind have each their appropriate
places, each its function and its duty.
Look back over history and see the
mighty changes that have altered the
surface of our globe. Remember how the
great naturalists tell US Of a time when
the huge continent of Lemuria stretched
where now the Pacific rolls See how
moro and more science is beginning TO
recognize that once Africa and America
could be reached from each other dry
| shOd, and that a vast continent spanncd
East and West where now is the Atlantic
Ocean. and a mighty ruling race was
there that spread its civilization far and
wide over the globe. SEQ how with our
great Aryan race both these continents
have vanished. and the surface of earth
and water redistributed makes the habitat
for the ruling race of the time. Glance
onwards and see the signs of the building
again OF a coming continent of islands
thrown up in the vast Pacific of cxtraor-
dinary volcanic activity busy shaping the.
foundations Of 2 new continent on which
humanity shall live and flourish. when
much of our own has been broken up
and shall have disappeared. Realize that
that changing surface OF land and water
goes on side by side with the building up
OF different types OF humanity: that the
Lemurian continent had its own type Of
which the negro is a mixed remnant to-
day: that Atlantis had also its race. the
fourth. OF which YOU can find its traces
in the North American Indians. traces in
the old Egyptians. InyriadS in China and
japan. for the fourth race is still the
most numerous upon earth.
Then see your own type arising, the
great nth race type, the Aryan, spread
ing over the whole Of the hsbitable world.
divided into its various subraces each
distinEuishablc enough when pure as
you can distinguish the Eelt from the
Teuton. the Latin from the Scandinavian.
See how that race is spreading and grow
ing. how IL is dominating. and ruling how
it is colOnizins and building a mighty
Empire. Look Onwards for some hun
dreds of years, and you will see that
race rising to its summit building q
mighty WOrld-Empire greater than the
past has known, into which shall flow
all the power and all the glory of the
nations. in which shall be incarnate that
wondrOus group of mighty intellects, that
now and again comes out into the world
to a race sghen 1t reaches it's zenith, to
be incarnated in the future as in the
past in that wOndrous triumph of the
great Teutonic subrace. See how holds
the West, how it is gripping the East;
realize that all the spreading has a pur-
pose, and behind II stands its Manu-,
guiding and shaping the mighty Empire
which yet shall be. Realize that all wars
and all conquests have a purpose, that
when q nation inyades another. over
sweeps 1t, dominates IL for a time, that
at that period the nation that Is con-
quered profits, as we'll as the conqueror
who learns his lesson. When the Greeks
conquered part of India they brought
with them their Art, and left deep i'm
printed on the Art Of India the mark of
Greece the all-beautifuI. When from
Central Asia there swept down into India
the mighty flood of the Mughals, that de-
veloped another form or Art and enriched
the country that they conquered. MI
these conquests of East by West and
West by East work into the mighty Plan,
