MeneIek of AbyssInia.

All that has been seen of MenelelS
during the last year has indicated that
he is a superior order of man. His be-
havior to the beleaguered and helpless
Italian garrison in Makaleh some
weeks ago exhibited conception OF
chivalry almost too lofty for the com.
prehension of mere Europeans. He not
only suffered this garrison to march
out with the honors of war, but actual.
ly furnished il with a protecting es-
cort in It's long journey TO join the main
Italian force, and when some of his
t:ibcsmen, resenting this generosity,
tried TO attack the released prisoners,
lie had them shot down without mercy.
This incident by itself might prove
nothing more than quaint &c,
centricity of character. But Men
elek seems also born com
Inander of men and captain of bat.
ties. Within six years Re hos created
and organized an empire I.here only

sion, a formidable army.--London Sat-

Honolulu's warm climate is

tical basis from standpoint
that cannot shift 1t renders
superfluous the terms "superna-
tural, " death" and even super
normal" and enlarges the natural,
life, and normal beyond all limi-
tations. 1t renders the human
sense of life spiritual rather than
material. 1t aims TO lift man
above any earthly gravitation that
is burdensome and enslaving. It
unfolds consciousness in him
that he is a living soul and not
merely an animated physical
organism. 1t discovers him as
made in the ''imnge of God;"
because a spirit, which,
though finite in its range, is the
natural offspring Of the Universal
Spirit. 1t makes religion-not
dogma, which is quite another
thing not only spiritual, but
natural aud scientific. 1t lifts or

from their material limitations, so
that the whole OF Gods realm be-
comes unified and systematic,
rather than chaotic and capricious.
Ii interprets death" rs only
false sense of life. 1t restores to
man the soul, the consciousness
of his primal independence and
divine sonship. 1t lifts him from
the animal plane and bids him
regard his body as his temporary
and useful servant, instead of his
hard and tyrannical master. 1t
discloses the divine in man as the
real man, or in other words, re-
stores man to himself. 1t lecon-
Giles and brings together two ira.
ditional antagonists, Science and
Religion, which have so long been
separate and frowned upon each
other. 1t opens to view truth as
an harmonious unit, and changes
general discord into harmony even
though all its vibrations may not
yet be understood. Says theoso-
ply, "We are souls having bodies,
and not bodies having souls"
In conclusion let me say, friends
all, that "as a man thinketh in his
heart so is he" Theosophy
teaches us to build thought realms
with ideals of harmony, health,
soundness and sanity. If at pre-
sent the body is not expressing
such conditions, the inner perfect
reality must be firmly held until,
at length, it is projected into out
ward expression. Theosophy tells
man to stop and think. Did you
ever try to do this, my friends ?
Did you ever sit down, quite alone,
and fold your arms and try to
reach
"That perfect silence where the
lips and heart
Are still, and we no longer enter
tain
Our own imperfect thoughts and
vain opinions,
But God alone speaks to u.s.
Try it, try it every day and you
will become a student of theoso-
ply.
Finally, ladies and gentlemen,
with my good night! as | see it,
theosophy teaches that in the
great circle of creative develop
ment, the divine life and energy
which God first involved into the
lowest conditions, will come at
length, through a series of grand
steps, to be gathered, organized,
individuated, and evolved into
"sons of God" in which form,
with reciprocal affection, they will
return to the Fathers House."
The real theosophist divines how
to "hitch his wagon to STAR"
and thus paves his onward path,
and accelerates his onward pro-
gress God-ward. And this is his
prayer and his belief:
"From thee, great God, we spring,
to thee we tend,
Path, Motive, Guide, Original,
and End"
