day embraces people of all classes and
most nationaIities. We have passed
the age Of experiment long since. and
there now stretches before Us a career
of great promise"
Col. Olcott'S work in India i'm spread
ing the doctrines Of theosophy and in
amehorating the conditions of many
of the low-caste natives has called out
praise and commendation from all
parts of the world. In company with
Mime. Blayatsky he established schools,
united warning factions and revived
the Sd1Skrit literature that had fallen
into disuSe.
Since the headquarters of the Theo-
sOphical society were established in
India, y years ago, much work has
been accomplished. The society has
spread the teachings of the ancient
sages and adopts and shown the SINH
lariJy between the ancient teachings
and the discoveries of modern science.
In addition Col. Olcott reciteG a num-
Der of other examples of good work on
the part of the organization. I'VE
have promoted the human brother
hood" he said I'VE have effected fra
terual feelings between the northern
and southern schools of Buddhism in
India. We have woL thousands of cul-
tured and educated people to our be
lief; have brought about q revival of
Buddhism i'm India; laid the founda-
tions of Central Hindoo college at Be
mares, India, an institution now flour
iShing and receiving increased endOw-
ments every month. We have revived
Buddhism in Ceylon and have started
a great educational movement in that
island. Lastly. we have begun a cam
paign of education among the pariahs
of India. with "a hope that We may be
able to lift them from out of their de-
spised and dowurrodden condition"
Col. Olcott has been expert agricul-
turist and as such has refused many
offers of government position; he is
the author of many books and has
been successfully newspaper man, lee
turer. soldier and statesman. He is
90 years old. but as erect and agile as
man half that age.

in his pocket he regards as among his
choicest treasures. InJrinSically the
medal is worth but little. but it was
presented TO the wearer by the depart
ment of agriculture in recognition of
his fine newspaper work during the
Chicago exhibit in 1859. His report of
the agricultural congress held in con-
nection with the exhibit was said to be
the most comprehensive statement
written Of the meeting.
