MAN AS SEEN
BY THE0S0PHIST
"The Path of Rebirth," Sub
ject-o Miss McQueen's
Lecture Monday.

THE Path Of Rebirth" was the sub
ject Of a lecture given Monday night
by Miss Annie C. Mcqueen. a theosophi-
cal lecturer from New York. at the First
Congregational church. corner Williams
and Rio Grande streets.
Man is a spirit; he has a mind, he
has a soul. he has a body; as spirit, he
is a part of the great universal spirit
which is the source Of all life. all love.
all intelligence, the threefoId conscious
ness of God. as nina ne becomes man,
for man is derived from the word
'manas or mind" she said soul rs that
part Of mans constitution which mani
tests as emotion. as sensation body is
made up Of bones, muscles. a circula-
tory system and nerves The highest
power Of the physical body is its nerv-
Gus system.
Forces Back or Evolution.
The spirit IN man is that which
makes him unit with the force back
of all evolution; it is the perennial
spring of life which presses from
latency into activity. through his mind
soul and body All evolution is an
awakening from latency into activity
a making manifest in the outer world
Of that which exists in the inner.
The work of the human kingdom IS
the evolution OF the mind and all that
intellect has and can show forth on
wears the human form. 1t is evident
that life Of so or even 100 years is not
sufficient to bring out in every man
: that which has been demonstrated by
all man, nor have all men made evident
al the intellectual possibilities Of the
human race.
The scheme Of Evolution.
1.-THE kingdom of man takes a log
ical place I'm the scheme OF evolution.
it must follow the law which has been
proved by science TO exist in the lower
kingdoms. and that is the passage Of
the growing consciousness from
vegetable and the animal, the pro-
cesses are analysed and explained
and the evolution Of the man
from the monkey is an accepted fact,
but the further evolution Of man into
the angel is left for the metaphysical
and the occultist until science produces
the evidence which shall make the ar
gument inc0mbatable- That win come
in time, for na lures guardians find
ways to hasten discoveries and the
Photographic plate and the X-ray are
only on the early stages Of their reve-
lations.
East Ahead of West.
In the East the link between man
and the ape has been for centuries an
accepted fact. as well as many other
phases Of evolution which in the West
are just coming into recognition There
they tell us-Of the evolution Of the ele-
ments-ether.. air fire, water, earth
as preceding that Of the mineral king
dom. and after explaining the human
method Of progress as being achieved
by dying out Of form after form and a
rebirthinE into other forms. they show
US the further expansion of conscious
ness as the evolution Of the angel from
man The kingdom of superhuman man
carries the life wave back 10 God
through the evolving form OF the
angel and the archaugel- This complete
circle Of evolving LIE and form is far
more satisfactory than the material
hale circle Of the western science
Mind SOuI. Body
All the powers OF mind soul and
body find a rational solution In this
path of rebirth and give us a wider
view Of a universe where wisdom and
ignorance. virtue and vice, joy and s0r-
row. have been and viii be common 10
all men i'm the great school of expert
ence which forces the human kingdom
TO do its duty in evolving intellect
This path OF rebirth or passage from
the inner TO the outer world and from
