of Canaan, which I have given unto the children of Israel, of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, everyone a ruler among them.

"And Moses by the commandment of the Lord, sent them from the wilderness of Paran -all these men were heads of the children of Israel.

66

'And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain.

“And see the land, what it is and the people that dwell therein-whether they be strong or weak-few or many.

"And what the land is where they dwell---whether it be good or bad, and what cities they be that they dwell in-whether in tents or in strong-holds.

"And what the land is-whether it be fat or lean; whether there be wood there, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land * * *

"And they returned after searching the land forty days.

66

'And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and shewed them the fruit of the land.

"And they told him and said: We came unto the land whether thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey.

"Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in that place and the cities are walled,

and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

"And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said: 'Let us go up and possess that land. for we are well able to overcome it.'

"But the men that went up with him said: 'We be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

"And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying: "The land through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof, and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.

"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which came of the giants-and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'

Joshua and Caleb tell the people in the next chapter of Numbers, that it is not as bad as it is represented that the danger is magnified, and that they need not fear the people who dwell there.

"But all the congregation bade them stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

"Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swear to make you dwell therein-save Caleb the son of Jehunneh and Joshua, the son of Nun. But your little ones, which ye said would be a prey, them will I

bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in the wilderness. And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years after the number of the days in which ye searched the land-even forty days, each day for a year, even forty years; and ye shall know my breach of promise.'

The Jewish people were forbidden to have any images. They dare not worship any form or object created on the earth or in the heavens. To clothe their language in cabalsitic words, they created the occult narrative as herein protrayed. The good people of the age referred to in this narrative and the people today believe with one accord that the occult land is peopled with giants. I do not mean that the giants are seen in the material sense. They are seen, however, and appear as real as persons living seen in the astral plane. In talking with people who dwell near the spiritual world, preachers of the orthodox churches, I find many have seen these giants, appearing a mile in height and universally in the same location.

I have met men well advanced in the ministry, preachers who would resent the imputation that they might be spiritualist, and with these preachers I have freely conversed as to these giants.

One good Baptist preacher-honest, earnest and true to the line of the Baptist doctrines— told me that he was well accquainted with this

form of the giant in the heavens, and he thought it was a demon awaiting the coming of the disobedient children who had forsaken God's word and gone wrong. As to description, I asked him how he found the giant compared with the account in Numbers. He said it tallied accurately, and the giant was seemingly a mile high; that the facial expression was not that of anger but to the contrary, quite pleasant in expression. There might be numbered a thousand people whom you could ask of this giant and from each get the same detailed description. Can you turn aside all this array of evidence?

There is not a rational being in the world who doubts the existence of the unseen-the occult world. And yet when it comes to defining what they really believe in detail, there is a wide difference in their beliefs. Speculation, deductions, fancies, theories are no better than the idle play of the fancy when it comes to a working basis in attaining this "Better Land."

Solomon's Temple is as clearly described in the Bible as is the land of Canaan. Canaan flowed with milk and honey, so it was stated. When the children of Israel crossed the river Jordan, they did not find a great quantity of honey, and milk was as scarce as honey. There is a wild bee that makes a hole in the hill and deposits some little honey there or may find. a place in the rocks where they make a home. and deposit some honey.

On the Lewis river, in the State of Washington, some bee hunters found one tree from which they took twenty-five gallons of the most perfect honey. There were many trees in the mountains that contained as much honey as did the one they cut. The valley of the Lewis river has never been reputed as being a land flowing with milk and honey. There is honey in the Lewis river valley; but one must hunt for it or they will not find it. Mark the bees with lint and follow them to their home, and the honey can be located easily.

A rancher living in the mountains of the same valley and some distance from a wagon road, carried his cream to market by fastening two ten-gallon cans of cream to a pack saddle on a pony. One pony thus carrying cream, gʊt away from his owner, ran down the mountain, and when the lid fell from the cans the cream was splashed high up on the trees and along the trail. The valley does not flow with milk, however, there is a plenty of milk and cream in the valley and I presume many times more milk than is, or ever was, in Palestine.

With all the beauties of Solomon's Temple, there is no well posted Mason who believes that the Temple ever was anything more than a symbol referring to some spiritual truth. No one knows where it stood; no archeologist can point to the location; not a fragment of the structure is known to exist-all its beauty is in its symbols.
