and Mr. Anderson had been admiring the circus-wagons, which were as bright and shiny as new paint could make them. Ever since the great Ringden Brothers circus had gone into winter-quarters in November, the circus people who had not gone home had been working on the outfit.

All the wagons had been painted and the cages gilded, the harnesses mended and blacked, and the buckles polished. The camels and elephants had new trappings, and all the equestrian and aerial performers had new costumes. The clowns had been made gorgeous by colored suits; even the tenting had been over-

 hauled, and the stakes, chains, and seats looked after. The blacksmith-shop and the barber-shop had new equipment, while the dining-room had an entire new set of dishes. Circus people are always breaking dishes. Rarely does a circus man eat off a whole plate, or drink out of a perfect cup.

Ali and Mr. Anderson were now sitting upon some overturned nail-kegs on the south side of the big wagon-house, enjoying the March sunshine, and it was really warm, for this was California, and the roses were in full bloom.

"It won't be long before we'll be on the road," remarked Mr. Anderson after a long pause. "We usually get started about the last of March so as to get around to Madison Square late in April."

"That's so," said Ali. "I'll be glad

 to be at work again. It's a great life; full of excitement."

"Yes," returned Mr. Anderson; "there's excitement enough and hard work also. I've been thinking of late that this circus life is too hard for you, Ali. You know you have had malaria, and for the past two summers riding in the hot sleepers at night and working so hard in hot weather does not seem to agree with you."

Ali sighed. "Yes, Sahib," he said, "it is hard work, but I like it."

"I've been thinking," continued Mr. Anderson, "that if I could find just the right sort of a job for you and Joie it would be better than the circus life; I mean a position, with some animal park or zoo."

"Of course I would do just what you

 say, Sahib," returned Ali. "I am sure you know best. You know everything."

The man reached over and squeezed the boy's hand affectionately. "All right, sonny," he said, "we'll see."

All unknown to Ali and Mr. Anderson, just the right position for Joie and the boy was being prepared at that very moment in far-away New England, in the beautiful city of Springdale, close to a majestic river, celebrated in song and story. The city fathers were discussing the advisability of securing an elephant for the park. When all the arguments, pro and con, had been heard, the city voted unanimously for the elephant; and thereby Ali and Joie's destinies were changed.

When the morning papers of Springdale announced the decision, the excite-

Page:Jungle Joe, pride of the circus; the story of a trick elephant (IA junglejoeprideof00hawk).pdf/262

 ment among the young people in that city was tremendous.

Beany and Stubby and Fatty, three of her wide-awake boys meeting on a street corner, gave vent to their excitement.

"Say, fellows," cried Beany, hailing his friends with a flourish of his hands, "ain't it great that the city has voted for the elephant?"

"You bet," chorused his chums.

"Fellows," said Fatty, "teacher says that we can each of us buy a part of the elephant. I'm goin' to put in a quarter. Would that buy one hair on him?"

For answer his chums broke into peals of laughter. "Hey, Fatty," cried Stubby, poking his friend in the ribs, "where was you brought up? Don't you know elephants ain't got hair?"

"Bet you a quarter," answered Stubby.


text:
Page:Jungle Joe, pride of the circus; the story of a trick elephant (IA junglejoeprideof00hawk).pdf/263

 "Don't be bettin' the quarter you are goin' to put into the elephant," warned Beany.

"I ain't. I got another. I bet you both of them."

"Aw, let's don't be wastin' our money bettin'," said cautious Stubby. "Elephants ain't got hair and there ain't no use bettin' about it. Fellows, the bakery on the corner is sellin' six stale cream-puffs for five cents to-day; a regular bargain. I've got a nickel. Let's have some." So the conversation about the elephant continued at the bakery, the boys arguing between bites at the cream-cakes, with the cream dripping from their chins.

Most of the children in Springdale were just as excited as these three boys. All sorts of plans for earning money were put into operation; concerts were given; lawn

Page:Jungle Joe, pride of the circus; the story of a trick elephant (IA junglejoeprideof00hawk).pdf/264

 parties were held; and never in the history of the city had children been so willing to do errands. Their unusual industry resulted in a considerable sum of money.

A week later, Mr. Anderson, who was a native of Springdale and who had spent his boyhood in the same haunts that Beany and Stubby and Fatty now occupied, received a telegram from the city. He took it to Ali.

"Son," he said, "I've got just the place for you and Joie. It is in the beautiful city of Springdale where I was born and where I spent my boyhood. They have a wonderful park of beautiful forest land, in fact, they call it Woodland Park. It is an ideal place for you. I had better wire them our acceptance at once. They want to buy Joie, but you would not want to sell him, so we will arrange for a ten

 years' lease of yourself and Joie to the city of Springdale."

Thus it came about that Ali and Joie severed their relations with the great Ringden Brothers circus, and entrained for Springdale in far-away New England.

Such an outpouring of children had never been seen before in Springdale as that which welcomed Ali and Joie at the station when they arrived at the city of their adoption.

A monstrous parade had been planned, with members of the city government riding at the head and half a dozen youthful bands and drum-corps in the procession. The Boy Scouts were there, a thousand strong; and the Girl Scouts had five hundred in line; each of the city schools had its division. It was a wonderful day for the children of Springdale; and Joie and


text:
Page:Jungle Joe, pride of the circus; the story of a trick elephant (IA junglejoeprideof00hawk).pdf/266

 Ali rode at the very head of the procession. Joie's trappings were all new; his howdah had been gilded; and Ali looked very fine in the court dress of a Malay prince.

So while the bands blared, and the drum-corps thumped, and flags waved, and children shouted themselves hoarse, the parade wended its way to Woodland Park where Ali and Joie were to live. There was a convenient little cottage for Ali, and close to it a small barn that had been fitted up for Joie, and there was hay enough in the barn to last him for months.

Woodland Park was a beautiful place, stretching for five miles along the majestic river. There were boulevards for automobiles and foot-paths for pedestrians, winding in and out among the trees.


text:
Page:Jungle Joe, pride of the circus; the story of a trick elephant (IA junglejoeprideof00hawk).pdf/267

 Squirrels scampered along the pathways or chattered in the tree-tops, and birds were everywhere.

There was a large pasture for the bison, where six head grazed peacefully, and a high enclosure for the deer; there was a bird-house and a snake-house, and dens for lions, bears, and wolves; not to mention a large den, with a swimming-pool for the polar bear. So, it will be seen that Woodland Park was an Eldorado of beauty and wonder for the children of Springdale.

They had always liked the park, but now they had Joie and Ali they liked it better than ever. Every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon they would come to the park in droves, and Ali would put on his court dress and put on Joie's best howdah and take the children for rides up


text:
Page:Jungle Joe, pride of the circus; the story of a trick elephant (IA junglejoeprideof00hawk).pdf/268

 and down the boulevards under the friendly trees.

Joie and Ali were never more happy than when the howdah was swarming with laughing and screaming children, and Joie was pacing up and down with Ali walking at his side. Thus it was that the two grew into the hearts and affections of all the children of Springdale.

Every autumn when Ringden Brothers circus went into headquarters, Mr. Anderson would leave the show and come back to Springdale to be at home with his family. The winter evenings he and Ali spent before the open fire roasting chestnuts and popping corn, and talking over the old days of elephant-drives and tigerhunts in far-away Malay land. But, no matter upon what topic they talked, on these rare evenings, Ali was sure to steer

 the conversation back to Joie; to remind the Sahib of what a clever baby elephant Joie had been, and how wonderful he was now. But he was not an animal, Ali would insist when any one referred to him in that manner. "Joie is Folks; he knows as much as any of us. I have never forgotten, Sahib, what the old priest told me. It has saved my life several times, and it helps me always to understand the wild creatures. Joie is my brother."

exclude the non-citizen extends to a power to investigate and determine an application by the non-citizen for permission to remain, and to hold the noncitizen in detention for the time necessary to follow the required procedures of decision-making. The non-citizen is not being detained as a form of punishment, but as an incident of the process of deciding whether to give the non-citizen permission to enter the Australian community. Without such permission, the non-citizen has no legal right to enter the community, and a law providing for detention during the process of decision-making is not punitive in nature."

The approach of Edelman J

The approach of Edelman J is slightly different, although perhaps only because it disaggregates the concept of punishment as used in Lim, an approach which has not yet been recognised by this Court. His approach begins with the premise that Lim uses the concept of punishment in two different senses. The core instance of the first sense is where harsh consequences are imposed based upon classic criminal notions of just desert. Chapter III of the Constitution extends beyond these classic criminal notions of punishment based upon just desert to other, analogous instances of "protective punishment". The purpose of a law which is concerned with punishment in this sense would be illegitimate.

A second, and separate, sense of punishment was also recognised in Lim. The separate sense is a novel conception of punishment which concerns forms of detention that have been described as "prima facie" punitive, or which have been deemed to be punitive, because the detention imposed is disproportionate to, in the sense of being not reasonably capable of being seen as necessary for, a

 joying in the same degree the pleasures of the repast. It did not, however, call forth any particular observation, some attributing it to one cause, some to another; but the real foundation of it was never glanced at by any. The party separated at an early hour expressing their best wishes for the prosperity of the young couple. James and his deluded bride left Camberwell immediately, for town, it having been previously arranged that they should spend the short time that Abigail could remain in town at a mutual friend's, in Gray's Inn Lane. To that friend they repaired, when they had the mortification to learn, that a sudden occasion had put it out of that friend's power to accommodate them with a sleeping-room; and, in consequence of this unforeseen accident, a lodging was procured for them at the public house known by the sign of the Bull, in Gray's Inn Lane. We would willingly pass over many particulars connected with this night, from an anxious desire we feel to avoid every thing that can possibly give offence to the most fastidious mind. Still, as this first night of their married life has very much to do with that explanation which the public are so desirous to obtain, and as we feel ourselves bound to give as faithful a relation as we can of the subject, we have no alternative than to give the facts as they are delivered to us.

Shortly after they had retired to bed, James complained of being very unwell, alleging that he had taken something in the course of the day which had disagreed with him: he arose frequently during the night, and groaned and sighed much; so that his wife had not the most remote idea but that his illness was positively real. On the following night he still remained indisposed; the third day and night found him no better; and to this cause, and no other Mrs. A. now solemnly avers she imputed the total ab-

Richard the Third, IV. iv

Ungovern'd youth, to wail it with their age:

The parents live, whose children thou hast butcher'd,

Old barren plants, to wail it with their age.

Swear not by time to come; for that thou hast

Misus'd ere us'd, by times ill-us'd o'erpast.

K. Rich. As I intend to prosper, and repent,

So thrive I in my dangerous affairs

Of hostile arms! myself myself confound!

Heaven and fortune bar me happy hours!

Day, yield me not thy light; nor, night, thy rest!

Be opposite all planets of good luck

To my proceeding, if, with dear heart's love,

Immaculate devotion, holy thoughts,

I tender not thy beauteous princely daughter!

In her consists my happiness and thine;

Without her, follows to myself, and thee,

Herself, the land, and many a Christian soul,

Death, desolation, ruin, and decay:

It cannot be avoided but by this;

It will not be avoided but by this.

Therefore, dear mother,—I must call you so,—

Be the attorney of my love to her:

Plead what I will be, not what I have been;

Not my deserts, but what I will deserve:

Urge the necessity and state of times,

And be not peevish found in great designs.

Q. Eliz. Shall I be tempted of the devil thus?

K. Rich. Ay, if the devil tempt you to do good.

Q. Eliz. Shall I forget myself to be myself?

K. Rich. Ay, if your self's remembrance wrong yourself.

Q. Eliz. Yet thou didst kill my children.

The Egyptian Moral Code

MANY hundreds, even thousands, of years ago, there lived in the Land of Khem, which we now call Egypt, a people whose grade of civilization is not, even at the present day, fully appreciated. In the passing of ages, as this mighty people fell from a position of preeminence, warring factions fought over the palaces and temples, destroyed great libraries of books, mutilated inscriptions, and so nearly effaced all manner of records that the few that escaped destruction are now considered of inestimable value. Yet from such varied sources as a scrap of writing upon a broken tablet, a time-stained and fragile bit of papyrus or a mouldering inscription upon the wall of a ruined temple, scholars have reconstructed the ancient power, and given us an insight into the deeds of the past.

And truly interesting it is, to observe that each new flash of light reveals something that almost invariably points not to primitive conditions but to an excellent civilization. The system of religion with its innumerable and mysterious gods reveals to the investigator not a lack of ability to discern a First Cause but rather an explanation of various aspects and manifestations of the Deity. The strange solid temples reveal to the artist not a lack of proportion or artistic taste but rather the perfection of both. A perfection in which strength and endurance held first position and where strength, of itself, was beauty. The movements of the rulers reveal to the historian, not the fanatical turnings of a barbarian chief, but the well planned and scientific passages and positions of an accomplished strategist. Even as the embassies and court show an established line of state work and diplomacy.

The incidents and examples together with their proofs, could be numbered by hundreds, were it necessary to so illustrate the point.

And yet this mighty kingdom which stood, during the reign of Thothmes III, at the head of the civilized world, degenerated and fell. Such a fall would be generally classed as a working of the law of equality. But for the true explanation we can turn to the occult teachings which, as such, were known through the rise and fall of the Egyptian power. A slight digression from the subject of this article, for the purpose of outlining these teachings, will, perhaps, not be greatly out of place.

Life, in the form in which it appears on earth—whether that form be man, a plant, or the supposedly lifeless mineral—is the outpouring of what is called a "Life Wave." The life wave, of which the highest manifestation or "crest" was man, acting upon the materials of the Nile Valley, produced a race of people, highly civilized, artistic, and having an intelligent conception of the Deity. But when the wave had exhausted the opportunities for experience which such an environment offered, it was removed to give place to a less advanced wave. Hence the apparent degeneration of the people. It must be remembered, however, that the wave crest, or "impulse," still advanced, although under different conditions. Such a wave as that which manifested itself in Egypt, could be traced back from that point, or forward through the Roman Empire, the Age of Art in Greece, the Renaissance in Europe, and so on down to its present activity in the United States. Consideration of the subject requires no abnormally deep study—its truth is apparent to all who consider it, and requires no stronger proof—nor could it have any stronger—than that given by the appearance of the wave crest in its various environments.

But to return to the subject in hand.

The fact is generally acknowledged that Moses, the lawgiver of the Hebrews, obtained his actual experiences and study while among the Egyptians. His position among them gave him all the advantages of the time—insight into the government, the system of religion, and the method of caring for a great body of people. All of which was a training for the work he was to do. The Moral Code, handed through him to the Hebrews, as contained in the Books of the Law, represents the fruit of his work. This code is as complete as such a code could possibly be. And all possibilities of discussion are prevented by the appointing of judges to arbitrate disputes and settle penalties. The code, as contained in the Old Testament is accessable [sic] to any student who may care to analyze it.

As the keystone of the Hebrew code, ten Commandments, or general headings are given. In the Egyptian code, there are forty-two headings classifying what might be termed "moral transgressions." But a detailed record of the subheadings is yet to be discovered, and it is doubtful whether a record of such size could have survived the storms that have swept over Egypt. Nevertheless, the sculptures and paintings found in more or less mutilated form on the walls of various temples give ample evidence that there were many religious laws and ordinances not mentioned in the Book of the Dead. As, for instance, there have been found minute directions to govern the matter of sacrifices. These with the Egyptians, as with the Hebrews and other classical nations, were of two natures—bloody and unbloody. Oil, wine, honey, insence [sic] and flowers were the principal factors in an unbloody sacrifice, and for the bloody sacrifice, a sheep, a goat, a cow and, on special occasions a male calf, were offered. And, as directions for such work, including the ceremonial scattering of blood writings have been found that are quite as complete as those contained in the early books of Leviticus, written by Moses.

The forty-two headings of the Egyptian code have been found, with little variation, in a number of places, written by various scribes. Probably the fullest form in which they are extant is that found in the Book of the Dead written by the scribe Nu. The code is generally given in the form of a negative confession, the idea being that the soul, in the Hall of Judgment, must be able to repeat it, and—the important point—repeat it truthfully. The belief that such an ordeal must be experienced was common to the Egyptians, and thus it may be that some people who would otherwise have led immoral lives, were held true through fear. Which state, although not ideal, was at least much better than flagrant wickedness.

The code, in what was probably its true form, is about as follows:

1. I have not turned from God.

2. I have not thought with scorn of the god within my city.

3. I have not snared fowl upon the preserves of the gods, nor driven cattle therefrom.

4. I have not made myself dead to the words of truth.

5. I have not removed the cakes of the gods.

6. I have not removed the cakes of the Khus.

7. I have not done murder.

8. I have not given word that murder shall be done.

9. I have not robbed with violence.

10. I have not taken property from one who is oppressed.

11. I have not defrauded the temples of their just due.

12. I have not extinguished a fire that should burn.

13. I have not uttered that which is false.

14. I have not uttered evil words.

15. I have not pried into the works of others.

16. I have not spoken falsely against any man.

17. I have not eaten my heart. (Lost my temper.)

18. I have not caused harm to one who serves.

19. I have not done that which is abomination to the gods.

20. I have not exalted myself nor sought honors.

21. I have not wrought evil in the holy places.

22. I have not struck fear into the heart of any man.

23. I have not oppressed those who are of my family.

24. I have not mingled with evil men.

25. I have not overworked those who look to me for hire.

26. I have not caused pain.

27. I have not caused man to hunger nor weep.

28. I have not committed adultery.

29. I have not polluted myself.

30. I have not diminished from the bushel.

31. I have not moved the pillars of Thoth. (The landmarks).

32. I have not added to the weight upon the scales. (To cheat the seller).

33. I have not diminished from the weight upon the scales. (To cheat the buyer).

34. I have not taken milk from the mouths of children.

35. I have not driven cattle from their pastures.

36. I have not caught fish, using fish of their kind as bait.

37. I have not sought to turn back the waters that should flow.

38. I have not made impure the waters of the canals.

39. I have not acted with deceit.

40. I have not mutilated the ploughed land.

41. I have not cursed toward the king.

42. I have not wrongfully increased my wealth.

A glance at these headings will show that a number of them are of a symbolic nature, and that all of them are well fitted to the people and time to which they applied.

The code contained in that very famous chapter, "The Hall of Two Truths," is very similar to the one given above, but is given in a much more mysterious and Kabalistic form. The soul addresses, with each item of the code, a separate god, and of these gods, there are, of course forty-two—being the same gods as those appearing as witnesses or "assessors" in the paintings of the Trial of the Dead, found upon the walls of all important tombs. A fair example of the form is given in the two following:

"Hail thou, who art twice evil, who comest forth from the nome of Ati, I have not given way to wrath concerning myself, without a cause."

"Hail thou, whose teeth shine as the sun, who comest forth from Tashe, I have attacked no man."

It is highly probable that the various forms and addresses contained in this, and in other, chapters of the Book of the Dead, had a significance which concealed light to the initiate. All such truths, however, have been lost, or have been kept strictly secret and concealed. But the love of the people and the priesthood for occult works is sufficient proof that the various formulae were not a mere succession of chance words.

In this code one can readily observe the elements of the code prepared by Moses. And also a suggestion (Note Nos. 7 and 8) of the explicitness which characterizes the Hebrew writings.

Knowledge of the Egyptian Code is not essential except to the student, but it is at least interesting as a remnant of that mysterious civilization which, long since, ran its allotted course upon the banks of the Sacred Nile.

The Story of Isis and Osiris

IN the fourth year of the reign of the good king Menephtha, by Divine Right, Pharaoh, Ruler of the Upper and Lower Lands, Beloved by Ra, Guided of the Horus, I, Harkases the scribe, do write.

By royal command I write, that there may be preserved to generations to come the true story of the sublime Osiris, Isis, Beloved of The World, and Horus, the Great King, the Mediator, Prince of the World, gathered to Osiris in Amenti, and there speaking into his father’s ear.

For there be those, even now, who disclaim that which herein is written, saying it is but a fable of the priests, told for good but having in itself no foundation of truth. On all such false people may there fall the curse of the outraged gods. May their lives be saddened, may their deaths be terrible, and their bodies lie unburied on the sands of the desert. May their souls wander forever in the darkest regions of the Tuat (underworld), unjudged, without hope, and without a shell in which to hide.

For all happened truly as I shall write. And, by Osiris, the Judge, hear my words and know that I tell you of that which was, even as set forth here.

Once upon a time, many, many hundreds of years ago, when the world was young, there lived in Egypt a king who was Osiris. And this was at a time when Ra smiled upon the land, and gods yet lived upon the earth. For at a later period they all withdrew in disgust, and found places for themselves in the heavens, leaving man to his evil ways, that he might work out his own salvation, as he could.

Osiris, who was part god and part man, was a son of the divine father of the gods, Seb (or Saturn), and Nut (the heavens). He was wise and brave as all kings should be, and was greatly beloved by the people of Egypt. He was upright in all his works, true and steadfast in all his judgments, even as now he is just in Amenti, waiting to receive us all, and hear from each his case.

He was not alone upon his throne, however, for his sister-wife, Isis, sat beside him, and assisted him with her wise counsel. And Isis, also, was dear to the hearts of the people. She was called Divine Mother, Ruler of The Sea, Protector of Marriage, Source of Life, Eye of The Sun. And wherever she went, about the city wherein was the palace of the king, the people gathered in the streets and cheered most loyally, to assure her of their affection.

So that the kingdom was peaceful and happy, and Isis and Osiris were much pleased with the success of their government over the sons of men.

This king and queen were doubly happy in their life, for that they were given a little son, Prince of Egypt, whose name was Horus. This child was like a sunbeam in the palace, always bright and merry, and was the darling of the people and the pride of his parents.

O Beneficent Horus, ye who didst rule! Ye who even now art struggling for thy people, accept here the homage of the scribe Harkases, he who would be of the Osiris and be at peace, after the passing of his spirit. Thou shining one of the Blessed Trinity, who with thy father Osiris, and thy mother Isis, ever stands before us to teach us of the truths, accept thou of the prayers of the servant. So shall all be well So shall all be well with me.

In the palace of the Osiris dwelt also Nephthys, sister of Isis and Osiris, and Set, their brother. Nephthys was especially the nurse of the little prince, and spent much of her time with him that he might not meet with any mischief. For she was of a noble substance and all the ways of her heart were kind ways.

But Set, the brother, was of a very different sort. He was ill favored, ugly, and very jealous. And, in addition to this, he was envious of his brother and sister who were king and queen of Egypt, and was always turning over in his dark mind some scheme whereby he might secure the throne for himself. But as long as he kept to himself, no one about the palace was much troubled at his presence. And, more and more, he drew away from the people about him, and became wrapped up in his own evil thoughts. So that, when even his kindred spoke pleasantly to him, he only growled and turned away. And, although this at first made them unhappy, they soon came to expect it, and at last ceased to give serious thought to the matter.

Also in the palace was Anubis, son of Set, by Nephthys, he who was good, and who accompanied the Divine Mother in her wanderings, as thou shalt see.

Now, Isis and Osiris, being more learned than the mortals about them, knew many things that they desired to impart to the people of Egypt. Chief among these was the art of Agriculture, tilling the soil and planting it to the best advantage; timing their work by the blessed floods of the Sacred Nile, and other matters of a like nature. And these secrets the people were very glad to have, because by securing noble harvests they would become prosperous, rich, and happier than ever.

And therefore, whilst Isis remained with the infant Horus, Osiris traveled about the land of Egypt, instructing the people in all wisdom, and receiving homage from all. So was all the land calm and thriving, under the guidance of its wise king and queen.

But there gathered a cloud in the heart of Set (whom ye of priesthood know as Typhon) so that his evil mind (Guard me, Osiris!) conceived an horrible conspiracy against Osiris, the good and noble king. Therefore did Set gather about him discontented ones to the number of threescore, ten and two, among whom was Aso, Queen of Æthiopia, that they might devise a plan whereby the throne of Egypt would be delivered over to the dominion of evil.

So was there made a beautiful chest of ebony, overlaid with gold and many precious stones. And this chest was of the size of a man, even of the size of Osiris, the glorious king. This being done, a banquet was prepared at which the conspirators were to sit, and a message of greeting was sent to Osiris, asking that he come and honor the feast with his presence. And Osiris, suspecting no evil, came with a good heart.

In the midst of the feast, there was produced the chest of which I have written. And, when all had admired its beauty and the workmanship thereon, Set announced that, of his open heart, would he give even the chest to he who could rest therein in comfort. Whereupon, Osiris, urged by those about him, entered and lay within the chest, which was for him a perfect match. But ere he could arise again therefrom, Set closed the lid upon him, and imprisoned him in the confines of the chest. Wherefore the evil company cried aloud in triumph, and, seizing the chest, carried it to the border of the Nile and threw it therein.

Weep, ye who read, at this deed of fearful darkness. This vile horror upon the noble Osiris, at the remembrance of which the gods cry aloud as they sail the seas above the sky. And, when thy lamentations be finished, read on, for but the first of my writing is finished.

Divine Ra, who, in thy Sektet boat rideth daily upon the celestial seas: Thou who risest from, and settest in, as a hidden being, a secret place: guide thou my hand as I write. The gods rejoice in thee, and places beyond the mind of man sing praises to thy glory. Divine Osiris—Isis—Beneficent Horus—be with me as I write of thee, and bear witness that my words are true words.

And so it happened that the chest containing the Osiris drifted down the waters of the river for many days, until it rested at last upon the bosom of the sea. And, in time, drifted near the coast of Phœnicia, finally being stopped by a bush that grew upon the water’s edge. And Ra, whose hand was stretched out in pity toward the Osiris, spoke from his mysterious mind to the bush whereon lay the chest. And the bush was an Erica. So, behold, the bush grew before its time, rising, a mighty tree, toward the heavens. And, as it grew, it clasped to its heart the chest of the Osiris, so that when it stood at last, tall and straight and beautiful, the chest was quite within it, hidden from the eye of man.

And Ra appeared in a dream to Melcarthus, King of Byblus, and told him of the mighty tree that had grown upon the water’s edge. For Melcarthus was building a palace wherein to live, and to support the roof thereof, were needed strong, true trees. And Melcarthus journeyed to the water’s edge, and, behold, there was the tree, even as he had seen it in his dream. So, knowing naught of the cause thereof, he took the tree and set it within his palace, even as a support for the mighty roof. Thus was the Osiris drawn from the waters and placed safe against the time for his coming forth from the chest.

Now, when it happened that Isis the queen saw not her lord, and heard no word from him, that she grew troubled with many fears. And as the days passed in darkness to her, her cheeks grew pale and her eyes large and dark with weeping for her brother and her king. And she hid herself from the sight of men, for her heart was heavy within her. So that she lifted her voice in sorrow, and thus cried out the bitterness of her spirit:

Come to thy queen, Osiris,

Come, for thy sister cries aloud to thee.

Come to thy queen, Osiris,

Hear thou my cries, God An, and come to me.

My heart is heavy with its weight of woe,

Ah! Travel not to where I may not go,

Return, Beloved, as I cry to thee!

Come to thy love, Osiris,

Come, change my darkness into brightest day.

Come to thy love, Osiris,

Come to the heart that breaks for thee, Osiris,

Thou who by evil works art drawn away.

Ah, my Beloved, lost upon the sea,

Hear thou my prayers, and come again to me.

Return, Beloved, as a new-born day!"

And she wept many tears, nor could the words of any avail to comfort her. Until it happened, upon a night, that she lay upon her couch and slept. And, behold, Ra appeared in a dream, and counseled her that she depart from the palace, wherein she was, and rest not until she had found tidings of him who was lost. Bidding her meanwhile to be of good cheer and a stout heart.

Accordingly, upon the following day, she called unto her the counsellors and able men of the kingdom, and charged them with the rule of Egypt, telling them of her dream, and that she had no course save to depart into the world, nor return therefrom until it be that she receive tidings of the Osiris. Also to this end did she place the child Horus at Butos, where it was that he would be safe and cared for as best suited his station. And so Isis, the gentle and noble queen, accompanied by Nephthys, her sister, went forth in sadness from the palace. Nor did Anubis tarry in the palace, but followed them in the hope of being of value in the search. For to Isis did Anubis owe his upbringing. As Nephthys, his mother, was in fear of Set, and, at the word of Isis, had given the child to her, that he might be cared for and taught all that was proper and just.

Long did they journey, searching diligently at all points in their wanderings, and all without avail. Until there came to Isis another vision, and Ra stood before her, saying:

Restrain thy tears; restrain thy tears.

The steadfast heart within thy breast

Calls me to help thee in thy search.

Go thou to Byblus, where the Queen

Will give thee shelter. There thou shalt

Receive the tidings of thy lord.

Restrain thy tears. Restrain thy tears.

Hark to my words, for thou shalt find."

Also told he of the device whereby she might arrive safely within the palace. For he placed within her hand a vial of perfume, subtly sweet. And this perfume placed Isis upon her hair. So that in Byblus she sat before the fountain, and loosed her hair to the breeze. And the perfume called to the children of the king, so that they came to her; nor could they bear to be parted her from. Wherefor Saosis, the queen, drew near unto Isis, and besought her that she would tarry within the palace, that she might care for the children and be even as a nurse to them.

And so it happened that Isis entered the palace, and saw therein the pillar wherein was the chest of the Osiris. And when Isis drew near, her heart leaped within her, for, from the pillar she heard a voice, and knew that within the pillar was the Osiris calling to her. So, as the knowledge came to her, she wept, and the people marveled thereat, knowing naught of the cause thereof.

In this manner was Isis placed as nurse in the palace of the king at Byblus. And so did she rest, biding the time when she might release the Osiris from the pillar wherein he was. And so, in secret, did she plan to favor the king, that he might be kind and grant her that she might open the pillar. To this end she drew Asophles, son of the king, apart from the other children. And in the night when all prying eyes were closed in sleep did she place him in a magic fire. And each night the fire consumed a part of his mortality, so that, when the enchantment should be completed, he would rise immortal and strong from the ashes. So, whilst at night the child stood within the fire, Isis, transformed into a swallow, flew about the pillar of Erica wood, and cried, sometime in sorrow and sometime in hope, to her lord the Osiris. And she sang the words of the swallow, even those which have been from time immemorial:

I am a swallow, I am a swallow.

The ways of the gods are open unto me.

My words are true words.

Behold the swallow.

Hail ye, gods whose breath is life!

Hail ye, gods who keep the doors!

Hail ye, who keep the Pool of Double Fire!

Now may I enter in, and yet pass forth,

And cry to thee to tell of my desire!"

Now it happened, upon a night, that Saosis, the queen, slept but ill. And she arose from her couch that she might walk about the palace. Thus did she come within the hall wherein was the pillar, and there she saw her son in the midst of a strange fire, and she cried out. So as she cried, there was a great noise, even as that of thunder, and the fire that was about her son sank into the earth whence it had come. And as she marveled thereat, behold, Isis stood before her, and Isis spake unto her, telling truly who she was.

"But know, O queen," said she, "that thy voice, breaking the solemn silence of the hour, has destroyed the enchantment with which I was minded to grace thy son. So that, although thou wilt find him as before, the strength of the unfinished charm is destroyed and he stands but a mortal, nor can he again submit to the ordeal of the fire. But though my charm, which was for good, has failed, I will yet ask thee for that which I desire. Even that which is within the pillar which is before thee. For, by the mysterious ways of Ra, I have been led here to know that within is the body of the Osiris, even that which I seek, and that which I would carry with me into Egypt."

So she spake to the queen and to the king, and their hearts were softened toward her. And they cut within the pillar and found therein the chest of which Isis had told them. Whereupon Isis drew unto her Nephthys, her sister, and Anubis, and they with the chest left the city of Byblus that they might return into Egypt.

So did they travel many days, until they drew near their own city, even that where was the palace of Isis wherein she had dwelt. Wherefore did they conceal the chest wherein was the Osiris, that they might return for it when they had passed within the city and had observed all matters therein. So when they had done this, they came to the gates of the city and passed within, and the people gave a glad cry of welcome for that the queen had returned.

Then entered they the palace, and found all things even as was right, for the counsellors had governed well. So that Isis ascended the throne of Egypt and sat alone thereon, whilst all the people cried welcome to her.

Now, during all the days wherein the Divine Mother wandered, the evil Set had remained quiet and had done no mischief. For into his heart had crept a tinge of sorrow for the works which he had done, and therefore was he content to wait and do no more evil until he had seen all that came of that which he had done. Also did he fear the people of Egypt, for although he was admired and sought by many, the greater number of people at that time turned their faces from him.

And it chanced that soon after the return of Isis, Set went abroad upon a night to hunt swine. And there came a large beast before him, and the beast fled so that he followed it in chase. So as he ran it happened that he passed through a clump of bushes, even those wherein was hidden the chest of the Osiris. And Set observed the chest and knew that which it was. Whereupon there came into his heart bitter and angry thoughts, so that he became in a great rage. And he opened the chest and took therefrom the body of the Osiris. So that, as he raged, he ran about the land, tearing the body to pieces as he ran, and scattering the pieces to the winds. And, in all, the number of the pieces was fourteen. And when he had completed this fearful act, he crept silently into the palace, and sought his chamber.

Now upon the following morning went Isis forth from the palace to the place where she had hidden the Osiris. And when she arrived thereat, she saw that which had been done. So that she fell upon the ground and wailed aloud. When she had wept, took she counsel of her heart. For the heart of Isis was greater than the heart of a woman, being of a noble substance and a steadfast purpose. And when she had reasoned well, she returned to the palace, and sent messengers to Horus who was yet at Butos. And Horus came unto her, and he was a man—strong, able and good. Therefore did she set him upon the throne to care for Egypt, whilst she went forth yet again to find the body of her lord.

And she traveled much about the country, and found the members of the Osiris. So that, at each place where she came upon a piece, that did she place within a statue of wax, each statue being molded even as the Osiris. And these statues did she place in the temples near which each piece was found. And Isis charged the priests of the temples, saying:

Behold the body of the Osiris!

Watch over it and guard it well.

For it is sacred. For it is holy.

Implant it in a noble tomb,

And speak not of the wax that covers it.

I, even Isis, charge thee so."

And all this did Isis in order that the Osiris might not again fall into the hands of Set, reasoning well that, should Set search for the body, he would find himself confused at finding so many places where the body was claimed to be. And this happened even as she had reasoned, and Set became confused and dumfounded so that he sought to do no more damage to the Osiris.

But of the fourteen pieces into which the Osiris had been torn, could Isis find but thirteen. For that the phallus, falling into the waters, had been eaten by the lipidotus, phagrus, and oxyrhnchus fishes. And these fishes as ye know, people of Egypt, do ye eat not nor catch, and for the reason of this deed which they committed.

Now Isis accordingly fashioned a phallus which was of wax, and this she placed in the fourteenth statue. And of this statue was there made a special charge, for that it was more noble than any of the others which contained the flesh.

Thus was the disposition of the noble Osiris. And it was night whilst Osiris-Ra, deprived of his powers of life, shone not upon the earth, whilst the divine Isis, alone and unwarmed, wept for that which was gone—for sorrow at the darkness, for him who had passed from the horizon of Manu.

Homage to thee, Osiris-Ra, who risest amidst the hymns of praise to thee, and who settest in beauty and glory. Thou shinest as a great light as thou stridest over the heaven. Homage to thee! The forces of the north, of the south, of the east, and of the west praise thee, O thou who art of a divine substance. O grant thou unto me a path whereon I may pass in peace; for I am just and true, I have not spoken lies wittingly, nor have I done aught with deceit. And bear thou witness that all these things were, even as I, Harkases the scribe, have set them forth.

Now, then, did the evil Set go forth from the palace of Isis, for that he feared for himself, from her, because of that which he had done. Albeit she did not know of a certainty that he it was who had done that which had been done.

And then, behold, there came a light within the palace, even as the light of a new-born day. And this light was Osiris who had returned from Amenti that he might speak with his son, even Horus. And to Horus did Osiris relate all that had happened to him, and he counseled him as to all things which he should do. Great wisdom did Horus learn from his father Osiris. Then went Osiris unto Isis and revealed himself to her, and great was her joy over him. And Osiris abode in the palace for a space, so that ere he returned to Amenti, there was sown in Isis that seed which blossomed as Harpocrates.

Because of that which he now knew, did Horus gather unto him a great army, that he might war upon Set and do him damage. For Set had raised great revolt in the kingdom, and had become powerful in a measure. And with her son, went Isis to the battle, and she held in her hand the sistrum. So that the army of those who revolted was put to rout, and Set was vanquished and led captive to the palace of Isis.

Whereupon Horus, in the justice of his decree, opened the way to Isis, that she, even as one who had been wronged, might satisfy her vengeance upon the cruel Set. But when things came to pass that Set stood before Isis, that she might slay him, he pleaded with her most eloquently, so that her heart failed her against his blood, and would not permit her to do that which should be done. And in the pity of her heart she came privately to him where he lay in prison, and opened the doors to him that he might flee and his life be spared.

Alas for this one great weakness! And when Horus heard thereof, he came unto Isis and charged her heavily of that which she had done. And his heart grew cold towards her, so that he took the diadem from her brow, that it might be his. Then did he ascend the throne of Egypt to rule alone. And his rule was wise and good, for he was just and his wisdom was even as that of the gods.

And ofttimes fought he Set, but could never avail to conquer him utterly. An avenger was he, and smote he well the murderer of his father Osiris. Albeit his work was undone through the one weakness in the heart of Isis.

He fights for ye, Children of Egypt, even to this day as ye know. But to no man is it given to know how the battle will end.

The heart of the noble Thoth was touched with pity for the shame of the uncrowned Isis. And so, by command of Ra, he placed upon her brow the horns and disc as ornaments. And these she wears even to this day. For, withdrawing from earth, in a manner which man may not understand, she went where thou mayest see her in the even, an thou wilt turn thine eyes to Sirius, which same is the noble mother Isis.

And now is there no more that Harkases the scribe may write. The records of the past there are, that bear witness to the truth of that which I have written. And the light of Osiris-Ra there is, within thy heart, which will explain to you these things. So pray ye to those who have lived and suffered that the world might be the better therefore. For others shall there be, and much of sorrow, as it is given me to know. And while ye to Osiris direct prayers, that, through such mediation, they may pass to the Ever Living and True God of Gods, others shall pray to such as shall die, that the Divine Spirit may hear and observe their words.

Turn thy face to the sky, beyond which lieth that of which no man may know until his appointed time, and direct thy thoughts with reverence. And say a word for Harkases the scribe, that he may be. lightly judged by Osiris, in the dread halls of Amenti, and come forth by day, even as is most to be desired.

I have finished.

 remark. We will select a few instances, for the purpose of confirming it. The Lord frequently recognised the Apostles' imperfect apprehension of that which He had taught them. When He said unto them, "The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill Him; and after that He is killed, He shall rise again the third day;" it is mmediately added, "They understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask Him." Upon another occasion, when He treated of His passion more at large than He had previously done, we read that "they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken." Surely these are striking evidences that the disciples were not at this time fully enlightened upon some of the most conspicuous subjects of their Master's history and teachings. The reason was because they were not able to bear it.

But it may be observed, we ought not to expect from them a complete understanding of those things, until they were gifted with that Spirit which was to guide them into all truth. This is a very proper conclusion. The promise of this gift is generally considered to have been fulfilled upon the day of Pentecost; when, no doubt, a more enlightening influence was poured out upon them than that which they had previously experienced. Before this, the Lord had breathed on them, and said unto them, "Receive ye the Holy Spirit." But, notwithstanding those advantages, it is evident that they still continued in much obscurity upon many points of great spiritual interest; and it is important to remark that they do not state any principle or propound any doctrine that the Lord Jesus Christ had not Himself previously announced. They frequently


text:
Page:The Last Judgement and Second Coming of the Lord Illustrated.djvu/233

 repeat some of the general sentiments which He had delivered concerning His passion and some other subjects; but they do not present any explanations concerning them, to show that they understood them better then than at the time when it was said of them, "they understood none of these things." Moreover, we find some of the disciples disputing about the duty of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, and Peter was gifted with a vision as a means for terminating the strife. Paul, who was born out of due time, and who tells us that he was not a whit behind the very chiefest Apostles, declares that they saw through a glass darkly; that they knew but in part, and prophesied but in part, and that they looked forward to a period when that which was more perfect should come. About these facts there can be no reasonable dispute; and who can doubt that the more perfect period contemplated was that of the second coming of the Lord? But how did they understand that event? Let us turn our attention to this inquiry.

It is well known that the disciples commonly interpreted the Lord's teachings respecting the future glory of His kingdom as referring to a reinstatement of the Jewish monarchy in its former glory. Several instances of such interpretation are recorded. The application of James and John to obtain specific appointments in His kingdom, afford a very conspicuous instance; for the other ten were indignant at this attempt to forestall them in the dignities they were all expecting. But notwithstanding the explanation which the Lord gave upon the subject, we find that the old idea still adhered to them; for in the interview which they had with the Lord just previous to His ascension, and which

great unfairness practised by Roman controversialists, has been to adduce, in behalf of their own peculiarities, doctrines or customs of the Primitive Church, which, resembling them in appearance, are really of a different character. Thus because the early Fathers spoke of the Holy Communion in such reverent and glowing terms, as became those who understood its real nature and virtue, they have tried to make it appear that they believed in their own theory of Transubstantiation. Whereas they spoke of it as a commemorative sacrifice, they have thence taken occasion to make it a real and proper sacrifice. The doctrine of ecclesiastical penances, they have converted into the theory of satisfactions to Almighty God for sins committed. The existence of Apostolical Tradition, in the early Church, in behalf of the doctrines of the Trinity, Incarnation, and the like, has been made a pretence for introducing so called Apostolical Traditions concerning various unfounded opinions in faith and practice.

But in no instance is this fallacious procedure more strikingly seen than as regards their doctrine of Purgatory, which they defend by notions and usages in the early Church, quite foreign to the distressing tenet which we challenge them to prove. This is shown with great learning and ability by the celebrated Archbishop Ussher in his Controversy with a Jesuit. At a time like the present, when many persons are in doubt whether they are not driven to an alternative of either giving up the primitive Fathers or embracing Popery, it may be useful to reprint the chapter on this subject from Ussher's work in a separate form.

for the dead, as it is used in the Church of Rome, doth necessarily suppose Purgatory; and therefore whatsoever hath been alleged out of the Scriptures and Fathers against the one, doth stand in full force against the other: so that here we need not actum agere, and make a new work of overthrowing that which hath been sufficiently beaten down already. But on the other side, the admittal of Purgatory doth not necessarily infer Prayer for the dead: nay, if we shall suppose, with our adversaries, that Purgatory is the prison from whence none shall come out until they have paid the utmost farthing, their own paying, and not other men's praying, must be the thing they are to trust unto, if ever they look to be delivered out of that jail. Our Romanists indeed do commonly take it for granted, that

but in so doing they reckon without their host, and greatly mistake the matter. For howsoever they may deal with their own devices as they please, and link their prayers with their Purgatory as closely as they list; yet shall they never be able to shew, that the Commemoration and Prayers for the dead, used by the ancient Church, had any relation with their Purgatory; and therefore, whatsoever they were. Popish prayers we are sure they were not. I easily foresee, that the full opening of the judgment of the Fathers in this point will hardly stand with that brevity which I intended to use in treating of these questions; the particulars be so many, that necessarily do incur into the handling of this argument. But I suppose the reader will be content rather to dispense with me in that behalf, than be sent away unsatisfied in a matter wherein the adversary beareth himself confident beyond measure, that the whole stream of antiquity runneth clearly upon his side.

the truth, then, of things may the better appear, we are here prudently to distinguish the original institution of the Church from the private opinions of particular doctors, which waded further herein than the general intendment of the Church did give them warrant; and diligently to consider, that the memorials, oblations, and prayers made for the dead at the beginning, had reference to such as rested from their labours, and not unto any souls which were thought to be tormented in that Utopian purgatory, whereof there was no news stirring in those days. This may be gathered.

First, by the practice of the ancient Christians, laid down by the author of the Commentaries upon Job, which are wrongly ascribed unto Origen, in this manner:

Which kind of oblation for the saints, sounding somewhat harshly in the ears of the Latins, Leo Thuscus, in his translation, thought best to express it to their better liking, after this manner:

one of those beautiful vallies, through which the Thames (not yet polluted by the tide, the scouring of cities, or even the minor defilement of the sandy streams of Surrey,) rolls a clear flood through flowery meadows, under the shade of old beech woods, and the smooth mossy greensward of the chalk hills, (which pour into it their tributary rivulets, as pure and pellucid as the fountain of Bandusium, or the wells of Scamander, by which

Ebenezer Mac Crotchet, Esquire, was the London-born offspring of a worthy native of the "north countrie," who had walked up to London on a commercial adventure, with all his surplus capital, not very neatly tied up in a not very clean handkerchief, suspended over his shoulder from the end of a hooked stick, extracted from the first hedge on his pilgrimage; and who, after having worked himself a step or two up the ladder of life, had won the virgin heart of the

 only daughter of a highly respectable merchant of Duke's Place, with whom he inherited the honest fruits of a long series of ingenuous dealings.

Mr. Mac Crotchet had derived from his mother the instinct, and from his father the rational principle, of enriching himself at the expense of the rest of mankind, by all the recognised modes of accumulation on the windy side of the law. After passing many years in the alley, watching the turn of the market, and playing many games almost as desperate as that of the soldier of Lucullus, the fear of losing what he had so righteously gained, predominated over the sacred thirst of paper-money; his caution got the better of his instinct, or rather transferred it

Book v.] so denominated from the Hebrew language, for the serpent is called naas [in Hebrew]. Subsequently, however, they have styled themselves Gnostics, alleging that they alone have sounded the depths of knowledge. Now, from the system of these [speculators], many, detaching parts, have constructed a heresy which, though with several subdivisions, is essentially one, and they explain precisely the same [tenets]; though conveyed under the guise of different opinions, as the following discussion, according as it progresses, will prove.

These [Naasseni], then, according to the system advanced by them, magnify, [as the originating cause] of all things else, a man and a son of man. And this man is a hermaphrodite, and is denominated among them Adam; and hymns many and various are made to him. The hymns, however — to be brief — are couched among them in some such form as this: "From thee [comes] father, and through thee [comes] mother, two names immortal, progenitors of Æons, O denizen of heaven, thou illustrious man." But they divide him as Ger- yon into three parts. For, say they, of this man one part Is rational, another psychical, another earthly. And they suppose that the knowledge of him is the originating principle of the capacity for a knowledge of God, expressing themselves thus: "The originating principle of perfection is the knowledge of man, while the knowledge of God is absolute perfection."

1 The Hebrew word is (nachash).

2 . Bernaysius suggests for these words,. Schneidewin regards the emendation as an error, and Bunsen partly so. The latter would read,, i.e. "The Naasseni honour the Father of all existent things, the Logos, as man and the Son of Man."

4 Geryon (see note, chap, iii.) is afterwards mentioned as a synonyme with Jordan, i.e. "flowing from earth".

5 — a term often alluded to by St. John, and which gives its name "Gnosticism" to the various forms of the Ophitic heresy. The aphorism in the text is one that embodies a grand principle which lies at the root of all correct philosophy. In this and other instances it will be found that the system, however wild and incoherent in its theology, of the Naasseni and of some of the other Gnostic sects, was one which was constructed by a subtle analysis of thought, and by observation of nature.
