again, and takes its place anions; the countless armies of the departed, hut neither lost or dead; and this internal, ethereal man, woman or child, can he contacted by us in the flesh, by conforming to the laws governing such contact, and the observance of a few simple rules.
XCIII. A passionless man or woman is a human nonentity. It is only when we are wholly man or woman in the higher, holier, and also physical sense, that we can reach the loftier and more significant heights of any sort of power whatever; therefore, those who would cultivate those loftier instincts, and gain mental wings wherewith to scale the heavens, should at once attend to the business of regaining perfect health, mental, physical, emotional and passional. Presently great-hearted love and blessed compassion will nestle in all our hearts, and in this glad, prophetic hope we may all be happy yet. We are none of us ever wise except when merciful. Let us all be so, for only then can we be perfectly human—only then become vessels for the influence and effect of God-ness. Never yet did man come to the absolute conviction of Soul and Immortality, but he also came to that of God and Prayer; for, say what you will, both are and ever will be positive realities in the universe.
In Love alone lies the boon of IMMORTALITY! INJUSTICE reigns to-day.
Sad are the times when wedded wives decay,
And brothels flourish, and Cyprians bear the sway;
These are the times! their scarlet banner waves,
And honest wives, neglected, fill up a million graves!
"When woman's eye grows dull,
And her check paleth,
When fades the beautiful,
Then man's love faileth;
He sits not beside her chair,
Clasps not her fingers,
Twines not the damp hair
That o'er her brow lingers.
"He comes but a moment in,
Though her eye lightens,
Though her cheek, pale and thin,
Feverishly brightens.
