| | Sun Worship is still, and we believe rightly so, the religion of Christendom and Jesus (the anglicized name of Iesa) is the Sun God. | | | This conception of the Ancient Priests of the Sun worship is still adhered to by the Roman Church and all Christendom without acknowledgement to the Adept Priests of the Irish Church of Iesa. | | | The Irish word "Ies," (Spirit), and "esse," (seed-fluid) in its highest aspect implies the Spirit of God in the Sun: and in its lower or human aspect it is the Divine spark, spirit or essence in man. Hence, Iesa Criost (Jesus Christ), the personal God or Savior of every human being. |

| | Not many Pacific-Coast tribes have as definite a conception of the Sun as this, and generally speaking the orb of day is of less importance in the myths of the northern than in those of the southern stocks of the North-West. | | | The place of sunrise, according to the Bella Coola, is guarded by the Bear of Heaven, a fierce warrior, inspirer of martial zeal in man; and the place of sunset is marked by an enormous pillar which supports the sky. | | | It is obvious that in these myths we have a special North-Western form of the legend of the Son of the Sun who climbs to the sky, associated with the cataclysm which so frequently separates the Age of Animals from that of Man. |
