“His is a richly stocked mind, full of learning, where there is no room for narrow-minded prejudice. His noble endeavors to raise the British working-man to higher aspirations and ideals have made his title clear to ennoblement in the list of benefactors of humanity and won the respect of the greatest thinkers of our age.”


Gerald Massey contributed a number of articles and poems to the then newly-started Lucifer magazine. Among these, the one raising the question: “Are the Teachings ascribed to Jesus contradictory?” seems to have been one of the contributing reasons which prompted H. P. B. to write her epoch-making essay on “The Esoteric Character of the Gospels.” Most of G. Massey’s contributions to Lucifer may be found in Vol. I, October, November, 1887, and January, February, 1888.
The latter part of his life was devoted to the study of ancient Egyptian civilization, a subject which engrossed him completely as the years went by. The results of his many-sided, extremely painstaking, though somewhat diffused scholarship were published in three voluminous works: A Book of the Beginnings. London: Williams and Norgate, 1881. 2 vols. 4to. (reviewed apparently by H. P. B. herself, in The Theosophist, Vol. Ill, February, 1882, pp. 127-28); The Natural Genesis. London: Williams and Norgate, 1883. 2 vols. 4 to.; and Ancient Egypt the Light of the World. London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1907. 2 vols. 4to.
As far back as 1863, his resources were augmented, on Lord Palmerston’s recommendation, by a civil list pension of £70 to which were added another £30 by Lord Salisbury, in 1887. Massey lived at New Southgate, 1877-90, at Dulwich, 1890-93, and from 1893 at South Norwood.
Gerald Massey died October 29, 1907, at Redcot, So. Norwood Hill, and was buried in Old Southgate Cemetery. He had been married twice, his first wife having died in 1866. He had 7 daughters and 2 sons in all.
As a poet, his greatest recognition came from American readers, and he is believed to have been the original of George Eliot’s Felix Holt. His poetry is rugged, full of vigor, fertile imagination and lyrical melody. There is no doubt whatsoever that H. P. B. had a great respect for his ideas, his mystical interpretation of various Biblical sayings, and his dedication to the cause of freedom and the amelioration of the condition of the poor.

'''Montanus'''. Phrygian sectary and Bishop, of the middle of the 2nd century a.d. Nothing is known of him personally, except that he most likely was a heathen priest, native of Ardahan. {{Page aside|469}}Converted to Christianity about 156. Around 171. he proclaimed himself the Paraclete or Comforter promised by Jesus, and gathered a following that believed him to be the mouthpiece of the Holy Ghost. The same applied to his companions, Prisca, Priscilla and Maximilia, each of whom had left her husband to join Montanus. They claimed to be passive agents of the Holy Ghost and uttered prophecies. Montanus taught that every believer may be the means of a special revelation, enjoined strict asceticism and church discipline, and expected the approaching millennium. He was excommunicated, 175, and died soon after. His teaching spread far and wide, his most notable disciple being Tertullian. The sect soon died out in the West, but survived in the East until Justinian suppressed it.

'''Temple, Frederick'''. English divine, b. in Santa Maura, Ionian Islands, 1821, the son of a major; d. Dec. 23, 1902, in London. Educ. at Blundell’s School, Tiverton, and at Balliol College, Oxford; elected lecturer in mathematics and logic, 1842. Four years later he took orders and accepted the headship of Kneller Hall, a government college for training masters of penal schools. After the abandonment of this project, 1855, he was appointed chaplainin-ordinary to the Queen, 1856, and headmaster at Rugby, 1858, where he instituted many healthy reforms and brought the teaching to a high level. He emphasized the sense of duty and a religion rooted in loyalties of heart and conscience. His liberal views aroused much antagonism. Gladstone appointed him bishop of Exeter, 1869, which raised another storm, but he held the position until 1885, when he was transferred to London as bishop. He showed himself a friend of the working classes, but aroused opposition by his high standards of diligence, efficiency and strenuous work. In spite of growing blindness, he accepted the see of Canterbury, when 76 years of age. As Archbishop, he worked hard for unity and a more charitable attitude on the part of the {{Page aside|477}}Anglican Church, presiding over the decennial Lambeth Conference of 1897, and officiating, 1902, at the coronation of Edward VII.
