\nmight well have been entirely disastrous to its
\nexistence in<\/font> <\/font><\/b>the very
\nmonth when there broke out the greatest catastrophe that has overtaken the
\nmodern world, has yet, though carried on under serious difficulties, completed
\nits first year. We have been obliged unfortunately to discontinue the French
\nedition from February last as our director M. Paul Richard was then recalled to
\njoin his class of the Reserve Army in France. We have to thank the indulgence
\nof our French subscribers who have consented to receive the English edition in
\nits stead.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We have been obliged in our
\nfirst year for reasons we shall indicate in the preface to our August number to
\ndevote the review almost entirely to high philosophy and severe and difficult
\nthinking. But the object we had in view is now fulfilled and we recognise that
\nwe have no right to continue to subject our readers to the severe strain of
\nalmost 64 pages of such strenuous intellectual labour. We shall therefore in
\nthe next year devote a greater part of our space to articles on less profound
\nsubjects written in a more popular style. Needless to say, our matter will
\nalways fall within the definition of a philosophical Review and centre around
\nthe fundamental thought which the "Arya" represents. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nDivine, the Synthesis of Yoga<\/span> and the Secret of the
\nVeda; but we intend to replace the Selected Hymns by a translation of the Hymns
\nof the Atris<\/span> (the fifth Mandala<\/span>
\nof the Rig-veda<\/span>) so conceived as to make the sense of
\nthe Vedic chants at once and easily intelligible without the aid of a
\ncommentary to the general reader. The same circumstance which obliged us to
\ndiscontinue the French edition, will also prevent us from continuing the
\nWherefore of the Worlds. Happily, we have been able to bring it to a point
\nwhere the writer’s central idea appears, the new creation of our world by
\nredeeming Love, – a fitting point for the faith and reason of man to pause upon <\/span><\/p>\n

\nwhich knows best what to use and what to throw aside, no human work can come to
\nthe completion hoped for by our limited vision. To that Will we entrust the
\ncontinuance and the result of our labours<\/span> and we
\nconclude the first year of the "Arya" with the aspiration that the
\nsecond may see the speedy and fortunate issue of the great world-convulsion
\nwhich still pursues us and that by the Power which brings always the greatest
\npossible good out of apparent evil there may emerge from this disastrous but
\nlong-foreseen collapse of the old order a new and better marked by the triumph
\nof higher principles of love, wisdom and unity and a sensible advance of the
\nrace towards our ultimate goal, – the conscious oneness of the Soul in humanity
\nand the divinity of man. <\/span><\/p>\n
