Tbe family and the bome, while t:eparate from the rest of the world, is a re4ectlon of tbegreater unity, the one-Jl~S8 of all. No maiter how. material these ties may be. there Is indicatedIn the higher development tbe· Gre'at Trutb. When we see the love as exprest tbru the many.sacrifices wblch the human fatber and mother make for tbelr chUdren, it should Impress ·ourcousclousness with the realization of wbat may be our Heavenly Fatber's Love for us. It t9In tb" ·growthof the spiritual lICe that we realize and ~ppreclate that Love means Sacri4ce, andthe greater the Love, the more wlll!ng arid ready Is tbat Love to express . Itself by Sacrifice.

Tbere.is nothing more· beautifUl In this motertal'. existence than the expression or the bumanmother's love, wltb Its absolute untiring· devotion bd. constant· sacr14ces. It Is grossly un­appreciated, but Love, builds 'an· enduring foundatlo~of cb~racter, besides it Is Its o~n com­pen88t1on. True Love dcslresnootber compensation' than that· It may' express Itself by glvln'g.·This truth becomes more p.vldent aR the spirit evolves.- When Love grows, understanding unfolds,for ono becomes nearer God 'and to His consciousness of all things. Love Is the rhytbm -ofGOd and of His world, It Is peace and stren'gtli and joy.

(It Is little wonder tbat Boehme Is misunderstood., He saw wltb spiritual eyes the real andpermanent tblngs of this world, ·the rest be treated as mere dross. God's Love was his lightand without this light, be repe'Jltedly stated tb~t nothing really wortb wbile could be seeuor unCierstood.) . .

Wh'at IR man? He IR the "reat miracle oftbe unlverlle. To Identify him wltb the anImalorder does not properly classify him. To reduce tbe elemeuts of bls body to tbelr cbemlcal<'onstltuentll doeR not Ratlsfactorlly explain him. There·ar DO mecbanlcs. of the 8Oul, no visibledemoDRtration of Its functions.

'l'he proghlm ot evolution whlcb carries track tbe blRtorv of bumao'lty thonsands 6f yearstbru organic nature to the Inorganlc, and, adding thousands to tbousands. still dlscoveJ:Roriginal ·beglnnlngs in the prlme\"al "star dust which contained the promise and potency otevery .

Wben It Is Insisted. as Darwin did. tbat man muSt never iforget bl8 humble origin, I would reply that, wblle man's origin may be bumble. nevertbeles8 'the Hlmpler tbe beginning the more wonderful the procell8, and tar more amazing tbe· prodJJct•.

It Is no explaD'8tloD of mao that his processes arpotentlal In tbe original dust of tbe stars.Whu establlsht this primitive potential? How Is It that mAn bas been able not only to' rli!e'abo,'" the animal order to wblch he belongs. but poRSCS!!CR the capacity also to comprebend tbe,very proceRS Itself of wblcb he IR tbe product?

Why haR the spirit of man grown to sucb proportions and significance In tbls age-longevolution?

Arranged and drawn by Rt. Wor. Fr. Firmus IXo (Metropolitan).

N the beginning the appointed God of a newcreation took up his work in a space of thefirmament which we now visualize andconceive of as the location of the Sun. Inthe beginning was "the Word," the seven­toned Ray of creation, - sent forth underthe WILL of God; focust thru the Mindplane, or WISDOM of God; upon the zo­diacal ethers, therein beginning the ACTIV-

lTV of God, or, the Creation. Thus "The" Lord made Heaven," (Fireand Air,) "and the Earth," (Water and Earth,) the Four Elements.Thus, the Life Ray, focust thru the archetypal patterns, Uinto the Water,into the Air," - "brot forth" the manfested forms upon the Earth of"every living creature ;u-and U1he Earth re-constructs the types whichshe receives," "in a constantly ascending scale of evolution."

In this evolution, four Life waves have surged forth and spent them­selves; and the fifth, of our own evolution, having surged to its highestforce, is now subsiding in fouf lesser waves: - Homos Americanus,Mongolicus, Caucasicus and Ethiopicus. Each of these in turn has sentout numerous lesser vibrations or sub-races; 104 Americanus, 76 Mon­golicus, 107 Caucasicus and 40 Ethiopicus. These comprise suchraces as occult and non-occult anthropology consider sufficiently indivi­dual to be accounted a distinct division of the Life-wave.

The Brotherhood teaches that there is already gathering behindone last surviving ripple of this wave, the power of the next great Surge,which will become the sixth in evolution. Some point to Australia,and some to North America as the scene of this resurgence. But itseems that North America will be the theatre of this evolution, sincetypes and ideals evolve faster in those latitudes upon which the Sunworks thm Aries-Libra, or under the "Royal Arch," symbolizing theSpring, Summer and Harvesting evolution of the great Cosmic seasons.

EDITORIAL NOTE: This chart has been most carefully compiled. corrected and re­vised. and we believe it will be found the most accurate and complete presentation of theraces of the world. ever put forth. It is a splendid symbolism of the famous Tree whose rootsar in Heaven. and whose branches ar on earth. This charI should be preserved by all occultstudents 10 whom it may come, for reference when studying the evolulion of races. regardlessof school, cult. or sect.

The publication of this insert supplement in live colors and gold. is made possible thru thegenerosity of Fraters Cadmus of West Gate, and Firmus of Metropolitan College.

Arranged fWd drawn by Rt. \Vor. Fr. Firmus IXo (Metropolitan).

N the beginning the appointed God of a newcreation took up his work in a space of thefirmament which we now visualize andconceive of as the location of the Sun. Inthe beginning was "the Word," the seven­toned Ray of creation, - sent forth underthe WILL of God; focust thru the Mindplane, or WISDOM of God; upon the zo­

diacal ethers, therein beginning the ACTIV-

ITY of God, or, the Creation. Thus "The Lord made Heaven," (Fireand Air,) "and the Earth," (Water and Earth,) the Four Elements.Thus, the Life Ray, focust thru the archetypal patterns. "into the Water,into the Air," - "brot forth" the manfested forms upon the Earth of"every living creature ;"- and "the Earth re-constructs the types whichshe receives," "in a constantly ascending scale of evolution."

In this evolution, four Life waves have surged forth and spent them­selves; and the fifth, of our own evolution, having surged to its highestforce, is now subsiding in four lesser waves: - Homos Americanus,Mongolicus, Caucasicus and Ethiopicus. Each of these in turn has sentout numerous lesser vibrations or sub-races; 104 Americanus, 76 Mon­golicus, 107 Caucasicus and 40 Ethiopicus. These comprise suchraces as occult and non·occult anthropology consider sufficiently indivi­dual to be accounted a distinct division of the Life-wave.

The Brotherhood teaches that there is already gathering behindone last surviving ripple of this wave, the power of the next great Surge,which will become the sixth in evolution. Some point to Australia,and some to North America as the scene of this resurgence. But itseems that North America will be the theatre of this evolution, sincetypes and ideals evolve faster in those latitudes upon which the Sunworks thru Aries-Libra, or under the "Royal Arch," symbolizing theSpring, Summer and Harvesting evolution of the great Cosmic seasons.

EDITORIAL NOTE: This chart has been most carefully compiled. corrected and re­vised, and we believe it will be found the most accurate and complete presentation of theraces of the world. ever pur forrh. It is a splendid symbolism of the famous Tree whose rootsar in Heaven. and whose branches ar on earth. This chart should be preserved by all occultsrudents to whom it may come, for reference when studying rhe evolution of races. regardlessof school, cult, or sect.

The publication of rhis insert supplement in five colors and gold, is made possible thm thegenerosity of Fraters Cadmus of West Gate, and Firmus of Metropolitan College.
