II have just come from San Francisco,
by way Of Portland. from the eighth con-
vention of the society. which was
In fact the largest asssmblags Of
the kind since the organization Of
the order in 1s71 Our society was
given one night in the religious parlia-
ment Of the Midwinter fair at which DR..
J. d. Buck, dean of Medical college, Of
Cincinnati, and I. made addresses. Our
convention bad . representative from the
Indian section Of the society In the person
Of Countess Wachtmsister, and . repre-
sentative from the European section In
Mr.. f. T .Hargrovs, Of London. We had
delegates present from every section Of the
country and hundreds Of members and
visitors daily crowded every one Of our
very interesting meetings. The result Of
the convention will do much to strengthen
the bond Of union and harmony in the
society. and the Statistical reports read
showed . wonderful growth In the society,
- well - the deep interest taken In the
study Of thsosophy.
Zone Of the important resolutions
passed was defining the position OF the
society In regard to the Mahatmas, or
adopts; namely. that the existence of such
was not belief of tho society, which il
without declarations except that of uni.
versai brotherhood. and that all members
are free to believe or disbelieve, a. they
choose, in regard to those beings: that Is
TO say, 1t defined the absolute unsectarian
phases Of the society"
Mr.. Judge was asked to account for the
growth Of thsosophy, and said: "Think-
ing people are becoming dissatisfied in
their hearts with the dogmstic interpreta-
ton of life and religion - given them, and
theosophy gives them . reasonable inter-
probation to oil questions. showing that
oil things come from one single basls. II
gives reason to evolution. strength to the
idea Of spiritual life. and supplies the true
basis for good ethica II shows
many more truths. and finally,
IL shows that the present disorder,
troubles and problems OF civilization are
due to the people and not to the laws, for
il il useless to make new laws unless peo-
pie are willing 10 carry them out without
evasion"
This evening E. T. Hargrove. Of London,
