definition and most decided distinction. The proof of DOCTRINE must be the universal assent of all mankind; while the highest point to which HISTORY can attain is merely the greatest degree of probability.-Certainty it never can attain!-The reason of this distinction becomes quite evident, when we reflect, as we have repeatedly shown, that principles which alone constitute DOCTRINE must reside in ETERNITY, consequently, be both necessary and universal. Facts, on the contrary, which constitute HISTORY, are evanescent things in TIME, which have a limited duration and are contingent. After this full and complete analysis of these two heterogeneous elements, it really must be a willing error to confound such opposite things as "DOCTRINE" and "HISTORY." Our Diagram not only confirms this distinction but actually renders it intuitive to the apprehension of children of a tender age. It might be objected that this very Diagram produces confusion instead of distinctness, because, in exemplifying the TRINITY which exists in nature, of blue, red, yellow, it introduces a fourth member-white. This, however, is its greatest merit; for a compound of the three primitive colours actually produces white. When a ray first proceeds from the great parent of light, the Sun, it surely must be deemed white. Yet, when the prism is applied to this Unity, it immediately separates it into three heterogeneous elements. So that in fact that which strikes the observer on a cursory view as a blemish is without doubt the consummate philosophy of the entire Diagram. The discovery of the philosophy of light is perhaps one of the happiest circumstances that ever occurred for displaying to the SENSE of man a material "Trinity in Unity." All this is effected by the motion of matter upon matter, and is only an approximation to purity. Mind, which is evinced by thought, then pursues this thread, and, by its syllogistic power, which originates in REASON, proves beyond belief — nay, even to absolute Conviction that a spiritual "Trinity in Unity" constitutes the very essence of the Author of Light. The immortal Newton has demonstrated that every ray or pencil of light that emanates from its visible author - - that refulgent orb which diffuses its light and heat to all nature, not only animating but generating light and life to all God's creatures-is perfectly colourless, and is conventionally expressed by the term white. This white ray of light is ever regarded as a simple, uncompounded thing. Yet this great Philosopher of light has dissected this apparent oneness, and convinced all the world that this singleness is a compound of the three primitive colours - blue, red, yellow. Is not, therefore, this sage "a light to enlighten the Gentiles!" since he has taught us so to read the book of nature as to discover the great truth—that in every single thing that presents itself we behold the emblem of its "Great First Cause "a TRINITY IN UNITY. We have feebly attempted to do justice to this great enlightener of mankind in our Diagram, by making that brilliant star of white issuing from "Jehovah " - the Creator not only of light but of all creation-with a view of representing the UNITY or oneness of the three primitive colours. Then, indeed, we have availed ourselves of the prismatic colours, as taught by the great "Philosopher of Light," to display these colours in their elemental simplicity. So that he who runs may read-and thus feel in his heart the very essence of what we are labouring to prove - nay, if the road we have marked out is followed, is most convincingly proved — that Every thing consists of a TRINITY IN UNITY. How, then, dare we omit the Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Eternal Being, who originates the principle because it constitutes his very essence. We need now no longer wonder that the "Sun"- that resplendent luminary—should be worshipped and adored by all the nations of the earth in the infancy of Science, more particularly as even the minutest ray of its blessed light contains the germ of that stupendous DOCTRINE revealed by Jesus Christ-a "TRINITY IN UNITY." Thus, then, through the medium of SENSE has religion been awakened in the mind, and ultimately confirmed by that distinguishing characteristic of humanity - REASON. To return, however, to the proofs of the authenticity of the existence of the "Man Christ."-We have often observed the delight shown by the antiquary and the historian on the discovery of some medal or ancient coin, in the hope that it may be made useful in settling some disputed point in Roman or Grecian history; and if successful in their researches their joy is complete. How, then, shall we hail the discovery of a Medal that shall place beyond dispute the existence of the Man Christa medal worn by his disciples during his ministry, in token of their holy office—that of propagating pure Morality and founding Christianity! This medal bears the effigy of the "Saviour" and enlightener of mankind, marked with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, N, which was employed as a numeral, to indicate the first year of Christ's Crucifixion. It has also an appropriate inscription. in Hebrew, referring to the labours of the Apostles. It is by the well known liberality and kindness of the Rev. Dr. Walsh, chaplain to our Turkish Ambassador, that we are enabled to gratify the reader with a facsimile of this truly important medal. This gentleman's acknowledged skill in the investigation of ancient coins adds great weight to the probability of the above statement. We shall therefore give his account of this valuable discovery in his own words. In the year 1812, a peasant, in the county of Cork, in Ireland, was digging potatoes, accompanied by his daughter, who picked them up as they were thrown above the ground. Among them she found, encrusted with clay, what she thought to be a large button, and, handing it to her father, he rubbed the edge on the sleeve of his coat, and in a short time it became bright, like gold. He now imagined he had gained a prize, and proceeded with it to his landlord, Mr. Corlett, a gentleman of Cork, of the Society of Friends. He further cleaned it, and found it to be an antique medal of singular structure and device. On one side was the head of our Saviour, and on the other a Hebrew inscription; both, however, considerably injured by time. As the place where the potatoes were planted had been the site of a very ancient monastery, coeval with the first introduction of Christianity into Ireland, but of which even the ruins had long since disappeared, it was imagined, with every probability, that this medal had been brought into Ireland by some of the religious community at a very early period, and as such was an |
