The Ninth Working
[Monday, Jan. 19, 1914 e.v.]

Die {u}   11:45 P.M. -- 12;30 A.M.
      A most admirable working, the best we have done for Juppiter. During
O.S.V.'s invocation of Amoun, his vibration of the Name Divine was echoed in
second by a voice audible to the ear. Now the fair omens dexter prosper ye the
work.
      During the _Quia Patris_ Fra. L.T. at the Altar of the East being
genuflected, beheld the colossal form of Juppiter our Father, _manubis plenis._
Yes, with gold were His hands full; parise unto our Father and our God.
      In the morning Fra. O.S.V. awoke early, having (as hath ony occurred to
him once before) dreamed a story which he remembered. He therefore spent the day
from 8 A.M. to 3 P.M. in writing down this stody which he called `The
Stratagem'. May it bring fame and fortune.*
