this grand instrument of love that would vibrate throughout
humanity, until the weaker vibrations of discord woultl cease to

I once owned a book in which the author had put into musi~al

Beethoven wrote his Pastoral Symphony on one of the lltiles in
the suburbs of Vienna, wlu•re, on one side, he heard the diKtant
din of the city, on the other, the voices of natm·e.
If then, everything manifested in nature has its rate of vibration,
or voice, then the music of the spheres is not a poet's fancy.
Mozart said he never gave to the world what he heard. Wagner
said that t.he heavens opened and his overture to Loht>ngrin
can nnly give us the faintest conception of what be heard.
With higher intelligenees, then, and finer perceptions, we will
find the dominant chord of our nature; and then will follow the
perfect cadence into the tonic, or key-note, the at-one-ment with

When we comprehend fully the law of vibration in all of its
phases, we will have sounded the heights and depths of the
universe. Law is uni\'ersal, its obedience wisdom. Every
thing manifested ha.'l its rate of vibration, wh~ther it he physical,
mental, ~ychical, or spiritual. The slower vibration!l bt>long

and comprehending these different rates of vihrat.ion depends
wholly upon the state or condition of this instrument. Perfect

the waves of vibration will be disturbed or rate changed,
and the effect dilltor~ or inverted before reaching the center

The knowledge of univerRality of law and its abRnlute

of these different lenses. The same rate of vibration we
