310 ROSICRUCIANCOSMO-CONCEPTION
and that he must “fear God,” or the Leader Who guided him.
Out of all who were chosen as “seed” for the new Race,
but few remained faithful. Most of them were rebellious and,
so far as they were concerned, entirely frustrated the purpose

then discern the trend of evolution. The fact then becomes
manifest that though in the stress of ordinary life our actions
