weeks old was found last night on the
porch at the home Of George w. Elliott,

THE handkerchief undoubtedly belong

RELIGION OF GEORGE FOX.
Theme Of Lecture Before Lodge OF
Theosophical Society.

The Religion of George Fox was the
subject of a lecture delivered before the
Capital City Lodge. Theosophical So
ciety, yesterday by E. V. Brookshire.
The basis Of Fox's religion, the lecturer
said, was a realization that God governs
the life Of every evolved individual. Upon
this realization he directed his way of
life. He regarded himself as especially
sent to preach the word Of God to the
world. and to point out that man can see
things only by such light as is within
himself. The true man alone, therefore,
has the capacity to sense divine truth.
The purity of his life and fearlessness
of character earned for Fox the respect
of al with whom he came in contact, ac-
cording to the lecturer.
