Excerpt from The Mystery of the Ages I am sure that all who take up this attitude from Choice in their Biblical studies will enter more deeply into the mind Of God than would otherwise be possible. Without this spirit scholarship avails very little in the things of God, but with it the scholar becomes a bene factor to his fellow-men. I myself Claim but little calibre as a scholar, and there fore am very desirous that the interpretation Of the Scriptures in their literal purity should receive far more attention from great minds in the Church than has hitherto been the case. I am sure that the knock Of the childlike spirit3 at God's door Of revelation will be honoured by its immediate Opening and by marvellous disclosures.

Excerpt from The Mystery of the Ages Contained in the Secret Doctrine of All Religions When Hiero, the tyrant of Syracuse, once proposed to the philosopher Simonides the question: What is God? The latter desired a day to consider it. Being asked the same question the next day, he desired two days for that purpose, and thus from time to time doubled the number. Hiero, being greatly surprised at this, inquired the reason of his conduct. Because, said Simonides, the longer I consider the subject, the more obscure it seems to be.

Excerpt from Mystery of the Golden Cloth: The Story of the Christ; A Book of the Ages Upon the living-room table in my father's house had lain from my earliest recollections an ancient manuscript book, about which the most fascinating traditions had gathered. It was known as the Golden Cloth, or Cloth of Gold, and wrought into its fibers were interpreted certain promises that to its possessor some day would come a great reward.

Excerpt from The Mystery of Mary Stuart Mr. Carlyle not unjustly described wthe tragedy of Mary Stuart as but a personal incident in the true national History of Scotland. He asked for other and more essential things than these revelations of high life. Yet he himself wrote in great detail the story of the Diamond Necklace of Marie Antoinette. The diamonds of the French, the silver Casket of the Scottish Queen, with all that turned on them, are of real historical interest, for these trifles brought to the surface the characters and principles of men living in an age of religious revolution. Wells were sunk, as it were, deep into human personality, and the inner characteristics of the age leaped upwards into the light.

Excerpt from The Mystery of Life and Its Arts I suppose few people reach the middle or latter period of their age, without having, at some mo ment of change or disappointment, felt the truth of those bitter words, and been startled by the fading of the sunshine from the cloud of their life, into the sudden agony of the knowledge that the fabric of it was as fragile as a dream, and the endurance of it as transient as the dew. But it is not always that, even at such times as melancholy surprise, we can enter into any true perception that this human life shares, in the nature of it, not only the evanescence, but the mystery of the cloud; that its avenues are wreathed in darkness, and its forms and courses no less fantastic, than spectral and obscure; so that not only in the vanity which we cannot grasp, but in the shadow which we cannot pierce, it is true of this cloudy life of ours, that man walketh in a vain shadow, and dis quieteth himself in vain.

Excerpt from The Mystery of Francis Bacon Is therea mystery connected with the life of Francis Bacon? The average student of history or literature will unhesitatingly reply in the negative, perhaps quali lying his answer by adding - Unless it be a mystery that a man with such magnificent intellectual attainments could have fallen so low as to prove a faithless friend to a generous benefactor in the hour of his trial, and, upon being raised to one of the highest positions of honour and influence in the State, to become a corrupt public servant and a receiver of bribes to pervert justice. - It is one of the most remarkable circumstances to be found in the history of any country that a man admit tedly pre-eminent in his intellectual powers, spoken of by his contemporaries in the highest terms for his virtues and his goodness, should, in subsequent ages, be held up to obloquy and scorn and seldom be referred to except as an example of a corrupt judge, a standing warn ing to those who must take heed how they stand lest they fall. Truly the treatment which Francis Bacon has received confirms the truth of the aphorism, The evil that men do lives after them the good is oft interred with their bones.
