Mrs Besant begins by coatradoting the
general impression that Christianity has
no esoteric side. shat it is so simple that
all can understand She states that, on
| the contrary, the early Christian fathers
recognized the mysteries" the hidden
side" of their religion. Then she argues
| against the theory of the Comparative
| Mythologist that the common origin of re-
| ligion is common ignorance. The doctrine
of the Theosophist. as stated by her. is
| that all religions originate from the
teachings of divine men and that savage
religions are distorted and degenerate
forms of such teachings. She says in this
| connection.
THE reason, and. indeed. the justifica-
tion of the view taken by the Compare
tive Mythologists is patent. They found
in every direction low forms OF religious
belief existing amon6 savage tribes. These

Mrs Besant holds the theory common to
many theosophic leaders. that Christ, dur
ing those years of which there is no rec
ord in the Scriptures, was sent TO study,
first in an Essene monastery, and then III
Egypt and elsewhere so that he became
thoroughly conyersant with the esoteric
side OF religion. This theory she explains
al considerable length.
There is a great deal in this book Whlch
will seem familiar to the most orthodox
people. for there is. and has always been,
a mystical side to Protestant and Catho-
lie Christianity alike. In their most bar
rem and materialstic form this mysticism
has still been found, and its phraseology
is so much like that employed by MIS-
Bcsant here and there that she is likely
to be accused OF plagiarism. But there IS
no plagiarism about it. She has simply
taken ideas and thoughts common to all
religions and put them into words. Opln-
ions will necessarily differ as to the ques-
tiou whether theosophy can include other
religions or be as satisfactory as the va
rious familiar forms of belief to the aver
age mind. The author would probably be
the first to answer the latter question in
the negative. Her book is not Intended

ANOTHER CANADIAN NOVELIST.

who has read the story which gave its
name to the book will remember it. It
dealt with the experience of an Anglo-In-
dian, who went around for some time
with the sacred stone out of Hindu tenn
pie. supposedly reposing in his anatomy,
where it was thought to have entered
when shot from the gun OF dacoit. The
quaintness of the situation lay in the fact
that the priests of the temple were aching
to get at the EngIishman and dig out
their stone. circumstance of which he
was we'll aware. Any man who can evolve
plot like that has the bottom rock OF a
literary reputation.
Later Mr.. Fraser turned his attention
to Canada. and told series of animal
stories dealing with the life of the Can
adian forests. with which he is thorough
from his earlier work, but achieved an
even greater success.
His style is chiefly remarkable for
brevtiy, force, and a certain racy pic
turesqueness of thought and phrase. He
does not waste words; he is not self
conscious, and he does not trouble him.
self to initiate anybody else. He uses
only fresh material, and handles it ia
way that is all his own, and he is-there
is no mistaking the symptoms of that
interested in his work, writing for the
love of it.
The American public is waking up to
the fact of late that the colonial English
man is different in some respects from
the me-staying Englishman. Two or
three OF Mr.. Fraser's characteristics as
writer are those of his kind. though. as
his name indicates. he is not Saxon, but
Celt. There is something about life in a
new country. under new conditions, which
brings out the force iii a man or 4 peo-
pie and prunes away the nonsense, and
this is the effect it has had on the char
acter of British colonists in Canada. in
Australia, in New Zealand. and in India.

k(T soTERIC Christianity, or the
r. Lesser Mysteries" By Annie Be
- SAINT. is a book which is likely
to prove interesting to those who con-
cern themselves with theosophy, and some
of those who do not might gain con-
siderable information by reading 1t.
Whether one holds with any particular
view of things or not it is just as well to
know what the view is. Mrs. Besant's at
titude is fully explained in this work,
for outsiders TO receive or reject as they
like. To many readers it will seem an
incomprehensible attitude; to others it
may seem reasonable and right. AT any
rate, she has explained herself.
In the preface she says:
III true knowledge. the Gnosis, is again

Raleigh was a prisoner in the Tower
when Smith reached London. but there is
no reason TO doubt th2: the influence Of
Hakluyt worked upon him suddenly and
powerfully. The old knightly romance
upon which his youthful mind had been
fed disposed him to the ready acceptance
OF this new chivalry; the conquering of
savage lands for the Church and the King
of England became to him from this time
n crusade to whose measures of peace he
was the more disposed because of that
disgust and horror with which we have
seen him turn aside from war. Around
these new ideas new life in him began
al once TO grow UP; his character crystal
lized upon different and nobler lines; he
ceases from this time to be the mere
soldier of fortune and becomes the patri-
otic explorer and colonist whose name
and fame have come down to our day.
The New Colony.
But though such spirits as his might
desire the gold of the New World simply
for use in the cause OF freedom, there re-
mained a large number who lusted after it
for much more personal reasons; some of
these were wealthy merchants nj LSn-

to find imme liate employment, and the
colonization scheme was the readiest and
the most practical thing that offered"

and her rescue of Capt. John Smith seems
to be fairly well established.
There is an incident in the history a
little further on which so well illustrates
the character of this remarkable man
one phase of it at least-that it is more
significant than might appear from the
face of it. The historian says:
"A little stream on what is still known
as the Neck -of-Land. i. e., the mainland
north of the Back River, between Arch
er's Creek and Mills Creek. attracted
notice on account of quantity of yellow
dust which was washed down by its
waters and lay shining at the bottom.
This dust, which was in reality a sort of
mica. was mistaken for gold by the ad-
venturers, who all at once and all together
lost their heads and fell into the widest
and most delirious dreams of the gold
fever. For they says Mr.. Robert Bev-
erly, taking all to be gold that glittered,
ran into the utmost distraction. neglect
ing both the necessary defence of their
lives from the Indians and the support
Of their bodies by the securing of pro-
Visions.
Smith Kept Calm.
Smith seems to have been about the
only one who kept calm sough through
cut the excitement; not that he had any
objection to gold in itself, or to becoming
enriched by its means; but that he consid-
cred that the gilded dirt even if genu-
inc. which he was no. quite convinced Of,
could hardly make amends for starvation.
And starvation now became imminent
The fire had, we know, consumed the
stores brought from England. and the col
cny was again reduced to a diet Of por-
ridge and water. this time not even with
he variety of wheat and barley to make
change from oatmeal but plain corn meal
