l. Resoired That in order the evils o. life

> RssOlr,d That darkness prevails where no light
has been introduced cold where heat has been Great
ed death where life has been given Ignorance where
men have had experience. and chaos where order
has been established by superior intelligence and
power-darkness GOODNESS death, ignorance and chaos
are seeXstant and hence all we call evil AS arising out
Of the absence Of good is negative state 20 be cured by
the creation of wisdom 20 organize society consistently
with and the necessities Of natural laws
g. Res0lred That cannot know the difference
between good and evil except they learn and words
only the signs of things having no real meaning 10
such have had no experience or perception of what
such arbitrary signs have been intended 20 convey all
learn the difference between good and evil by
personal experience sympathy observation Of the
effects OF bad actions others and hence IL vain To
hope for perfect unbrOSen state Of happiness until we
shall have learned all the evils 10 which we are subject
and how guard against them all andai best happiness
result only from constant vigilance and perfect com
pance with all natural laws.
g. Rsolced That society Is AZ present IN state Of chaos

D. Resoced That the mind OF man IL governed by mo-
tyes analogous the great laws OF attraction by which
the greatest motive but the nearest has most inhu

2. Res0rsd That the sriies Of selhshness will not be
