Excerpt from In the Beginning: A Book for the New Era

G. R. S. M. Savs: An accurate text of the Bible is a crying shame and necessity. I sup pose 'tis impossible to find the entire original text, unless it is hid away in the Vatican, or among some obscure tribe of people. In translating, the Bible has been modified, but the principles have mostly been preserved. By reading most of the translated traditions and manuscripts, I find that the genesis of all people agree with ours, when we set aside symbolism, allegory and superstition. The Old Testament is obliged to be a compilation of scraps of manuscripts and tradition Except by hieroglyphics and symbolism, 'twas the only method of keeping historical facts and religion.

Cosmogony, creation, science and religion, were all kept by symbolism; and the translations make a nice bungle of them, in some cases. When trans posed, we find a counterpart of our genesis in nearly all the traditions and old manuscripts of all people. Our genesis, and the genesis of all peo ples were derived from the same source, and the truth has been transmitted to us from Adam down.
