potential of man for perfection, a potential which is so fascinating and noble that all we can do is stand in awe of the miracle of creation.

on from one generation to the next by the initiated. The fact that so many of us today are

able to grasp and understand this treasury of knowledge may be due to recent evolutionary

advancement.
