THE LAW OF UNIVERSAL RHYTHM 



man's knowledge of phenomena knowledge which 

 is power. 



Thus, though the scientific assertion may be that 

 dissolution is imminent in our part of the universe, 

 and that, in accordance with the laws of rhythm, 

 the upward or ascending phase must yield to a 

 stage of undoing and disintegration, yet I, for one, 

 am unprepared to yield assent to this most hope- 

 less of propositions until I am assured that mind 

 is negligible as a factor in the future history of 

 things. Until they can show that man's mind 

 cannot possibly avert the threatened ruin of itself 

 and its products, the upholders of the theory of 

 mechanical rhythm, as futile as stupendous, cannot 

 be held to have proved their case.
