which is normally conceived of the duality to be the whole One will of nature. Nations which reject the duality at the ballot box reject the will of the one whole Law in the whole body of personal and national life. The law is under the Law. Nature sends forth two wills to enthrone one Law. To change the will of the people we change the law whose will dominates the people. We change the law and the law changes us. We change the dominant law by changing dual relations within. Man changes his will only when he changes his law. He changes his law only when he understands the difference between the dual relations of the primitive will of the law and the dual relations of the other One. His watch is to be set over all his life that "One for two I never did misread." Man yields up his body to the will of the law which he has enthroned within that body. Reform seeks not to elevate man; man is ever a fourth dimension for interpretation of Law. Law can be lifted up within him, using his body as its plane of expression. Reform will not seek to lift up man, but will in the might and power of wisdom lift the primitive law, that the will of this law may die in all the earth wherever enthroned by the eyes blind from birth, giving place to the will which is "my will," preparing an entrance into Jerusalem, from the cross after the crucifixion is ended, casting palms in the way upon this side and upon that.

As the primitive will of the primitive law has had for its plane of manifestation the bodies of

man and of their nations, so the will of the holy One asks that ye, understanding the voice Paul, now again present your bodies unto Him a willing sacrifice. The primitive law will establish only the dual relations within the bodies of nature. The physical will expresses first. This will has no I, and no power to enthrone by definition the will of the triune one within the bodies of nature. The primitive law will therefore externalize only the beast and the fool; but saith Life, at the limit of beastly expansion the fool will turn from out the wilderness into the king's court to be defined as the one upon whom the ascension rests. The fool will seek first the holy grail. Ever an "impractical sentimentalist," this one will bring down a body of life from a fourth dimension with a bow. By the will of the new law of his being the fool will lift up Kundry, to be lifted up, and having received the gift of healing will make heave offering of that gift, to set sail with Three upon the See, in a ship guided by an angel in the head, sailing straight to the west to a land unknown where, 'neath the Golded Tree of Life, the fool sainted receives the cup of life which, by the will of the One body of One Law, is the cup of regeneration, a testament of blood.

Is Man then lifted up? Man is then dead, and "I am lifted up." And the earth passes away and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.

Centuries after thou art laid in thy grave,
The shore thou foundest verifies thy dream."

Now raise thy view

Unto the visage most resembling Christ:
For in her splendor only shalt thou win
The power to look on him."

Poetry is that form of the word of revelation in which Law states directly its cold facts of fourth, or ether, dimension. Poetry states the whole pyramidal idea of the square scientific bottom fact. Poetry cannot exist without natural base. When it exists, pushing itself through the dark ages of understanding, this fact is our sign that here is the word of science in revelation of fourth dimension. The scientific basis of poetry alone gives it existence in nature's realm of art.

The same eye which has interpreted for us the constitution and the republic has interpreted for us the poems of the ages. The eye which has interpreted "We, the people," has interpreted the whole nature scheme of art. The interpretation has not been Truth. Every work of art which lives, lives to be interpreted by science. Art
