He carried on his work with remarkable enthusiasm

That unique retreat for metaphysical
Speculation, the Point Iona COM

In one of the current magazines, and 1t
is pleasant to learn that the purple

ligned and that her theosophical home
Is the place where men and women
work with no hope of reward here or
hereafter. Just why that Is so meri-
torious isf not stated, but the reason is
doubtless too deep and psychic for or
binary intellects to comprehend. Mrs.
T1ngley thinks, that theosophy has
passed the speculative stage and now
she issconcerned in developing an edu-
cational and religious scheme which Is
deduotbleyt0 a single statement. Her
creed Is, IT would not say, let us
pray but 1et us do;' let US turn
from the negative side of knee prayer
to the positive side of heart action"
most simple creed which explains the
attitude not only of Mrs. Tingley but
of other eHpositors of up-to-dat re-
ligiOns. For no one will deny that the
purplef mother, assisted by her psychic
dog Spot, has carried out her creed OF
doing" faithfully, to the extent of do
ing every one within radius of twenty
miles. AT all events Mrs. Tingley
should be commended for her frank
