n6 THE THRESHOLD OF EVOLUTION 

 Aryan Races, who, by the higher comprehension of the truths 

 of divine revelation which are contained in and revealed only 

 by a careful study of God as he exists in Nature, are now to 

 evolve the highest moral codes of Justice, Honour and Mercy, 

 of one God and His Trinity and its twenty-one attributes. 



While watching their herds and flocks in the moonlight, 

 they let their imaginations wander among the stars that 

 studded the heavens and dreamed of the Mighty King of the 

 Universe who rules the forces of wind, rain and cold, to pre- 

 vent the ravages of which is the one thought and care of the 

 patriarchal King of the family or clan whose experience, 

 honesty and wisdom of control they not only worship but 

 obey ; whose flocks and herds being held in common bind 

 them together, and whose hereditary powers of judgment, wis- 

 dom and mercy, the daughters of superabundant wealth, make 

 him ever thoughtful of their wants and cares. They realise 

 that his wealth and comfort are the outcome of their united co- 

 operation to protect their flocks and herds, just as they realise 

 that it is his wise and thoughtful direction of their united 

 efforts that enables them to combine to protect their herds or 

 hunt their now scarce and wily game, for management, unity 

 and co-operation are Aryan evolutions. Thus he evolves from 

 his Imagination in such environments a higher order of 

 abstract astronomy, comprehension and philosophy, moral 

 rectitude and religious belief in one God instead of in Idolatry. 



But the Mongolian or Southern Races, who remained in 

 warmer climates, turn these new acquisitions of Imagination 

 to account in a different manner from that of their northern 

 brethren, whose nomadic life is opposed to loading themselves 

 up with unportable necessities that are cumbersome to trans- 

 port, so are content with a rug, a billy and a tent for accom- 

 modation. Not so the children of Cain, who, the Bible tells 

 us, were husbandmen. These, finding the climate and soil 

 more amenable to improvement so as to fit it to supply their 

 wants without appeal to extreme energy, or the inconvenience 

 of a wandering existence, they prefer to direct their progress 

 along lines of more continuous, although less strenuous, 

 courses of existence, which are not calculated to increase the 

 particular duty of this age, viz., the perfection of Human 

 Energy and rapid mental comprehension. They prefer to follow 

 the shorter line to wealth and comfort along the road of least
