224 THE THRESHOLD OF EVOLUTION 



abide with you (I take this to mean by the divine inspirations 

 that Science will give birth to in the minds of mankind as God 

 the Holy Ghost returns to the Creation, from which his attri- 

 butes have been, and the majority of which are still withdrawn) 

 and then He will teach you what I (Christ) would have taught 

 you had your minds been sufficiently evolved to receive the know- 

 ledge of " all things even to the consummation of the world," 

 that you may not only, as at present (in the time of Christ) see 

 and believe in the God you would have forgotten and lost for 

 ever, had I not died on the cross to redeem you and by so doing 

 granted you the attributes of God the Mother of Creation, In- 

 vention, Justice, Mercy and Charity, that but for my lif i and 

 death upon the cross you could never have received. And He, 

 the Paraclete, will through the instrumentality of the Soul of 

 Wisdom (as in the onward course of Evolution of Science He 

 grants it to you), enable you not only to see and believe 

 in the God who made you, but also to know and under- 

 stand Him and His Trinity, and the Trinity of His Infinite 

 Power, Infinite Love and Infinite Wisdom. As also the Trinity 

 of your Infinite Insignificance and your dependence on Him 

 and infinite obligation to obey His laws, the laws of nature. 



Your sole chance of regaining the eternal immortality of 

 Life lies in your eternal struggle for the final aim and object 

 of your existence by the performance of works of Mercy, Jus- 

 tice and Charity, which is the final trinity of your Evolution 

 and Redemption. 



Such are the words I assume Christ would have used had the 

 human mind at the time of His life on earth been sufficiently 

 advanced in scientific knowledge to have comprehended such 

 a lesson. These are the lessons Evolution teaches me. These 

 are the lessons I wish to pass on to you if you think them 

 worth learning. It is not enough to go " Back to Christ " ; it 

 is not enough to stop where Christ stopped. You must go back 

 beyond Christ. You must go back to the Infinite Being from 

 whom you are created, and of whom you are a finite Insignifi- 

 cant atom, infinitely smaller than the smallest grain of sand is, 

 as compared with all the sand in the world. You must also 

 realise that you have only one duty to perform, if you wish to 

 remain a living particle of the Infinity that created you. You 

 must devote the whole of the infinitely short period of your 

 infinitely short life, to the practice of continuous energy
