the age of darkness, of the hiddenness of the Self, and gives tactile value to the Angel of God's Presence speaking to us and dealing with us, whenever a human being speaks to us or faces us. We appreciate that as there is but One Supreme Self in the universe, ever inviting each self to transcend itself by recognition of its own One Supreme Self, we are all brethren, because our neighbor's One Supreme Self is our Supreme Self also. This is the genesis of the injunction to love the neighbor as the Self. It is the "Brahma Self, One Self, thou that Self," of most ancient teaching.

Cornelius, a Centurion in the Roman Army, had lifted up his fearing vision Godward till the Angel of the High Supreme was tangibly present before him, conversing with him as man to man, lovely, masterful, wise. "At the Ninth hour of the day" it was, as we read, Acts tenth chapter.

"At the Ninth hour Jesus gave up the ghost." He dropped the sense of a body or mind differentiated from the Supreme Self. He sent forth his divine influence untrammelled by form, to be contagioned by all men world without end.

The Levitical law of Hebraism reads that man shall eat of the old fruits till the Ninth. That is, we must stand by what we are taught as gospel truth of appearances, till we know to speak by our untaught Self. Peter is trying in his Second Epistle, to tell us that we have a native word of prophecy, "whereunto (we) do well that (we) take heed . . . until the day dawn and the day star arise in (our) hearts." Day star is lodestar, magnetic centre, where the Original Knower in us waits our spoken I am That! and our neighbor waits our spoken Thou art That! and the very world waits our "I decree!"
