We of the Fraternity have had the transits of the moon figured out for us each month, and we find the table so convenient that we are satisfied that many who are looking into "Solar Biology" and even astrology will find it useful. We have therefore decided to publish the table of the moon's transits each month. The first column of the table simply gives the sign of the moon and of the earth; the second column, the signs of the zodiac; the third, the day of the month; the fourth, the hour of the day, and the fifth, the minutes; meaning the hour and minutes of the day on which the change from one sign to the sign following takes place. In this case we give the time at Washington, and each person, no matter where he lives, can very readily calculate the difference in time between where he lives and Washington time, and to facilitate this, we give the following table. When it is noon at Washington, D. C. (sun time), it is the following time at the places named: Bangor, Me., 12.33 p. m. Concord, N. H., 12.22 p. m. Montpelier, Vt., 12.18 p. m. Boston, Mass., 12.26 p. m. New Haven, Conn., 12.17 p. m. New York City, 12.12 p. m. Philadelphia, Pa., 12.07 p. m. Richmond, Va., 11.58 a. m. Wheeling, W. Va., 11.46 a. m. Wilmington, N. C., 11.56 a. m. Columbia, S. C., 11.44 a. m. Atlanta, Ga., 11.31 a. m. Mobile, Ala., 11.16 a. m. Memphis, Tenn., 11.08 a. m. Vicksburg, Miss., 11.05 a. m. Little Rock, Ark., 10.59 a. m. Austin, Tex., 10.39 a. m. Louisville Ky., 11.25 a. m. Milwaukee, Wis., 11.16 a. m. Columbus, Ohio, 11.36 a. m. Glasgow, Scotland, 4.51 p. m. Indianapolis, Ind., 11.23 a. m. Brisbane, Queensland, 3.20 a. m. Chicago, Ill., 11.17 a. m. Bombay, India, 10 p. m. We have depended upon the map for the Longitude of the above places, and, in some instances, there may be an inaccuracy of a minute or two. Washington, D .C. Time of Cusp Transits. BIBLE REVIEW. Vol. III. DECEMBER 1904. No. 3. WOMAN'S QUERY. By Phebe Hart. We sometimes feel bewildered in traveling the road to the regenerate life, over which so few have traveled that a path sufficiently plain has not been left us. And we are at times confronted by a question which we feel must be answered ere we can go much farther. We say that those who have gone before us have not left us a plain path, but rather, we would say, that we are so dull, so short-sighted, that we are not able to follow the directions which they have left us, however plain and exact they may be. So far as we know no woman has, in this age, made any great attainment in the regenerate life. While we know that this statement will arouse antagonism in some quarters, yet we believe it to be true. We must not mistake beautiful ideals and dreams of purity and goodness, nor yet an extensive knowledge of occultism and of psychic law, for attainment. We understand the term attainment to mean, the realization in actual life, of an ideal. We mean the realization that we are consciously associating and communicating and intelligently working with those in the angel world for the accomplishment, the ultimation of the purpose for which we were created. In living this life of holiness, of regeneration, there is one thing which must be so impressed upon the mind that it cannot be forgotten, and that is the idea of cleanness, purity; and this purity must be of the body, as well as of the mind and heart; but, no matter how pure the heart and mind of woman, she is still held by the present mind currents of humanity in the generative processes, and it seems impossible for her to escape them and be clean. Nevertheless we read concerning this way of holiness in which we are trying to walk, that "the unclean shall not pass over (travel upon) it," and, when this thought is pressed home to the consciousness of the woman, the question arises in her mind: How shall I escape my uncleanness? Is there any way? The difficulty we face just here is in the fact that, so far as we know, no woman has, as yet, really overcome. We occasionally hear of a case but they are, to say the least, extremely rare; and, moreover, it matters not how rare or how common, the woman who has not yet overcome desires to know how she will be enabled to accomplish this result in herself. There is a saying which has been handed down from the distant past, it is, "As below, so above," in other words, that the material world is, in so far as it may be, a copy of the spiritual, that there is, to a very great extent, a correspondence between the processes of both worlds; save only, in that world we are given to understand that there is no generation, as the Master said, they "neither marry nor are given in marriage : for they are equal unto the angels." So, we reason, that in the angel world, and among those who become like the angels, there can be no manifestation of the generative processes, since it would be out of order; and this is emphatically true of the process under consideration. But the question arises: How shall we learn by the law of correspondence the way in which this difficulty is to be overcome? The thoughts we offer for consideration just here are these: The work of all female life consists in bringing forth. That bringing forth is the result of love between the husband and the wife, which means that all living, upon whatever plane of existence, to be complete, to express the purpose of its existence, is loving; hence, without a full, active love, life is but a mockery, empty and void. It matters not upon what level of living, from below the brute to man, and, we believe, from man to the highest intelligence, loving is living, and the fulness of love declares the fulness of living. Whoever heard anyone while rejoicing in the fulness of a requited love, asking the question, "Is life worth living?" That question finds no place there. Ask the brute, capering in joyous boisterousness, manifesting his love in his uncouth way: ask all the way up the chain of life to the man of Godlike mind, the woman of angelic soul, and all will answer that love sufficeth wholly; and makes life worth living. This we believe: That great Mind which has created all, and which lives in all, manifests itself to all and through all living as love, even as it was written centuries ago, "God is love." That love which flows between insect and insect, between beast and beast, between man and man, and, (may we not say?) between angel and angel, is the One Life. God is the life of all living, the life which animates all, which flows from one to another as love, for God is not only love but is all the love; all loving is a part of the one Great Love. The love of the animal for his mate, the love of the man for his wife, simple sex love, is of God, and is good on that plane of living; and may be accepted as good by all who want to live on the plane of generation; but it is not good for those who desire to rise above and live and love on a higher plane than that of generation. Hence, we make the statement, that every life to be complete must have an active love in its fulness. This must always be so; it makes no difference upon what plane of life. But mark this: we will ascend or descend to the plane of our love. Let us now consider to where our reasoning has led us: we |
