ATTITUDE TO ALL EELIGIONS 49

God of the generations yet to come. He is the
creator of every animal under his names of Ram of
the sheep, god of the goats. Bull of the cows . . -
he is the god of those who rest in their graves.
Amon is an image, Atmu is an image, Ohepera is an
image, Ra is an image ; he alone maketh himself in
millions of ways. He is a great architect who was
from the beginning, who fashioned his body with
his own hands, in all forms according to his
will.

Such is the splendid sacred vestment which
Egyptian theology wove for the mangled and mas-
sacred hero of the myth. All forces, all powers,
were finally recognised in him; he was sun and
moon, and the maker of all things; he was the
truth and the life ; in him all men were justified.

And David said, Blessed be thou. Lord G-od of
Israel our father, for ever and ever. Thine, 0 Lord,
is the greatness, and the power and the glory, and
the victory and the majesty ; for all that is in the
heaven and in the earth is thine ; thine is the
kingdom, 0 Lord, and thou art exalted as head
above all. Both riches and honour come of thee,
and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is
power and might; and in thine hand it is to make
great, and to give strength unto all.

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit; or whither
shall I go from thy presence ? If I climb up into
heaven, thou art there ; if I go down to hell, thou
art there also. If I take the wings of the morning,
and remain in the uttermost parts of the sea, even
there also shall thy hand lead me: and thy right
hand shall hold me.
