INTRODUCTIOX.
THE TRANSIT SCALE.
A VIEW OF THE PRIXCIPAL PLAXETARY CONJUNCTIONS, AND
REVOLUTIONS IN THE CELESTIAL WORLD AFFECTING THE DES-
TINIES OF ISRAEL.
Calculated by the Chaldsean Sat^os, or the conjunction of Solar
and Lunar Measures of Time.
As also from the Earth 's shifting Magnetic Centre as the Lode-
Star of Israel's Migrations, and its present position as deter-
mined by the Star Rcgulus and its relation to the Earth in the
great planetary Re-union of 1881.
The Interior Planets or those of particular interest and impor-
tance in all Historico-Chronological Calculations, as also in the
fuller ProphetiG or Metronomic Scale, may be correlated as fol-
lows : —
Transits of Mercury at intervals of 3, 7, 11, and 46 years.
Transits of Venus at intervals of 8, and 235 years.
Seven principal Transits of Mercury equal to one of A^enus.
Multiples of these according to a Method unused since the
building of the Great Pyramid, and too minute and comprehen-
sive for insertion here will in due time startle the Scientific
world with a Revelation of some things in regard to the Antiq-
uity of Civilization upon this planet which they as yet have
scarcely dreamed her to be in possession of! But to the end
that the Church and the World may be edified a little, even now,
l)efore the 8-fold chord of the Xew ^Eon of 1881 is struck, the
following "Hint" may be deemed as not without its value.
The JNIoon passes through the 12 Terrestrial Signs once every
month.
The Sun is posited in each of the Celestial Signs (or divisions
of the heavens) once every year.

there shall the Mercurial messenger be present with his aid, and

not to confound the New Church Episcopal with the so-called
Reformed Episcopal travesty, " or the deeds of the Nichol-sons,

measuring out the "curses of Ebal" I do justice to the expecta-

can, — and I am shod icith b7'ass!

Now Cain was the natural, Abel the spiritual son. Abel per-
sonated the higher moral and intellectual life of the race, as the
creator, originator, Cain was the imitator or fabricator who fol-
lowed in his footsteps. So that when the evil principle of the
superiority of matter over its essential life principle insinuated
itself into the heart of Cain it caused a separation or antagonism
between the creative and the imitative in the constitution of man,
in consequence of which the material rose above the spiritual, or
Cain rose and killed his brother.
Cain was the first-born, of coarser make, and j^hysically supe-
rior (by the help of a club) to his younger brother, as the spirit-
ual is ever more refined than the material. The desig-n of the All-
Wise Creator was by His breath infused through Abel to raise
and spiritualize the natural man, or Cain, but physical force tri-
umplied, the old and crude material refused to be so transmuted,
and transfigured, and the life of Abel was crushed. Did it leave
the human race then? no, for Seth was jjut in the place of Abel
as a factor of humanity more physically able to cope with the
line of Cain, while the line of Abel thus streno-thened bv this
bond of union with the intermediate race not only sustained a
physical status in the line of physical jirogress of that mediate
race but preserved the line of its sj)irifual genealogy unbroken
through sixty centuries of conflict with the incarnate powers of
darkness, or the inherent malignity of matter, and is now infin-

Era of Light thau iu any of the all but immeasurable cycles of
the Past.
Now we projiose to trace the course of these inharmonious fac-
tors or elements of the human race from their first separation in-
to antagonistic principles in the sons of the first representative hu-
man pair, and by genealogical and racial embodiment and devel-
opement all the way down the line of the ages until the present
time ; believing that herein is the solution of that gigantic prob-
lem of human existence and destiny, the misunderstanding of
which lies at the bottom of all our Kational difHcultics, as Avell
as of all the other nations of the 'world which are no^v in that
state of general fermentation that precedes all great political, to
say nothing of social and ecclesiastical revolutions.

external and material which remains unchanged and unchange-
able from the dimness of the remotest ages down throu2;h all the

Now if you will consider that Man, as man, existed on this

Now as we do not propose at present to write a New Genesis,
provided the Old can be 2)lausibly interpreted, we proceed at
once to a developement of the Hindian or Brahminic Ages, or
Cycles of Time, uj)on their later Jewish basis, as being of more
immediate interest, and resting upon historic data more accessible
to the general reader.
That the Jewish National Church, or Theocracy, was developed
from the older Hindian, and after its culminating, or centraliza-
tion, became the source from which the later Hindian renewed

theologians will have sagacity enough to discern, or when dis-
cerned, have honesty enough to admit. But until they do admit
it they might as well hang their harps upon the willows, and be
content with their Captivity in the meshes and superstitions of
Babylon, while the ransomed believers in the spiritually and
physically regenerate New Heavens and New Earth will heed
the Millennial Call to the Sabbcdh of Rest, and go up to Zion
with their harps strung to new songs from Lyra and the Pleia-
des on this the Fiftieth Jubilee (50 times 50 yrs.) from the Cap-
tivity, and from the Exodus the 66th Jubilee Return, and from
the translation of Enoch, with his hosts of redeemed Atlantides,
or Ancient Brahminic Spirits, the 99th., — counting backwards
from this the end of the Sixth, and beginning of the Seventh of
the World's millenary stages, or the grand re-commencement of
the Great Equinoxial Precession Year, or cycle of 25,000 com-
mon, or Solar years, the order and 7^ationale of which we are now
about to develope by the application of the Transit Scale.
Note. — In order to preserve as clearly as possible the orderly
and consecutive arrangement of the several subjects and chapters
of this work we cannot pause here for the purpose of conducting
the reader through the full developement and aj)plieation of the
TRANSIT SCALE, but in this, and all subsequent allusions
thereto, he will consider that reference is had to the Chapter, or
Chapters especially devoted to the elucidation of that subject;
leaving him in the majority of cases to make his own applications

expected in a series of "Hints," — but if at any time more is
given than a hint requires or the data seem to justify, let him
possess his soul in patience until the further unrolling of the
prophetic scroll justifies all the allusions of the Homograph, and

TiIE FALL WHLCLI TF.LS' A ELSE.
At the first beginning of this last of the Six Thousand Year
Cycles the line of separation between tlio descendants of Cain
and of Abel, or the natural and spiritual elements of tlie hu-
man race, was so slightly marked that they named their off-
spring by almost the same identical names from one generation
to another, until the time of Lamech, the father of Noah, who
had two Avivcs, in which the two races were again united in his
children, and Ham, the grandson of Lamech was made to bear
the curse inflicted upon Cain to purify him from the evil prin-
ciple Avhich in the family of Noah survived the Deluge, and
again became prevalent as an indirect consequence of the great
Solar heats which devastated all the East about the time that
the Pentateuch records the Fall of Man.

Ham, or "the Hot," then, prevailed as the grand-son of No-
ah, out of whom came Ximrod the Hunter, jNIizraim father of
the Egyptians; Phut and the Caphtorim, the Philistines and all
the host of the Canaauites, or Calnites, who held j)ossession of the
Land of Promise, not l)y right but by conquest and oppression
of the line of Al)el or Seth, who were as yet pilgrims and stran-
gers in Chaldea and Egypt until the time that they should have
strength to claim their own, and make a servant of servants the
Cain-itcs as was foretold by Noah to Canaan the unfortunately
aspiring son of Ham.
This brings us to the inevitable conclusion that God allows
the existence of Evil for a wise and beneficent purpose, and suf-
fers it to prevail within certain fixed and definite limits for the
fuller developement of the higher factors of human progress,
and when these have reached a self-sustaining status, the princi-
ple of evil recoils upon itself like its symbol the serpent, and is
its own destruction, while the spiritual nature of man released
from its coil goes on progressing toward perfection, never again
to return to the chrysalis from which it has been developed.
It is the Psyche of the Greeks, the "Butter-fly" freed from the
case in which it was matured, and hence the symbolical name
and character of Butter-fly the symbol of the Soul and emblem
of Immortality.
Thus Adam, the man of earth, was the case or chrysalis from
which Avas evolved Abel the spiritual factor of the Pace in its
upward developement; in which case or under whose care Abel
had been nurtured until he was able to cope with the world for
a physical and spiritual existence. But the strength of the Ad-
versary, who was the first-born and held supreme sway, crushed
the bud of his spiritual existence, so that he was destined to re-
main another 6,000 years before he should have sufficient strength
again to burst the chrysalis and manifest himself to the world a
glorified and transfigured spirit, the winged Mercury, messenger
of the gods, which all the powers of darkness could not chain,

CHRONOLOGICAL.
Xow if I choose to count time by commencing in the middle
and radiathig both Avays, or by commencing at both ends and
arriving in the middle, and thereby attain more satisfactory, and
in every way more reliable results than by the ordinary method
of selecting some point or other at random, and in spite of the
cries and remonstrance;i of the outraged historians and sages of
Antiquity, making that the "beginning of authentic history" I
do not see but that my system of computation in cycles is its
own justification, and in need of no apology for sweeping cdl other
inetlwds out of existence!
The fallacy of reckoning time in a straight line rather than in
the orderly developement of progressive cycles is particularly
fascinating to the partially educated historians of modern times,
Avho, even supposing that tliey had at times, and during more
kicid intervals of thought, dreamed of a better method, yet
crushed the waking fancy of an immortal truth, lest jier-
chance it might displease some crowned head or captious duke,
or to subserve their own jirivate aims at popularity and prefer-
ment at the expense of a reputation for veracity and sound judg-
ment, if not with contemporaries, at least to the more candid
mind of an enlightened posterity.
Shades of Usher, Lloyd, and Stillingfleet ! "What a Herculean
task ye have left for somebody to do in after times, if only to
reconcile your clashing and confused systems ! Being compilers
of incidents, names and dates, rather than historians, you failed
to recognize the philosophy of history, and thougli you have
thereby escaped the opposite fault of theorizing, and perhaps
the temptation of spinning jams for the distorted warp and

in the j^ersons of their AVestern-world descendants, let the "dry-
bones" of Israel's History shuffle together with the restored
notes of a lost harmony, and the now agitated plain of Arma-
geddon's spiritual conflict teem with the waking millions of Is-
rael's re-incarnate sons! And all those grand and noble pages of
their all but Celestial history be read in the shifting hosts of the
Stars of God, which from their Eastern vigils o'er Chaldaean
plains have come to rest sublimely in the Zenith of the Fore-
shadowed Land ! the Canaan of their hopes — the AVestern Land
of Promise!
Before entering upon the long periods of history as developed
by the Transit Scale, we will do what we can with the History
of the World as it at 25resent stands, or in other words endeavor
to synchronize the different systems of chronology as relating to
that history, which we have already termed in a previous chap-
ter as simply the latest of the world 's 6,000-year cycles or stages
of developement; and as that has also been termed in the same
connection an epitome or microcosm of all antecedent and subse-
quent cycles, so it must have a middle, or radiating point, and a
circumference, and we. in accordance with the proposition already
laid down at the opening of this chapter, will now select that

Chapter V.
HIS TO B OL 0 GICAL.
The History of the Lost Tribes of Israel is the AYorld's His-
tory in miniature. That proposition stated is that proposition
proved. But the question may arise, Who are " the Israelites,"
and what is meant by the Restoration?
Mistaken notions exist with regard to the people called Israel,
and the authenticity even of their Ancient history has not unfre-
quently been doubted.
There is a reason for this different from that "there is a rea-
son for all things under the Sun ! "
Israel has suffered both from her friends and her enemies.
That has been the fate of all great principles and divinely in-
spired springs of human action.
It might have been ordered otherwise, but it was not.
It might naturally have been supposed then that at some time
such a condition of things should cease to exist, and be replaced
by a better. This is what the Prophets came to tell us and now
they are vindicated.
The Propliets did not tell us all that they kncAV, nor are we
to presume that they have told us much that they did not know;
it is natural to suppose that they acted as other wise men would
have done in like case : did the best they could according to the
light that was given them.
"This is the Light that lighteneth all the World" except the
denizens of Theological Seminaries.
We might have more light from the Prophets if these latter
did not stand in the way.
They will not go in themselves, neither will they let others
enter in to the New Jerusalem, that City of "Many Mansions."
When you find men inclined to look upon the light and not see
HINTS P^ROM THE HOEXOGKAPH. 23
it, you may conclude that blindness is their normal condition ir.id
that any undue anxiety after their spiritual welfare on the part
of others might as well be postponed until the final judgment.
Let not this digression concerning Edoni divert your thought
from the line of Israel 's unfolding destiny.
Edom is not confined to Theological Seminaries, nor is Israel
all outside the Clerical profession.
Speakmg of the Prophets, if we had even as much light as
they we would have much clearer ideas of Inspiration than we
have at present.
And when w'e get more, light let us give them credit for what
they have done in helping us thereto.
But since we are to have the substance of which they had only
the shadow, let us feel doubly assured of the grounds of the
Faith, in that as "others (they) have labored so we have entered
into their labors."
WE are they because of their spirit which is in us. Hence
they enjoy the fruits of their own labors, and we are those fruits,
Man for man is the ancient Israel represented in the living souls
of this Age and generation: They were the beginning of a Cycle
of re-incarnation of which we are the End.
The seed had to be planted before it could grow, and after all
its days and seasons of developement is it the same, or "some
other kind of grain ! "
Paul asked that question once but the conclusion was so evi-
dent that he did not stop to answer it.
His conclusion however might have been clarified by the con-
tingent result of either an imj^roved or bebased product, but the
same species.
Nature 's organic forms and entities are Eternal but the types
or moulds thereof are constantly changing.
"That which has been is that which shall be, and there is no
new thing under the Sun."
A sensible History has a beginning, a middle, and an end.
A cause, an agent, and an effect.
A line, a point, and a circle.
21 HINTS FKO.M TIIK llORNOGRAPH.
A Nation lias a beginning a centralization, and a decline.
A death, a beginning, and a culmination.
A Star has its rising, its meridian, and its setting.
And will repeat that cycle till rolling ages cease to move !
Just so many nations ever have or ever can exist upon this
planet. They are jiarts of one organic whole and if these do not
return the Earth must needs mourn the loss of the human race.
If more should come she would not have room to contain
them.
If even the Eastern Nations should come West our Sun-set-
Land would not be able to contain them.
All things have their due proportion and of this we Iiave had
enough.
Turkey must stay where she is or be whipped.
And ere long must retreat to the high lands of Tartary or be
trodden to dust in the Valley of Jehoshaphat and be sunken iu

Chapter YI.
LOOK ON THESE STONES!
The Jews were a "peculiar people" and so were the Quakers
who founded Philadelphia.
THEY did not found it l)ut they prevented William Perm
from doing so. ^-
Philadelphia never was founded.
And if it was not founded then it is not a fit place to live in
until it is.
It will be a fit place to live in.
When it is so William Penn will return.
That game of "Fox-and-Goose" has been nearly played.
Look on any Map of the Heavens for illustration while I pro-
ceed to deal with earthly thinc^s.
The Goose looks as if it had been Penn-ed, 2-)aicned, or tre-
panned//A:e f 7; e Three Balls on the Penn " Coat-of-Arrns,^' but
what of the Fox !
The Goose is out of the Penn.
And had "Horns coming out of his hand."
Penn is no longer a Goose.
And will redeem that ixiicn !
"His horn has been exalted" at least above the measure of a
goose.
"Go tell that Fox" (George) that he will be but a mouthful
in the maw of the Unicorn!
That Herod must suffer for the Slaughter of the Innocents.
"My heart is inditing a good matter" And
With a quill of that plucking I will write the Fate of the
City.
Which is that the Son of Penn shall return to his patrimony,
(jr that his jDatrimony shall return to "him of the manor-born."
26 HINTS FROM THE HORNOGRAPH.
Restore hira Penn-Square and you may keep the Manor.
Otherwise "not one stone shall be left upon another that shall
not be thrown clown."
Unless the City should become riolier tliey are not likely even
to be built up !
The City is in moderate circumstances.
The "Market-Place" has been thrown down!
If you build it up it will be thrown down again.
It is too near the Temple precincts.
Some spires and steeples were also thrown down, or twisted in-
to their place, but that will not be noticed when we have a
Church.
That was a stiiF breeze when the " Sun-god " entered Scorpio
on the 23rd. of October and flourished his "knotted cord" in
that "Den of Thieves!"
Philadelphia will be more healthy.
That Avas a spiritual breeze, — fit precursor of the cleansing of
the Temple courts.
The Xew Jerusalem will descend as soon as there is a place
for it to 'light.
St. John the Divine promised Philadelphia a Church, — Rev.
3 : 7. And it would be a shame if she should be cheated out of
it.
We will do what we can to cheat her into it. '
Mercury was the "Lord of Thieves," otherwise he could not
have out-witted them.
Some one tried to be ]\Iercuiy and was crucified between tv>o
of his fellows.
He would have been crucified between "a dozen" but the
rest " forsook him and fled. "
The gods never die.
There is too much need of them to live.
Nor would their dying do you any good.
Your funeral expenses would not be any lighter.
Look on these stones!

And then look up the titk^-deecls of the Penn property.
The Quakers are some of them good and some of them bad,
in tliis respect they are like other people.
In some respects they are not like other people.
Then' god is a "shad-belly" and their delight is in the rim of
a hat.
Hat, Walk, and Conversation have a regard to that "cleanli-
ness which is next to godliness" and that is about as near as
they ever get to godliness.
And their front door-step is about as near as they ever get to
cleanliness.
EUahim Hicks did much to restore them to the wisdom of the
righteous Penn, but they would none of him and cast him out of
their synagogue.
Some few followed him and escaped from the falling timbers.
Philadelphia is becoming more healthy.
Death has become bond-holder to the possessors of ancient re-
moved landmarks, but the spirit of Fox still inhabits their chil-
dren.
But IS not yet a jit place to live in.
"Lord, how long?"
Till the streets are cleaned and its icalhing carcases buried.
" Hark from the tombs a doleful sound !
Like the Penn heirs they want what belongs to them and they
are bound to have it!
Fear not, O Zadok-cee! "for there is no Resurection."
The spirits of dead men live in us both to judge and to be
judged.
Here endeth the Iron Age and the breaking in pieces of the
"iron-and-clay" in the feet of Daniel's Vision of Empire.
The stone that was "cut out of the Mountain without hands"
has descended to become the Corner!
Which for the present is near the North-west Corner of Thir-
teenth and JVIarkct Streets.
Philadelphia is a fit place to live in.
And she is to have a Church, too ! at least it was so written
28 HINTS FROM THE HORNOGRAPH.
by John, Revelations 3. 7.
That "Church in Philadelphia" Avas a beautiful conception of
John 's and worthy of a great prophet !
His Astrological Foresight was unparalleled in the history of
human ken, except perhaps the Ancients who were the models
of his studies.
Newton and Kepler might have borrowed from him had not
his system been too vast for their comprehension..
They had about as much idea of his Celestial Discourses as
modern astronomers have of a Prophetic Church !
They reason to the end of their "knows" and pronounce the
rest unknowable.
Their noses are of the Celestial turn, but brief.
^Yhen will ye learn wisdom O ye Star-gazers, and J//crosco-
pists? and when will ye have sufficient reflection to get under-
standing!
Perhaps that question might also be refered to the unknoM-
able.
Philadelphia is lived hi.
And she has her Church.
That bud in the wilderness shall blossom as the rose!
The Lillie of the Wol-ley's has not yet got out of her d 'ab
d 'ess !
But she is as vain of her new-found glories as her High
Cock-o-Lorum Lord-of-the-Walk ! See Canticles, Book of
"And that glory she will not give to anotlier!" See Heart
Revelations in her private letters ichen yon find them.

is finished by the Lion of Judah carrying off his all-too-willing

have been heedless of that INIidnight Cry which was to herald
IIIXTS FROM THE IIORXOGRAPH. 29
the rising morn of the redemption of the world will l)e left an
oat-door standing comment on that no longer disputed reason
why Jack didn 't eat his supper !
Will the Lily of Israel now heed this, or is some mangy old
Churchman still pouring into her ears, or rather those of her
mother which ar& considerably larger and more receptive, his
serpentine venom that the Son of Light is out at the elbows,
that he can't pay his debts, or wouldn't if he could, that he is a
gay deceiver, that he is a Lion in a lamb 's skin, a Hercules in
the garb of Adonis, an Adventist, a INIillerite, a Ritualist, a
Royalist, a Revolutionist, a believer in immortality and the final
rectification of all things ; a Jew, an Ephraimite, a strenuous ad-
vocate of Apostolic Succession in the line of 'Aaron but still
more so as in the line of Salem's ancient Haran Kings, a belie-
ver that that which is is not that Avhich always shall be, and va-
rious other things which in the eyes of the Devil would hardly
be considered orthodox, and that consequently he is crazy and if
allowed to run loose will make every sensible person think and
act just as bad as himself!
A long story may be cut short when it has but one ending.
I want those "golden apples!"
Then LOOK ON THESE STONES! while I fling them at
the head of the Old Dragon in the Garden of the Hesperides !
Philadelphia is a fit place to die in.

The Graves of Greenwood are not so beautiful as the Laurel
Hill Mansions of the Dead. They have not yet risen, but here
their ghostly tenants walk about the streets.
They ask why AVilliam Penn was not buried among them
that they might have rested more quietly till the final call.
He gave them the ground and they feel under obligations U)
him for providing for their temporal rest.
And seeing that they cannot find an inscription to him in all
the winding mazes of the Schuylkill's white-flecked shores they
have decamped to a less miasmatic region and live in the Celes-
tial worlds around us.
30 HINTS FROM THE HORXOGRAPII,
They who have stones to their memories need no resurrection.
They are not obliged to walk the earth to keep alive the mem-
ory of their deeds.
LOOK ON THESE STONES!
And when the widow cries for bread will ye give them to —
her husband !
Is there any taste in a block of marble, or A\'ill it say to the
fatherless, Be fed and clothed !
Have you enough marble in Penn Square to finish that
mighty structure?
Or would it pay en masse the- City Debt !
Having furnished some poor men with work has it not done
all the good that may be exjjected of it, or is it to stand a per-
petual warning to the Nations !
In either case its destiny is fulfilled.
Then slip the halter of Judea's fate, and on the Lord's
ground build a temple to the Lord.
And be sure first that the spiritual temple is complete before
the natural is commenced.

Chapter VII.
CALL TO THE "3r ANY 31 A NS IONS.''
ISRAEL was composed of the Twelve Tribes of the Human
Race, and in close conjunction yet distinct from these were
twelve others, which might be called barbarous or inhuman.
One Tribe for every Constellation (Zodiacal) and then a
Double, or devil.
That "double" was their Shadow of Darkness to each, and
these also were Tribes and Nations.
To those Doubles or Devils the Constellated Twelve were the
Shadow of Light, and they hated them without a cause.
In an evil hour they drove them from their midst and were
themselves swallowed up in Darkness.
Pharaoh and his hosts never forgot that lesson but are trying
it again on the spiritual plane.
They would make you believe with Job^s Friends that they
are the j)eople and that wisdom will die with them.
They would make you believe that there is no key to the
Many Mansions, or that the writer of these Hints hasn't got it.
Either horn of the dilemma will answer their purpose of mys-
tification provided one or the other be accepted.
They would make you believe that Israel was one narrow-
minded, half-barbarous, one-idead "peculiar people," and not
the acme of human civilization as tlie twelve representative
tribes or nations of the Human Race.
They would make you believe that the stars do not shine, or
if they do, that they cannot possibly have any influence upon
man destiny.
8i HINTS PE(JM THE HORNOGRAPH.
They do not believe that 'one Star should diifer from another
Star in glory ' unless the difference should be in favor of tliem-
selves.
What have we to say that the sentence of death should not be
passed upon them !
Their Destiny has been made for them according to what they
chose for themselves in the beginning, and if it is not now just
what they would like to have it they have nobody to blame but
themselves.
If they go to their devil it will be but in ratification of a pre-
vious contract.
It is not the principles involved but the consequences that
they so much dread.
Many doubtless would not have so contracted had they not
like Faust intended to cheat the devil in the end.
He is not so short-sighted in that which pertains to the per-
petuity of his kingdom.
To blame God for what they have thus imposed upon them-
selves would be the h eighth of absurdity.
Nevertheless some of them will persist in being very absurd.
"Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments
from. Bozrah'' if it is not he whose coat of many colors had been
dyed a deeper red in tJie blood of a "kid of the goats" by his
crnel and perfidious brethren !
If Joseph had not been a better Brahmin than they Avere
Ckristna-vAn^ he would have cremated every mother's son of
them as soon as they had arrived i\ Egypt.
But they had not yet filled up the measure of their inicpiity
and that of their fathers.
Until they had so done the pleasure of treading the winepress
of the wrath of Almighty God would scarcely have been a suffi-
cient inducement for leaving even for a time the honors and
dignities of Pharaoh's Court.
He left them till the latter day that he might forgive them,
and that those who would not accept forgiveness at his hands
might be destroyed.
HINTS FROM THE HORNOGRAPH. ,33
Now these make-believes want to forgive Joseph and writf
him the sinner instead of themselves.
This was a natural consequence of their belief in the doctrine
of A^icarious Atonement.
Not even satisfied with the idea of of vicarious atonement they
would fain make him a vicarious sinner in their stead.
So, doubtless, reasoned they who thought to make Joseph to
die for their sins.
It is an ancient and much approved Doctrine for even Job 's
Friends had it.
And still, though the Book of Job is very ancient yet it is not
as old as they concerning whom it was written.
" Fill up then the immeasurable iniquity of your fathers."
"He that hath an ear to hear let him hear what tlie Spirit
saith unto the Churches."
XXATX ARTICLES TOO MANY!
The "Divine Gift" or the secret of the application of the
Hermetic Philosophy to the alleviation of suffering and the ele-
vation of Humanity, was never communicated by the "laying on
of hands;" but when disciples were sufficiently indoctrinated,
that seal of approhcdion was the world's guarantee of their
Apostleship.
Such gifts go forth from the Central 'OM or the Archi-Epis-
copate of Canterbury NEW, whose City within a city, as tlie
"wheel within a wheel" shall ere long manifest the wisdom of
the Divine Architect in the "lights and perfections" of Tlie

Would 'st thou hear the Music of the spheres when the morn-

heart and withdraw the Veil !
Would 'st thou know the Wisdom of the Egyptians, the se-
crets of Nirwana, and the Depths of the Magian Theosophy I
Approach, O thou who Canst, Lift the heart and withdraw the
Veil!
Look not for the Thunders of Sinai, nor the earthquakes in
the path of Jeshurun, nor yet for the sword of the Avrathful
Mahmoud ! for surely these things are of the Past, and unfit for
the ushering in of the Reign of Peace !
Nevertheless, "Give a portion to Seven and also to Eight for
thou knowest not what evil may be under the Sun."
Look not for the " end of the world " in the din and confu-
sion of Yesterday and the still more blank uncertainty of To-
day,— These are but the beginnings of time, and To-morrow but
"a consummation of the Age."
Leave the Wrecks of the Past in the dust of Egypt, Avhile we
ascend to the New Zion " City of our God " — Approach O thou
who Canst! Cover thy head, and withdraw the Veil !
Look at the worlds as they are evolved from Chaos, and roll
majestically towards their Central Sun, and say if it is not that
a new chord has been struck in the Harmony of the Universe,
that the " times and dividing of times " has expired, and that
the New Heavens and the New Earth have suddenly been re-
vealed to man !
— Six stages of Earth are passed, and behold the Seventh! —
"Let him that hath understanding count the number of the
times, for it is the number of a man, and his number is Six
hundred three score and Six."
Look at that Scale of the Shifting Worlds, and say if aught
but the SOUL of Nature is imperishable ! Forms are but the
clay of the potter, — Types alone are Eternal !
Then say it thus with the Nations, in Avhom the Breath of
the Deity has embodied the marching hosts of re-incarnate souls

BOOK II Babes ix Jesiiueun. J
"For here we have no abiding City but we seek one to come I"
Even Philadelphia is but the Goshen ("drawing near") of our
hopes, the " Beulah " of our wanderings ! the last camping-place
west of the Jordan, that rolling, heaving, twisting, recoiling and
threafcnhifj Gulf Stream which represents the slimy coil of the
Zodiacal Dragon from under whose trail the "sweet influences
of the Pleiades" and the tighicning Bands of Orion are drawing
the submerged remains of the ancient continent of Atlanta, the
England of to-rkii/, the long-lost Aryan-home of our pre-dilu-
vian Ancestry! Our Ancestors! and Avhere are they? Just
where they fell, — awaiting their re-entering into new and im-
perishable bodies that like Job they may stand m their jj/rtce at
the latter day "in their flesh to see God" and the redemption
of Israel !
Then let the quartered remains of Sir William AVallace come
together on Tower Hill from the four united Kingdoms of
Great Britain, and with the blast of the Urus-horn assemble the
multitudes of Israel for the "crowning of his son. Let another
Sir AVilliam (Penn) from the Burying-ground at Jordan's bring
his Tudor princess i///rt and say, Here is your "spirit-bride"
but of substantial flesh and blood, the onli/ kind of spirits by
the way that this New Age will admit of, or are calculated to
do credit to the Resurrection of the Body. Take her for she
has waited long, and bears a Virgin name. 'Tis well; I 11 take
her, /or J know ! It's Rachel, this time, isn't it? Leah is lov-
ing, too, but you know you "promised" Rachel! Shall not the
Lion and the Lamb "lie down together" and be so docile that
"a little child" may lead them! if it is not so then I must be
mistaken in my Millennial reckonings, the world's Horoscope
will have to be re-cast and the two Celestial Signs, Aries and
Leo, which the Little Gemini now proclaims to be in harmony,
must be left out of the calculations altogether. Well, leave
them out then, O ye dull of understanding ! and let this rocking
and reeling, and u-reching old world go edl to the bad, for if the
Millennium is not here NOW when seven . majestic planets roll

of his forefathers, and say that That which lias been is no longer
that Avliich shall be : for such Signs as the Heavens now unfold
have never been seen without such certain results aince the tvorld
assumed its present shape !
KNOW THEN! that
"OF HARAN ARE AVE!"
And WE — are as follows :
From AVilliam the Silent to the younger son of the first of
nine children — ten generations, five in the AVestphalian provin-
ces and five in Pennsylvania, bring a Golden Wedding in the
Mountains of Pennland on the veritable antipodal spot where
Jacob set up the stone of Penuel, and in that "vision of God''
climbed the ladder which connected Earth and PIcaven. Jacob
or Israel, son of Rebekah of Haran marries Leah and Rachel,
also of Haran, 1753 B. C, Jacob Gershon is born 1751 the fol-
toiving year, A. D. — twice fifty-two weeks of years or one hun-
dred and four generations afterwards, involving one great cycle
of time as to Jacob's Line.
Do you begin to get an inkling of a "Mystery" here, more
profound than Babylon, O World! Then take out your "ear-
cotton" and we will go on, and say, that from 'Arun, or Haran,
son of Surva or Osiris, founder of the kingdom of Asher, 1771
B. C. (marriage), to Napoleon Bonaparte in the foUoiving year,
1769 A. D., twice fifty-four generations, or one hundred and
eight in the line of the elementary principles, which brings ul;
the Horn of Ganesa, "son of Siva," king-dethroner and annihi-
lator of Papal bulls to say nothing of Dragons and other
Apocalyptic monsters !
Colkderal with this Line is the most ancient of all, the Chal-
dsean, Waldensian, Valentian, Gaulatian, Goliah-lan, Gaulonito,
or AYallace-line, beginning far beyond the records of his history
and culminating only in Scotland's champion broad-sword
swinger, or if you choose his lineal descendent of just fourteen

liam and Mary as dead which all his Jesuitical counsellors will
hardly be able to reason into him ! He's not a very bright
youth, he ain't ! But perhaps he Is hard of hearin' or heard of
Haran ! and the jiroposed Transit of Hermes !
Is "Ancestry" my "hobby" think you? Well then, I'll
ride it across the sea ! and when I wear my Ancestral Crown on
some bright Millennial morning I will begin to complete this
" Glljjin's ride " through the confusion of names and " tongues "
with which the Speech of the Earth Is infected to the corruption
of morals, of doctrines, of history, of genealogy, of race, of caste,
of blood, of ANCESTRY, and In consequence of ever}i^hing
that pertains to the W(!lfare and harmonious developement of
the Human Race !
HI! there! my Pegasus! (pegc^) Grk., or "Peggy" or Mare,

is but the Celestial jirototype and the personation of a principle
in Nature and Man which ceases not to act but with the end of
Time !
AY hat a M^onderful Language we have any^'ay ! exactly corres-

was developed, permeating like the liquid sether of Inspiration
through Nature's thousand-stringed and tuneful voice by which

their jDattern in the heavens, and no chord or syllable is lost to
all Eternity, but swells on in its fulness and grandeur as the
" Word " of God until the "fulness of times" vrhen Heaven,

If thou understandest not what thou readest then ask thy Neigh-

Congregation tell it to their neighbors, and thus the inquiring
mind be satisfied.

THIS way ! O thou Traveler over Life's dusty Road! This
is the AVay to the Eternal City ! and at one or the other of these
"Two-doors" must thou enter, if thou enter at all, into Isjael's
Rest! "Jachin" and "Boaz" those Pillars of the Ancient
Temple now support the Right and Left "wings" of the
"Church in Philadelphia" first and principal of all the Seven,
and flourishing now into a glorious immortality ! Gather here,
O Israel, at this the advent of thy Fiftieth Jubilee, fifty-times-
fifty years from the Captivity ! That is a long time to wait for
thy redemption from .spmYwa? bondage ! 6wi i7 has come at last!
Return ye now to a New Jerusalem, O ye Dispersed of Israel !
Are Judea's arid plains and sun-scorched hills a more inviting
prospect than the undulating vales of green Old England ! Has
not Palestine itself shifted westward with the Precession of the
Equinoxes, and the Star which guided the ]\Iagi two thousand
years ago to the secluded Nativity of the "Horn-Child" now
rests serenely in the Zenith of our Western World ! Be quiet
Wester-veldt, I am not ready yet to deal with the awful mystery
of thy incarceration: but one would think the l)lood of the Ross-
horn would not only "wash away" the guilt of the parents, and
all those concerned in the secret propagation of the Red-Line
Stuart Prctendership which by souie strange fiitality has had
seven heads cut off in as many hundred years since Baliol or i?c-
/ia^, foe of Bruce and Wallace, from being the King's scullion
was made a Chief Stuard of the realm of Scotland, but would
tlirow open the prison-doors of Moyamensing and set free the
unfortunate partner in a perfidious plot ! It is but fitting that
the Reign of Mystciy and the Scarlet Woman should close its
career of blood and Superstition and Sorcery by another Mys-
tery (?) of a Bethlehem Baby-Ion concocted full Jive years too
soon to mark the birth of the New Era in 1881, just as that
other grandest farce ever produced on this stage of action was en-
acted precisely the same length of time before the beginning of a
former Neio Era when John the Nazarene "began to be about
thirty years of age" and mighty works began to show forth them-

" The Kings of the Earth set themselves, and the Rulers take
counsel together — against the Lord, and against his Anointed ! "

tarchy when the Seven kingdoms of Salem 's Seventh Son were
united under the sceptre of the Ephraimite, that around that
standard of the Son of Joseph might gather for a thousand years
longer the Dispersed of Israel in anticij^ation of the " fulness of
times" when the prophetic Shiloh should break the bonds of
his long imprisonment in kingly genealogies and speak the
Word as one having authority and not as the Scribes!

Note, O World ! that in our voyaging through space we have
struck the Arc of Cephas and the boundaries of Taurus, or Ter-
ra (Earth) or the " House of Joseph " " from whence is the
Shepherd the New Mndte Stone of Israel." Gen. 49 : 24, Rev. 2 :

But here comes my Steurird Princess, the JE/ect Xandrina (Al-
exandrina) Scotia 's Russian Princess ! hidden near the later an-
cestral home of the Horn-child at Arnheim on the Rhine, and
without peradventure that only one for whose sake I will not de-
stroy the whole Stuard line, but all their crimes shall be remit-
ted to them for her sake and only at the cost of a pilgrimage to
her Canterbury Shrine ! Enough of the Stuart blood has been
shed in the oft-repeated but vain attempt to place the Pretender
upon the throne to wash away their oum sins, and that category
is as lono" as the I^ine itself and as varied as the multitudinous
family names that would still rally at the elevation of the stan-
dard of that heir-\ess Cause now mute forever in the inglorious
dust! The head of the "Chief-Baker" has again been lifted
from the shoulders of his son! and the "Chief-Butler" is again
restored to his Steward-ship of the King's household in the per-
son of his Elizabethan daughter,— aiicZ the divining-cup of Joseph
is as reliable as ever!
I'm through! O World! Never mind how I got hero, or if
curious consult Pythagoras on re-incarnatio7i, or Plato on the
New-Birth of the Soul, or John on the Resurrection of the
Body and the Advent of Babbi Ben Israel. HERE I AM ! "in
the clouds?" as the Babylonians are probably asking,- yes, in
the clouds! Oh ye Christianized Worldlings, unless you see me a
great deal more piiiin'y than I think you do ! What matters it

U HERMES ' HORNBOOK: FOR
whether I come down from Hell, or UP from Heaven! I've
been through BOTH ! " Out of Egypt have I called my /Sow,"'
that is, my inner or spiritual self. Joseph is kis own father, and
when you solve the Sphynx Riddle of how
I and my Father are my brother's Son,
Then will you know how we three are one!
Brother David, you're a "brick!" I believe that is what they
called Laban, according to the Bible Dictionaries at all events!
Then, since thou art my son! ("this day have I begotten thee")
("For if thou call'st me Lord, how then am I thy son?") then
will " I give thee England for thine inheritance, and the utter-
most parts of the Earth for thy possession ! " Am I not still
the younger son, from everlasting to everlasting the Immortal
Youth, without father or mother in the spiritual sense, and him
whose genealogy is not counted from Abraham, nor yet from
Adam, and of what avail to me are all the honors and titles of
this world which now as in the beginning I have only inade out
for the encouragement of my earth-born son or older brother,
whether as Cain, or King, or Esau, Earth, or David, still im-
proving at every new incarnation as the earth-man into a better
disposition towards thy younger or spiritual brother, who now
as the latest born and more enduring as Joseph the fruitful bough
becomes the Lord and Giver of Life to new scions and their pa-
rent stem! and as from him was to come forth "the Shepherd
the Stone of Israel " it is easy to be seen how I might still de-
prive Edoni of his birtli-right by a marriage with the tico Prin-
cesses, daughters of Laban or Haran, oifshoots of my ancient
elder-brother's line, and again become my brother's father, with
the three crowns of England all my own ! And Jacob will prob-
ably marry !
Are we verging on mysteries, O World ? Well then perhaps I
had better stop ! lest I may be misunderstood ! and take more
time and leisure as Kiiig of England to interpret tlie meaning of
those Six Books which I wrote while in Egypt, and only
stopped short because the world's Seventh Millenary, or the time
for tlie breaking of the Seventh Seed by the Seventh Son of Da-
vid who was the Seventh Son of Jesse, or Geshe, of Haran, had

not yet arrived, and the consequent difficulty of the Son of the
Sun 's explaining how as Harem of Geshe or the Horn of David
he came to be his own and elder-brother \ father was doubly en-
hanced !
But 1 was going to England with my three crowns! Shall I
go? Sir Thomas Carlyle, you have been awaiting me long, and
you are the only man in England fitted either by birth or edu-
cation to confer the Crown : Like Samuel of old prepare for the
anointing of my little David, first-boin because the last-born
and at present attending his pastoral flocks in the fertile mead-
ow lands of Western Virginia, all unconscious of the crown of
Charlemagne now a thousand years maturing for his brow, and
C'ar/-isle, the prophetic man, shall be his Lord-Keeper of the
Privy Seal! Never mind the ignoble "Nobility" of England,
their titles loont wash! and they are sadly in need of it! O that
the Gulf-Stream, that silent Minister of the Almighty Will,
would vicariously atone for England 's regicidal sins, and, from
creeping gently around her sinking shores, heed the Galactic^
Jordan-swell and give that old Atlautidsean Isle another gentle
" swash ! "
But, Brother! you have come to see me go! That's nobly
done, and like a noble brother! You wait the parting word,
the last Adieu ! The " Ail-aboard ! " has sounded from the Zion
Ship. I go! What! Thou David-hoYw, and named, and thus
resign a crown? Ay, worthy thou of son-ship now: "This day
have I begotten thee!"
My Son or brother David! was it not written: Ephraim shall
not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim? then is
that this day fulfilled. "King Orion's" Starry Realms should
be enough for me, — but what does Jacob say ! " The Sceptre
shall not depart from Judah nor a Law-Giver from betAveen his
feet, till AS/i/fo/i come!" Shiloh Aas come! but I'll improve on
Jacob and will not supplant my brother ! Earth 's sceptre 's Ju-
dah 's still ! Here ! Take it ! brother, for to rule is loeariness to
me ! But since the Gulf-Stream 's old-time Atlautidsean swell
now Eastward rolls we ' 11 just stay on this side of the water and

snspecting damsels donuciliated there! and with the purpose

that, "the varmint !'' until her "spirit-children" will still more

But since we have very little time to deal with the Paid Prys
of Society, and the work of "the Ephraimite" among the "small
fry" of Paul the "little," or JSaul (sheol) "hell" draws near its
close I would simply remark to those who may as yet be unac-
quainted with the origin and fatal significance of certain family-
nam.es, the family traits of those who perpetuate their name in
the w'orld by what they choose to term " spiritual-children " are
as ineradicable now in certain characters who continue to call
forth that cry from Heaven of the vilified and outraged Naza-
rene: "Paul! Fool! Why persecutest thou Me?
'Tis hard to kick against the pricks!"
Because you have no prong !
Then let Adonai alone, with his loves ! He knows your infir-
mity, and when you submit yourself to the great Soul-Physician
he will cure it and then at some future time it may find a body
more suitable through wdiieh to perform its functions. But do
not attempt to pass from the Gentile division of the Benjamite
family to the right-hand inheritance of that other branch,
whose name and deeds of course show them, wherever found, as
worthy their inheritance among the other members of the great
Family of Israel. There is the bar sinister and it is impassible,
and all the Jeshurun blood shed by Paul the Benjamite and his
great jirototype Saul the Benjamite, the persecutor of David,
cannot ivash out the guilt of those "left-handed slingers of Ben-
jamin" who to this d&y persecute because tliey cannot rule the
"children of light," nor use the "divining-cup" of Joseph the
Hebrew Avhich was found in "Benjamin's sack" without in

Then do not think to pass that left bar to the Kingdom of
Light and Honor without submitting like the original Paul to
be purged by lightning from moral and physical impurity as the
laws of regeneration require before you can even be considered

REFLECTIONS!
By Ecclesiastes, or The Preacher;
"XEW CHURCH episcopal."
I, the Shiloh-Man, was King of Israel in the Ancient City
of Phylae, before tliere was any King of the Jews at Jehus, and
instead of j^enning " wise sayings " or Proverbs that no sensible
person can understand, or that a Fool might understand without
being told, I set myself vigorously to w-ork to solve the mys-
tery of Human existence, and then afterwards to destroy the
mischief-makers of Society which undermine the peace and
prosperity of the New Salem, by a prolonged siege of " luinting-
and-trapping" that with the exception of the Labors of Hercu-
les, has perhaps been unparalleled in the History of Man !
And I said to my Heart, Behold I have already seen many
days in which there has been naught but vanity and vexation of
spirit: for thou seest that "but one thing happeneth to the wise
man and the fool " except that the days of the fool are pro-
longed to an unreasonable length, while the wise man is as often
"taken from the evil that is to be" much sooner than he cares
to be relieved from that gloomy prospect.
And my Heart said, Get wisdom and seek after understand-
ing, and that which thou now eonsiderest as a gross perversion of
justice will in the end be deemed by you to be the sublimest
"joke" ever perpetrated bv the Creator upon suffering Human-
And I did .so, and we explained it together in this way, that
the worst and the best of Life consisted in this,
" That the fools and wicked, with their master Satan, do con-
fidently hope that in the End of the conflict for the dominion of
the w^orld that they will be successful, and at the last to find
themselves overthrown with an everlastino- and inglorious de-
feat.
"While on the other hand, the wise and good of all times and
ages have been in constant dread of annihilation by the Powers
of Darkness, yet in reality have been victorious at every point,
and in the End have w^orsted the Devil beyond their most «an-
guinary expectations ."

65 HINTS FROM THE HORNOGRAPH
And I said, As this is so, and I have lived to see it! I will
say no more about '* vanity and vexation of spirit" unless for-
sooth it is to be made out that "there is no Hell" for these wolf-
ish Benjaraites and others to go to, and then will the Heart
of the "poor Ephraimite" Preacher be oppressed indeed! For
though Beecher, the Bachrite, another son of Benjamin may be
excused for declaring when he touched bottom that there was 710
hell there! yet the afterclap might have revealed even to one of
his experience that stolen lightning burns at last !
And I said to my Heart of this Great Preacher, or Son of
Solomon, that I did not think he ivas such a fool! For as the
" son of the right hand " I had built great expectations upon
him. But as the "son of" the right hand according to the sys-
tem of Hermes always goes to the left, so Beecher has been true
to his destiny as the Bacch-ite, the King's Chief-Butler, Cup-
bearer or Steward, and who has this one redeeming quality
above all the other Benjamites herein alluded to, that he does
his own thinking and does not live by filching other peoples'
brains !
Then, be a faithful steward of the mysteries which are shortly
to be revealed unto thee, but to which thou wast not born, or
you never would have cursed your little Ham-son (by calling
him a "Boston-mulatto" or something,) just because he was
white enough to expose the miscegenation practices in the tent of
Noah, which Shem and Jap. tried to cover with a blanket. I
appeal from Bacchus drunk to Bacchus sober: which was the
most worthy of your indiscriminate vituperation?
Then we will dispense with the drinking-cup, and with the
butler of course, lest the "spiritual manifestations" which it
produces among congregations sacramentally as well as in pri-
vate circles may beget another spawn of the Lernean Hydra
like that which so recently begrimed the waters of regeneration
that the Stuard Princess Xandro-meda could scarcely pass the
T. Benjamin "\Vat(ch)ford with her Perseus deliverer without
being besmirched with his maudlin — clash !
And moreover, I said to my heart, the Harp of Troy, or
Tara, has long been mute, since in the Halls of Terah, before
ON THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
Abraham was, we touched its chords of a thousand songs to the
yEolian strains of a far-off Celestial Harmony : can we not to-
gether from our mutual consciousness restore a few of these lost
notes of the world's forgotten melodies, and have them lisped
to the Transit Scale wherever the English Language is spoken,
while the walls of that Temple which was made without hands
again shall rise with the submerged Atlanta, and from this Sun-
set Land evolve the New-^yorld of Letters and of Sons: ! And
my Heart said, Yes ! your head is for thought, and your heart
is for song and now that Aries and Leo approach their final and
harmonious conjunction the key-note of the New Song of Mo-
ses (?) and the Lamb has been struck to-day (St. Valentine's)
for the first time since "the morning stars sang together and all
the Sons of God shouted for joy !" Yes, said L, and the " bones
of Joseph," with the buried Wisdom of Llermcs, shall be together
"carried up out of EgypV^ at this the 99th 33 year Transit of
Mercury since the Exodus, and the 70 years till 1879, and from
the elevation under Alexander 333 B. C. the 66th (Transit) and
from the first opening up of the Foreshadowed Land of Joseph 's
Dream by the Norse discoverers of this Western Land of Prom-
ise, the 33rd ! that last turn of the " wheel " of human destiny,
the loosening of the "silver cord" and the breaking of the "gol-
den bowl," when all life shall return to him who gave it, as one
Transit of Mercury as the Lord and Giver of Life just precisely
compasses one generation of men, and as one generation cometh
another goeth, and as Israel returns to her pre-diluvian habita-
tion the lips of the Preacher pronounce that watchword of the
New Era which was death for a Roman Citizen to utter:
" VALENTIA!"
