THE EVOLUTION OF RELIGION 151 



you cannot believe all your religion teaches, try and believe 

 all you can, and do and act up to what you believe, for it is the 

 fond reminder of the instruction of your mother, and of the 

 virtues she taught you, and it is the inheritance her mother's 

 mother, and her mother before her have bequeathed to you, 

 and no other power on earth will do as much to help you to 

 love your neighbour as the thought of the mother who loved 

 you in your youth and weakness, and so religion will help you 

 to think kindly of your neighbour's weaknesses and enable 

 you to forgive them their faults, for religion is the weakness 

 and strength combined of the mothers who brought God's for-

 amidst the fables of all nations and the mysteries of evolution, 

 the truths of revelation which are to help man to know, be- 

 lieve and obey the God who has created and blessed him. The 

 truths that are (when he gains the soul of the understand- 

 ing of True Wisdom), through a better knowledge of God's 

 Trinity and the evolution and creation as they are unrolled 

 from the past by science and religion, and so made manifest 

 to the soul of man, as they pass through the cinematograph 

 of evolution, to be depicted in the minds of future generations, 

 in such a manner as will enable mankind some day to reduce 

 crime to such a minimum it will be a thing of the past. 



But this will not happen till further attributes of God 

 the Holy Ghost are returned to creation during the Epoch of 

 Charity. It is with the greatest feelings of the utter hope- 

 lessness of the task before me, that I shall now endeavour to
