COURSE OF EVOLUTION 3 



make up the Epoch of Hope and thus produce the human mind. 

 In the age of Charity, commencing somewhere about the year 

 1800 A. D., mankind is to begin to evolve his soul of wisdom, and 

 Science and Invention are to convert the physical fight into a 

 psychological one, in which wisdom is to finally destroy the 

 serpent of murder, cannibalism, robbery, selfishness and greed, 

 which qualities constitute the devil that man has created, the 

 serpent on whose head woman has put her foot, by the 

 evolution of love and religion during the Epoch of Hope. And 

 now the Holy Ghost is to descend, in the Epoch of Charity, 

 which is now just commencing, and take up his abode in the 

 minds of men, thereby increasing their wisdom in science and 

 revelation till he can learn to control his acts and passions, and 

 thus be won back to God and virtue, and so finally destroy the 

 serpent of vice which crawls amongst the filth of the earth. 



The creation of the mind of a devil in the brain of mankind 

 completes the first stage of Convolution, and the dawn of 

 evolution and the seven days of Genesis which constitute the 

 Epoch of Faith or first seven days of the evolution of creation 

 which are now complete. The temperature has now fallen 

 below one hundred and forty degrees, and further change in 

 the shape, class and species of men and animals is thereby 

 brought to a close. Henceforth, to all intents and purposes, 

 the physical evolution of the world is complete and will only 

 continue on lines already evolved. Future changes will be 

 mental rather than physical evolutions, but it will take the 

 first half of the Epoch of Hope to perfect the bodily energy 

 of mankind so as to fit him to evolve and utilise a mind which 

 he is at the same time evolving, for the three Epochs overlap 

 each other in the same way as the days do in the course of 

 evolution, wherein three concurrent evolutions are ever pro- 

 gressing each in advance of the other throughout the entire 

 course of creation. 



But mankind by evolving sin has now made it possible also 

 to evolve a Mind and Soul, and, most important of all, to 

 evolve Virtues, for without the power to sin he could never 

 have made any conquests of wisdom over folly, or success over 

 failure, so would have been forever devoid of any just claims 

 to have laid at the feet of God's throne of judgment as reasons 

 why he should be granted health as a reward of temperance, 

 riches in return for economy, respect in return for self-control
