THE DEMAND FOR INTENSIVE RESEARCH

ro hie EDiroii Sir,—l would like to point out, in reply to Mr Kingston’s letter, that all the troubles we have suffered from are due to the Great War. The world set up those 41 causes ” and consequently must reap the 44 effects.” It may seoin paradoxical to add that 44 man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward, or that 44 these are they who have come out of great tribulation.” etc., which is only again saying the same thing, viz., that tribulation is the only thing that can mould us as we must be moulded. The difficulty of understanding things as we find them in this world hes in our failing to realise the truth in thforegoing, and that the world is divinely guided all the time, despite appearances. A carpet has two sides, and, where the greater number of tag ends are seen on one side, the more beautiful pattern we find on the other side. We have a distinct and helpful illustration of this in ‘‘The Scientific Revelation of the Great Pyramid, to which Mr Kingston draws attention. How few have taken, or will take, the trouble to study this, thereby missing the comfort and hope which might be theirs! We actually entered the King s Chamber” on September 1G last, and to make clear with what result it is necessary to say, first, that while the first low passage in the Pyramid symbolised war, the second low passage, measuring from May, 1928, to September 193 G, symbolised economic and internal distress. This distress was clearly made evident when our monetary system failed in May, 1928, and the British Cabinet sat all one Sunday. Likewise the great and important change was finalised again on September 26, 1936. Admittedly things were on the mend before this (as the Pyre-

mid indicated they would be), but the advance made since this date has been great. Ten days after we entered the “King’s Chamber” (September, 1936) England, America and France went off the gold standard and stabilised their currencies, since which date four or five other countries have done likewise. Recently a cable in your paper gave it as the opinion of a banker of high standing in London that this achievement was of momentous importance. Mr Elliot Bell, writing in the New York Times of October 4, remarked, “ Those lovers of gold and of themselves will try in vain, for the Age of Gold has passed away.” When one realises that the subject with which we are dealing is the “King’s Chamber,” what has one to say of the recent abdication of our King, followed by an Act preparing for a possible Regency? Those who are interested —how few they be!—can turn to chapter 21 of Ezekiel, verses 26-27, and they will at least be interested.

Mr Kingston can well afford to say that “ the British race is at a time when it is on the threshold of a constitutional crisis,” but he need have no fear for “ fear hath torment.” Faith is bettermuch better —faith in the Eternal Guiding Hand \!vhich governs, and rules, all things despite our many and stupid failures. —I am, etc., Jubilant.
