DARING BELIEFS
ARE DISCUSSED
Mrs. Annie BeSant Tells of Re-
incarnation and Trans
migration of Souls.
VIEWS OF THE0SOPHY
LECTURES TO AUDIENCE AT BAR
RAFT HALL LAST NIGHT.

Calm, precise and firm in her position,
Mrs. Annie Besant, president of the
TheosophioaI society, told her inter
viewers something of the daring beliefs
of theosophy. She told them briefly of
her belief in reincarnation and trans
migration, and of the evolution in the
different existences necessary to reach
the highest manhood.
Mrs. Besant is g. years old, but she
doesn't look it. Her short, wavy, snow
white hair that flows back from a high
forehead, forms a frame for her strik-
ing countenance. She has a sweet
counterfeit of a smile that she uses with
effective frequency.
Mrs Besant insists that theosOphy is
a scientific study, not i'm conflict with
any broad religion. Churches, the be-
iiefs of which were confined by narrow
dogmas, she said did not admit of a
belief in theOsOphy.
'TheOsOphy itself" she said, lis broad
enough to admit Of practically every
religion. A Christian may be a strong
theOsOphist, and, because of theOsOphy,
a stronger Christian. A Hebrew may
be d theOsOphist and still retain undi-
minished his belief in the Jewish faith.
There are about $1,000 members of
our society in the world who are active
i'm its work. Twice as many others are
assisting US in our work, though not &C
tive members. OF these d large pro-
portion also hold beliefs in different de-
nominations. Among our members we
nave a number of clergymen and prom
-nent church workers.

Lecture Last Night.

Barratt hall was filled last night
when Mrs. Besdnt lectuTed on the
philosophy of life, and her lecture was
listened to with marked attention and
interest, her strong and fOTceful deliV-
cry and Clearness of expression carry
ing her advanced views home effective
ly. Hers was a plea for intelligent eff
fort on the part of man to overcome
natural or unnatural deficiencies-ac-
cOTding to the point of view.
Mature builds her things and makes
her changes slowly, but where human
intelligence comes to the aid of nature,
you may do in ten or twenty years
what nature would require centuries
or a millennium TO accomplish, she
said.
Mrs. Besant called attention to the
work Of Luther Burbank, who is praC-
tically creating new fruits and forms
of vegetable life, and yet he has only
the force of nature to work with. Bur
banks success said Mrs BeSant lis
mainly due to his care in eliminating
everything that binders growth along
right lines and caring for every ele-
ment that assists proper development
and evolution
Mrs. Besant outlined the theory that
the seusibilitieS of man are partly be
yOnd the power Of the body to feel or
express, and that a part Of his spirit
is dwelling in other worlds, only giving
the physical body an occasional
glimpse, as illustrated by premonitions
or warnings or through some artistic
achievement beyond the usual scope of
the mind of mankind. Your will and
your eudeayor will he the only draw
backs to progress when you progress
far enough" she said. THE law of
evolution is carrying us ever onward,
but it carries Us more swiftly if we
know how to cooperate with it."

No Moral Code.
THE TheosophicaI society has no
moral code which it enfOTces by eXpul-
sion. This matter has been a matter OF
much discussion during the past two
years, and I have taken the position
that the reason d man is bad is because
he is undeveloped, and that 1t IS the
duty Of the society to make that man
better by example and training, not by
punishment
During all of her life Mrs. Besant
has been somewhat radical. As girl
she was educated privately in England,
Germany and France. When she was
20 she became the wife of a vicar in the
Church of England, from whom she
was legally separated a few years later
She then BECAME a free thinker and an
atheist She took as active part in
trades union works, and is known as a
friend Of the labOTing man.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Besant took
up theosophy, and has been an active
worker in the ranks Of the TheOsOphiCal
society ever since. She has spent much
of her time in India, making her head
quarters there. She was an ardent pu-
pill Of Madame BIavatsky, the Russian
woman. who was one of the founders Of
the Theosophical society. During the
time she has been in India she has
founded several schools of theosOphy
and has written several works on the
subject

Worlds Inhabited.

Our belief is one of evolution. We
believe that the amount of life con-
seriousness i'm the universe is immutable.
It may vary on one world or another,
but the totality is always the same. We
believe that there are innumeTabIe
worlds that are inhabited by reason
able beings. Of the planets we see sew
eral that sustain forms of life i'm diff
feTent stages of development. On Venus,
for example, life is developed to a
greater extent than on earth, While on
Mars the development is not great.
Physical life germs may be trans
mitted through space from one world
to the other, and, 1 believe, we might
even go so far as to make the assertion
that living organisms Of low stages of
development may be transmitted from
one world to another during the one eX-
/ istence, though, of course, no scientist
would bear us out in this
This life and all other forms of life
not perfect, are a portion of the stage
of training, of development, prepara-
tory TO the state of perfect manhood.
/ TheOsOphy is not precisely pOlytheism,
or any form of it. We do not believe I'm
a physical God, but i'm an infinite Deity,
of which we are all a portion. Our con-
seriousness is the portion of this Deity,
which we might compare to a seed. In
none of us is this seed fully developed,
and until we have lived q number Of
eXistences, the number varying accord
ing to the degree of development. we
have not reached the stage of perfection
which we viii all reach sometime.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-09-08
After Perfection Is Reached.

when the stage of absolute perfec-
ton is reached there is eternal work
and usefulness for us. We then take
part in the great work of the universe
the forming of new worlds, the care
and development of living organisms
and such.
do I remember of previous exist
ences? Certainly I DO, and so may any
one whose senaibiIities are developed
along theos0phical lines. The phiIOso-
ply of memory IS one that is not diff
cult to acquire, and when we do ac-
quire it we become conscious of hap
penings in the remote past that connect
us with our previous eXisteuces. OF
my past eXiStences 1 prefer not to say
anything except to the0sOphists, be-
cause many people would be skeptical
and say that I was romancing. If
1 told them that / had at different times
been historical characters they would
say that I secured my inspiration from
history. IF 7 spoke of a humble chaTac-
ter I had been in the past, I would be
told that 1 was weaving fairy tale"
Friends of Mrs. Besant, with whom
she has talked of previous existences,
say that she has often told them of her
acquaintance with Shakespeare. She
has mentioned other historical charac-
known.
Mrs. Besant spoke only briefly of the
Leadbeater incident. which caused a
schism in theOsOphicaI ranks. c. W.
Leadbeater was an ardent theosOphist,
who lived both in India and America.
Charges that he was instTucting young
people in immoral practices were made
and he resigned from the The0sOphical
society.
THE Leadbeater incident is closed, -
said Mrs. Besant Mr. Leadbeater was
never convicted and never confessed to
the crimes he was charged with. His
reinstatement came before the general
council of twenty-five members. and he
was reinstated by a vote of twenty
three to two. He is now in India work
ing with US. He has not TejOined the
society, though there is nothing to pre-
vent his doing so should he desire. The
trouble was taken as an excuse for some
members to leave the society, though
believe the reason for their doing so was
because Of a personal disliking to me

JoIsTs ARE OLD sTRlNGERs
Curious and Historic Timber In Use
In Warehouse In Maryland
Village.

The warehouse of G. s. Mercier, in
Point Of Rocks, Md, has some curious
and historic timber in it. The joists
are made from the "stringers" which
were used on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad when the cars were drawn by
horses, before the days of the locomo-
tive. These "stringers" were oak
timbers. about six inches square, laid
longitudinally on the track just do the
T rails are now laid. Upon these tim
bers iron straps about two inches
wide and half inch thick were
spiked. and upon these straps the
wheels ran. To Mt upon these thin
straps the flanges OF the wheels must
have been very slight. Now and then
the end of strap would get loose, the
wheels would get under it and the
iron would penetrate the floor, and
sometimes passengers were severely
wounded by them. They were known
as Snake heads" To several of the
