Rh until the race shall learn that "Love, indeed, lieth at the foundation," and whosoever infracts its laws must pay the dreadful penalty. I have spent the best years of my life in the endeavor to awaken mankind to a realizing sense of the real meaning, the words just quoted, and in ministering to those who had suffered from violations of that fundamental law; and I trust that when I am gone others will take up and carry on the good work. As will be seen in my work, "The New Mola," I desire to leave my system in good hands after my death, or at once, if need he; and I trust that through such, and other means, the great evil of love infraction and perversion may be put a stop to, measurably, if not altogether. So may it be. P. B. RANDOLPH. Toledo, Ohio, June, 1874.

Note.—The Provisional Grand Lodge of Eulis established in Tennessee, was dissolved by me—the creating, appointing and dissolving power—on June 13th, 1874. I intend to re-establish Eulis in organic form before I pass from earth, and as soon as the Brethren of over one year's standing, constituting the C. S. Grand Lodge, shall assist me in codifying its laws. The Supreme Grand Lodge is retransferred to these head-quarters of the Order, and Eulis has none other on the globe. P. B. RANDOLPH, Supreme Grand Master of Eulis: Pythianæ and Rosicrucia and Hierarch of the Triple Order.

I here tender my thanks to the Brothers Lumsden for aid in issuing this work—their purchase of part of the edition; and to Ernest A. Percival, Esq., who came to the rescue, and contributed toward completing it,—after others' promises, solemnly made, were ruthlessly broken ! And yet God reigns! and my book saw the light despite the blows aimed at me and it by the rule or ruin policy of—Never mind! The Book Survives and Thought Prevails.
