A LECTURE on BUDDHISM.

Claude Falls Wright. the theosophst. ectured
Yesterday morning TO a large audience in Chick
ering Hall His subject was THE Relation of
Buddhism to Theosophy." In his remarks he de-
cared that the theosophcal movement of the pres
ent day was the the society organized by
Guatama Buddha 500 years before Christ, although
the theopossts should not be considered as Buddh-
ists as has often been done. In the lecturers
opin,on the work done by Jesus among the Phar-
isees and Jews was essentially the same as that
performed by Buddha among the Brahmins, and
by the Theosophlcal Society among the different
sects of religion all over the world In the present
day. o,,.. -,
trine were properly understood and the real Bnddh-
ist PHILOSOPHY they would be found to be pre-
ciseiy tho same as theosophy. That Buddha had
an esoterc school is not generally known. Il Is
nevertheless true he said, and 1t Is that scnoo
which has preserved the Inner teachings to this
day. The followers known to some as the
Mahatmas. he declared.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE DISCUSSED.
IT MAY HAVE ITS ABUSES BUT THE SYSTEM CAN
NOT BE CHANGED. DIR. EATON SAYS.

1T MAY HAVE ITS ABUSES. BUT THE SYSTEM CAN
NOT BE CHANGED DIR. EATON SAYS.
The Rev Dr. Charles II. Eaton of the Church Of
the Divine Paternity. Fifth-ave and Forty-ifh-st.
preached last night Universal Suffrage in tho
Light of Recent Experience" Or. Eaton said that
the American Republic rests upon the theory that
al men are created free and equal.
There are here" said he, no privileged classes
but Government of the people. for the people and
by the people. The vote of an Emerson a Lincoln
weighs no more than the vote of the poorest negro
The President has privilege which is not the
hrthright of every citizen. The people
eveed down but leyellod up to the full dignity Of
equal citizenship"
DR.. Eaton then described tho growth Of suffrage
in the United States. and said that other Nation
had shown such splendid development In that line
There ere some people, however" he continued
who are 50 affected by the recent experience on
election day at tho ballot-box that they are be-
coming sceptical to the value Of the principle
which Is the cornerstone OF our Governmental build
ing. From various sources methods OF restriction
arc proposed, some based upon intellectual qualih-
cations and some upon property qualifications
There can be no doubt that there serious evils
in our system OF suffrage In OF our last Prcsi-
Dental campaigns $500),o0O spent for election
purposes These expenses could not have all been
legitimate Suffrage has been used in a way that
the moral sense Of the community condemns
Or. Eaton then went on to say that suffrage was
abused not alone by foreen-born citizens but also
by the native American people especially In the
rural districts.
THIRTY years s~o." said he. the first vote was
sold in the country districts regular sale
at every election"
The preacher then proceeded to say that what
ever the strain was upon universal suffrage the
system could not be changed
1T is possible. however, said he. ITO restrict the
rights which are now carelessy conferred upon i'm
migrants. would refuse suffrage to immigrant
until he had been in the country for at least ten
years Much can be done also 20 guard the right Of
suffrage by education"

GROWING HONOR or LINCOLN.

The Rev. Dr. f.. C. Boes. pastor OF the Church OF
tho Eternal Hope. Eighty-nrst-st.. west of Column
bus-ave. preached sermon yesterday morning on
the Increasing Honors OF Abraham Lincoln" He
took for his text Proverbs. ". IS: But the path Of
tho just is shining light. which shineth more
and more unto the perfect day"
Not since the death OF Lincoln said he in the
course OF his sermon has there ever been dark
and universal shadow cast over the hearts OF the
American people. But generation has passed since
that tine and 1t Is the tendency of the people that
they forget their benefactors. SO when a name in
stead OF fading, grows brighter, may be very
certain that there Is something whether OF Provi-
dencc or merit, that has brought II about.
abraham Lincoln to-day. In the sober judgment
OF tho world, IS growing greater all the time. HIS
growing honor has not been due to any idcalization
OF him. but rather to more intimate knowledge of
his life and character. Napoleon. Carlisle Cardinal
Manning were ideazed by the people. But the light
OF recent Research has shown their weaknesses Ii
Is generally true that the favortes OF history have
been wrapped IN n cloud of idealiZation. The close
study OF their lives has recr' I'd many overpraised
Lincoln Is too US for US to idealize him.
