attribute their success in Athens to The
practical identity of the teaching of the

Armenians were cncamped on the outskirts
Of the city. She visited their camp and
found them in pitiable state. The Greek
government had supplied them with tents
and food, but they had insufficient clothing
and almost no bedding. So the theosophist
party raised fund, with which they pur-
chased blankets and underclothlng. which
the unfortunates accepted with tears in their
eyes. Mrs Tingley and Mr.. Hargrove
made short addresses on brotherhood, to
them. which were responded to by S. A.

with one OF the brotherhoods OF adopts, OF
whom theosophsts speak so much. From
