Life After Death was the subject of
the lecture given by Miss Marsland SUM-
day evening before the Oriental Esoteric
Center. 1443 Q street Is there positive
proof Miss Marsland asked of the sur
vival of man after the death o. the physi-
cal body? and what kind of evidence
would be sufficient for the purpose? The
teachings of the orient were dwelt upon
at some length. and it was shown that
the Egyptian Book of the Dead" the
Zend Avesta, the Chinese teachings, as
well as the various Hindu and Tibetan
schools. all postulate the continued exist
ence OF the soul after sO-called death. in
the plainest terms. Wednesday evening
Miss Marsland spoke on THE Language
of Numbers The first part of the lee
ture was theoretical and dealt with the
origin and essential characteristics Of thG
first nine numbers. which were declared
to be but nine different aspects Of unity
each one a; manifestation of God. Miss
Marsland then proceeded to make practi-
cal applications OF the rules which had
been laid down and showed conclusively
that some persons vibrate to one series of
numbers. others declared that many of
the inharmonies In our homes and else
where are due to a want of understand
Ing OF these differences in temperaments
and from our not giving each other free
dom to live out our own number. There
are some who must vibrate to four and
they are never satisfied unless they work
hard with their hands; their fault Is that
they insist upon others doing the same
while the idealist who loves to muse is
found to- vibrate to three. six or nine.
