Mr. Krehs's Disclosure of Paladino's Tricks
MISCELLANEOUS. THE OLD STATESMAN'S THOUGHTS\ BY WEI CHENG (a. D. 581-643). [Wei Cheng was scarcely less eminent as a scholar than a soldier. After passing through the troublous times previous to and at the commencement of the T'ang Dynasty, he obtained high office as preceptor of the heir apparent and censor, and on his death received an honorary title. He is known as one of the Emperor T'ai Tsung's three mirrors, which were: copper as a mirror for the person, the past as a mirror for politics, and man as a mirror to guide the judgment in ordinary affairs. He was also. the author of a much admired memorial to the Emperor setting forth "Ten Thoughts" for the correction of the disorders which had spread over the country at the time of the change of dynasty. The following lines are probably reminiscent of that period. Wei is not represented in either of the two favorite Chinese poetical compilations.] What time the land was busy with the chase 'T was I alone foresaw the conflict near. Though fallen our arguments on evil case. The country's good remained my purpose clear. One hope I saw : —to seek our Emperor Lord, Urging my horse beyond the frontier pass. Who else could bind the south as with a cord. Or quell our eastern enemies in a mass? And so, by crooked paths, I took the ascent. Now rose, now sank the fertile plains below. On withered trees I saw the birds lament, And nightly heard the gibbons tell their woe. -
Be Ye Perfect
BE YE PERFECT by Geoffrey Hodson CONTENTS Preface Part I FROM THE UNREAL TO THE REAL Chapter 1- The Babe Chapter 2- From Birth to Ten Years Old Chapter 3- The Principles of Education Chapter 4- From Ten to Twenty Years Chapter 5- From Twenty to Forty Years Chapter 6- From Forty to Eighty Years Part II THE THREE PATHS Chapter 7- The Way of Will Chapter 8- The Way of Knowledge Chapter 9- The Way of Love PREFACE THIS book is the second of the series containing the teachings received from the angel who inspired the volume entitled The Brotherhood of Angels and of Men. Though some may dismiss these present teachings as being entirely impracticable, I nevertheless offer them for consideration because I believe that they contain much that is of value and significance at the present time, when the changing race-consciousness is finding old methods of education inadequate, and new ones are everywhere sought. The errors and deficiencies of the book are due to my lack of competence to receive the angel's teaching in all its clarity and beauty; my hope is that gleams of the light of his wisdom may find their way through the darkness of my limitations and may serve to illumine the minds that are open to receive them; and particularly those responsible for the upbringing of the children of the new age. Only broad outlines are sketched in this volume, offered now at the dawn of a new day in the evolution of race-consciousness; more detailed teaching may be expected as the sun climbs towards his zenith, for then human and angel consciousness will be united to form one splendid channel for the power, the wisdom, and the knowledge of That which is their common source. -
The Inner Side of Church Worship by Father Geoffrey Hodson
The Inner Side Of Church Worship by Father Geoffrey Hodson FOREWORD by Archbishop Frank W. Pigott CATHOLIC Christians claim that the Church, with its threefold ministry tracing spiritual descent by the laying on of hands from the earliest Apostles of Our Lord, its seven sacraments or means of grace and its elaborate ceremonial, is a Divine Society; that is to say, it is a body corporate which is ensouled by the life of the Lord Himself; or, changing the metaphor without in any way changing the sense, it is an apparatus, a piece of intricate mechanism, by means of which grace or spiritual benediction is brought from on high and distributed far and wide on the Lord's people here in this world 'in the body pent '. It is a high claim to make and, indeed, an unique claim; there does not seem to be any other society or organization in the world which makes quite such a claim as that. Yet the Catholic Church makes that claim unflinchingly and has been making it for something like two thousand years. It is worth while examining the basis of such a claim. What are the grounds on which Catholic Christians for so long a time have dared to claim that their Church is a Divine Society, and still make the claim? Briefly they are three. First, there is tradition. Since the very beginning the belief that the Lord gives Himself to His people in His church by the operation of the Holy Spirit has been held by Catholic Christians and handed on from generation to generation. -
