i98 THE PORTAL OF EVOLUTION 



standing is truly the highest order of mind, for it is the mind 

 of soul and wisdom, and it alone can raise man to a perfect 

 understanding of how to differentiate between truth and false- 

 hood by the production of proofs necessary to assist compre- 

 hension or to show man the truth that, seeing, he may believe ; 

 but it requires the mind of God the Holy Ghost (that is the 

 Soul of God, which is complete understanding) to be free of 

 error. The human mind of Understanding will in time teach 

 man all things even unto the consummation of the world, that 

 knowing, so far as possible divine wisdom, he may understand, 

 which is better than seeing and believing. 



This is the work Science will have to perform in the 

 future to advance religion. But to know truth from false- 

 hood, right from wrong, what is correct from what is error, 

 requires that both science and religion must act in obedience 

 to the mind of Logic and Comprehension. It therefore appears 

 to me that it is only by a better knowledge of Evolution, read 

 in conjunction with these tables of the Trinity, that we will 

 ever be able to check, weigh and decide with perfect correct- 

 ness the errors both of science, knowledge and religion, and to 

 come at the true meaning and perfect understanding of, and a 

 clear knowledge of the perfect wisdom of a complete human 

 comprehension of divine revelation which alone can teach us 

 perfect self-control. And that it is only the mind and 

 soul of man that is made in the perfect likeness of God's 

 Trinity, although all creation is to some extent in the 

 likeness of His Trinity in so far as it is always made up of 

 a trinity of forces. Thus motion, heat and chemical action 

 is the trinity of light that tend to form matter ; motion, 

 love and thought is the trinity of life which forms divine 

 and human existence and so on through all creation. And 

 that it is only by a correct understanding of these facts and 

 of the Trinity of God and the various manners and forms in 

 which it influences creation that we can truly learn to compre- 

 hend nature, and check correctly so far as to clearly under- 

 stand science, life and duty, and learn how to use, not abuse, 

 nature's gifts. 



This is the mind that man is now beginning to evolve 

 during the last one hundred years, and which is to enable 

 him to conquer crime, and learn how to govern himself in the 

 future Epoch of Charity now dawning, in which he is to
