He finally mustered up courage and went
in. when the lights wen ont aud he heard
some one coming down the stairs. He

1t Is useless TO ask Mrs. Besant for prac-
tical tests of these beliefs and theories.
She is not on exhibitions. She asks for faith,
because her doctrine is high and pure and
has no miracles to show the increduous.
Size is not q spiritualist in the common
acceptance of that word she says.

there is no high ethical purpose in their

And now the interview was over. Six

little coterie of local theosophists entered
the ear to greet their prophecies.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward b. Rambo, DR.. and
Mrs. Allen Grifiths and DR.. and Mrs. A.

There were mutual greetings, and between
them Mrs. Besant had only time to repro
