A Lecture by MIR. Charles ID. Poste

Lecture by MIR. Charles u. Posten.
A brilliant company Of ladies' and gentlemen met
IN parlors of the Travellers Club last evening,
and listened with pleasure to lecture on ''The
Parsees,n by Mr.. Charles d. Posten, exdelegate to
Congress from Arizona, who has lately returned
from his extensive oriental tour. Mr.. Poster began
by making his audience witness, imagine that they
Witnessed the alteration paid to the sun by congre
cation Of the followers Of Zoroaster the teacher OF the
religion OF the Magi. He referred for proof Of the
great antiquity OF that religion to illusions to It's
believers by jeremiah and other sacred writer's oil
the Old Testament and by Matthew in the New
Testament, who shows that the Magi, or Wise Men
or the East the first to offer quits at the cradle
OF the saviour land to fail down and worship him
as the Christi The ZendsAvesta was described
as the sacred volume Of which Zoroaster Is the re-
puted author, and in which the religious doctrines
the Magi are revealed, 1t Is claimed according to
divine inspiration Zoroaser is represented as not
having presumed to say that the Creator OF the uni
verse condescended to appear before HIM, but that
he learned His VIII from the choir OF archangels
VINO sung 10 MS mental ears when, IN a state OF
ecsacy, his mind was raised to neaven.n Among
the doctrines OF the ancient Parsees was the fmmor
tally OF the soul and the resurrection OF the body In
connection with the doctrines and religious ceremo-
nes or the Parsees tine lecturer, who claimed that
Preemasonry, with its customs, ceremonies, HERO
giyphics and chronology, was an ofshoot from the
religion OF the Mag, gave q rapid review OF the
seven great religions and contended that Zoroaster
had been more faithfully followed by his disciples
than OF the founders OF the other religions, not
excepting Christ, Confucius or Mohammed. The lee
turer also briefly sketched the history OF the Parsees
including the destruction Of the Persian empire by
the Mohammedan conquest This account or tue cere-
monies at the birth, marriage and death OF the
ParseeS. and OF the hauils of their every day
life was extremely novel and interesting. They
are the only people VINO never smoke. Had Mrs.
Tfollope visited them she would have found that,
unlike the Americans, the Parsees never spit. Not
only do they reverence fire, but they sing verse
warm praises OF wine, women and Movers Mr.
Poster concluded by reading several translated
passages OF their poetry, relating TO the loves OF
Joseph and Potpher's wife, the lovely Luiieka, ana
the Valley OF Sblraz, the paradise OF the world.
