The Alexief- Kuropatkin Dispute.


Paris, June 3.-The correspondent
of the Echo de Paris at st. Peters
burg t~elegraphs:
"Viceroy Alexieff and General Ku-
ropatkin, having asked the Emperor
to settle their dispute, his majesty
summoned a council of war, includ-
ing Minister of Wa Sakaroff, Marine
Minister Avellan and Minister of the
Interior Plehve. The council debat-
ed for several hours at ,Tsarkoye Selo.
Il have reason to believe that the
necessity of preserving the naval
base at Port Arthur, and the loss of
prestige that the fall of Port Arthur
would entail. were the arguments
which prevailed in the council. Cen
eral K~uropatkin has, therefore, beer
advised to attempt to relieve the
fortress, but to act with the greatest
prudence. A general whom 1 inter-
viewed on the subject OF the council
said:
IF Kuropatkin is weak enough to
advance, he will commit a serious
blunder The numbe of his troops
is insufficient. and the condition un-
der which he would act are unfavor-
able. He might meet an almost ire
parable reverse, and Port Arthur be
further from relief than ever. If we
try to relieve Port Arthur, we will
be doing exactly what the japanese
hope"

PHILOSOPHICAL NOTES.
The Law Of Progress.

To see the One and the Eternal
within each changing form, to pierce
through the veil of matter which wells
all life, is the power of the spiritual
life. ITO know the Self, to love the
Self, to realize the Self, that and that
alone is Spirituality. To see the Self
everywhere alone, that is wisdom.
All that is outside Of thisis ignorance,
and is unspiritual." When we once
understand this u only course, our
only sensible course, is to choose That
which never changes, the real, not the
phenomenal; to choose the life of the
Spirit in preference to that of the
form.
Here, in making this choice, we
will also be compelled to take definite
methods for evolving the life of the
Spirit within us, and we will seek for
the Law that underlies the unfolding
Of the Consciousness so that it may
recognize it's relation to Him in whom
we live and move an Z, have our being.
We will find the unity between our
Consciousness and all Consciousness
everywhere. The time will come, we
are told in the Upanishads, when ev.
cry form shall be dear not for the
sake of the form but for the sake of
the Self which is the life and reality
of the form-the God manifested in
that form. Here is the note of the
Spirit sounded. All is in the Self.
God is to be recognized everywhere
not 10 be p~ostulated or predicated
but to be realized. Many of us see
in Theosophy a challenge to the max
ing real of our highest thoughts
about God and man. To hope aud
tremble may be taught elsewhere but
nothing short of realization is the
goal set by Theosophy. How shall
we attain it, how shall We, blinded by
matter, know it?
The first great step to be taken in
the Laws of the Higher Life is the
Law of Duty. Many erratic people
in all religions, and T%heosophy is no
exception in this matter, fancy that
t he first thing TO do is TO cut all ties
, 1904-06-02

that bind asunder and to go into the
work or the field or whatever it may
be called, at M As elsewhere, in
Theosophy this is an error that will
have to be righted sometime and
somewhere. The Law of Duty is the
first truth which a man must obey, if
he wishes to rise to the Higher Life.
There are two great forces in the
world dramatically opposed to each
other but each working though in OPP
posite directions, to aid evolution.
Some of these forces help forward the
evolution of man by inspiring to no
BILE thought and high endeavor.
Others who are also helping forward
evolution "by striving to hinder the
progress of man and to bewilder him
in order that he may learn TO plant
his foot firmly, and by struggling
against the wrong may become per-
feet in the right" Both of these
sides are of the divine manifestations;
you cannot have the light without the
darkness, o progress without resist
ence. There is no evolution without
the force that works against it. 1t is
the force that works against evolution
that gives stability to progress, and
makes possible the higher growth of
man. Here is the point at which if
we do not discriminate, we shall fall
into error. We hold in Theosophy
that there is no force in nature that
has not an Intelligence back of it
guiding and directing it. The forces
and lnteliigences or beings of the
higher world who are helping forward
our evolution by guiding and inspir-
ing MS, by lifting us up and purifying
us are rightly the objects of our rev
erence and of them we may safely ask
help under whatever name we APP
proach them for every religion has its
angels and archamgels. The other
powers which call forth our resistance
are also our friends in so far as we
strive against them and resist them.
II is thus that our spiritual muscles
and nerves become strong. All sue
cess we gain through them arises
from the power with which we com
bat them. The strength hat comes
from constant effort to overcome,
helps forward our evolution. These
beings are not to be followed or obey
ed, meditated upon or appealed to
for help. How shall the ordinary
nan choose his path? What is the
test by which the one is distinguished
from the other
