Introduction to
From the loftiest point of its roof, during precisely three and a half hours of each forenoon, floats or droops, in breeze or calm, the banner of the republic; but with the
thirteen stripes turned vertically, instead of horizontally, and thus indicating that a civil, and not a military, post
of Uncle Sam's government is here established. Its front is ornamented with a portico of half-a-dozen wooden pillars,
supporting a balcony, beneath which a flight of wide granite steps descends towards the street Over the entrance hovers
an enormous specimen of the American eagle, with outspread wings, a shield before her breast, and, if I recollect aright,
a bunch of intermingled thunder- bolts and barbed arrows in each claw. With the customary infirmity of temper that
characterizes this unhappy fowl, she appears by the fierceness of her beak and eye, and the general truculency of her
attitude, to threaten mischief to the inoffensive community; and especially to warn all citizens careful of their safety
against intruding on the premises which she overshadows with her wings. Nevertheless, vixenly as she looks, many people
are seeking at this very moment to shelter themselves under the wing of the federal eagle; imagining, I presume, that her
bosom has all the softness and snugness of an eiderdown pillow. But she has no great tenderness even in her best of moods,
and, sooner or later--oftener soon than late--is apt to fling off her nestlings with a scratch of her claw, a dab of her
beak, or a rankling wound from her barbed arrows. Do you know your own history?
The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
In my native town of Salem, at the head of what, half a century ago, in the days of old King Derby, was a bustling
wharf--but which is now burdened with decayed wooden warehouses, and exhibits few or no symptoms of commercial life;
except, perhaps, a bark or brig, half-way down its melancholy length, discharging hides; or, nearer at hand, a Nova
Scotia schooner, pitching out her cargo of firewood--at the head, I say, of this dilapidated wharf, which the tide
often overflows, and along which, at the base and in the rear of the row of buildings, the track of many languid years
is seen in a border of unthrifty grass--here, with a view from its front windows adown this not very enlivening prospect,
and thence across the harbour, stands a spacious edifice of brick.

NOTE BY THE AUTHOR
Friends, thirteen years have become past time since the words of this book were dictated; purposely hath publication been
delayed unto the end that statements then made might acquire weight through the coming to pass of many of the predictions
to be found within these covers; predictions which at that time were wholly unverified, and were, moreover, regarded by
science as chimerical. Prophecy would be impossible in a Godless universe; and were it not that vibration is the law of
laws, no mind could come into unison with the Creator or any of His ministers; each living being is minister to the
creature immediately inferior. To-day witnesseth the faith of those who have believed in my words swallowed up in
knowledge: the predictions have numerously been realized; all will be. So it is that to-day, in the middle of the final
year of the century I add
THE MIGHTY CAP-STONE:
The Division of the Way Hath Come; the Midnight Hour of the Cycle Which, More Than Any Other, Formed Life's Great Divide,
Hath Struck. When first I dictated for this book there lacked, as it were, yet a few seconds to the closing of the
Sixth Day. But now for some seconds hath been fulfilled the initiation of that saying of Him who sitteth upon the throne:
"Behold! I make all things new." The Hour hath struck. And now presently "the one overcoming shall inherit all things
and I will he his God, and he shall be my son." This is for those who did set their hands to the Plow and their feet to
Furrow, and looked not back, while yet the Sixth Cycle was. "But as for the cowards (a halt between two opinions) and the
unbelievers (in aught above earthly, finite things) and the abominable, and takers of life, and passion and lust-servers,
sorcerers, idolaters and swervers from truth, their portion is the (Great Karma of the World) second death.

and the door was shut. When the foolish returned the door was not opened unto then. Beloved, remember these words which
were spoken by the apostles of the Christ; that they said that in the Last Time before the end of the Age "there will be
mockers walking after their own impious lusts (10). These indeed blaspheme what things they do not understand; but that
which they know naturally, as do the irrational animals, in these things they are corrupt (19). These are they who
separate at the Dividing of the Way, going in the finite direction, not having the Spirit (7), and are placed as an
example, to endure the retributive justice of an age-ending fire."
" The Great
Karma unfailingly setteth each evildoer back to the point attained ere the animal forces in riot obtained control over
the human. Wherefore those who in the Sixth Cycle
p. 416
lost supremacy over their lower selves won no place in the Seventh. In the closing years of the spent cycle one deserted
his helpless wife; verily, he really deserted his birthright in the New Age. Another sought, being weak-willed, to drown
worries in wine; be but drowned his soul's advanced merits. A wife was faithless to her wedding vows; the Door of the
New Time is fast against her. A thief stole, what? His own life's rewards. One there was who deprived another of physical
life; he also erased his own name from TO-DAY'S roll-call. One swore to keep a vow, but broke it often; in this New Day,
after the grave shall claim his physical being, be shall not again awaken, having lacked will to live. A man was buried
with high honors who at merciless cost to his fellowmen enriched his bank account; a gravestone near as costly as pure
gold rears above his mortal, aye, and under it is also the dead hopes of resurrection. She sold her body; purchased and
purchaser form an unhallowed company in Yesterday's catacombs, whence they shall not emerge to see the light of To-day
until, cycles afar hence "death and hell give up" their inhabitants. Such is a brief glimpse into a Closed Record.
Turn the page. Another did deeds of love; love and doers thereof live through all the days, forever. One smiled when
a smile was heroic and cheered faint souls; one visited the sick and prisoners; one clothed a naked stranger; and one
gave half of her last crust, though only to a starving dog. Verily, all these shall receive their reward in the Day now
dawning. The bad are not all bad, neither the good wholly good. She who lived a life of shame, yet ever kept hope of
better things burning in her inmost heart, and longed for death to release her, since man would not:
"Looked beyond the shadow of the late unhallowed years,
To the far, far distant upland, where yon glimmering light appears."
Verily, she shall be chastened, and made new, in the glory of To-day; but the chastening is a weary ordeal, and slow.
As the Great Karma handles her, so handleth it all others, for it is Christ's mercy, which healeth every soul's-hurt.

During many, many centuries prophecy hath looked forward to. the end of the Age as a time of awful woe, and has pictured
dread scenes of terminal horror. Am I come to say that all these predictions shall fail? Is the book of the Apocalypse,
mere allegory? Would it were! But as the Poseid age was stricken, this one must also be which has just passed. Shall
America, the Glorious, together with the rest of the world, meet similar woe? Alas, worse, though not by water but by fire.
Shall all be wiped out of existence, leaving a planet in ruins? Unto the end of full obedience and the coming into
harmony with divine law shall the lash be applied; words may not portray the scenes. This is the Message of the End
of the Age:
"The day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come nigh"-Isaiah. "Behold, the day . . . that
burneth as an oven."--Malachi.
The Hour hath struck. And yet in all of this there is no mystery, no supernatural penalty, no capricious infliction by an
offended personal God, and nothing of "man's necessity, God's opportunity." It is all of Man's own doing. He hath
wandered from the Way, and hath for the God-nature in him, which he should have revered and nourished, substituted
worship of Self and of Mammon; hath cast out Love, and placed violence, lust, greed and all the riotous animalism in
him in command of his life.

utter only that which cannot offend its master; every human enterprise, all national policies and international comities,
all things, even the churches, are willing vassals to this fiend, SELF. What then? Ruin is on all sides, the human race
and all lower creatures its victims. Masons at work on a high wan shout as a brick falls:
HERE THE WAY DIVIDES.

survived; so also shall they of the Sixth Age. In the full time by fire the Reaper shall reap, and no place be found for
physical safety by the unchanged of heart. But the time of it shall be foreshortened, else no flesh could remain alive
Stand from under! The roar of armed hosts must succeed the thunderous mutterings of the times. No more is there any
chance to prevent the coming retribution (albeit it may seem unduly deferred), for the causes have had their way.
themselves and loved ones ground under the heel and strangled by the hand of that organized

thing,
The disciples asked the Great Master, saying:
"Teacher, when will these things be?" And He said: ". . . When you see
surrounded by encampments the Jerusalem, then you may know that has come near the desolation . . . For days of vengeance
these are, to be fulfilled of all the judgments."
Friends, know ye the meaning of the name Jerusalem? That it meaneth "Vision of Peace?" Verily, so it doth. One by one
during the years all the signs of the end of the Age but one were fulfilled; but these were "only the beginning of
sorrows," for still the Spirit of Liberty abode here and there in the breasts of lovers of their fellowmen. That Spirit
wrapped itself in the glorious folds of the Stars and Stripes and proclaimed the imperishable declaration, of human
equality, granting unto all that freedom which Americans for themselves demanded.
But now the
"Stand from under! Get into the shelter of that Cross."
In all the expiatory time must indeed those who thought no wrong suffer? Ah, thought no wrong. In every life, whether
theist's, atheist's or merely one ignorant of any doctrine of belief, there comes a time when the inward Spirit beseeches
the soul to go up higher. It pleads again and again and yet again so -long as faintest hope remains. Omission too,
hath its penalty: "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" echoed throughout the past Age. Fire burns
a babe's fingers as badly as it does an adult's. There were and are those who lived and live the Cross. These shall not
suffer,
p. 421
not even though bodily death overtake them; they have no Karma to expiate.
What is the Cross? What is Christ? I have said, long ago, but I will re-state it: the Divine stream of Life, the
Indefinable God, that is, the long arm of the Living Cross. Directed, purposed Human Will is the short arm. This will
power is our call upon His Name that is never denied. Jesus, the Man of Nazareth, gave us pattern. He sacrificed self for us. He said: "Follow me." Also: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me." This self is the lower self; it is the animal. All animals are in man concreted. No hyena is so treacherous, no tiger so ferocious, no hog so brutish, no weasel so destructive; no animal creature of any sort is so perfect in its own peculiar nature as is the man who suffers any or all of these animal characteristics within him to run riot; and this is because his human soul is enslaved to the animal. Animal is only force undirected, whether it exist in a body or not. Directed, guided by will, it ceaseth to be animal. But in yielding to that guidance it must give up its free lawlessness, something never pleasant and often painful. It is sacrifice, always. Its symbol is the Cross. He sacrificed self for us on this same cross of the Causeless, Divine Stream which containeth all things and floweth no man knoweth whence nor whither. I would not minimize Calvary; it is very, very real and
the one great fact forever! "Follow me." On that same Cross, day by day, aye, moment by moment, employing our wills, as
He directed, that we may grow unto His likeness, we also, following, must sacrifice self, sacrifice the animal in us,
that is, in God's service we must never cease to direct those vagrant forces which in running riot turn Earth into a
veritable hell and supplant Love with Self. It is written that "a little child shall lead them." Verily the "little child"
of the Spirit in the New Time shall be ruler over the menagerie within the man, and that man shall therefore be able,
even as Quong, the Tchin, to rule any animal outside of himself. A vast power, this. And because of it in the New Time
no longer shall any beast, whether in human form, or in
p. 422
lower animal body, or merely apparent as a raging tempest or a disease, be free to do evil.
When the Spirit in Man cometh fully to its own, "he shall rule them as with a rod of iron,", this riotous throng.
Rule them to their own good; cut them off suddenly, even as Quong cut off the puma from furthering its own will. He shall
destroy that theretofore unbridled animal, by the Cross converting it. into a servitor to the Father. All things must
become new TO-DAY, because conditions will soon so differ that they who would hold fast to the old will, find nothing
either in Nature or elsewhere that will longer yield to the old powers.
And now here, of all places, I would indeed not be vague in expression. The Seventh Cycle is that of the Spirit. TO-DAY
existence will demand a spiritual eye, and ear, and that every sense be raised to the Heights. The very means of dealing
with Nature will be no longer gross, but become as in Hesperus, manageable only by those who, using the Cross in their
every life-act, swerve never to either side of the way, never, either in least or greatest deed doing. error, even that
good may come, knowing it can not bring aught but pain and penalty. Not one can be lost, finally, of the evildoers, for
God wastes nothing. He converts all things from lower into higher, inexorably, surely. Some must endure the retributive
justice of the Great Karma, aye., the majority must experience more or less of this fire of transfiguration; the wrath
of God is Love's severity.
Then will be those times when "all things are made new." What now, think ye? Shall not America, and the rest of the world,
be mote glorious than ever thou hast dreamt. Aye, truly. She shall not indeed have the great population census-takers
imagine. There shall be few where were many; tens replacing thousands. But not in numbers is there greatness or
magnificence; remember the Saldans and Rai Ernon; which was greater, he or that ill-fated host? Yet never shall a soul
be lost; God hath place for everyone.
It is written that after a thousand years Satan shall be loosed for a little season. That is well. For the Race possessing
p. 423
such amazing powers, though few, will be the people, yet will there be some who will have attained these powers through
mere intellect; they will abuse their privileges, having not the Spirit, and these sinful ones will the Perfect in Evil
assail, that karma shall overtake them. Having had much given unto them, of them shall much be demanded, wherefore their
karmic atonement will be more intense than words can depict.
The wrath of God is love's severity. All shall be converted from lower into higher.
"A glory shines across the coming years,
The glory of a race grown great and free.
'Twas seen by poets, sages, saints and seers,
Whose vision glimpsed the dawn that is to be.
A shining shore is by the Future's sea,
Whereon each man all stand among his peers
As equal; and to none shall bend the knee.
Awake, my soul, shake off your doubts and fears;
Behold the hosts of darkness fade and flee
Before the magic of the Morning's face;
And hear the sweet and wondrous melody
That floats to us from far-off golden days--
It is the choral song of liberty
It is the anthem of the coming Race".
