FINAL CHAPTER 229 



evolution of the past, that the future evolutions will follow 

 in the same order and sequence as those of the past, now that 

 the time is drawing near on the clock of evolution for the 

 completion of these three mighty 'contracts on the part ot 

 evolution. It will, therefore, be the duty of all those inter- 

 ested in the making of peace at the end of this war to leave 

 no stones unturned to sow the seeds of national federation, 

 whose duty it will be to protect the rights of all signatory 

 nations and to police the world's commerce by means of a 

 cosmopolitan army and navy and to abolish once and for all 

 the right of any nation to have the single right to hold or 

 control any national army or navy. In future there 

 must be only one army and one navy subject to an inter- 

 national supreme court of arbitration, whose duty it will be 

 to settle the boundaries of nations by purchase and sale, not 

 by war, and disputes by fines and arbitration, keeping armies 

 and navies to enforce such decisions only.

 tion of Creation. 



4th. The Struggle for Wisdom. Unselfish Use. ' Universal 

 Charity, and Perfect Control, and Co-operation." 



Comparing this with our mathematical Table IV., we find that 

 the Trinities Nos. i and 2 are either not destined to last, or are 

 to remain throughout all time, capable of further alteration 

 or improvement. These are : Existence, Matter, Wealth, 

 Life, Mind and Civilisation. Those that are to become perfect 

 before we gain Immortality are Use, and Charity and Govern- 

 ment. Those that are to last for all eternity are Wisdom, Com- 

 merce and Soul. The trinity of Existence, Creation and Wealth 

 (it is well to here point out as an explanation that wealth must 

 always mean the results, product and possession of the quali-
