3 o THE THRESHOLD 



CREATED male and female in 

 the likeness of the same gen- 

 der being also present in the 

 personalities of Ms Creator. 

 Note also the distinction of 

 " Him " and " them." It 

 appears to me that this pas- 

 sage of Genesis tends to en- 

 dorse the correctness of the 

 hypothesis I am trying to il- 

 lustrate to my reader, viz., 

 that in the soul of man is the 

 likeness of the first and third 

 persons of God's Trinity, and 

 in woman is the likeness of the 

 second personality. Of course, 

 these are combined in mankind 

 by marriage to some extent, 

 but their not being entirely 

 combined is but one distinction 

 more between the finite and in- 

 finite, but which nevertheless 

 is quite in accordance with the 

 only logical assumption of the 

 creation of finity, within the 

 bounds of infinity. It also shows 

 the why and the wherefore, 

 and the necessity for the mir- 

 acle of redemption by the Sons 

 of God the Mother, made man 

 in Cain, Seth and Christ. 

 Although I am of opinion that 

 the results of Evolution point 

 to the existence of two prehis- 

 toric redeemers, which would 

 make a trinity of redemption, 

 but it is quite in accordance 

 with the rules of the evolution 

 of Religion, that all the his- 

 torical past traces of their ex- 

 istence should be obliterated,

ment of animal existence and 

 become the greatest beast. 

 For, as until to-day, ill-health, 

 sin and poverty are amongst 

 our greatest blessings, ever 

 urging mankind to strive with 

 increasing energy to attain 

 health, wealth, virtue and com- 

 fort, so sin was the main cause 

 of his being able to excel all 

 other animals. And just as 

 we see to-day, although the 

 average distribution of wealth 

 is settled by the laws of de- 

 scent, which are the strongest 

 of all laws, still those who 

 obtain the huge fortunes of to- 

 day are frequently those reared 

 in the greatest poverty and 

 hardship. And in the same 

 way those who are well-bred, 

 if they become failures, sink 

 to the direst poverty. There 

 is never much alteration in the 

 wealth of the masses, who only 

 advance at the same rate as 

 evolution. And you will ever 

 find that God in His excep- 

 tions only proves the rules of 

 His revelations, laws and rules 

 and regulations. I will here 

 leave my subject to point out 

 the three exceptions made by 

 God to assert His prerogative 

 to rule over all creation. The 

 first of the three is made in the 

 Epoch of Faith and material- 

 ism, and is the one excep- 

 tion to the laws of chemistry 

 and natural philosophy. It is
