A BEAUTIFUL POEM.
THE ANGEL OF THE COVENANT.
BY MRS. DR. S. HAMILTON.
BOOK II.
THE ARGUMENT.
mil IS is a description of the second Kingdom of Knowledge where
A man by eating of the Forbidden Fruit awake from piritu
death, recalls his knowledge of the past, and is born a living soul.
The seven angels with the seven t rum pots are figures of the curses
under which man fell and bis resurrection.
Here Nature's heel, even the joint appears,
That connects the Maker's footstool with his throne, -
Where a finished work its offspring bears, . ...
Who recalls man s buried light to life ajain. '
But 0! himself the Law provides the lamb, -
And bids the child to stab the parent soul,
There was no victim for the sacrifice but him,
Who would not permit his child to fall.
For it was the same Voice that as the law
Brought the firstborn sons of Nature forth,
That bides a son in the House of Jacob now,
And betrays himself into the hands of Death.
When the spirit of the holy and the pure
Denied himself to the Evil bride, c
He was taken captive in the same snare,
That for his own offspring first was laid.
'Twas thus that Judah the Ruler did not know,
That the father was his cherished son,
And in blindness struck the cruel blow
That he and man's dejpised parent were but one.
Thus the woman also was deceived.
For the Law was subject to her rule,
hen she blmdly cast off ihe God she loved,
Nor knew whose mantle from her shoulders fell.
The law betrayal its parent with a kiss,
1 For the Heaven and the Earth embraced.
When he was rejected who came to bless,
By the hous3 that of himself he reared.
"She is more righteous than I," the Master said, '
As from her arms through death he sprang;
While the man and hU wife uncovered stood,
Unconscious as balies who have committed wrontr.
They nailed him to the discerning Tree,
Who was cast off by Earth and Heaven,
A figure of the Lamb 'of Calvary;
Thus the spirit to the grave was given.
The Helpmeet was to the discerning nature born,
Who was to reign a savior in the grave.
But they knew it not who thrust him down,
That he was only sent before, their souls to save.
' Down to the dark and formless- void .
The cast off parent of the creature fell, '
There to separate the Evil from the Good,
v Whose discerning Eye was the dividing Wall.
Here he found the rivers of Eden dry,
That nourished the garden of the Lord,
Where man had left his cast off form to die,
No longer by the breath of Wisdom fed.
And there he weds the darkness and the light,
Who bring their offspring to his knee;
While their handmaids, the day andnigty,
Yield the fruits of bondage to the Tree.
Thus God's spirit penetrates the night
And through material gloom his wisdom shone;
While the Heavens glow with the discerning light,
Of him who brings his brethren down.
For it was there that the Living Root,
Was planted in man's primeval grave;
Tillklcath quickened the hope that faith had lit
In the Word, the offspring that the Helpmeet gave.
The woman saw her husband's wisdom fade,
- As Adam's glory departed from his brow;
And hungered for the presence of the God
Whose councils gro'w into a promise now.
But the Tree that was for man designed,
That he might escape his nature's wrong and pain
To meet the woman's need was never planned
To whom the wrongs of Evil were unknown.
If man had but partaken of the Tree
Before the light had from his spirit fled,
lie could in his own possession see
That he lacked nothing of Evil or of Good.
Life in Eden was but a peaceful dream
To her who had no knowledge but of good,
And with man no knowledge's! his nature came,
Who should have furnished her with living food.
And the tree that made for man through death,
Means to escape his nature's wrong and ill;
Stood as a snare within the woman's path,
Where she into the miery pit might fall.
Listen to Rebekah urging her child
The blessing of his father to obtain,
As when tke serpent thuVbeguiled,
Woman the wisdom of th gods to gain.
When clad in the garb of unbelief,
The raiment that was by the elder worn;
She took the forbidden morsel off,
And shared it with the supplanted man.
They ate not of the tree, but stripped
The fruit of discerning wisdom from its limbs;
As when Joseph the woman's hand escaped,
And only his garment in her grasp remains.
But neither fear nor hope their fancies met
Both death and life had from their covert fled,
And the woman found no virtue in the the fruit
Save the knowledge that she was deceived.
Man was naked but not ashamed, ;
Who in his blindness had forsaken God,
Till he ate of the forbidden fruit and died,
Not lo the Evil nature but the Good.
A figure of him who to the Savior came,
Robed in white and took hold upon the Tree,
Like his, the robe of innocence now falls from man,
Who turns in his nakedness to flee.
St. Mark, Chap. 14, 51, 52 verses.
Here where the nurse of Rebekah died,
And buried beneath an oak in Bethel lay
The Heavenly Nature left the woman's side,
Whose Light had been the guardian of her way.
And man was born to an Eternal Night,
Now that the dividing wall was broken down,
Destroying his only way to escape from it, was
slain.
Through whose blindness, the Knowledge of the
"And from thy face shall I be hid,"
Listen to the wretched Cain's lament,
So great the loss of his Spiritual Head, .
He ?i ves to the burden of his sorrow vent.
Among the garden trees they seek to hide,
And robe themselves in the forsaken dust,
But a hiding place is to their souls denied,
Now that the garb of innocence is lost.
And like the apron woven of the leaves
In which man hides his nature's nakedness,
Is the robe that his spirit weaves,
From wrong and pain, to repair its loss.
Thus Isaac the promised heir was born,
The son, Discerning Wisdom, bore her Lord,
And thus the mother nourishes her son,
. . Who was an offspring of the cherished word.
With the Knowledge lost that should he born with him,
Who is to sway the sceptre-of the gods,
Man as a bae in wisdom to his throne has come
Ignorant of its nature and its needs.
And dust must furnish the Light again
With which to dye the garments of her Lord, . , J
"That he may be fitted as one to reign
' Before the spirit andi the dust divide.
- But when her appointed work is done, '..
She a deserted tenement is made, -
Another victim by the sword is slain,
Where a snare is by the divider laid.
And woman deceived by the serpent's tale,
Is but listening her nature's doom,
- When she must a Life deserted body fail,
And forever bid farewell to him.
As man was slain behold the woman fall
A martyr to her Knowledge of the Good,
Thus it is that Justice finds them all,
And beneath Adam's alter both are laid.
Here Jacob meets the Heavenly host,
The Tree on which the Light of Knowledge dwell;
Where Death is still standing at hispot,
To preserve Nature's dividing wall,
Mahunicm, two hosts or camps.
Here he gains his victory over Death,
And face to face beholds the features of his God,
And wins a blessing though clad in wrath
To the wretched life that still is spared.
The Tree yields to him its discerning fruit,
And beneath the Angel's touch was shrunk away,
'And the children of Israel do not eat
Of the Tree, the sinew that wa3 shrunken to this day."
Though Jacob was declared a Prince of God,
Oniy the Light was given to his eye,
But when ho sought for his Paternal Head,
The empty robe revealed the Missing Tree.
Because man was unprepared his God to meet,
The Maker's plan was crippled at this point,
The work begun remaining incomplete,
While m figure Jacobs thigh is out of joint.
It was in mercy that the spirit in its nakedness,
Was not exposed to the Master's eye, ;
And Life was spared to repair its dress,
And thus prepare to meet its God on high.
Where Heaven was rebuilt beyond the vail,
And clad in the gladness taken from the dust,
That when man should refill his measure full,
His soul might find a place'prepared Tor rest.'
Thus woman upon Wisdom's pathway waits,
To robe her spotless spirit for the sky,
As when Jacob on his homeward journey halts,
And stands in figure halting on his thigh.
Their quickened spirits may no longer sleep,
But man returns to his infancy again,
And in the garden with its blighted crop,
Repeats his pilgrimage through toil and pain.
Here man weds the Evil bride again,
And his lost knowledge is restored,
While woman, yoked with Evil, and cast down,
Still listens for the voice she loved.
The parent like the aged Jacob mourns
As dead, the Voice who made of Himself a son,
While pregnant with her younger born she groans,
Beneath the burdens, and the wrongs of man.
His children by their acts rehearse their birth,
Recalling to him his forgotten past,
But thc-Records that are thus recalled from death
In figures that are dark their colors cast.
In righteousness like linen clean and white,
The sons of Wisdom are by the Word arrayed,
Their colors quickly fade when in the light
The garments that convey the truth are laid.
It is thus that Sheni and Japheth backward go,
Whose shoulders bear raiment to their fathers form,
The Voice is silent till their souls in Wisdom crow,
And are thus fitted to commune with him.
. .
In a fiery lake by Wisdom hemmed,
The fugitives from death are now confined,
Who cannot go back, neither ascend,
Thus doth Discerning Light her fetters bind.
A murdered parent haunts their dreams.
Whose vengeance fills their waking hours with dread,
Thus conviction to the cieature comes,
Whose spirit is awakened from the dead.
A foul carcass .hat defiles a Heathen Land,
Thus of their father the sons of Jacob make,
When his past hbtory presents to mind.
How blindness of his life has made a wreck.
But through humility the crown is won,
And as a victor, Jacob marches home,
While with awe the nations gaze upon
The heir into his possessions come.
The knowledge of the Good did not in darkness die,
Nor did the gloom of death dissolve its Holy light,
Faith in the Helpmeet's promise lit her cheerless sky,
And his unforgotten love illumed her Night.
She knew that Darkness must have its reign,
But that to learn is nature was not death,
And waited patiently the rising of the sun,
That should drive Death's, shadow from the earth,
At length the appointed honr arrives,
When the heir of promise should be weaned,
And into his hand the Father gives
The treasures for him from Eternity designed.
Thus it was that silence reigned in Heaven . .
Nature tor half an hour remaining still,
After the seventh seal was broken, i '
Ere man was startled by his Maker's calh t
Agiin the Voice of bis Master calls to man, I i
To which he answers now in trembling fear,
When the trial in Heaven's Court began
- Wilh Judgment, and sentence rendered there.
Did the quaking earth and darkened heaven,
Awake in man a consciousness of wrong?
Who remembered him he had forsaken,
And from remorse his terror sprang?
For the silence of the grave was broken.
When the Tree cast its untimely fruit,
. But he who despised when love had spoken,
Now hears a voice to fear and tremble at.
Good I
"Where art thou Adam?" the Master makes demand,
: Who surely knows where all his creatures dwell,
As," Ye are spies come to view the naked land," :
v Came from him who knew his brethren well.
For the Helpmeet freed from his prison sits, -
As Joseph sat on the Egyptian throne,
When with his hungry brethren he meets,
'- To whom he makes himself dreadful and unknown. . !
Although he turns aside as Joseph did
When he saw his suffering brothers woe, i v
To conceal tears, like those that parents shed,
Over the child whose punishment is due.
Harsh to their ears was the upbraiding voice,
Though a father and brother in judgment sat,
But changed to their eyes was the angelic face,
. Who made of himself an help their need to meet.
. ''The serpent beguiled me and I did cat,"
-The deceived woman thos presents her plea, ; .
" To the cruel mask that hides from sight
The face that she had risked her life to, see. - -
A knowledge of the evil he had done,
Was thus presented to the Father's eye,
And also of the love that he had won,
That though deserted still refused to die.
Then the Law that bade man forsake his Head, j
Beheld the faith of her that was forsaken,
That woman was deceived when she obeyed,
And as one betrayed into the snare was taken.
Thus the conscience-stricken Judah saw the truth,
The child of the voice still loved and sought for him;
Faith in his love had lured her soul to death,
And back to her through death the Spirit came; ;
Ac when Canaan sinks beneath his Father's curse,
The convicted Helpmeet stands before the bar,
While he who exposed Nature's nakedness
Makes of himself a prisoner there.
Upon the Word the Ruler lays the cross,
? His form shall fill the grave that wrong has mule,
The crawling worm shall execute the curse,
And knowledge from the dust shall gel its bread.
The Father thus condemned himself,
By his own hand the parent form was fclicd,
A figure of him whose remorse and grief,
Gave its victim to the potter's field.
And the figure of the Christ was completed,
Even to the day when the graves were rent,
And men beheld the risen bodies of their dead, -
Though in their blindness they discerned it not.
, " St. Matthew, Chap. 27, verses 51, 52- ;
For the Lord would breed enmity in them,
Between the woman and her accursed dead,
Her seed henceforth should loathe the worm,
Though on the form of its beloved fed.
And an embodiment of Evil hath,
The deceitful serpent ever been,
Who by this same self-sacrificing death,
Made of himself a cloud whereon the sun might shine.
But man thus brought to God could frame
No reason from his knowledge of the past,
He took the fruit the woman gave to him,
WhoM answer betrays the God-like nature lost.;
Upon Adam's Helpmeet he lays the blame,
Nor claims the bride of Heaven for his own,
But as "the woman" made to be with him,
Behold man's Evil nature clad again. j
As when the angry Esau's cruel hate,
Was kindled against his mother's son
He spared nor shared the woman's fate,
But left her to meet the dreadful doom alone.
But a likeness to Isaac, man reveals, i
Who thus denies Rebekah as his wife;
Thus through fear of death man's honor falls,
Who forsakes woman to preserve his life.
Twice by man the Tree of knowledge is denied,
Who is the figure the faithless Peter fills, !
For the man and his wife were both afraid,
And in the hour of need their courage fails. i
But he who rejected God is rejected now,
And like Simeon who was in Egypt bound,
Man in the grave is pinioned low,
And his dust restored to its native ground.
Here Israel's firstborn sleeps with death,
And the Father deplores with shame and grief
That man defiled the bed that gave him birth,
The careless victim of doubt and unbelief.
"Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return"
The cast-off parent thus discards his child,
But justice is satisfied; its work is'done,
And as the woman's seed, man is recalled,
The discarded bride shall redeem the lost,
And man's fallen nature in her arms receive,
But the word shall rend the parent's grave at last,
And the victory to Death's victims give.
Thus born of the woman man becomes
Also a child of Adam's flesh and bone,
And a brother to the voice, whence comes
The word, that restores his lost birthright to man.
To dust again the Parent Head shall bow,
To be bruised by the woman's seed,
The voice that is "wording" its own sentence now,
Waa the tree of life, and the serpent's head,
Thus with the fruits of Discerning Light,
The younger repairs the elder nature's wrong,
And were like unto the gifts that Jacob sent,
To reconcile his brother, angered long.
To woman is appointed as her Lord,
The-bond that unites the earth and heaven,
Thus power upon man's helpmeet is conferred,
- And rale into his righteous hand is given,
Lost, but redeemed in her seed the women sinks,
Beneath the burdens of her evil load,
And in death's bitterness and sorrow drinks,
The cup that Contains the wisdom of her God.
And she to whom a nature had been given,
Born of paternal care and tenderness,
Becomes as one of God's forsaken,
Through pain and wrong to bear her nature s crews.
"8on of my sorrow," dying woman cries,
When the Evil nature to her arms is borne,
But "son of the Right Hand" the father replies,
Who knew the features of his elder bom,
Benjamin.
As forme the aged patriarch says
"I buried Rachel at Bethlehem."
Adam the angelic keeper of his ways,
And his beloved Rachel were the same.
The house where Adam dwelt was thus dissolved,
And in the darkest cell of the cold ground,
The wretched offspring of the Heaven crawled, ,
Where for its bread only the dust was found,
As an accursed thing the body died,
When Nature's cross was laid upon the Lamb,
Who Himself upon the altar laid,
And waa before his accusers dumb.
Thus Adam, the husband and father fell,
' The redeeming Angel of the man,
And on the right hand next to the parent shall
Sit the son, that woman's faith and love have borne,
And the cross that bred discerning life
Was restored to man by the murderous Cab, .'.
Who by casting the paternal nature off,
Was redeemed by the Lamb that he had slain,
The partakers ol Adam's flesh and bone,
Becoming partakers also of its death,
Thus all who were of Adam's mother born
Into the werid of spirits had their birth,
Thus life remains united to the dust,
While the Angelic mother is set free,
Who on Earth or Heaven alike may rest,
Nourished by the same paternal tree.
Behold the glory of the living soul,
The Heir that was promised long to man;
The Tree of Life Is rooted in Earthly soil,
And of the Heaven and Earth his bride is born.
In homage both the Earth and Heaven,
Thus to the mysterious dreamer bow,
Who of himself a tree hath given,
Upon whose living limbs their light may row.
Thus the Angelic mother meets her God,
And the woman by her long-sought teacher standi;
And the Holy Light of Joseph marks the road,
To where man's pilgrimage through sorrow ends,
The parent voice, Joseph's divining cup
That was hidden in the younger brother's sack,
By the dissolving dust is yielded up,
When the tree recalls its offspring back.
When from the lost behold the Helpmeet rise,
Whose nlory shines anew on Adam's brow.
For he who named the brute, opens their eyes,
By naming the wife of Adam now.
For it was he who drew the curtains of the night,
Upon the day that gave to all the living birth, .
And called her "Eve" who like the fading light.
as mother to all she bore to God by faith,
Even as "Mary" named by the creating God
Bade the woman behold her dead arise
Revealing to her where the Master stood,
Whose form made him a stranger in her eyes.
Thus the ties of birth the Master owns,
And proclaims universal brotherhood;
As by naming his mother the beloved John's
He made man, and his maker kin through blood,
And the Forbidden Tree was no longer God,
But the loving, watchful brother of the dust:
Whose eyes were opened, and blessed the rod,
w nose severest ordeal was the best.
Leaning on his arm the mother stands,
Whose wisdom compels homage from the grave;
To whom all nature in reverence bends,
Who was man's Helpmeet that the Father gave.
"Bury me not in Egypt," Jacob cries,
And in obedience to this last request,
The Recorder in her native skies,
Leaves the martyr mother to her rest.
And the worm that hides its body in the mire,
And feeds its helpless misery on dust,
, Becomes a rootlet to the fairest flower,
That blossoms in the regions of the blest.
Behold the generations of her day,
, As Cain, and Abel are rehearsed,
And in her seed as Adam's family,
The promise is fulfilled in man at last.
And God hath appointed me another seed, .
In Abel's stead who was by his brother slain.
The prophetic voice of the woman said,
And its last words by the Recorder's pen.
Listen to the band of angelic Trumpeters,
! Where curses haunt the Prophet's troubled dream,
And shape themselves into dreadful spectres,
Whence a light to wisdom is reflected to them.
Behold the fated three; and on his third,
First falls the curse pronounced for Adam's sake,
Where the thorn and thistle rear their head,
And of man's garden doth a desert make.
"Cursed be the ground whereon thou treadeth
For thy sake" the maker to Adam calls,
And with it comes the fiery breath that eateth,
The tree and grass from the third on which it falls,
The second trumpet sounds, the serpent's focm
"As it were a mountain burning with fire,"
Is now changed into the crawling worm, -Anddoetb
with his nature's third, his curses share,
The third trumpet sounds and a burning star
"As it were a lamp from Heaven falls"
And bitter even to death became her share,
Of the nature, where the fallen woman dwells.
The fourth trumpet sounds, man's curse is done,
His third of nature sinks into the grave;
"Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return,''
Give back to darkness the creature that it gave.
The fifth trumpet sounds, and the serpent's Head,
Now down to the dust from Heaven falls,
As ai Angel descending to its dead,
To pierce the grave, and rend its walls;
When he who held the keys unlocked the grave, -And
from the ascending smoke there came
Knowledge, its mysterious nature gave
That which was to man a taste of hellish flame.
Well might the pangs of helpless sorrow,
That the dread of an open grave doth bring,
Give to the figures that they borrow,
The venoms of the scorpion's sting.
Then men shall seek for death, but it shall dee,
Before the knowledge of a life beyond;
Where an unending Eternity
.Of wretchedness awaits the damned.
To the creature the destroying Angel came,
Armed with the terrors of a pit
j That has no bottom to its frightful form, .
Nor bound to the horrors that people it.
; And the tales that a parent in his wrath,
Prepared for his child this dreadful doom,
Gives to Wisdom's heir the knowledge of a death,
That is beyond the confines of the tomb.
The sixth trumpet sounds, and at that sound,
Nature's heel; even the grave is bruised, .
When the Angels by the Great Euphrates bound,
Yes, four from beneath its curse is loosed.
From Adam's Altar even Calvary,
Hear, "It is finished," from its Lamb
Chained by his NVord these victims lay,
, Who now through death provides escape for them.
- . ' - f
The serpent, the woman and the man,
Together with their glorious Head;
In a burning, fiery furnace lung have been,
But now come forth as victors from the dead.
Though as his ministers still in the darkness,
Their freed natures for awhile are strayed;
For thus the Master appoints a witness,
Who still on Earth should bear of him record.
Whose power is in their mouths, and in tales,
Founded on ;heir knowledge of their Head,
Which hurts the evil nature till it fails,
; Before the breath, that paints a Hell for them to dread.
But those natures that were not destroyed,
By the love nor wrath, of which God'sservants tell,
Who reject not the bad, nor receive the good,
Preserve a knowledge of the Evil still.
For the seventh trumpet sounds, and the dead,
Who die in the Lord ascend on high;
Back to the tree the pilgrim hath been led,
And as his bride is welcomed to the sky.
It was then the mighty Angel spake,
t Declaring that time should no longer be j ' ,.
And the pilgrimage begun for WlsfcoVs sake, "--
Was safely ended in Eternity. . - ;
Where the steps of the parent end the child's begin,
And from the mother's grave the eye can trace,
Where e'er the footsteps of the son hath been, '
Since the beginning of his mortal raec.
The child must tread the path its father's trod,
And climb the steps graven by wrong and pain;
He too must be divided from hisHead,
And journey through the land of death alone.
As a new king in Egypt rose,
F rora whom the light of Joseph's life was hid ;
Again in darkness the form of Evil grows
And man loses the knowledge of the Good;
But when the light from life begins to fade,
And the drilling winds of night commence to bWw,
In skins the naked forms of man arc clad,
That to the gods discerning wisdom show.
"Behold the man becomes as one of us"
"To know Evil and Good" the gods declare;
Lest by discerning Wisdom led, he too shall cross
The Forbidden wall, and dwell forever there.
Again the fated Hagar and her son,
. Into the wilderness are driven,
Where clad in Adam's glory Ishmael shone, ,.
"In the presence of all his brethren."
Thus from the Heavenly Garden man is cast,
The 4alc of whose pilgrimage lelow,
Is but a rehearsal of the first,
. In form more perfect than the plants that grow.

- Human thought is the same in every age; indi
vidual, and national thoughts and aspirations were
the same in the days of the Ctesars as thev are to
day. Individuals rise to eminence, and fall, ex-''
actly from the same motives, as they did in ancient
times. Some one has said "the history of every na
tion is but a repetition of ne page," and we can
not expect to be exempted. We have risen high

nations. We build it on education. c
Education was,and is, our strongest principle.
It" (as has been so often said) "is our only safe
guard." Blindly, the Knights o Labor are working;
a great many worthy citizens have joined this or
ganization, but they have been deceived. Organ-.
ized with best intentions, instead of bettering the. '
condition of the working men, they arc, slowly,
k-ut surely, making timed harder for them.
This must be stopped; Knights of Labor unions.
of all classes must disorganize. Education is not
advanced by them; Legislation is not influenced in
any manner that would effect them, and there can
be no possible benefit derived from these organiza
tions. The working classes are spending too much
time, too much money, and too many of the best
hours of their lives in this useless attempt to con--
trol elections, legislation, etc 'There is a foolish
false pride among the working classes, which' is the
cause of all this dissatisfaction. Who can be an
admirer of labor and a true laborer himself, and
think it more honorable to carry a musket pikes or
ax, and tor weeks, and even n?onths. mss his

time idly demanding higher prices, shorter hours,
and all the various war-cries of his organization.
A true Knight of Labor will, instead, go earnestly
to work, and when times are hard, work the harder
knowing that honesty and frugality are 1 sure to
meet their reward. Let working men dovote more
time to -their homes, home-life and home-associations,
andthey will be benefitted more than all the -
Knights ol Law tan do for them.

More and more in our day moral issues aie
coming to the front in legislative bodies, and the
moral side of questions involving material interests
is more emphasized than other phases of these sub
jects. For this reason the province of civil and ec
clesiastical bodies will more and more overlap each
other. Under such circumstances it behooves
Christian men to remember that on the tne hand
that Christ's kingdom is not of this world, and on
the other that each of us should do all we can to
hasten the dav when the kingdoms of this world
I shall have become the kingdoms of our Lord ant
of his Christ, "Kender unto Cicsar the thincs
that are Ciesar's and unto God the things that are
