COURSE OF EVOLUTION 5 



and Civilisation have brought crime to its second stage of per- 

 fection in the days of the Roman Empire, Religion advances 

 for its third and last flight under the command of Christ, the 

 third and most perfect Son of God the Mother made man. 



Science then comes to the aid of Government to create 

 Commerce and lead Conquest along its second step of advance- 

 ment through the darkest and brightest ages of Religion and 

 so give birth to Feudalism, which will by its laws of 

 heredity advance the laws of descent past their first step of 

 caste until Understanding shall dawn in the sky of evolution to 

 supplant Superstition and Bigotry by a full and perfect under- 

 standing of God's Trinity, and so prepare man at last to receive 

 true revelation and the immortal soul that is to grant him an 

 everlasting existence and happiness. Then he shall be king 

 of a self -conquered world, governed by a self -conquered king, 

 ruled over by a self -created religion. For when understanding 

 is complete, man's soul, now fully developed, will have at last 

 become a Religion unto himself, and he will have learned to 

 hold wealth without selfishness or meanness, but with genero- 

 sity and charity, and to rule in peace with Mercy and 

 Justice ; and to love without Jealousy, Hate or Revenge. And 

 so man will have learned to sin without crime and therefore 

 have completed the equation of his existence, when death, the 

 wage of sin, carried by folly and abuse to the extent of crime, 

 shall be no more.
