146 THE THRESHOLD OF EVOLUTION 



of God the Holy Ghost is from this onward to start to so evolve 

 his Soul so that he will in time be able not only to see and to 

 believe, but even to " know and understand all things even 

 to the consummation of the world," including the truths of 

 revelation which his mind has hitherto been insufficiently 

 developed to be able to do more than see and believe, and 

 which have not yet been opened to the understanding of man 

 until the last one hundred years except in fables, myths and 

 parables. Now the scales of bigotry are starting to fall from 

 the eyes of man all this is to be changed. If you refer to 

 Table I. and Table III. of the attributes of God's Trinity, 

 you will see that Knowledge and Invention were very slightly 

 understood by man till the last two hundred years, and that 

 we are only at the dawn of Involution, and we can say that it 

 is only during the last hundred years we have learnt to under- 

 stand or to know anything about science and invention, or 

 the electrical currents and radio-activity that control the soul. 



And the aim of my treatise is to point out that the 

 better understanding of the mystery of God's Trinity, from a 

 scientific standpoint, is the only means by which we can pre- 

 vent the tendency of modern science and government degene- 

 rating into the false channels of materialism which is ever 

 threatening to submerge beneath its doctrines all and every 

 vestige of divine revelation, an evil so great that it must be 

 checked at all cost. The present war and the civil wars that 

 are to follow it will all play their part to solve this most impor- 

 tant problem of mental evolution, and so do their part to 

 remove the social unrest and the national dangers that in- 

 creased liberty and the supplanting of the ignorance, super- 

 stition and bigotry of the past by a greater amount of freedom 

 of opinion and knowledge which the present age is now pro- 

 ducing amongst the large masses of mankind whose minds are 

 not yet sufficiently developed to be able to reason as well as 

 think, and whose wills are yet too weak to be able to direct 

 their footsteps along a pathway through which they have been 

 led in the past by the helping hand of religion, the power of 

 which hand lay mainly, if not solely in the propagation of 

 ignorance and superstition. In the past this has been the 

 guiding hand by which the little child of man's undeveloped 

 mind and will has been led. In the last century by 

 the loss of the controlling hand we have thrown away the
