"The highest product, man," she said, "is the result of the spirit working intelligently within. But man attains his highest and becomes perfect only through his own voluntary co-operation with the Spirit." Doctor Kingsford regarded Jesus as a spiritual Ideal and an Eternal Verity, and Religion as an ever-present actuality. We find her saying:
* On the night previous to this dream, Mrs Kingsford was awoke by a bright light, and beheld a hand holding out towards her a glass of foaming ale, the action being accompanied by the words, spoken with strong emphasis, " You must not drink this." It was not her usual beverage, but she occasionally yielded to pressure and took it when at home.
She was descended from an old Italian family, one of whom had been the architect of the Vatican, and, on her mother's side, from mingled German and Irish ancestry. She was the daughter of John Bonus, born in England in 1846, and she married, in 1867, Algernon Godfrey Kingsford, who subsequently took orders in the English Church. Three years later Mrs.
Kingsford says that Gilbert "met" Bertram in Syria, but the text of the Compendium says nothing of the locality of their meeting, which might have taken place almost anywhere in Europe, perhaps even at Salernum, a favorite resort of the invalided Crusaders in these times. Finally, Dr.
Her face was quite white, and she seemed to be lost in thought. "Haven't you got anything to say to me?" She started and reddened. "I'm afraid you've had a rotten time," she said. "I'm dreadfully sorry." She seemed about to go on, but she stopped, and again he waited. At length she seemed to force herself to speak. "I'm engaged to be married to Mr. Kingsford."
The next is that of the soul, and it is enlightened by the spiritual sun. And the highest is the immediate presence of God." Since the days of Jacob Behmen there have been no such remarkable series of mystic writings as are contained in the two volumes called "The Perfect Way" and "Clothed with the Sun," by Doctor Anna Kingsford.
Dr. Thus Eloy adopts the date 1272, Sprengel gives 1290, Haeser the same date, Hirsch says Gilbert lived towards the close of the thirteenth century, Baas adopts the figures 1290, etc. The most recent biographers of Gilbert, however, Mr. C.L. Kingsford , and the late Dr.
She shut the door behind her and stood outside for a couple of minutes. Philip wondered what they were talking about. "Who is Mr. Kingsford?" he asked cheerfully, when she returned. "Oh, he's the editor of one of Harmsworth's Magazines. He's been taking a good deal of my work lately." "I thought he was never going." "I'm glad you stayed. I wanted to have a talk with you."
This conclusion is further justified by the fact, generally accepted by all modern writers, that Gilbert was himself a pupil of Salernum. Singularly enough, both Dr. Payne and Mr. Kingsford profess to find in the Compendium some evidence that Gilbert sojourned in Syria for a certain period, though the circumstances of this sojourn are viewed differently by the two biographers. Dr.
He knocked at the door. "Come in," said the well-known, cheerful voice. It seemed to say come in to a new life of peace and happiness. When he entered Norah stepped forward to greet him. She shook hands with him as if they had parted the day before. A man stood up. "Mr. Carey Mr. Kingsford." Philip, bitterly disappointed at not finding her alone, sat down and took stock of the stranger.
