THEOS0PHISTs.

Lyman Gage. former secretary Of the
treasury is said TO have retired from
bushes with the view Of Joining Mrs.
Tngleys Universal Brotherhood colo
ny az Point Iona. Cal This is a
Theosophistic society over which the
lady mentioned presides as high priest
ess
Mr. Gage, 1t is claimed, has for years
given serious thought to the subject OF
theosophy, Several years ago, in an
Interview with newspaper men, he said
that he believed theosophy explained
many things that all other religions and
even science left in darkness. He
spoke Of Nine Blayatsky. and, while
he refused to give her his personal en-
dorsement or confidence. he declared
his belief that she was endowed with
remarkable powers
This admiration for one Of the chief
expounders Of the mysteries of the
osophy must have ripened into convlc-
ton u their truth. for report has II
that Mr.. Gage is about 10 make a trip
abroad FOR the purpose Of studying
the peculiar cult further, and then. It
is said he win identify himself with
the Point Iona institution. These ri-
mors arc rather persistent. although Mr..
Gage has. practically though gently de-
MED their authenticity.
Thcosophy Is term IN which arc
Included several distinct shades ~ phil
osophy hut IN n general way II denotes
that philosophy, the opponents Of which
claim o special insight into the nature
and qualities ~ The Godhead Some Of
the early Gnostics with their Oriental
speculatons about "cmanatlonsr we're

recent mystlcs the Godhead Is un-

earth. Things exist. they say. only
through the presence Of God In them.
It is a notable fact that. as the prin-
ciples n true Christianity are becom-
Ing less known among the children "
men. the principles Of the various nom
Christian systems which Christianity
undertook to combat. are again COM
ing 10 the front. This Is evident iD
the revival Of the ancient mystic spec
ulatlons u pre-Christlan times. which
the Apostle Paul branded as on show
Of wisdom" and philosophy and vain
deceit Our generation seems 10 have
lost its spiritual bearings and men
and women are wandering Of ln every
direction We hear Of sun worship.
and even devil WORSHIP. On Christian
lands. Buddhism and Mohammedan-
ism are spreading Seots are multi
plying, and many are lowering their
standards There Is uo help for this
confusion but IN % return 90 primitive
principles those laid down in the New
Testament and preached IN our own
age by inspired servants Of the Al
mighty.
We have no fault 10 find with The
osophists OF kindred mystics They
have some truths. and their aim Is the
salvation Of the world. But they will
never grasp the most important truths.
nor gain the object they profess TO
have in view. until they embrace the
fulness Of the Gospel Of Christ. and ap-
ply its principles to the needs OF the
human race For there Is no other
name In which there is salvation. He
alone is the light the life. and the way.
