THEOSOPHY IN OAKLAND.
Mrs. Annie Besant Lectures on the
Dangers of Society.

Mrs. S. A. Harris, president of the Oak
land Theosophical Society, introduced Mrs.
Besant to the large audience gathered in
Dietz Hall in Oakland last evening.
Her subject was THE Dangers which
Menace Society,""
It was not now the individual that
claimed his rights as in the days of Rosseau
and the social compact. Now it was rather
the nobler conception of the man pleading
for the good Of all.
In oil lite but that OF hum ankind there
was harmony with its environment, she
said. When we come to human society we
find instead Of harmony, discord.
And why is il? Why should the life
that has soul and intelligence be out of har-
mony when all other life is complete and
peaceful ia Its evolution?
1T IS because human society has neg
lected the lessons of universal brotherhood
to be found on every hand.
And our present society is not unlike the
civilizations that have gone before US in
this respect.
"Hindostan civilization had progressed
to the point where they realized that knowl-
edge and not wealth gave power.
Yet Indian civilization persisted. Why?
Because the selfish instinct in man got the
upper hand and the knowledge was used to
domineer The common people.
And every civilization ought to fail ard
will fail. when founded on selfish princi-
pie.
mo law Of nature can be broken. 1t may
be disregarded, disobeyed, but never broken,
The law remains and brushes those who
break it.
"rhe natural law is the brotherhood of
man.
Society, from the ancient day, has
changed its forms, but not its evil principle
OF getting more than II gives.
There have been the ehattel slave and the
seri slave. Now there is the wage slave.
I'VE have false Ideals. What is our con-
ceptiop of success?
wealth. commercial supremacy.
What contemplate ends are these for
thinking men. The successful man to-day
10 usually the man who lacks conscience.
Great nations are made by great ideals
great men by great thoughts"
The. religion OF Thensophy, Mrs. Besant
argued, offered the sure foundation for
social reform. 1t taught that the progress
must be not only material but intellectual.
John Bright has said that the working
people care as little for the principles Of
Christianity as the cultured people do for
the practice of Christianity.
This comes OF separating intellect from
religion. Theosophy combines the two"

that kind have been declined. There will
be no artist of note In the State unrepre-
sented by the best work he possesses.
Many have disdained or neglected to ex-
hlbit in former years, and last year there
was an open and general rebellion because
an auctioneer of paintings was given charge
OF the gallery.
This year fifty California artists will bs
represented, twenty-five of whom viii dis

Chicago. There will be over 500 paintings,
beside several hundred little water colors
