TWO cREEDs OUTLINED.
Mr.. c. w. Leadbeater Discusses Theoso.
ply and Spiritualism.

"TheOSOphy and Spiritualism" was the
subject of an address delivered last night
in Confederate Veterans Hall by Mr. c. w.
Leadbeater, the English Theosopist Mr..
Leadbeater gave considerable attention to
discussion of the frauds of the spirit
world, declaring that there were as many
impostors among the dead as among the
living. He began with the announcement
that Theosophy is not opposed to Spiritual
ism, nor to any other religion or creed. but
that IT is neutral to some and auxiliary to
others. It wassclaimed that both religions
hold man to be Immortal. recognize the
Iatnernood OF God1ands the brotherhood of
man. and that there yfa a reward for the
righteous.
On many points, however" said MFR.
Leadbeater. there is a difference. The
Iheos0phist believes he shall live again ON
TINS earth, while some of the Spiritualists
do not agree with, him, The Theosophist
prefers to call the unseen visitors Just men
and women still. instead of spirits. The
latter name casts glamour of unreauty
over our relations with them and obscures
the great. plain. prpmfnent fact upon which
IL Is necessary to insist--the fact that death
makes no real change in the man but that
ne Is exactly the same after 1t as before.
