72 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



The trinity of the soul of man, IMAGINATION, COM- 

 PREHENSION, and UNDERSTANDING. 

 The trinity of the mind of animal, ACTION or MOTION, 

 THOUGHT and MIND. 



So the reader will now see that this is the fittest place for the 

 insertion of the trinity of soul, in Table III., and when we 

 have inserted it in this manner, which is done and shown in 

 Table III., after marriage No. 4, Day Six, see Table II. 

 We find that as we have also inserted the two divorces of 

 trinity in their place at the commencement of Table III., this 

 places Religion, which is No. 5 in the Table of marriages as 

 No. 10, so it now corresponds with the result of the fifth 

 marriage which appears as Study in Table II., and as Study 

 evolves Religion it is not out of place in this arrangement, 

 and then all the rest of our marriages of trinity are found to 

 correspond with the days of evolution and creation. I am 

 also of opinion that the Hypothesis I am now expounding is 

 the only one that will account for the involution of man's 

 mind (see Book II., Chapter 6). 



We noted that on the Seventh Day we celebrated the 

 triumph of man over the animal kingdom by his learning to 

 sin, and henceforward till we reach the Fourteenth Day of 

 the world about the year 1800 A.D., man will be devoting 

 his bodily energies to the evolution of his mind and to the 

 conquest of the world of matter he is to govern when he has 

 learned to conquer the crimes it was necessary he should 

 commit to enable him to conquer the world and the animal 

 kingdom; not to conquer sin, as divines would have us be- 

 lieve; and to learn how to be able to gain the reward of the 

 virtues he is thereby evolving. As he learns habits of tem- 

 perance and overcomes abuse of God's gifts, he will proceed 

 to evolve his soul. 



I think I have now reached the fit and proper place to illus- 

 trate that there is a marked difference in the abstract view we 

 are compelled to take in a subject like this from the manner 

 in which we have to regard the same subjects in ordinary con- 

 versation or in our ordinary acceptance of the terms. And 

 although not intending to advocate sin in its common accept- 

 ance of the word, or to detract from the enormity of crime, 

 it is nevertheless necessary to the true understanding of the
