SERMON SERVED GOOD PURPOSE.
Sudden Delivery of Theology Made
Horse Stop and Think.


What was possibly the most con-
vincing sermon in the world was nev-
er preached; it was devoted to an
other use. Archbishop TAFT was driv-
ing along a country road poring over
the manuscript of his sermon as he
rode. His attention was attracted by
roar and clatter behind and turn
Ing round he saw a horse attached to
a huge lorrie careering down a hill
at gallop. The animal was beyond
the control Of its driver and was
making straight for the back of the
dogcart in which the archbishop was
riding. The runaway drew rapidly
nearer, but TAFT waited calmly, and,
as 1t thundered up to the light trap,
he selected the psychological moment
Then with all his force he flung the
many-leaved sermon full in its face
The runaway stopped short to think 1t
over and as he did SO his driver got
him in hand again and the situation
was saved. "The poor beast had never
had such 'blatter' of theology be.

Queer Preaent for Jockey.

Early in his career Fordham, the
great English rider. received perhaps
the most remarkable present ever o.
fered 10 a jockey. He had, by bril-.
liant horsemanship, pulled off a race
on horse which started a complete
outsider, and had won something like
$4,000 for its fortunate owner. Not
unnaturally the jockey expected a sub.
stantial recognition of his skill, and
his feelings may rather be imagined
than described when the owner gave
hm q pat on the back and placed in
his hand package of candy.

A WONDERFUL CALENDAR.
The Four Ages From the TheOsoph-
icai Point of XieTE.


icai Point of View.
There is nothing more wonderful in
the chronological and time keeping line
than the Philosophical Calendar Ac-
cording to the Secret Doctrine" From
the theosophical point of view the four
ages are as follows: Sata yuga golden
age, 1,72S,000 years; tresta yuga (sil-
yer agel, 100000 years; dwapara
yuga copper age. $4,000 years; kali
yuga iron age. $4,000 years. The
total of these four ages makes one
maha yuga. or great age of 4.320,0OO
years. AOne thousand maha yugas
make one kalpa, or day of Brahma,
equal to 1000 times 100000 years
After the expiration of that unthink-
able period of time the night of Brah-
ma, equal ln~duration to the length OF
the day, comes on. and the earth van
isheS from the plane Of existence.
Three hundred and sixty days and
nights of Brahma make one year OF
Brahma. and 100 years of Brahma
make the great kalpa. a period of Sill
040000000,000 years. after which the
SUI and the entire solar system plunge
into impeneuable night and every
thing on the collective plane" is de
stroyed. Then comes the period known
as the great night. which Is equal In
length to the great kalpa. After the
great night has lifted its sable mantle
new solar system is formed and evo-
luton begins anew.
According to the doctrine Of the the
osophists. we are now living In the
kali yuga. the last of the four ages.
and it began nearly 5000 years ago,
with the death OF Krishna. who died
3,t02 years before our era began. The
first minor cycle of kali yuga ended
In the years 1s97-9S. but we still have
something like $4,000 before we ar
rive at the end of the present age.
Kali yuga IS also known to the the
+ osophists as the black age, 1t is an
age OF spiritual darkness. In which the
human race pays for the misdeeds
which are recorded against them in the
previous ages.
