With the masses there is the habitual unrest, the feeling of uncertainty, the social upheaval, with the inevitable tendency to confusion and anarchy. A new religion is already in the formative stage, a new Avatar inevitable. It is to be less a repudiation than a revision and rehabilitation of the old religion. People everywhere are looking for the new revelation, for the coming of _Christos_, for the new Avatar, and few are aware that he is already here. It should be borne strictly in mind that in every instance in the past, the advent of the Avatar has been unattended by signs and wonders, has come upon the stage of human action in the most commonplace way, and that myth, miracle, and folklore have followed as time went on. To the people of his time Jesus was the "son of the carpenter," whose family was obscure. He came "eating with publicans and sinners." Jesus, the demigod of to-day, was unknown and undreamed of in Galilee. Philo Judaeus seems never to have heard of him. What and who Jesus was, and what he did, is separated from what the church and theologians have made of him by a gulf that seems almost impassable, and yet this gulf has already been bridged and passed. The new Avatar has for its mission the rehabilitation of Jesus as he actually existed, divested of all myth and miracle, while the mission for which he came, and the doctrines for which he lived and died are to be completely restored to mankind in their purity. The old Hindoos would call this transformation a "reincarnation of Vishnu," a "new Avatar." It will mean Jesus the divine Man, the master, _Christos_, restored to the heart of Humanity from the mysticism and miracle of monks and theologies, from the superstitions and folklore of the multitude. This means a reconstruction and a restatement of the religion of Jesus. Jesus remaining what he actually was and is, it will be the province of Natural Science to explain and to demonstrate by natural and spiritual law, how, without mystery or miracle, Jesus became the Master _Christos_ and so remains to-day. Natural Science is not the invention of man, more than is the law of gravitation, the law of equilibrium, or the binomial theorem. Man may discover these laws from the phenomena of Nature, and demonstrate their existence and mode of operation like any others. It is a question of dispassionate and intelligent apprehension and demonstration. All actual progress of man up to the present time lies along these lines. Beyond this all is conjecture and guess-work. Natural Science, however, is far more than modern physical science so-called. It includes physical, mental, moral, and spiritual science. Its _methods_ everywhere and at all times are the same.
