Karma and the Reincarnation,

AaA AAfA AhO IAt khc1HCdTuAt1Ons
 Miss Katherine Hillard of New York city delivered the eighth lecture of the theosophical course at Veru hall Sunday evening. The lecturer began with defin- ition of karma ss the law of cause and effect, showing that every atom in the uni verse is subject to its constant and un- erriDg control. It is the result of the causes man has himself set in motion in this or former lives, and consequently man Is himself responsible for the circumg tances , in which he is placed. It ia not, therefore, karna which rewards CT punishes, but We who reward or punish ourselves.
 In theosophioal teachings the term is used in two senses, as the law of cause and effect, and also as the sum of the effects produced by the causes have origin ated the harvest of the seed we have sown. And as the far reaching, the kArna of individual reacts not only on .imself but these around him, aitd thus the aggregate of individual kG rma be- comes the karma of he nation the sum total of national karma that of the world. We must be- We're, however, of tryi ing to estimate the karma of Q, ,hers or even our own, as only an omniscient eye could trace the wndingS of the int ricate web.
 The idea of relncarnatiOn, the return of the soul to other lives upon this earth, goes hand In Complex workings. One li here is far too short period for the compete development of soul, no" niany t1nu IL Ioo pIleL even TOT ihueHeciuai or artistic development. That which has end cannot have had a beginning, and the soul must be eternal if we are to think it imm !rtsl. The modern idea of ons life upon earth is at the bot tom or much of the disbelief in any life after wards. The idea of reincarnation has been set Iorth oy nearly all the greatest philosophers and poets ln ancient and modern imes, and is often alluded to in the Bible. It furnishes an adequate answer to The problems of one present existence, the inequality of social conditions and the short ness of human life.
 :, The lecturer went on to state the workings of these laws in detail and to explain the theosoph- ical Ideas Of lOst mortem conditions, the period the sleep that vi-its us between the days of act i've work. It is purely subjective existence, ourlng which the soul reaps the reward nf the good lr has done here, and from which it returns, rested and refreshed, to take up the burden of a new life, conditioned by the work it has done be- fore The fallacles of the spiritualistic theories were pointed out, aud the lecture concluded with an admon1tlon to do well in the present if we would have our future made more glorious.

E. church, died Sun day night at the residence of his son, John E. Searles, at 810 St. Marks avenue, Brooklyn. The cause of MT.

 Westchester county, in 1919, and studied for the ministry at the schools and col leges of New York. In 1S44 he was or dained and went to Meriden, where in 1s4s he organized the first Methodist Episcopal church there.

0MURMURING.o

An Interesting Discourse at Dwight
 Place Church-Nevv Church Enter
 prise to be Started-Social Events at
 tho Church This Week.
 One of the largest congregations of the winter listened to an excellent sermon at Dwight place church Sunday morning by Rev. Dr. Twitchel. The subject was "MurmuriDg," and Dr. Twitchel took for his text Exodus xvi:2: "And the whole congregation of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness" In summing up, he said: The trouble with us is that in our thought of good or i'll we stop short of God. What we need Is an "all-including" view. Here is our | refuge and our rest. Back of the men who help us or harm us stands the eternal, without whose help no man can help us, and without whose permission no man can harm us. Back, also, of all laws which seem to be working disaster for us rises the great law maker, who holds in his hand the forces ot the universe, directing storms that sweep across the continent and stars that swing in space.
 Thus the lesson is plain one and full of great encouragement. We find our selves walking in paths, not of our own choosing and in conditions concerning which our own election and decision seems to have been predetermined There are so many instances right in my own pastoral experience of how widows and orphans have been left penniless and friends have been raised up for them by certain divine influence, until they stand miracle of divine love. If any have gone forth into the wilderness in pursuit of some unlawful ambition, to such God will not send his mama. To some dissipation is the cause of hunger, to others extravaganza, speca- [ lation and the pool room are the deserts that bring hunger with none of Gods life giving mama to satisfy it.
 Can my brother any longer afford to | live without this great God, the only way to approach whom is through His son Jesus Christ.
 Immediately after the conclusion of the l sermon fall meeting of the officers of the l church was held and it was unanimously voted at the suggestion of Dr. Twitchel to start neighborhood prayer meeting or Winthrop avenue CT Norton street, neal
 Whalloy avenue. It is the thought and intention to start Sabbath school an6
 Sunday evening meeting as soon as possi
 ble. The prayer meeting for 8 time vii
 be held at private houses, but some sor
 of building will be secured as soor
 as possible. The meetings will bs
 started during the latter part of the pres
 ent week. The following committee O. four was chosen to act in regard to tn,
 matter: Deacon J. T. McDermott, Will
 liam s. Todd, Deacon J. B. Smith and D A. Alden.
 A valentine tea will be given by th,
 church and society Wednesday evening
 next at the chapel, with the special objec
 of raising money for the sick and suffering
 around. The literary snd musical enter
 tainment will last half an hour. Suppe
 will be served by the ladies of the church
 The Fairbanks Mission circle of youn,
 ladies will hold their annual tea on Thurs
