THEOsOPHY AND PERFEcr1BILIrY
Burcham Harding's Lecture on the
New Faith.


Mr.. Burcham Harding, lecturer for the
Theosophical Society in America, lectured
last night at Mehrtens music hall on
Human Perfectibility.
In dealing with his subject, Mr.. Hard
ding said that within the last two wears
the leaders in science have admitted. that
mentality is the basis Of the world, and
science recognizes that this mentality
or consciousness remains when the body
dies. Theology has been making equally
rapid strides within the last few years.
The leading theologians no longer insist
upon the literal Interpretation of the
creation, but admit evolution. Theoso-
ply comes as the link to supply to both
a tul and rational system of evolution,
uniting them in making religion scien-
tihc, and science religious.
1t is by the practice OF brotherhood. Mr.
Harding said, that man fits himself to
receive the divine knowledge, and power
All nature teaches this necessity Of prac-
ticing the law of brotherhood. See how
every part Of a tree fulfills its own spe-
cial duty IN the general economy OF the
tree. If the roots rebel. refusing to send
sustenance TO the branches, the tree dies,
and with 1t the rebellous roots. Apply
ing this law OF nature to mankind, it is
seen that each individual is part of the
cial duty to perform. AS a machine is
made up of many different parts,
but each part is necessary, so
ally, but each has his own special
duty The unit is subservient to the
whole" is the law. In base ball, the
player who sacrifices the game for his
own individual record break this law =
The cause of suffering, Mr.. Harding
said, is the failure of individuals or bod
les of people to work for the general well
fare. Selhshness brings suffering to our
selves, and also throws out the whole
machinery of humanity
Mr.. Harding said that the explanation
why brotherhood must be the law of life
is bound up in the question of the real
ownership of the talents intrusted to us,
be they intellect, wealth, health, beauty,
ETC. What caused the personality to be
endowed with its present talents? The re-
ply ply, OF Of net Tdheos sSppy is that the
talents, therefore, belong to the soul which
earned them. This personality is but the
agent, or steward. for their rightful use.
The workings of the law of Karma
through incarnation brings to the present
personality what was merited by the pre-
vious life. In the spiritual plane mankind
mands that its talents shall be used for the
general welfare, according TO the law of
brotherhood. This is human perfection.
Selhshness causes talents to be taken
comes suffering.
MI Harding announced at the close of
his lecture that his subject tonight will
be The purpose of Theosophy."
Quite a large audience was present and
at the close of the lecture, many questions
were propounded. One gentleman who
was evidently under the Impression that

FIRE IN ODD FELLOWS BUILDING.
sauIs' Racket store Damaged About
$1,000.

Fire was discovered in Saul's racket
store under the Odd Fellows building
about 12:15 o'clock this morning. An alarm
was turned in from box 10 near by. by Po-
liceman Tom Farrell, who discovered the
fire.
When the department arrived smoke
was pouring from the gratings Of the
building. The doors OF the store were
broken in. but on account of the dense
smoke the location of the fire could not
discovered, which prevented the use Of
the chemical engine. Chief Mcguire di-
rected that the water be turned on. Sew
eral streams were poured into the build
ing until the smoke was partially subdued
and the fire. which was in the rear of
the store, was eXtinguished.
There was a considerable stock Of crock
description in the store, which was badly
damaged by fire, smoke and water. The
loss will probably amount to $1,000
c. +. Sauls, who manages the store for
his wife, was not present at the fire, but
the stock was said TO be insured with
Whitehead & Heuisler. The damage 10
the ODD Fellows building is slight. The
building is fully covered by insurance.
The adjoining stores, on each side of
the racket store, were filled with smoke,
which made lis way through the base
ment. but the damage from this source,
II any, will be very slight. The fire was
well-handled by the fire department. Had
II been allowed to gain Roadway IL might
have proved a serious matter. in the large
building and with the high wind blowing.
