Clancy, in the House of Commons, read a telegram from the Archbishop of Dublin saying that the bishops would accept either the Dunraven scheme or that of the Robertson Commission. So matters were allowed to rest until, with the advent to power of the present Government, the lacuna, which owing to the recalcitrancy of Mr.
Then again how did the Lower Regions come into existence, for Epinoia to descend to them? This lacuna is filled by the fuller information of the Philosophumena which shows us the scheme of self-emanation out or down into matter by similitude, thus confining the problem of "evil" to space and time, and not raising it into an eternal principle.
"Does your whole happiness depend on cake?" asked Myra scornfully. "To a large extent it does. Archie," I called out, "there's no cake." Archie stopped patting the car and came over to us. "Good. Let's begin," he said; "I'm hungry." "You didn't hear. I said there WASN'T any cake on the contrary, there is an entire absence of it, a shortage, a vacuum, not to say a lacuna.

On November 16, 1900, General Lacuna ordered that any officer allowing his soldiers to load their rifles when not before the enemy should be liable to capital punishment, which in practice was frequently inflicted on soldiers for very minor offences. Men of means were drafted into the ranks and then excused from service on the payment of cash.
The natives furnished the masts for a galleon, according to the assertion of the Franciscans, and I heard the governor of the province where they were cut, which is Lacuna de Bay, say that to haul them seven leagues over very broken mountains 6,000 natives were engaged three months, without furnishing them food, which the wretched native had to seek for himself!"
