Phallic worship : an outline of the worship of the generative organs, as being, or as representing, the Divine Creator, with suggestions as to the influence of the phallic idea on religious creeds, ceremonies, customs and symbolism, past and present. f the H^ Y\ Fig. 139. iMi;.

The impregnation by which to manifest the Son is,therefoie, held as true on the spir-itual plane as a cause, and on thephysical plane as a result.
