Something “that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor hath it yet entered into the heart of man to conceive the glory that shall be revealed.”
The beginning is here and now, when man shall achieve the Mastery of Self and really possess his own soul, and not hold it tremblingly as a pawn of some pretentious potentate of the soul.
The right of Light, Knowledge, and further progress by “Being a Man,” and not a chattel, an asset, a pawn, or a slave.
This is the coming Avatar, and the dawn is already here.
Will the day darken, the Light be quenched? Who can tell?

No lesson in history is plainer nor more readily demonstrated than the fact that the degeneracy of a religion and the degradation of woman go hand in hand.

Take woman from the churches, Protestant or Romish, to-day, and no church could do business for a twelvemonth.
