---

I am no crusader for a queer cult or creed. My sole aim is to bring before my fellows some little stressed points of worth in the ancient culture of mysticism, and if I support that culture so largely, I do so with a clear recognition of the frailties and follies into which many of its followers have sadly fallen. This temperate attitude towards the old learning and this critical reserve towards its degenerate successors will make me little acceptable to the narrow-minded. But I do not care. Truth is my aim and truth takes a wider orbit than any group of people with their little ideas.
