ONLY FORMER ATLANTIANS
Theosophist Anderson Talks About
ReincarnatiOn
The American Society Cuts Loose From
the English and Elects Mr..
Judge President

''lf reincarnation is true, it is true, and
we are the lost Atlantians,' was the
rather sensational premise to DR.. 4Ander
sons address before the Los Angeles
branch OF the American Theosophical
society last night.
This was followed by a mastery effort
to prove that, based upon profound
scientific research, reincarnation is the
missing link that reconciles the story of
the ages and lays the true foundation for
the brotherhood of man.

the ego in the last life developed some
cause that requires a more immediate
effect it may be clothed in new body
in much less time. The space between
reincarnations is devoted to delightful
visions and beautiful dreams.

II am just returning home from the
annual meeting of the American branch
of our society at Boston,, said DR.. An
derson to a Herald reporter, land at that
the American society. Hereafter we are
independent of any foreign interference
in regard to our domestic affairs. This
step was occasloned by the attempt of
the English lodge to depose Mr.. Judge
from his position as vice-president of the

attack upon one of the noblest men our
society has ever produced and to show
our appreciation of his brilliant efforts
he has been elected pres ident of the
American society for life."
""You have been accused of being one
of the old Rosicrucians, believe" ven-
tured the reporter.
Yes. it is true mem bers of our society
have credited me with such occult pow
ers but | have never laid claim to them
But do you believe they still exist?'

ing presence of the Mahatmas, who have
existed throughout the ages.
Are they incarnated too?" persisted
the reporter.
Eyes, a physical body only lasts them
400 years and then they are forced to re-
