The oldest philosophy in the world
and the newest, the romance Of the un-
known, the mystic thing that the great
dreamers of the ages have touched upon
since the beginning Of history. is theos-
ophy, which like the reincarnation Of
which it teaches, is Teappearing in the
world Of thought today in a wave that
is rapidly spreading among the ad-
vanced thinkers and philOsOphic cults
Mrs. Marie Miller Johnson, who lives at
1046 Major avenue in this city, is the
principal theCgOphist of Utah.
Born of the Mormon faith and
through her childhood and young wO-
manhood a firm devotee to that faith
she has successfully encountered and
lived through the stage Of creedal
fanaticism TO the attendant reaction Of
materialism, atheism, free thought,
transcendental philosophy and finally to
the most ancient theory of the great
genealogical plan-theosophy.
Through storm to peace" she styles
her mental and spiritual journey, and
TO hear her for an hour in learned de-
hneation of her belief and the whyfOTe
thereof is to understand the meaning of
the phrase.
In brief, theosophy embodies the the
DRY of reincarnation and the fact of the
law of cause and effect. This last pTin-
cipal borders close to the C~iental fatal
ism in the application made by the
thee sophist, who AYERS that the mi
nutest action of the minutest object in
the universe has a previous cause and
a consequent effect. Therefore, the be
lief is that an accident is utterly
impossible Indeed, theOsophy partakes
in a great sense Of the philosophy Of
Asia.
Teachings of Buddha.
There is much in it that has its origin
IN the teachings of Buddha and other
great Oriental philosophers. In its more
recent revival theosophy contains much
of modern philosophy, or rather as the
theOsOphist claims, modern philosophy
contains much OF theosOphy. 1t is in
truth higher and more advanced form
of the ancient belief of the continual
reincarnatiOn Of the human soul. as
taught in India from time immemOra-
bic, as accepted by the Greeks for sew
eral centuries, and as continually en-
bodied in the history and character of
those countries from which the world
of men originated, and in which half the
human race now resides.
Salt Lake will have an unusual op-
portunity to catch something of this
ancient-modern cult when Mrs. Annie
Besant Of Chicago, present leader in the
ranks of the theOsOphists comes to lee
ture al Barratt hall the evening Of Sept.
:. OF fame as a thinker equal to that
of Mrs. Eddy of Christian Science fame,
Mrs. Besant has thoughts and convic-
tons so startling, so fraUght with posi-
bilities and withal so unassailable from
the logical view point. that the most
materiahstic scoffer is forced TO catch
something Of the profound idea at the
bottom of il all.
Has Firm Conviction.
Mrs. Marie Miller johnson, who ap-
pears in the accompanying cut. is a
faithful follower Of Mrs. Besant Her
belief in theOsophy is not merely the
acceptance Of a theory, but a firm con-

Senator Burkett has presented an
amendment to Senator Hopkins bill
changing the personnel OF the consular
examining board. The Hopkins bill pro-
vides that the board of examiners of cam
didateS for the consular service shall be
composed of the chief of the consular
bureau. the chief of the bureau of manu-
features and the chief examiner of the
civil service commission. 1t also provides
that no appointments shall hereafter be
made unless candidates are examined by
this board. One effect of this portion of
the bill would be to shut out from ap-
pointment except through another exam
nation persons who passed their exam
ination before the old board and are now
awaiting appointment.
Senator Burketts amendment provides
that persons who have passed their eX-
ANNA ton and are now eligible for APP
pointment shall not be required to take a
second examination, as proposed by the
Hopkins bill.
