Trade and civilization is Jonathan's motto, While 'go-ahead' is the pass-word that has placed him where he is in power. Jonathan demolishes the aristocratic fantasy of dignity, and builds up the greatness of a people with the simplicity of trade.
"He sought for others the good he desired for himself; let him pass on" is the Egyptian phrasing of the Golden Rule, and this states it as clearly as it can be stated. Yet should any one take this truism as an unfailing formula and expect to enter the golden gate of eternal life because of obedience to the letter of the pass-word, he would fail. Altruism is; it is not mere recognition of a word.
"If such prove the case," said the master, "my religious orders are soon taken 'Pax vobiscum'. I trust I shall remember the pass-word. Noble Athelstane, farewell; and farewell, my poor boy, whose heart might make amends for a weaker head I will save you, or return and die with you.
World passed through from one section to another, studying carefully the secret processes in vogue, while illustrations, drawn by the artists of the Devil, instead of sending the blush of shame to his cheek, only fed his inner curiosity and verily aroused his baser passions. Having finished, he gave the pass-word and was admitted to a sub-department called Foeticide.
"Do not mention his name," said the widow, pressing his lips with her fingers. "I see you have his secret and his pass-word, and I'll be free wi' you. But, for God's sake, speak lound and low. In the name of Heaven, I trust ye seek him not to his hurt! Ye said ye were a sodger?" "I said truly; but one he has nothing to fear from. I commanded a party at Bothwell Bridge." "Indeed?" said the woman.
At last the lights were near, the outskirts were gained, the pass-word given to the watch, and the rough but welcome greeting was heard 'That's well! More of you come in! How got you off?

"Ha!" said the stranger, starting, and changing colour, in spite of his tawny disguise; "what say you of her? speak; and speak truly, for I shall soon know if thou art false, from her own lips." "Her lips will never contradict my words," returned the boy; "but go, take the pass-word, enter the fort, and see you will not find her there."
The true pronunciation was intrusted to the high priest; but lest the knowledge of it should be lost by his sudden death, it was also communicated to his assistant; it was known also, probably, to the kings of Israel. The Cabalists and Talmudists enveloped it in a host of superstitions. It was also used by the Essenes in their sacred rites, and by the Egyptians as a pass-word.

As they were leaving, the General hurried again to the sentry, saying, "Well, my man, you might just tell us now what the pass-word is."

But the tide runs out through the gates of sunset, And the living fires of Atlantis glow Between the clouds and the long sea-level, Beyond the waters we used to know.
