PHILOSOPHICAL THEORIES
Synopsis of What Was Talked Abou
LAST EYeninO.

Synopsis of What Was Talked About
Last Evening.
''What Proof Have We?n was the sub
ject of the address at the theosophical
headquarters last evening In the course
OF the lecture it was said: Professor
Tyndall said some years ago in the United
States that in his belief the testimony of
number of yeracious witnesses con-
stituted ample proof. II you were to
undertake TO obtain unimpeachable
proofs for yourself regarding many prob
lens and many discoveries in the scien-
tihc age, you would be quite as belated in
your daily life as the aged gentleman
who determined TO take nothing without
absolute proof, and who was therefore
found at midnight still longing to partake
OF his early cup of coffee usually taken
before rising) because the busy chemist
called III had not yet had time to decide
whether the milk, sugar and coffee were
pure.
Custom does not sanctify this demand
upon tneoSophiStS-not even that hal
lowed custom which has been erected as
goddess in our midst, but which
changes her fashion and face with every
year. Even the legal rule demands that
the accuser, the challenger, shall prove
his case.
But to the need of one who has gone
forth from all accustomed modes of
thought, self banished as it were, from
the normal realm of mind we must per-
force turn compassionate ear. And
yet, how little we can do For we are not
divided from him in thought, or heart, or
experience by any will whatsoever of our
own. 1t is the mere fact that we have
touched what he has not touched; have
seen where his eyes were closed; have
heard while he listened to another voice.
1t is not a difference of higher or lower,
OF greater or lesser knowledge, of superb
ority or inferiority; it is simply the differ
ence of experience, as colorless as the
difference between rates of vibration; we
have evolved to a different point, or by
differing means, and our conclusions
vary from his because the content OF our
consciousness varies from his.
I'm order to have your proof you must
work for it. In all this great universe
there is no proof obtainable except by
work. The only proof lies in mans own
experience.
phenomena are not proof. The law,
the oracular embodied common-sense of
the land, recognizes that proof is subjec-
tive and not objective; that the mind of
man is the sole arbiter, the sole judge !;
and that the evidence upon which he
makes up his verdict is evidence cogniza-
bic by the mind of man alone, valid to
him alone that mind is indeed the power
behind the throne.
1.-The proof that is wanted is proof of
the great spiritual side of life and of that
which in all directions underlies the visi-
bic and material. The proofs of life are
everywhere. They are found in all occu-
pations, departments of life. sciences,
arts. Proofs of evolution are every
wherein statecraft, in the trades, in
education, theology. the industrial life of
cities, the drama, music, painting.
1.-The proof of man is his life. The
proof of an Ideal is its life in the SOUL"
