old things are shaking, as this is the ending of the old condition of things.

Civilization, which has reached its zenith, would go down to rise no more until it has evolved again in other peoples if it were not that this is the harvest time, and Jehovah, Jesus Christ and their ministering angels are keeping watch over His flock. The spiritually awakened ones will, by and through the assistance of Jesus Christ and His angels, hold the balance of power and spirituality will deface the force of evil that the harvest may be gathered and garnered. When the farmer gathers the grain he gathers it grain and grain; so, individually, one by one, the men of earth become harvested, and Jesus Christ and His ministering angels take care of man. As when the ripe grains of wheat which rest easily and patiently in the individual compartments of the head of wheat, when the thresher comes, are removed and carried to the granary, so man who is ripe in spirituality and scientific knowledge will be cared for by the caretaker. Man here has reached a place where he must consciously abide in the Omnipresent God.

When man has cleansed his mind until his mentality is empty, swept and garnished of the illusions which compose the carnal mind, and understandingly places his mentality, clean and clear, in accord with the mind of God, his clean mentality is a perfect instrument to reflect the fullness of God's mind as the Father desires it to be revealed. Man here has no self-will; it has been swept out from his mind, therefore he has no desire but only to do the will of the Infinite, our Mather-Mother-God.

It would be impossible for care or anxiety to come into the mentality thus cleansed and understandingly placed en rapport with the Father's Will. Easy indeed is the abiding when man is thus scientifically attuned.

Another note must necessarily be sounded here; it is the Spiritual quickening. Jesus Christ said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again; yea, ye must be born from above." This is the New Birth; it takes place when man

has strong desire for it and comes into accord with God's Eternal Law and God touches man into Spiritual Consciousness and the conscious Christ is born in him. When the two-fold nature of man is quickened, mind and Spirit, the Soul (conscious life) will throw off the encasement which has held it from full expression and respond with Conscious Life. Then the body, "the outer sheath" or fourth fold of man, will become quickened by this internal action which is taking place, and it, too, will become conscious life. Then Regeneration takes place and man becomes freed from the thraldom of the illusive desires and dreams of the carnal man. Then man is redeemed indeed, his four-fold nature having been brought out from the carnal dream and he stands a being perfect, pure, holy, peaceful and harmonious, "hid with Christ in God."

God is the Infinite, the Universal Father-Mother, and Christ the Universal Son. When man has attained the Redeemed state of Being, he becomes a conscious individualized Christ, the Son of the Living God.

Jesus came to earth, sent by the Father, and took birth in the human family to assist men that they might learn of their heirship. Jesus was conscious of His heirship from the first, but step by step He moved over the path which humanity travels and met and mastered every law which binds as with chains the children of earth. He left His rules that each man when he comes to that place upon the Path may, if he so desires, learn and, applying them, arise a master over every carnal condition, be it disease, sorrow, pain, anxiety, fear, doubt, old age or poverty. At the end of His ministry Jesus proved His dominion over death. He left the rules clear, that when man reaches that place upon the Path, in the harvesting time for his Soul-quickening, he can, with the help of God and Jesus Christ and the ministering angels, step aside from death a victor.

This is the completeness, the fullness of the message which was given to humanity through the lips of Jesus

nearly two thousand years ago, and this is the cycle when man (those who are in tune with the music of the spheres, they who are in rhythm with the Infinite Law of Action, which is God) will be quickened as in the twinkling of an eye. It is God who ever giveth the increase, and it is God who bringeth about this final act; but it will be only those who are attuned to the rhythm of the Love and Harmony of God who are of the Redeemed. These are the one hundred and forty-four thousand figuratively spoken of in the Bible.

These will come from all nations, colors, races, creeds and cults. Yea, from the East and West, from the South and the North, Infinite Love will gather them and endue them with Wisdom, Love and Power, that they become perfect instruments in the Father's hands in helping to establish the Spiritual Age upon the Earth.

In the midst of the tribulations,-yea, "the distress of nations," God will call the spiritually prepared army into action. They will, in the midst of the conflicting times of the battle of Armageddon, hold up the banner of the Christ and proclaim that it is the finishing time of the old dispensation and that the dawn of the Spirit day is at hand. The name of Jesus Christ shall be proclaimed. He is a constant reality, although invisible to the world.

The Spiritually awakened and quickened will be guided, guarded, sustained and protected continually during these trying times; but they necessarily must remain in accord with the mind of God and Spiritually in rhythm with the music of the spheres, consciously abiding in the shadow of the Almighty and securely anchored to the Eternal Rock,-the Rock of Ages, the Rock of Truth. Although Jehovah is doing His part, and Jesus Christ and His ministering angels are about their Father's business, man must do his part and continue to do it. Man's part is to knowingly and understandingly abide in the Father's Will and keep his heart filled with love for God and love for his fellow-man.

Universal Brotherhood will be established by and through the Christ ruling in and through the Christ, which is born in each individual concept. Those of the Christ-born are the ones who will know Him when He comes and welcome His call. In and through these He will find Faith upon the earth. So Be It!

CHAPTER XXII

UNDERSTANDINGLY ABIDING.

OD, the Infinite Intelligence, which holds the world in His hand and it tests not His strength, is guiding the ship in which humanity is embarked.

This Intelligence is so alert and everywhere present that it notices the sparrow's fall and knows the thoughts of man's mind and the desires of the human heart. Intelligence is Infinite and everywhere present. In this Infinite Intelligence, this loving God and Father, there is a safe abiding place. As this Infinite is everywhere present, its abiding place is everywhere present. Then the man who has understanding can abide in serene confidence and trusting faith in the presence of this Presence which enfolds all in its loving care. To understandingly abide in the Father's House and stand ready to become of service in the Infinite Intelligence when He desires, requires knowledge, insight, perception,-yea, vision. What is meant by vision? It is where man stands clothed in the Christ-Consciousness, having the seership of the Christ, which visions the Absolute as it is.

When man visions the Allness, the Wholeness and the Absoluteness of the Infinite, he gladly abides in this great Presence and understandingly knows that there is naught beside it. With this vision man stands still in action in the Eternality of the Allness of that which IS; and this is God unmanifest and manifest.

From the vantage ground of vision man looks out over and through the human family which dwells upon the earth, seeing them weaving their web of carnality in
