active for US only as an invisible presence
and which is aptly called the light of con
seriousness.
This all-pervading energy of sefpercep-
ton transforms everything, whether or
ganic or inorganic, into conscious existence.
To this conception of universe of light
begot of the activity of an infinite con-
seriousness may be traced the explanation
of the word theosophy. 1t means, accur-
ately translated, 1.-The wisdom of the gods"
Every atom and molecule, every shape and
form of earthly life, is the representation
of a ray of this light OF life which, in them,
are personified. Sc that rays of conscious
ness become imprisoned in material bodies
which thus become potential gods. Theos-
ophy, therefore, when it tries to unravel
the mysteries of nature is brought more
and more into contact with these captive
essences ond explains ever more fully the
workings and the wisdom of 1.-THE gods''
Thomas Williams, Fellow Theosophical
society, Holly Lodge, England.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-02-01
TheOsophy.

1t is astonishing to note how few people
have clear notion as to the meaning of
the theosophical movement. Some look
upon Theosophy as new dispensation
with Madame Blavatsky as its pope and
prophecies. Others again seem to be pos
sessed by the idea that it is kind of hanky-
panky business for the propagation of in
sanity and the production of phenomena.
And vet as matter of fact this grant old
title covers a system OF philosophy more
profound than any now existing, and more
subtle than even the metaphysics of mod
ern German thought. But 1T is not alone
to its ideas that Theosophy owes it's pre-
eminence, for it is intensely practical,
being founded on an intimate knowledge of
nature. Modern science viewed through a
theosophic lens assumes a beauty and a
depth of meaning which no lover of knowl-
edge can afford to lose. But it is not with
science that Theosophy has principally to
do, but with life in all its varied forms of
manifestation. And it may with perfect
truth be called 1.-The SCIENCE of life ex-
planned by transcendental idealism which
latter term seems probably more vague and
poetlcal than is suited to the practical
tastes of our age, but it is due to the fact
that from study of the sublime teachings
OF wisdom religion, into which theosoph-
lcal writings claim to form themselves, we
emerge with clear perception of the exist
ence around US and in US of an ethereal
something similar to sunlight, but which is

THE SAD CASE OF THE READINGS

Alberta Rowe, the well known singer,
yesterday brought suit in the Third dis
trict court against NARROW D. Rowe for
divorce. In her complaint the plaintiff al
leges that she is twenty-five years of age
and has resided in this territory for more
than year last past; that she was mar
ried to the defendant at Denver in June.
1888; that during all the time since then
she has conducted herself towards the de-
PENDANT as dutiful and affectionate wife;
that for five years last past the de-
PENDANT has been habituated to strong
alcoholic drinks, and for more than
two years past has been guilty of habitual
drunkenness and has treated the plaintiff
with extreme cruelty so that it became
impossible to live with him longer and she
left him in June, 1890; that plaintiff is
a woman of high mental and moral attain
ments and is by profession a musician;
that in August last the defendant left the
territory and his whereabouts is now I'M
known to the plaintiff.
Judge Powers is the plaintiffs attorney.
