THE COUNTESS PARLOR TALK
Inc second Assembly on Theosophv Nester.
day Afoernoon-Not MANY present

'''~ ~'eSo"u HossWDIy on IneOSOpny KeSter.
gay Afaernoon-Not Many Present
But small audience gathered at the
rlday Morning club room Yesterday
afternoon at Countess Wachtmeisters $
iarlor IaIk, name suggestive of the
iniormallty OF the meeting, when all the
VISITORS as guests of the afternoon had
the privilege of conversing with the
hostess and having all questions ans
wered.
Some of the guests" however,
brought no manners with them. for al
though the countess, for the sake of be-
ing heard, rose in reply to the smallest
question, yet the visitors failed to ex-
tenu the same courtesy to the gentle
woman before Them
The principal topic discussed yester-
day was reincarnation and many inter-
estlng instances were given by the
countess of scenes and remembrances
OF occurrences in former life that many
persons are known to have. The most
striking example of this given by the
countess was of a lady in London who
mad a most vivid recollection of having
once been prieSteSS in a Grecian temple
Further, lady in Australia had the
same remembrance. The two met in
London, and without presentation came
naturally together and spoke of their
former existence. Many deep and
courre-ut the recrIrg, anu were durcnIy
and easily answered. and to those who
were expecting 1t the inevitable ques-
ton also came. Did the teachings of
theosophy conform with female suf-
frage. The countess replied that the
philosophy covered all interests to the
welfare of mankind, therefore this also.
Mention was made of the prestige the
osophy is gaining in the upper circles of
English life and society. Annie Besant
had been frequently asked by Canon
Wilberforce to lecture before an assem-
bly, of the clergy, and frequent
gatherings were held in the homes Of
the aristocracy, when one or the other
of the leaders was invited to explain the
philosophy The countess feared 1t
might become fad, which she depre-
Gated, because the wish of its promoters
was to gather in all who sought Its
truths for truths sake. and not because
it had become fashionable.
The most striking feature OF the pres
ent gatherings is the marked disinter-
estedness of Countess Wachtmeister.
Her entire attitude is in accord with
what she describes to be the great OBJ
iect of theosophy-that of uplifting hu-
manity. Moreover, she gives expression
to many beautiful thoughts, clothed In
| beautiful language as we'll, and there
| fore capable of holding a cultured and
critical audience. Qualification was ex-
messed by the countess when asked tc

| Workman and Hawkins streets, East

held this evening at o'clock.

The countess devotes some attention
to the "outer head" of the inner section,
Mrs. X. A. Tingley. The countess al
leges that Mrs. Tingley is professional
spiritual medium, and quotes DR.. j. A.
Anderson, president of the San Fran
cisco branch of T. s. A, as having pub
licly made that statement. On this
head permit me to say that DR.. Ander-
son and myself have been for many
years past close colleagues, and that
within two weeks last past the, doctor
expressed to me every confidence In Mrs.
Tingley as lady in every way worthy
of his highest regard. Further, as to
the countess statement, please permit
me to quote Mrs. X. A. Tingley's own
words upon the subject of her alleged
professional mediumship: 1T all de-
pends upon what you mean by medium

the ordinary sense of the word, as have
for some years realized. At no time was

spiritualists as an enemy in their camp.

the physical phenomena upon which so
much stress is laid by many leading
members of their organization. What
led me away from that was conscious-
ness within myself that there was more
beyond, and a realization that the better
part of spiritualism was but a stepping
stone to a broader and higher philoso-
ply" Mrs. Tingley. it thus appears.
