Probably few know that there is a
choice side to every cemetery. thus, in
some parts OF the world, the eastern pOr-
ton, without regard to lis situation, is
always deemed the most desirable. This
preference arises from the old tradition
that our Lord will appear from the east.
1t is also believed that the dead in the
eastern portion will be first to rise; then
those in the southern, western and north
ern in order In England it was once
the custom to bury felons and other bad
chalscters Cd the north side of the
church. The custom of laying the dead

MAJOR CLARk's LECTURE.
A Scientific Basis for Ethics Not

Major James Albert Clark took for
his subject last night at TheosophicaI
Hall, Metzerott building, When
Preachers Become Teachers" After
outlining the origin of religions and the
beginning of the present scientific
mode of thought in the seventeenth
century, when dogmatism had reached
its height Of absurdity, the lecturer
said in part:
"A proyerb current among the stu
dents of German universities is The
pulpit has been kicked into every re-
form This, modified by Spencer. would
read, Science has purified religion
Even Prof. Drummond admitted that,
yet, as of yoTe, we find the pulpits re-
sisting the advance of scientific truth
as if there Was danger of annihilation
in the ecclesiastical domain. A ten
thousand-a-year preacher with intel
lectual gymnastics pounds the feathers
out Of pulpit cushions endeayoring to
refute the teachings of any five pro-
fessors in the colleges at two thousand
a year. The waning in the churches is
the measure of success in this effort
Theosophy aligns with the scientific
thought of the day, not only because
truth is therein fully and fearIessly ut
tered, but for stronger reason, in that
it is but the repetition of truths pro-
claimed centuries ago in the old San
scrit, where an evolution of evolution
was taught. beginning not at the bor-
deriand which separates the, organic
from the inorganic. but reaching far
ther, until theosophy earns the defini-
tion which Prof. Max Muller gives it.
that ancient system of thought. ex-
pressing the highest knowledge of the
Infinite to which the human mind can
reach Its motto is, There is no reIi-
gion higher than truth and its con-
comitant reads: He who knows but

ings do not emanate from pulpits, and
when referred to are dubbed danger
Gus doctrines. Nor are they flung at
the world by any institutional propa-
ganda, for it is a rule the world over
that no theosophist shall accept paw for
teaching humanity The press is the
ally. the only open court in this era of
diligent research. Slowly and by per-
collation. through the masses the yoli-
tional struggles of men Of light and
leading find acceptance. In the pull
pits. the Bible is the one only book:
among teachers of men it is MANY
books. In the scholaSticism and theolo-
gies of Christendom there is but one

scholarship all religions have truth.
