io THE THRESHOLD OF EVOLUTION 



life, for where there is no life there can be no likeness but only 

 a resemblance to the God of Life. This gives us a Trinity of 

 Creations and a Trinity of Existences. 



Now I have already demonstrated that God, being a perfect 

 Trinity, all things made by Him must bear the trade mark of 

 Trinity to be perfect, so all facts to be proved or demonstrated 

 as being truths of Creation or Evolution, if not capable of 

 being reduced to a trinity, must be considered as requiring 

 further proof or demonstration. They yet require some addi- 

 tion or they cannot be more than a possibility if they have only 

 one factor of trinity, or a probability if they have only two 

 factors in their favour. Again, if only one force of action is 

 apparent we must seek for the existence of two others before 

 a complete result can be obtained ; also no new evolution or 

 distinct force of creation can arise till after a trinity of forces 

 have produced their effect, and it further follows that the 

 result produced from one trinity must form the first step in 

 a new trinity which will have to be completed in its turn three 

 times before any staple result can be obtained, and this is 

 where the mathematical Table IV. will be found useful, not 

 only in evolution but also in other Sciences. 



To return to my subject, it is also illogical to suppose that 

 an imperfect sweetheart would satisfy a perfect lover, so the 

 only trinity possible is the one we have just pointed out, the 

 trinity of God, Man and Angels (or Animals). 



The question has now resolved itself into the question as 

 to how this is to be brought about. As already shown, the 

 only way this could be accomplished was by God withdrawing 

 twenty of the attributes of His Trinity from the whole twenty- 

 one, and gradually returning these withdrawn as evolu- 

 tion progressed and so bring about its advancement to produce 

 a perfect creation at the finish. I have now followed each 

 logical sequence till we arrive far enough to continue the fur- 

 ther course of evolution. 



God therefore decided to create the Universe wherein each 

 part should, after three stages of progression and retrogression, 

 in turn come to its own perfection. Each in turn to start from 

 a perfect minority which is destined to deteriorate as it increases 

 until its deterioration produces in time a bad majority destined 

 in its turn to give place to a more advanced minority which 

 should be replaced in turn by a deteriorated majority and be
