THE JAINA GAZETTE Archetypal Man, as Nous, is full of God, and reflects His image in the Cosmos. Since Nous is in Soul, and since all things are full of Soul, Man, as Soul and Nous, embraces the whole Cosmos.—but in this subjective sense only.

The Simple Way of Lao Tsze by the Editors of the Shrine of Wisdom. Price 3. This Manual gives a beautiful analysis of the Tao-Teh Canon, with comments. Lao Tsze was a great Chinese Teacher and was born in the year 604 B.C. His name means "old-young," and he has been called “The Old Philosopher." He was himself a symbol of that Mysterious Virtue and Supernal Simplicity belonging to the Servant of Tao, of which his writings speak. He was a Messenger of Peace, of Simplicity, of Humility; a Herald of the Inner Kingdom which is so inexplicably interwoven with the Outer Kingdom, but which passes not away. The Teaching of Lao Tsze, though so ancient, is still quite new, and even modern. In it are solutions to almost all the principal problems of the present day. The wonderful freshness of the ideas propounded by the Old Philosopher is a striking testimony that they are founded upon unchanging Truth ; for, although twenty-five centuries have elapsed since they first held the minds of men, they are still to-day regarded as a corpus of thoughts of the highest excellence and profoundest significance. When, at the end of his mission, Lao Tsze was on his way to the Western Haven, his disciple Yin Hsi urged him to leave some evidence of his teaching and the result was Tao-Teh Canon. The complete work contained 81 short chapters divided into two sections. In the present edition they are re-arranged under four headings of Tao (the Unmanifested one); Yang and Yin (existence and non-existence): Teh (the Manifested One): and Wu Wei (non-action and action). Every chapter of the book presents a sublime teaching in simple and beautiful words. In its original form it is
said to possess a peculiar and distinctive charm, a rhythm of its Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
