unknown. As he becomes to himself a manifestation of evil, I will make to him a new manifestation of good." And now the time had come when the evil must be swept from the earth to make way for yet greater good. The planet over which "the morning stars had sang together," and which might still have been floating through the heavens to the same strains-the ark of space-now showed only a solitary vessel in the midst of a shoreless waste of waters, freighted with the hardly-saved wreck of a world. departed. But that vessel was conveying into the future. the precious germs of a new era of the Divine manifestation. For the human incarnation of the Divine-the great manifestation of God by man, as well as to him-is yet to

come.
