God bless you and keep you from harm, this day and forever.

In the beginning was the word, and it was 'bird'

All in the very morning hour

Our gentle Lord and Savior

Was fettered and arraigned before

the bailiff of Judea.

But heathen Pilate found no stain

In him or civil terror

Accordingly he sent him on to

Magistrate King Herod

Third hour, and the son of God

Was scourged by whips and bludgeoned.

And then those sinful people placed

A crown of thorns upon him.

Revile him, did those citizens

And beat him, did those soldiers.

The cross on which he was to die

was laid upon his shoulders.

Sixth hour, they stripped him of his robe

And on the cross they nailed him.

The Christ was bleeding freely now.

(And are the faithful wailing?)

His enemies made sport of him,

So did the true believers.

The sun itself retired then

To scorn their cruel behavior.

Ninth hour, Jesus Christ cried out

"My God I am forsaken!"

They gave him bile and vinegar

His mortal thirst to slaken.

Then Jesus Christ gave up the ghost

And all creation trembled;

The temple fell and from the hill

The rock of Ages tumbled.

And in the very vesper hour

The two thieves' bones were broken.

A spear was thrust in Jesus side,

And Jesus' side did open.

And blood and water did run out,

It flowed beyond all measure,

And all the folk from round about

did mock our lord and Savior.

>IT is with a sense of the seriousness of the issues involved that I set myself to the task of writing a book on psychicattack and the best methods of defence againstit. The undertaking is beset with pitfalls. It is hardly possible to givepractical information on the methods of psychic defence without at the same time giving practical information on themethods of psychic attack. It is not without reason that initiates have always guarded their secret science behind closeddoors. To disclose sufficient to be adequate without disclosing sufficient to be dangerous is my problem. But as somuch has already been made known concerning the esoteric teachings, and as the circle of students of the occult isbecoming rapidly wider every day, it may well be that the time has now come for plain speaking. The task is not of myseeking, but as it has come into my hands, I will do my best to discharge it honourably, making available theknowledge which has come to me in the course of many years' experience of the strange by-ways of the mind which the mystic shares with the lunatic. This knowledge has not been attained without cost, nor, I suspect, will the divulging of itbe altogether free from cost, either.
