PHILOSOPHICAL.
| Abbott B. Clark of Los Angeles was
| the speaker at the regular public meet
| ing of the Pasadena branch of the
| Theosophical society in America this
evening. Mr. Clark's subject was 'Medi-
| tation and Action" Both meditation
and action are needful in life. The real
inner meditation is the attempt to be-
come one with the inner, real self, as
shown in the 'Bhagavad Gita," one of
the best guides to the student. 'The
Voice of the Silence" or Letters That
Have Helped Me-" by William @. Judge,
or 1.-THE Sermon on the Mount" will be
found the very thing, expressing the
| idea of real meditation.
After the lecture the Crusade of
American Theosophists Around the
World" was outlined with some idea Of
their movements while on this coast.
They are now in San Francisco holding
meetings, and will pass through Los
Angeles on Wednesday, going to San
Diego to lay the corner stone Of the
School for the Revival of the Lost
Mysteries Of Antiquity" after which
they will return to Los Angeles and hold
a meeting, probably about the 25th inst.
The meetings have been attended by i'm
mense crowds everywhere, usually many
being turned away for lack of room. 1t
is hoped that they can have time to hold
a meeting in Pasadena.
