transformations into more clumsy forms of energy, may be given by that other subtle and powerful agent--elec- tricity, whose effects can be demon strated to the physical senses. And this power every human being is yielding every day. It is moreover to a certain extent under every ones control, and must in time become entirely SO Even the helpless inebriate possesses this power though SC weakened, and his only real safeguard consists in his controlling it. For all regeneration must be on the thought plane, other wise it will be superficial-a mere inli- tation of the reality. The average man to-day is so accustomed to have thoughts succeed thoughts in his brain, without volition, that it would be diff cult to make him believe he could ever gain mastery over them, Yet such a time must come, and there must al- ways be a beginning. Even the victim to an enslaving appetite, if he can be made to realize this, can voluntarily call to his brain if only for g. brief sec- ond, thought which antagonizes the 1 craving which degraded him. He can
 
 T have within me power over this, :" and he has planted 8 seed which will grow, and in spite of many failures, will ultimately overcome his weakness, l provided he is sincere, and persists in calling thot thought again and again. And so, little by little, the power to di- rect thought grows by using it, and, little by little, evil, uncharitable, sell 1 fish thoughts can be forced out, by vol
 untarily calling into the mind the | thoughts which oppose these. No man need feel weak or helpless, since all possess and have power to use so great force.
 But this is truth which cannot be proved by words or arguments, only by
 experience. Like all truth, it has life, and can only be known by entering into life with it. And all the state ments of Theosophy's teachings in
 these articles must be understood as only an expression of vision of truth to one mind, gained by the light of Theosophy.
 All intellectual presentation of truth must be imperfect Thought can be in the direction of truth, and gains in power as it approaches it, but for mor- tai man can never comprehend it. His vision is too limited. And his percep- tion of truth must change daily with his growth in consciousness. Truth re- | mains ever the same, like the unchang- | ing mountains, which are often spoken | of as it's symbol. But to the pilgrim | journeying toward them the outlines and annara1t forms vary conSta nt1v and infinitely. It is for this reason the | Theosophical society has no creeds, re- | cognizing that such formation would
 be equivalent to an attempt to hold the | pilgrim forever in the same spot, that he might get forever the same view ol | the mountains. It seeks only to point l the road, and emphasize once more the first essential condition to all whC
 would travel it, which is-brotherly | love. SEPHUS.

 The report of R, s. Austin as trus- tee on the J. M, Cannon insolvent es- tate has been filed in the probate of flee. The figures show that the general claims amount to $11, ,266SS, and the preferred claims outside of taxes and costs amount to $10O. The balance for distribution is $416,95. The prospects are that the creditors will receive less than per cent. A hearing on the case before Judge Martin will be had this morning,

THE POWER OF THOUGHT.


 Mans nature was spoken of as dual in previous article. This Is a general division. For more careful study 1t is sub divided, and the power and nature of thought explained, though these subdivisions cannot be entered into here.
 But it is mems thoughts really which make them what they are. Even their bodies are transformed thought. Whatever they see themselves to be may be said in general way to be the result of previous thought, and every thought to-day is influencing them now and hereafter. Jesus expresses the same truth in saying: For every idle thought man shall give account in the day of judgment" Whatever period or separate periods of development in each ones experience the day of judg- ment may refer to, 1t is the thought which counts for everything Self con- trol must begin there. Outward acts can then be left to take care of them- selves. There is no greater misconcep- tion than to imagine an unkind thought is harmless If it has not been expressed in word or action Thoughts are real things, which are being crea- ted by thinkers every moment They are charged with a force infinitely more subtle and powerful than any we know of, a hint of which, with their
