THEOSOPHy WAS WORKED
OUT CENTURIES AGO
Principles of the Christian Religion Expounded
by Bishop Restarick- Revelation
of Jesus Christ.

At St. Andrews Cathedral Bishop
Restarick last night gave his second
lecture on the Principles of the Chris
tian Religion.'' He reminded his hear
ers that in the first lecture he spoke
of the fundamental facts of the human
soul and God, and the craving on the
part of man for a realization of rela-
tionship of the soul with God, as shown
in the varied forms of religion from
the dawn of history. sit appears he
said, ''that behind all systems of
idolatry, men of highest intelligence
recognized one final cause in Supreme
Being He touched upon the rise of
'theosophic PHILOSOPHERS and the way in
which they ranged round certain prin-
ciples. The Greek philosophic systems
ranged from pantheism to lofty theism,
or sinking at times to the baldest
materialism. One hypothesis after an
other came up and was laid aside, until
in. the time of Pyrsho the Greek mind
had come to the conclusions: eve as
sert nothing; no, not even that we do
assert nothing" Of this Carlyle says:
g The general conclusion to which Greek
philosophers had come was this: In
view of the capitalization of the senses,
we can not distinguish the true from
the false, and such is the insufficiency
of reason that we can not affirm the
truth of any philosQphic teachings "
"This is very important in view of
the fact that our modern philosophy
makes the same circuit as did the
Greek. 1t is further of very great i'm
portanee because the Greek mind in
its best days was higher in its powers
than the mind of any existing race.
Cation, the anthropologist, says: 'The
Greeks were the ablest men of whom
history bears record. We have no men
to put by the side of gSocrates and
Phidias and the millions of all Europe
breeding for 1000 years have never
produced their equals. after a strik-
ing argument he says: 1T follows from
all this that the average ability of
the Athenian race is on the lowest
possible estimate very nearly two
grades higher tnan our own, or about
as much as our race is above that of
the African negro Lecky and other
writers fully agree with Cation in this
estimate.
"The logical deduetion is this, the
unaided reason of man can not reveal
