inner eye reveals its secrets, whether the Lofty One inhabiting Eternity, or the pyramids of Egypt, or the motives of our neighbours. There is but one law running along to the flowering of all steadfast visioning.

"The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him." "Fear" is singleness of eye. "In the fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom." "The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life." "There is no want to them that fear him." Fear, or singleness of eye toward any objective, is disclosure of its secrets, and experience of its working power.

"Pass the time of your sojourning here in fear," wrote Peter, after having wrought great miracles by obedience to the Mosaic law of fearing the glorious name of the Lord. Peter discovered with the prophet Micah, that there is great effect from singleness of eye toward names, as toward other objectives, and he chose the name of the Saviour of men to stand by. Micah got it as an unfailing law, that, "My name shall (cause to) see that which is." And Peter proved it by walking with the angels, and doing their works, after fearing the "only name given under heaven, whereby men must be saved." For as the angels do wondrously, so also did Peter wondrously always by the power of the Name he inbreathed.

The purpose of religion has always been to teach men to make the most of themselves. And at its acme of instruction it has taught that right thought and right conduct follow right view. To look steadfastly toward the Helper, and Healer, and Saviour abiding unseen but always within calling distance, has ever been its injunction: endure, "as seeing Him who is invisible."

The Gnostics of old endured seeing and calling toward Abraxas, an unseen giver of tangible blessings.
