Few realize that even at the present stage of civilization in this
world, there are souls who, like the priests of the ancient
temples, walk the earth and watch and guard the sacred fires that
burn upon the altar of humanity. Purified ones they are, who have
renounced the life of this sphere in order to guard and protect the
Flame, that spiritual principle in man, now hidden beneath the
ruins of his fallen temple. As we think of the nations that are
past, of Greece and Rome and the grandeur that was Egypt's, we sigh
as we recall the story of their fall; and we watch the nations of
today, not knowing which will be the next to draw its shroud around
itself and join that great ghostly file of peoples that are dead.
But everywhere, even in the rise and fall of nations, we see
through the haze of materiality, justice; everywhere we see reward,
not of man but of the invincible One, the eternal Flame. A great
hand reaches out from the unseen and regulates the affairs of man.
It reaches out from that great spiritual Flame which nourishes all
created things, the never dying fire that burns on the sacred altar
of Cosmos - that great fire which is the spirit of God. If we turn
again to the races now dead, we shall, if we look, find the cause
of their destruction. The light had gone out. When the flame within
the body is withdrawn, the body is dead. When the light was taken
from the altar, the temple was no longer the dwelling place of a
living God. Degeneracy, lust, and passion, hates and fears, crept
into the souls of Greece and Rome, and Black Magic overshadowed
Egypt; the light upon the altar grew weaker and weaker. The priests
lost the Word, the name of the Flame. Little by little the Flame
flickered out, and as the last spark grew cold, a mighty nation
died, buried beneath the dead ashes of its own spiritual fire. But
the Flame did not die. Like spirit of which it is the essence, it
cannot die, because it is life, and life cannot cease to be.
