The pamphlet concludes with the following quaint and yet philosophic
lines, with which our notice of it may also fittingly close:

"Here is the Righteous Law, Man wilt thou it maintain?
It may be, as hath still, in the World been slain.
Truth appears in Light, Falsehood rules in Power;
To see these things to be, is cause of grief each hour.
Knowledge, Why didst thou come, to wound and not to cure?
I sent not for thee, thou didst me inlure.
Where knowledge does increase, there sorrows multiply,
To see the great deceit which in the World doth lie.
Man saying one thing now, unsaying it anon,
Breaking all Engagements, when deeds for him are done.
O Power where art thou? thou must mend things amiss;
Come, change the heart of Man, and make him Truth to kiss:
O Death, where art thou? wilt thou not tidings send?
I fear thee not, thou art my loving friend.
Come take this body, and scatter it in the Four,
That I may dwell in One, and rest in peace once more."

"Our postulates are the primary perceptions of human reason, the
fundamental teachings of the Christian faith. We hold: That--This
world is the creation of God. The men brought into it for the brief
period of their earthly lives are the equal creatures of His
bounty, the equal subjects of His provident care.... Being the
equal creatures of the Creator, equally entitled under His
providence to live their lives and satisfy their needs, men are
equally entitled to the u
