I Tar..i 1. . u . ui Knowieage or which
n Hrr the TUl0M St- Joh. "ltion The
There is one God, the Spirit of whose being knew
Not of the nature that the Image had,
The form of the Universal Self that grew
Aiise blind to its Spiritual Head.
A lone monarch, on a solitary throne,
1 ne apint sal a Supreme Will
To whom birth and death were alike unknown
w nose seat combined a heaven and a hell.
But over all, the Maker sat,
The Parent Intellect that none m hr.r,A
Save the Angel, who of its treasures taught,
en nimseii uorne on the wings of sound.
His Image, the Creating Hand would rear
into a temple htted for the mind.
To which dust and spirit should their offsprinc bear.
" lurnisn a Knowledge of its kind;
And build a stair on which the Angels could descend i
To the depths of wronp and want find nuin
Then to the bights of the Father's love ascend.
fuiu rest in nis protecting arms again.
To the faith that owns but one existing head,
Beside whom there is no Good or F.vll tt,;n,r
Devils cannM be worse than void of good, '
in or Angels purer be than void of wrong.
For the Creating was a dividing Hand,
wno clelt the Eternal mount in ui5n
And in the rent bred the mysterious mind,
worn ot its light and darkness and its joy and pain.
When matter to the spirit yields the crown,
Ana irom the "formless void"
mm oy wnom the Conq'ring Bow is drawn,
That Wisdom may be feasted on its spoil;
'Tis thus four mighty rivers drain the land,
And give its features to the Master's eye,
To be by discerning Wisdom scanned,
And with its spirit's light divided by.
For all created things this mission fills,
To furnish the discerning mind with food,
By which the Parent to his child reveals,
By teaching it of Evil that He is Good.
Where mighty worlds their steady marches keep, 1
Vithin whese crysfal home there is no flaw
To jar and wake from its eternal sleep, ' !
A work that was too porfect for a law. j
Here the house for finite things was built
Where the Immortal j;avc to mortal birth, I
And a knowledge of its nature was wrung from it,
By the divider that was planted in its pathj
Even the voice, the Fountain of the word,
The Tree that brought the Light of knowledge forth;
By whose presence the Creative mind was bred,
Whose absence was its spiritual death.
The staff of Judah and of Israel,
Was that voice, who was the Creating God,
And who Himself, as a dividing wall,
Bred a knowledge of the Evil and the Good.
Thus of Himself, the Maker made the stumbling stone
To light the lampthat made his bosom bare,
And of how the Creating work was done,
The records of the Heavenly Garden are.
These are the generations of the day,
In which the Heaven and the Earth were made;
When the Maker, to his creature, taught the way,
To discern its nature's Evil from its Good.
Of Good alone the Holy Record bears,
Evil is left to the unpublished night,
For darkness is the mask its nature wears,
Whose birth was hidden from the Maker's sight.
The gold of this mysterious land is Good,
Bdellium and the Onyx stone are there,
While "pleasant to the eye," and "good for food,"
Of the tree and herb the records are.
And grateful dews refreshed the soil,
; Where the first germs of life were bred,
Ere man was made the ground to till,
And plant the furrow with the seed.
Here man was created formed of dust,
That breathed the breath, its Maker did,
The voice of Paternal Wisdom that at first
Fed to the infant soul, itsliving food.
By this living well all nature stands,
, Whose thirst for light the Maker' breath supplies,
And of Himself into the land of darkness seadt
To learn of matter that hid in darkness lies. "
'Tis thus life maks a handmaid of the dust,
i Whose hidden light a mine of wealth appears,
Himself he would nourish at her breast,
; And be a parent to the son she bears.
The elements of nature were combined,
: To render perfect the being that was made;
Till the offspring of the infinite mind,
: Was planted in the Image of its God.
"And man became a Living Soul,"
The prophetic voice of the Recorder adds,
Which is the hope that guides his path through all
The dark mysterious way his journey leads.
Thus man was made an Heir of Promise, .
To which Jacob as a figure stands,
While Evil and Good people his House,
; And in bondage 'neath the yoke of Wisdom bends .
Nature's dividing wall in Eden stood,
The Tree of Knowledge fenced with death,
To separate the Evil from the Good,
A sword to pierce the spirit of the Earth.
Knowledge figures the coat that Jacob made
Of many colors for his favored son,
Who figures the Tree, of which Wisdom was the bride
From which the Law now barred the man.
How fair the knowledge of the good appears
To Him who sees her by the Living well,
A robe of Angelic purity she wears,
That drapes a form where all the graces dwell.
It was her that the Heir of Life would gain,
By years of patient toil and weary care,
Ignorant of the work that must obtain
The Living knowledge that he seeks for hire.
For Evil was man's inheritance by birth,
Who came unsought and unbidden to his arms;
Nature's first born who became man's bri-.le by stealth,
As when the hated Leah to Jacob conies.
But man cannot the depth of Evil learn,
While he hulds communion with the Good,
And in this appears the wisdom of a plan,
That was built upon a motive that was hid.
Tolearn of Evil man must die to Good,
To learn of Good he must to Evil die;
But to know ofJjoth is the wisdom of a God,
A living well whose waters never dry.
"The day thou eatest thereof thou shall surely die,"
Was a covenant the Maker made with man.
1
That man, through death might from its sorrow fly
V nen tie should a knowledge of the Evil learn.
To develop faith in the infant soul,
That could pierce the doom of a sunless skv.
And fearlessly scale the forbidden wall,
was to be born a God, and as man to die.
For the dissolving dust could only free
1 he breath of the Maker. Drisonal th
Arrayed in Wisdom's varied hue
The garment the gods of nature wear.
The Maker's presence was the light that shone.
And cave to the bloom of the warden Wrih?
His fading face was Eden's warning sun,
lie disappeared from view; and it was death.
Sadly the parent from his offspring goes,
As the mother leaves her infant's newlv m.rl
When obedient to the law from Earth he rose,
And helpless nature to the Ruler's hand he gave.
Thus life from its parent source was rent,
inat tvil might be bred unrekuked.
When the Creator was from his creature sent,
The light from nature's darkness was removed.
The chill of a starless night began to fall,
As when the sun from a summer skv sinks Awn
Converting Life's Heaven into its hell, i
And the smile on Nature s face into a frown.
Thus with it the dividing nature drew
All that was rood and pleasant from thi W
In the light of his presence Heaven grew,
uut hell was created where it was lost.
As in the debris of the ruined tower,
Abraham discerns his Maker's voice.
And by obedient faith was led to where
He could recall his lost parental source.
A figure of the Tree that in the garden stood,
And clad in discerning wisdom shone:
Of whom "she is my sister" Abraham said,
uut the Tree of Life and Knowledge were but one.
The knowledge of the Evil and the Good.
was as a pair ot balances to men.
To preserve the perfection of the God,
And he that eats of either dies to one.
And of the voice forbidding man to eat,
At the first, from the last
, "See that the oil and wine thou do not hurt,"
1 hough cheap, all other food his bread becomes.
And though primeval nature was V -
As lovely as an infant at the first. t
Man was as helpless as his childhood is,
When the perfection of the God was lost.
"Unstable as water thou shall excel,"
Tacob describes (lie

The Ught of the law was the sun that shone.
And taught to man the nafuro r,r it,-.
To whom the Tree was clad in his Maker's frown

Both Death and the laborer were
Handmaids to Wisdom's bond.-,
For want and hunger begot toil and care,
v nen an that was good Horn dust was taken.
Here the garden with its leafy troop.
Is given into the laborer's hand,
The thorn and thistle choke the goodly crop.
. . idu. nas snorn tne fatness from the land.
And dumb life is found an offering of night,
That lives in sorrow, and in darkness dies;
And gave to him who sought for Wisdom's light,
A Uai.j 1 . .
-uuwicugc ot wnat me in Nature's darkness is.
"There were giants in those days" and monstrous shapes
That were a horrid sicht to th In.iv ....
Who from distorted nature lesson takes,
Ana uuiids its wisdom on reality.
The Lord, for Wisdom's sake created this,
I hough repenting oft that man was made.
For as the pure and good and holy rose,
Hell deepened, and man conceived of bad.
But Heaven grew upon the other side,
v here the Father taught his aneels how to sine.
While joy and peace and love abide
Conhdinglybcneath his sheltering wing.
, A mansion fitted for his child's return,
' The walcliful parent thus prepared, -TLit
when man should the lore of Evil learn,
lie m'ght receive a knowledge of the Good .
EU this was also death, for paternal love
V.'as longing to embrace its absent child,
And all the good that filled the House above,
: ; ' Could not render the parent reconciled.
Thos the dark, cold bosom of the ground
Brought forth the knowledge of Evil and of Good,
And it was here that Jacob's wives were found,
: Who figure the breath of the creating God. ;
Though man was but an armlet of the sea,
As compared with his creating Head,
Who should the parent its nourishment deny,
Was empty as some deserted river's bed.
u Aniit was thu that the parent Earth, ,
Gave the daughters that Tier bosom bore, J -To
he form of dust in which the Maker's breath
Made of himself a slave for Wisdom's hire.
Thus the first Angel, patient and pure,
Bowed beneath the burdens Wisdom laid on him.
But the reproach of Ephesus he bore,
lj that his first love was departed from.
Vainly the parent stood by the Dividing Gate,
For man had lost his knowledge of the Good,
Till the wearied Father could not wait,
And came Himself to seek the man's abode. '
i
And cruel Death was as an "hind let loose," .
When "Godly words," reveal the Master near,
And another son is born to Jacob's House, '
Fraught with Heavenly promise for his ear.
, Here, Abraham gives battle to the Kings,
And rescues his nephew from the lost,
And when back from death his brother brings,
As the Priest of an Eternal hire is blest.
Thus the alter of self -sacrifice is reared,
On which the priest provides of himself a Iamb,
And, in this voice its first victim first appeared,
"Vho is the figure of Him that is to come."
For nian with his evil nature was alone,
When the Maker found his wandering child,
And; made of Himself an Helpmeet for his own,
Bj whose neglect, paternal love was chilled.
For it was Adam named the fowl and brute,
And restored to man the wisdom of his Head,
But (be soul of man refused to mate,
Wjith Him who was the spirit of the Good .
His feet still in the paths of Evil keep,
Nor to the wisdom of the voice gave heed,
Till jiis hardened soul was left to sleep,
As he who grieves the spirit of his God.
Paternal love could not penetrate the night,
Arid give to man a knowledge of the Good,
And sadly the angelic bearer of the Light,
Stood by the wretched body of its dead.
It wis the Lord who caused this sleep to fall
Upon the helpless, flesh-bound soul of man,
""WhetJ from his dark, wronged nature, all
Thkt could love or be loved from life was gone.
And jGod of Smyrna's poverty Is judge,
Who does not condemn the Jew that casts him off,
He knows the heart that to its God is liege,
And condemns carelessness, but pities unbelief;
As when Jacob's helplessness enkindles wrath,
Against the bride that at first he sought,
Whose patient love approaches death,
Because kfe gives no offspring to the light she brought.
But Jacob did not know that Rachel went to God
To obtain the life her soul desired,
That of reproach she look advice instead,
And thus of the Heavenly tree conceived,
I
And of that which was taken from man's side,
The Lord now makes an help for Adam's need;
And the reproach from man's nature was removed
Wen the Helpmeet was born, man's proffered aid.
For of Himself, the Father makes a son,
To the unforgotten nature of the Good;
And now a partner with her in flesh and bone,
The voice itself declares whose offspring is the word.
It is Adam who proclaims the woman's erigin,
And the reasons that gave her nature name,
While the mysterious now that dates their union,
Declares ere this that they were not the same.
But tie Father did not know that woman stole
The light that for man's nature was designed,
And by her Faith received the words that fell,
And thus of the creatingvoice conceived.
For she had but partaken of the Crumbs,
That were scattered from her husband's feast,
Though of that spark, a Living Light becomes,
And a kingdom was built on what was counted lost.
The parent soul, an offspring of the voice,
Was thus created a being of the dust,
By Adam forsaking his forbidden House,
And dwelling where he was taken from at first.
And a root of the offspring of the dust
Was engrafted with the Heavenly vine,
Who came to be an helpmeet for the lost,
And now fills the figures of the woman's son
Thus the voice of the dying Jacob blessed
Him who was divided from his brethren;
"The blessings of thy Father have prevailed,
Above those that my progenitors have given."
"To the utmost bound of the Everlasting Hills,
Their benefits shall rest on Joseph's head;" j
"And on its crown" even the voice that fills
His silver cup with the discerning word.
Woman was herself a child of dust,
While man was born of a spiritual sire, ;
But while he was in the maze of Evil lost,
The Voice, man's own creating head, was born to her.
And the maternal parent of the man
Was the knowledge that the Evil nature bore,
While the" mother who for Adam bears a son,
Was the light of all that was holy, good and pure.
"No beast of the field that God had made"
Was wise as he who made an helpmeet of himself,
And brought io man a knowledge of the Good,
Which was the secret of Eternal Life. '
Meanwhile the Law gives promise of another son,
And k is foretold by the creating voice,
That the man shall yet forsake his own,
And become an offspring of the woman's house. '
Thus earth is wedded to its kindred Heaven; -7'
For in Adam the spirit and the dust unite,
Who for an houseband to Jacob's throne is given,
A glimmering star, in a setting of its night.
But as a sword that hath two edges,
Is the Good and Evil joined in one;
And be who of Pergamos judges,
Finds the voice of Evil warring with his own,
That because Adam left his forbidden House;
" To become a partner with flesh and bone,
Man should also in justice to the voice, ''
Join that of bis wife and forsake his own.
Lo; still with jealous hate the voice of Wisdom,
Denies to man's wronged and wretched life,
The light thit was first of darkness taken from.
Unless he casts his paternal natures off,
It is the revengeful voice of Sarah.
Driving her handmaid from the House of Life,
Because the light was not hoaored by an eye
That was bunded by doubt and unbelief.
The offspring of the voice bid man become as they
Who have themselves their parent tree forsaken,
Angry that the Helpmeet on his bosom lay,
Ere she a bride into his arms was taken.
Who knew not she was a promised wife,
Who was to her husband long denied,.
Till man became a stranger to the life,
That was suited to the nature of his bride. '
Thus the Firstborn of the Maker's breath,
Was made to abdicate his Father's throne,
Who knew not that the beauty of the Woman's house
Was but the departed glory of his own.
Beneath this altar the first victims lie, f
Who were slain by the Divider's sword,
And to Heaven justly for vengeance cry,
On him by whom the subtile snare was laid.
But he who takes the sword by it shall fall:
As these were slain, so shall their slayer be,
But these shall wait till Justice gathers all, -Who
shall fall victims of the Forbidden tree.
Discerning wisdom was the priceless gift,
That the prophetic voice had promised man,
Who through unbelief rejected it, '
And left his birthright to the younger son.
Man was the offspring of his Maker's breath;
But this the noblest of his Father's house,
Had lost the knowledge of his birth,
And that he was an offspring of the voice.
And when he cast his parent nature off,
He sold it for the knowledge of the Good.
That he had lost through delay and unbelief,
And could not have again restored,
The Law was also taken in this snare,
For Judah had compromised with Death,
And the children that the rod would spare,
Were those he found her pregnant with.
All praise is due the Angel of Judah's line,
"Whose works at last are more than at the first,"
But he who writes to Thyatira points his pen,
At her whose shade on Judah's house is cast,
For to obtain the light, man sleeps with Death,
- In obedience to his knowledge of the Good,
And died as an offspring of the Maker's breath,
By thus forsaking this paternal Head. x
And the arm of life was swallowed in the sea, "
While discerning Light discards her maid, '
And leaves their wronged deserted dust to die,
The form that for which the Maker's breath was made.
The spirit of him who rejects the Good '
And of him who rejects the bad are brethren;
Both natures sprang from the same God,
And Evil is but Wisdom's elder son;
And the Father loved the elder best,
The one the staff discerning Light "was built upon;
Even as Isaac loved Esau the most, "
"Because he did eat of his son's venison."
The breach in nature thus was closed,
The Evil and the Good were joined as one,
And man as hire for him he sold received
The wealth of dast and spirit for his own.
It was the Law who bade man cast his Head away,
Who now as the woman wields the sword,
And would thus a knowledge of the Evil buy,
A Rachel for Reuben's mandrakes sells her Lord.
To gain the light of life man sold his God,
And gave his house into the woman's hand,
Who to gain the light of Evil sold the Good,
And Death became sole monarch of the land.
But a few names in Sardis yet remain,
Whose garments are undefiled by hire,
And their robes are yet without a stain
Saith He who knows the heart and what its motives are;
The hand of Evil loosened on the Earth,
Chilling winds and biting frosts are stayed, -The
laborer no longer fought with Death,
Though the fat of the land became his bread.
Still a little strength and Heavenly faith,
Is in the church of Philadelphia found,
Though fast falling into the hands of death,
Whose arms are now around her victim wound.
Thus woman was enthroned in nature,
And as a wife conceals her light from view,
From present death her innocence protects her
Who is the bride of Good and Evil too.
And of the Tree that was for man designed,
The woman thus obtained the fruit;
Thus the Good was to the Evil joined,
Or added to man his nature's need to meet.
But as Evil andGood, "as cold and hot," "
The light of the Laodiceans cannot stand,
"Their souls are full, they hunger not,"
And the Tree is neglected in the land.
This was Eden the home of innocence,
Where care not want nor pain were known,
But the price man paid was an offense,
And for the broken Covenant he must atone.
Lo; Jacob for the Lambs of Laban's flock,
Now disregards the call of his Father's God,
Till the day is done, and the night grows dark,
Before he starts upon his homeward road.
Thus he who should sarely come while it Has day,
Waited 'till the brightness of its light was gone, ,
And the knowledge lost by this delay, :
Was the only robe that man could call his own.
For man's knowledge on its parent nature leant,
He could forget the Evil, who forgot the Good,
Except he died to him who could forget, "
Ere his nature's light had from his spirit fled.
Here the forsaken Dust is seen to meet,
And with his fleeing children holds commune, '
While as Evil nor Good, in' love nr hate,
Each relates the wrong the other bad done.
Thus irom nature the light of Good and Evil fades,
And each heaps up a witness to its death,
And save for the images that Rachel hides,
A starless night obscures the glory of the Earth.
Wert they furores of the Holy Book,
That now bears the impress of the Wordt
That from the House of Laban Rachel took,
To supply her soul with Living Food? .
aas
Tne spoken word materialized,
Is an image on which man's hope must rest '
By his memory alone preserved,
In forgetfulness its light would soon be lost. '
And they were figures of the spoken Word,
the wo:nan in h least concealed.
Till she stood before an avenging God,
. And her hidden treasure was revealed.
"Let him die, with whom thy Gods are found,"
The angry voice ot Tacob Wind! rr?.
But of her treasure the woman's heart is fond,
And on the God of Jacob's mother she relies;
. The God of Abraham was Jacob's shield, v
... And he bears record of that oath,
Unconscious that he thus condemns a child
Who trusts in him to save her soul from death.
, But the discarded bondmaid now turns back;
.The form of dust falls from the Spirit's side,
On Earth a life-preserving salt to make
To a nature both childless and widowed,
And when an outcast in the wilderness,
Hagar found "the well of Him that sceth me,'
Where pity answered to her distress
Whose wrong was the burden of her cry,
A child of bondage born of wrong,
That oppressed the mother's spirit sore,
Thus was light to Wisdom from the Image wrung,
1 uc son mat oust unto the spirit bore.
As an handmaid to the House of Life,
The dust is still pregnant to the Tree,
And though a fallen and discarded wife,
Her son shall an heir of her Master be.
"In the presence of all his brethren," '
As the first Adam, Ishmael shall stand,
By wrong the light of Life from him was taken,
Who in token wears the vengeful brand. '
His was the likeness that the tablets bore,
Which were engraved on Sinai,
Who fought their enemies with Heavenly Fire,
And by reflected light bred the discerning eye.
As when Sodom and Gommorrah fell,
Thus were the Heaven and the Earth destroyed;
But the fugitives avoid the mountain still,
And are into the fowler's net decoyed.
Where the daughters of the dust bring forth,
Of their nature's blindness to the Parent Tree,
Evidence that he that said, had spoken truth,
' "The day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
Though to discerning Light, Adam was born,
Who of himself for man an offering made,
But Judah would not submit his younger son,
To the embrace of the Evil Bride.
Thus the woman's House was built upon the sand,
Whose parent natures by compromise were lost,
As Evil nor Good Wisdom could stand,
And nature was even as it was at first
That which was Evil neutralized the Good,
And nakedness devoured them both;
The foundations of knowledge were destroyed,
Whose shifting sands reveal Hell's open mouth.
Well might the molker of the Promise laugh,
The elements of Lite's Temple were dissolved,
And Death had captured Judah's staff,
When the parent natures were betrayed.
Like Rachel weeping for her children,
"Nor would be comforted because they were not,'
Thus doth the Angel of the woman mourn,
Over the desolation Death has wrought.
