A PAEAU.Br/ BETWEEN MOSES AND JESUS.
I
CONTINUED.
F we can in some measure m ate good th at wherein we have obstructed, then are
we manifesting Jo r 'others and for ourselves the powers and properties of
something not physical, but solely, and entirely spiritual. So 'our Ancient
KUler Brother of Galilee in Ills sermon enunciated the principles underlying
th a t which he had come to bring to the hearts of men. He put forth doctrines
entirely different i a the. Law of the Ten. The key-note of the sermon; of the
enunciation of iris doctrine was the love of man for each other, the love of God for all.
These words were put forth and taught to his disciples. And when he came
down from the mountain, the multitude gathered about him. But there were no
m ultitudes gathered about Moses. Solitary as when he stood amidst the turmoil
and the tempest of- the mountain, so came he down to the foot of the mountain.
B u t as the multitudes gathered about Him whom we honor as our Kxemplar and
w ho constantly points the way by which we reach the highest spiritual-exal
tatio n and unfolding; so they who gathered about Him testified it was not what
■men feared, but something courted and desired. The multitudes gathered about
Jesu s because they loved to be near him; because they sought from him the power
and strength that;was his. The description says a leper came to him in the midst
o f th e crowd asking to be healed, and he was there healed. Mark the'difference
between the two conditions. In one case it was destruction. In the case of Jesus
i t was love, mercy and tenderness. The completion of the contrast is most com
plete and full. In one case wo have justice; in .the other we have mercy. One is
i is th e result of the physical and the, other of the spiritual.
There is something else in the teaching of this chapter, au d it is this: We find
: o ften times in the history of the life of our brother, lie went up into the mountain
alone. In thought alone face to face with the Higher Self, he grew strong. Out
: o f all the fullness of the centuries of the past; on t of all the ages of the present and
. of the expectation of the future, he drew to himself power enough to carry on the
life th a t was already marked out and which lie knew from the first to the last
before he had come into the life. Let us look a t it ns a symbol and emblem of
■wbnt we are required'to do. They who travel along the planes of life, seeking
n o th in g above; never going down into the valley of the shadows of death; some
= tim e may be so in equilibrinnvthat for years we move on feeling then* has been no
V particular attainm ent, omnoviug or uplifting. Then suddenly we find a mountain
r before us. When we come to this mountain we do not climb it in crowds. 35very
| m ountain is something belonging to the soul individually. I t is a part of the
[ way over which we are passing. W hile we may have the thought, love and good
■-will of our friends and comrades the climbing must be done alone. So we essay to
j clim b inch by inch, some tithes slipping buck, some times falling; some times
I m aking a few steps ii| headway. Wo can feel as we take breath, the sense of
\accom plishm ent only. W e have no knowledge how far we have gone, nor what
:will be the outcome. W hen there comes u sense of obstruction and of holding,
-----
.......v »y
IkUUWiMg&S
there has come expansion of view, unfolding of thought under tribulation, and I
physical distress, and places whore we moot face to face, in a single day, tn u t !
' never to pass out of our lives during this incarnation, we take upon ourselves;
loads, which in the carrying, strengthens ua. We receive thoughts which bear ual
lip into the higher ethers; there in ' tlie yellow, light; in the presence of truth, in
tM'clearness of everlasting perception, >ve gain'Something impossible* unless there,;
lad been this uplifting arfd unfolding. At last we come to the'top of the m&uonJj
|ain,(wearied, out of breath, we gather ourselves together, or in other words, we|
'concentrate. This going up the mountain may come to us daily, weekly, or iiij
months or years. The fact is tlie same,*at the very last we find ourselves in th e |
plence facing our own souls. In this condition, those who know us best, whom we|
trust and who trust us, come to us. I t is not necessary, they shall be disciples in i
the sense we generally regard disciples. Those who are listening to us for instruc^ ^ lip n , are those who love us, those who aceept from our lips instruction without
question. These constitute the disciples,
■>Notc that our disciples, those interested in us, rarely come to ns until we have'
ipade attainment. We travel along alone, and weary is the road. There is no oner
to say to us: “God speed.” There is no one can come, into the chamber of our inner?
heart and seeing the true us, bids us go on, telling the cud of accomplishment is
sure to come.
But when we have reached the top; when we have made the attainmentrwhen
tjshe light that is not on land nor sea shines on'our faces and those who know,
^recognize a message from the Eternal is on our lips, then come those desiring to
jhear and know. When those who stand nearest to ns, who love us and whom we
yiove are satisfied, we begin to pass down the mountain, that is, to come into a state
|p f equilibrium. Sometimes it seems as if it would‘be well to live always on the
Ipaountam top, but it is not so intended. Nor was it intended we should live
Ifalways in the valleys. Neither was it intended we should move always on the
&• planes, for it is of all experience we'should know. It is every experience
Should enter into our lives. Out of these we should build the structure which
J makes the permanent groat city, we us builders have undertaken to build as the
I office of life. Having obtained and come down front the mountain, then the
- multitudes come to us. They seek to wrest from us that which hitherto we have
pyconceived to be our own. But wo know very well, whatever is of interest to manIpkind, knowledge of all sorts, and power in all its fullness, belongs to no one
|||te a n . Whatsoever we have of it must be given out. When the multitudes come,
!f?we may know they are interested in the tilings belonging to the spiritual $nd not
Jf|to the physical. This we see in the whole story, in the one case is destruction; in
j| the other, is saving and salvation. Not salvation as is generally used or understood,
gbut rather the preservation of that which already is and can be used for purpose.
gWc are to seek always to go up the mountain. . As you pass on in life, and conic to
a mountain whpse top is beyond the clouds and which appears unscalable, remember,
^be highest glory, the greatest strength and the broadest unfoldmenfc rests at the
top of the mountain. They must be bi
brought down, to the multitude who wait.

HERMETIC HINTS.
r j l O grant forgiveness to others, one must.
I
first be able to forgive one's self. Many
X
go through life with the burden of un
forgiveness wr.itten plainly upon the wrinkled
face; upon the bent body and inharmonious
environment. We have not looked at it face
to face; tior thought of it in our heart to
heart talks, with either ourselves ov our friends.
It has become an old time habit, to drop into
the negative state of wonderment, whether we
shall be forgiven something done, and already
hidden in the the shadows of the past. It is
hard to let go that which we have Hugged to
our bosoms so long. We arc constantly
uncovering the livid falsity of a past deed.
As wc gaze upon its ghastly countenance, \u>
begin over lignin the condemning of n deed
which was committed as naturally, perhaps, as
we would cast away a bunch of faded flowers.
It is a difficult law wc ouisoives have set for
the soul. This elimination of self-condem
nation, must be done before one can cense
condemiug the world. The lessons written for
ourselves, for our own hearts to learn, must be
mastered, before we are allowed to seek to
illuminate life, and make the way clear for
others, The tears must cease to flow for our
own so-called wrong-doing, before this can be
done. In other words, forgive thyself and all
others will be forgiven. Pluck the beam from
thine own eye, and the mote in thy brother’s
eye will dissolve into nothingness.
Let us remember it is the inner Light of our
own soul, which forgives. It is this Light
alone, which-can purify, and casting its vivi
fying rays outward absorb within itself the
cloudy experiences of the soul, leaving it
transparent, as the image of God has a right to
be. If wc find ourselves looking away from
this inner light, separation follows. After that,-
is a great thought to’ carry through the
iionth, that ‘‘God cannot behold iniquity!”
liferefore will not accuse oije of Ids children,
sd is lvove, and Love does, not accuse. AccuIsation is man-created.
(>r Self-condemnation is self-death. As long as
w e live in this state of monied unbalancing,
•'.there will constantly arise to our lips, condetnpiifttion for someone else, and unless the effort
Ipje^made to overcome the tendency, suicidal
Blbtlsequences will follow.
||||E tot the spirit, which impregnates every atom
g^f;the body,, domhiate the natural desire to
w<$lldemn. Every atom is building upon the
Pth'e* foundation of spirit willingness—that is,
God-likeness,
Lei us then, put our finger upon our lips and
refuse to voice so injurious a vibration, as soon •
’ ; as the disposition to criticise or condemn
rises ready to bubble forth its inharmonious
V/twoddle. Instead, we can with profit put the
, question to ourselves: “Wherein lies this fault
. In myself ? If I see it in my brother man, then
v it must be a reflection of something within
myself, either latent or manifested.*'

THEMONON,
The MONOX is one of the distinctively
N o rth and South routes which is not over
whelmed by the interests of an East and West
system . I t is fts own feeder. I t minds its
ow n business, and as a consequence it has a
c o n sta n tly , increasing business to mind.
While the country through which it passes,
fro m Chicago' to Louisville, does not abound
in rocks and mountains, or romantic scenery,
i t does abound in rich, fa t prairies and bottom
lands, where crops never fail through drought.
T h e MOXOX*^ freight trains never run
em p ty cars, and spend little time on rocks
o r sand. T heir cars arc loaded to the lim it
w ith grain, cattle, hogs, and coal; and
supplies for the people’s wants out of the
g re a t distributing centers.
W hile the busiuess management of the
M ONOX is based upon equity arid practical
ity , its passenger departm ent is governed by
courtesy and kindness in every detail. The
tra in s on no road are more thoroughly equip
p ed or manned with any more attentive ser
vice th an are theirs. The cuisine of the Buf
fe t cars leave absolutely nothing to he de
sired in the way of delicacy or refreshment.
T he beat advice we can give our readers is,
When you go South take the MOXOX route*

i u v n e wonaernu simplicity of Vibration lie
all complexities of change in form and color,
making our earth such a beautiful and
glorious home. Visible Vibration proves the
existence of an Esoteric Vibration, as a cause
and manifestor of the visible.
Have you ever attempted to define a vibra-v,
tion V. Did you ever formulate mi explanation*
of where the effect begins, and in what it
ends ? Did it ever seem plausible to you there
is but one law of nature, and th a t the law of
Pohiriaation ? Would you believe the assertion
as a corollary to this proposition th at then?
exists but one motion,and that is Vibration?
Life is a Vibration, and death the cessation
thereof.
These and other similar questions, Dr. W.
P. P i i k l o n , who lias a reputation as a teacher,
lecturer and writer on mystic subjects, lucidly
discusses in ‘‘ Esoteric Vibration,” on the
lines of the Hermetic Brotherhood.

SUN SEALED.
Is a volume of over ioo poems, sealed by the
Sun and planets, after the fashion of the Ancient
Magi. Its author, Geo. P. McIntyre, is a well
known writer on various subjects, but has done
his best work on the line of these poems. The
book is bound in cloth, with beveled edges. It
is old gold in color. Gold back-title, and astro
logical side stamp. It is elegantly printed, on
heavy paper, with red edges, and ring in the
back to hold book marker. It is well worth the
Jf.oo that it sold for, when first put on the
market. We have all that are left of the edition.
We will sell them for 3 5 cents. Do you want
; one? Send at once. Hermetic Pub. Co., 4 0 0 6
