Excerpt from The Rod and the Staff
Church rejected and denounced, has continu ally existed as an active power both within it and without. Cicero wrote a book concerning contempt of death. As if they had borrowed his very phrase, Christian devotees, preciselylike myriads of devout men not aware that Chris tianity exists, have sought to acquire in them selves, as they have earnestly commended to others, contempt of the world; meaning by the World the whole aggregate of things bounded by space and time. Obviously this method of thinking rests on the tacit assumption, that the world is contemptible, that what in man per tains to the nature and order of the world de serves contempt; or, in other words, that there is in the world and in man, not only an intrinsic, but an essential evil. Now to fulfil the grand idea of monotheism, to carry out the principles embosomed in the Church which always repelled as a foreign element and a dogmatic heresy the notion of two independent powers, substantial and creative, we must come sooner or later to the distinct acknowledgment, that existence in all its normal developments is purely, wholly, only good; that, as God and his creations in clude whatever exists from eternity to eternity, so the whole must represent and correspond to his essential and infinite goodness.

Excerpt from The Rod and the Staff
Psalm XXIII.
The Lord is ray shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth ray soul;
He leadeth me in the right paths,
For his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me,
In the presence of mine enemies.
Thou anointest ray head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
