GOVERNMENT AND SCIENCE 213 



facture, cunning, robbery and intrigue. But China is a world 

 of its own, and has never given much to the rest of civilisa- 

 tion, nor received much from it, nor tried to keep pace with its 

 advances. " In this land," says Ritter, " a people isolated 

 from the rest of the world like islanders, and egotistically lost 

 in wonderment at itself, developed in singular manner a strong 

 and sharply outlined national type. Within this type the in- 

 dividuality of the personal unit was to an extraordinary degree 

 repressed." 



Its isolated position may have had something to do with 

 this uniform type, but it will not account for all the marked 

 differences and lack of power of progression between the Mon- 

 golian and the Caucasian or Aryan races. The former neither 

 alters in manners, form or shape, body or mind. Nevertheless, 

 the Chinese mark the boundary line in civilisation beyond 

 which the Mongolian race in its development has not pro- 

 gressed. (See Historians' History of the World, Vol. XXIV.). 



It appears to me that, as I have already pointed out, one 

 of the most important, if not the most important reasons for 

 this inability to advance lies in the fact that China and the 

 Mongolian races have only contributed one redeemer to 

 humanity, so have only a third-rate chance of development, and 

 have not, therefore, become capable of progressing more than 

 a third of the way along the road of civilisation, -nor of receiv- 

 ing more of the qualities or attributes of God the Mother than 

 the one attribute of love. It is a curious fact that the earliest 

 branches of the Aryan race who settled in Greece during the 

 Mycenaean age were long afterwards spoken of by the non- 

 Aryan population of Greece as the children of the Great 

 Mother, and truly they were so, for it was their possession of 

 three qualities of God the Mother that made them superior to 

 their Mongolian or Semitic neighbours. It is a striking 

 instance of the fact that four or five thousand years before 

 Christ the world must have had some idea of the dual gender 

 of the personality of God's Trinity, although we have long 

 since lost its significance. We find that these Mongolians 

 were unable to receive more than the three first qualities of 

 God the Mother, or her attributes of Existence, Love and Life, 

 and it was not till after the coming of Buddha and Christ that 

 those of Comprehension and Invention were granted to man, 

 and his further power of advancement became assured.
