true use is to supplement and fortify imperfect intelligence, and misuse it to discredit and overthrow the original intuitions of intelligence. Random Notes. Type--Man. Prototype--Angel. Archetype--God. It is within himself that man should find the reason of all he studies. In the angels he should find the secret of his being: they are his prototypes. Lastly, it is in the Divine archetype that we are to look for the universal reason. * * * * * _The Senses._ Taste and smell say: It is _Good_. Sight and touch say: It is _Beautiful_. Hearing and speech say: It is _True_. * * * * * Every agreeable or disagreeable sight makes the body reaect backward. The degree of reaction should be in proportion to the degree of interest caused by the sight of the object presented to our sight. * * * * * The _soul_ is a triple virtue, which, by means of the powers that it governs, forms, develops and modifies the sum total of the constituent forces of the body. The _body_ is that combination of co-penetrating forces whose inherent powers govern all acts under the triple impulse of the constituent forces of the being. The _immanences_ are powers which, under the impulse of the constituent virtues of the being, govern and modify the co-penetrating forces of the body. The _powers_ govern the forces under the impulse of the virtues. The _virtues_ are the impulses under the sway of which the powers govern and direct the forces. * * * * * Light is the symbol of order, of peace, of virtue. * * * * * Science and art form two means of assimilation: The one by means of absorption, the other by means of emanation. The one, more generous than the other, gives and communicates; the other unceasingly receives and appeals. Science receives, art gives. By science man assimilates the world; by art he assimilates himself to the world. Assimilation is to science what incarnation is to art. If science perpetuates things in us, art perpetuates us in things and causes us to survive therein. If by science man makes himself preeminent in subjugating the things of this world, by art he renders them supernatural by impressing upon them the living characters of his being and of his soul. Art is an act by which life lives again i
