tion of this book. As I aforesaid
let us as members of the Ethiopian
race do away with bias and preju
dice feelings as we read these write

Second, what is the Piseean age?
Third, what is the Aquarian age
we are now in? Fourth, what is
meant by the Christ as the word
is used in this book? Fifth, what
relationship exists between Jesus
of Nazareth and the Christ? "The
two are distinguished.”
