London.-Mrs. Katherine A. Ting
Icy, high priestess of Theosophy, ar
rived In London with three great
ssoteric objects in view: To discred-
It the claims of Mrs. Annie Besant,
who declares that she is possessed of
The soul Of the late Nine: Blavatsky,
the founder of the modern theosoph-
ical school of philosophy; to rehabil-
fate the memory of the late William
q. Judge of New York, who has been
denounced by Mrs. Besant as a char
1etan, and to establish in the heart of
the New Forest, near Ringwood, a
theosophical academy similar to that
maintained by Mrs. Tingley at Point
Iona, Cal. Through lack of funds, if
not through lack of personality, Mrs.
Besant's grip upon English theosoph-
lists has been gradually waning, and
for some time past the advocates of
ssoteric culture have sorely felt the
need of an enthusiastic leader, who,
with power to make converts, should
also cause funds to flow into the de-
pleted Golfers of the society.
Her work in New York, in Cuba and
California has shown, so certain
English Theosophists think, Mrs.
Ttngley to be such leader When

why not?" she answered musical
~. 1T cannot be lonelier than Point
Iona was when we started. Why, the
jack rabbits and snakes were still
there, and the place was a tropical
desert. Now there are 400 children at
school there and 1900 applications to
hand"
And how is the teaching of
Theosophy to be applied to the chill
dren?"
The Application to Children.
"Oh, it is difficult to say. 1t is to
study children, to sympathize with
them, and to enter into their amuse-
ments and their sorrows; to enfold
them in ones arms, to make mud pies
and build castles and palaces and fort
resses with them; to ride over tho
moon on broom; to teach them to
love music and colors and flowers and
sunshine, and to play with them at
being kings and queens. Then, you
see, they grow up to be kings and
queens-real kings and queens"
Besides her brief speech in the man
sion in st. Johns Wood, Mrs. Tilgley
| has prepared for those of a theosoph-
ical turn of mind little statement in
which the question: How May One
Become Theosophist, and What Is
Required of a Believer" is answered.
y has sting in 1t for Mrs. Besant
1t reads as follows:
First, a careful study of the self
and the recognition Of both the higher
and the lower nature of mana recog-
milton that man Is divine and in es-
sence that he has power to govern the
lower. selfish nature by the higher,
the divine. principle within us. This
requires self-study and self-conquest,
which gradually transform the temple
which has become impure and per-
verified to a fit tabernacle for the
spirit. A man is transmitter of eth.
er good or evil, and only by self
knowledge and self-control can either
be enhanced or mitigated."

Successful Voyage of Australians Ark.

Australia has given to humanity an
interesting Noah In the person of Fe-
Tx Tanner, who some time ago left
Australia for New Zealand with a
scheme for the construction of an ark
which should carry a considerable
number of passengers.
In Maoriland he persuaded quite a
number of people to believe in his
ideas. and some weeks ago Tanners
Ark" a barrel shaped structure OF
quite unique design was built and the
vessel put to sea from a small port
near Christ church. Tanner was on
board with five companions.
The ark was bound for Tlmaru. a

the west the Sierra Madre mountains
filed the background to the sky.
This desert place has now become
a semi-tropical garden, studded with
30 buildings of ancient Aryan archi-
lecture, including residences, an aca-
demic grove, and an amphitheatre all
overlooked by an Aryan temple with
an amethyst dome. Here was estab-
lished the Raja Yoga schools-an in
stitution which processes to give stud
ents an equal balance of mental, physi-
cal and spiritual education.
AS the fame of the school spread
the number of students multiplied,
and pilgrimages were made to the
place from many lands. There were
persons who hoped to find in Theo-
sophy relief from the pangs, pains,
and doubts of human life. AS pros
perity grew and children of million
aires and day laborers, of authors,
actors, and ministers toiled together,
the curriculum was increased al
though it never departed from its or
iginal elemental foundation of hygi-
| enc, music, the fine arts, and Ian
guages, and, Of course, what is
known as common school, education
was not omitted. although everything
was taught with the idea that it was
a duty to be joyously and unselfishly
entered into.

The School In the New Forest.
After much elaboration Mrs. Ting
ley, with the cooperation of Miss Her
bert and the Hansons, decided to
establish in the New Forest and in
Sweden theosophical schools similar
to that so successfully maintained at
Point Iona. Miss Herbert and the
Hansons will proceed to Sweden to
carry out one part of the program,
while Mrs. Tingley, now known as the
Purple Lotus Mother, just as Nine.

Lotus Mother. will remain in England

had maligned.
Mrs. Tingley had not been day in
London before she repaired to the Eu-
ropean headquarters of the Universal
Brotherhood Organization, Information

ical society" Her reception there will
probably cause Mrs. Besant to declare
that there have been traitors in her
camp, for the Purple Lotus Mother was
received and acclaimed as the only
.one and true head of the Theosophical
society.

supposed to be her most trusty lieu
tenants hailed Mrs. Tingley as de-
liveret. On the evening of her advent
she gave a large reception, in which
all classes Of society were represent
ed. For the nonce she eschewed all
the mystic phrases which English
Theosophists had so long listened to
from Mrs. Besant, and at once got
down to a practical basis by explain
ing the principles of education carried
out at Point Iona. She spoke with en-
thusiasm, even with eloquence, and
her well-modulated and musical voice
and flashing eyes held her audience
with rapt attention. She said among
other things:
"The great feature of all successful
work is organization. The organiza-
ton of the Raja Yoga system of edu-
cation has been the production of re-
markable results, which, believe, are
superior to those achieved by educa-
ton on ordinary lines. Duty is the
first principle taught, but its benefit
is taught with understanding. While
the practical side of life is not disre-
garded, advancement to it is taught
by an understanding of what may be
achieved by beauty, sweetness and
light.
Her First Shot at Mrs. Besant.
"The organization is not in any way
associated with the society with which
Mrs. Annie Besant is connected. /
hold that Theosophy is based on COM
mon sense, is practical, and can be APP
piled to everyday life, and whenever
one is found teaching to the contrary
and theorizing without giving the
practical demonstration, that person
is not necessarily tc be relied upon as
| teacher or benefactor. Ambition and
love of power may be more to such a
one than the claims of humanity.
when Nine. Blavatsky first started
her great movement she appealed to

teachings have been, unfortunately,
distorted by fanatics. In spite of the

anu w ilIldLu w. Juu5c, Hel SuCtc5SOl,
there are still those teaching Theoso-
ply who according to my philosophy,
confuse the public mind. Thus are the
simple and beautiful teachings of The
osophy obscured and rendered inef-
fective when applied to practical life"
Lively Times Looked For.
Thus Mrs. Tingley delivered her
| first shot at Mrs. Besant and for the
memory Of Mr.. Judge. So far no re-
ply has been nader The silence, how
ever, is regarded. as calm before the
storm, for Mrs. Besant still has ad-
| herents in London who look upon
| Mrs. Tingley as usurper, and
Mrs. Besant's strong hand Is certain
ly a knowledge OF Indian mystical
lore, OF which knowledge the Theoso-
phists of Point Iona are said to be
deficient. Lively times may, there
fore be expected when word comes
from Mrs Besant that the Mahatmas
are fighting on her side.

This, of course, Mrs. Besant could not
do, but she continued to proclaim her
leadership, and gathered around her in
England a desultory following.
When Mr.. Judge died, Mrs. Tingley
became his successor by similar
token, and her enthusiasm, her charm
of address, and her executive ability
placed Theosophy upon a broader,
more practical, and popular basis than
that which had formerly held it. Some
