THE BESANT LECTURE
ABOUT REINCARNATIoN AND
SOUL EvoIUTIoN
How the Friction and Assimilet ton
Of Experiences Develop Higher
l. Types Of Humanity

BEFORE an aud1eL ce that only partially
filled the Los Angeles theater. Mrs. An
ME Besant lectured last evening on RE
incarnation and the Evolution of the
Soul" The speaker was introduced to
her audience by Countess Wachtmeis-
ter, who first made q few announce
ments concerning some Theosophical
literature that was for sale at the door.
Without loss of time In preliminaries,
Mrs. Besant attacked her subject. Deal
ing first with evolution in general, its
growth and effect on modern thought.
she next particularized and referred to
the difference between psychological
and physical evolution, and spoke of the
former as more intangible than the lat
ter. in that mental and moral change
the change Of physical forms. Never
theless, the evolution of the soul is ac-
complished through the friction of ex-
perience, and as science has proven that
evolution in forms has gone on through
the mineral, the vegetable and then the
animal Kingdoms. so the birth of the
human soul, which is the beginning of
individualized life, goes on, assimilating
the experiences of this life to prepare
itself for those that are to come in other
worlds beyond death.
Mrs. Besant likened the soul germ to
the seed that is planted in the earth. that
is warmed by the sunshine Of happiness,
watered by the rain of tears, touched
by the soft winds of friendship or the
stormy winds of trial and sadness, until
the embryonic soul within which every
thing is latent is brought out and devel-
oped by this friction of eXperience-as
butter is made from milk by friction
alone-into a higher type, dawning
power for the good not only of the indi-
vidual but of the race. The speaker re-
ferred to the three stages of develop
ment, when the mental body casts Off
the physical body and enters the next
higher or astral body in the astral world,
and thence on and up into heaven. or a
purely mental world, q world of the
mind.
In each of these worlds the soul gath
ers its experiences, each and all of which
may be made Of use in it's own uplift-
ment and therefore the general better
ment until experience is changed into
faculty, a dawning faculty of right and
wrong, and then that soul is born again
and returns to earth higher type. on
higher plane, growing, revolving soul,
and that is reincarnation.
Mrs. Besant touched on thought trans
ference, and in closing made an earnest
plea that less be thought of and about
physical forms and more of and for the
soul development.
She will speak again tonight at the
same theater on Man, His Invisible
Bodies and Power. of Thought" This
afternoon and tomorrow afternoon she
will be at Odd Fellows hall, 2201s South
Main street, from to 5. to meet the
friends and students of Theosophy,
when she will answer questions; and
Tuesday evening she will speak in Audi
torium hall, Pasadena, on the general
topic of Theosophy and it's influence.

SAT UP IN HIS COFFIN.
South Carolinian Who Was Shrouded Joins
the Watchers in Conversation.

Edward Gedding, farmer living near
sumter, S. c., had been i'll for six weeks
with the prevalent grip. A few days
ago he became much worse and one day
last week died.
That is, was pronounced dead by doc
tors, nurse and relatives.
The coffin was ordered and the body
was prepared for burial.
In the afternoon it was placed in tt e
coffin, and the interment was to take
place next morning.
During the evening when the room was
full of the dead mans friends, who ere
talking in low tones, a voice was heard
issuing from the coffin.
One of the holder men opened the lie
and Gedding rose to a sitting posture
and spoke to them. He was quickly un.
dressed and put to bed.
He is now reported improved, and
there are hopes of his recovery.

but when the measure was brought up it
came within a few votes of passing. But
the bill was lost much to Senator Keller's
relief
The most freakish piece of legislation
during the present session of the North
Dakota legislature is the bill to create a.
state board of examiners for BARRIERS, con-
sisting of three practical BARRIERS, who shall
give bonds in the sum of $4,000 and ex-
anime all persons aspiring to practice the
art tonsorial. All BARRIERS must be regis
tered. and the proposed law makes it a
misdemeanor to serve as a barber with
out a certificate of registration from the
state board The object of the measure is
somewhat in doubt but it is presumed 1T
is to reduce the mutilation of patrons of
barber shops to the minimum, and that
the sufferer at the hands Of the careless
wielder of the razor may follow up his
butcher through the state register Of bar
bers and bring him to justice.
Aside from this, the one unusual feature
of the session is the bin to make the play
ing of football a misdemeanor This was
introduced by Representative Hawk, but
it was defeated in the house.
Nebraska also has an antifootbau bill,
and it's sponsor is no less person than the
speaker of the house, J. n. Gatfin. The
bill not only provides fines and imprison-
ment for actual participation in games,
but makes trainers, umpires, reporters,
and even spectators, subject to prosecu-
ton. Further than that, law officers are
empowered to arrest any person found
training or engaged in practice with the
intention of participating in game. The
fate of the bill is in doubt But when it
comes up for debate, an amendment is
ready to be tackled on making the wear
ing of long hair by a college student prima
facie evidence of a desire to engage in foot
ball and subiecting the wearer to impris-
onment

er Petit when he heard it forgot his
dignity learned during his years at the
United States Naval academy and laughed
out. He sought to emphasize the joke by
referring the bill to the committee on
swamp lands But the tables have been
turned. The author of the new mathe-
NAUTICAL truth got it before the educational
committee, which reported it favorably,
and the bill has since passed under sus-
pension of the rules.
The author Of the bill is DIR. Edwin
Goodwin, a physician Of Solitude, Posey
county. He is confident that he has found
the solution of the problem of how to
square the circle. The basic principle Of
