Not till then will Society bepurified, wrongdoing punished, or Man start forwardalong that road which shall lead to Perfection.

PREFACE.

“Thus we were told in words Divine
That there were truths men could not bear
E’en from the lips of Christ to hear.
These have now slowly been unfurled,

Truths which the school-men fail to reach,
Which priestly doctrine still would hide,
And worldly votaries deride,
And statesmen fain would set aside.”
