MRS. HARRIET T. BARTLETT National field lecturer of the Amer lcan branch, Theosophy, who lectured at Cable hall last night, and who will deliver addresses tomorrow afternoon and Monday night.
 rscience does not contradict the Bible. Cn the contrary, science is proving it to be true" That is the opinion of Mrs. Harriet Futile Bartlett, field lecturer for the Theosophical society, who delivered lecture at Gable hall auditorium last night on. '@The Masters and the Coming Great One.'
 When people learn to read the Bible correctly, this fact becomes clear, ac- cording to Mrs. Bartlett For ages we have read the Bible as the child would read book upon higher mathematics before it has yet learned the multiplica- tion table," she declared. sWhen we learn to read what the Bible is really stating we will find that science and re- ligion are working hand in hand to tell the race what the will of the Father is.
 These teachings in no way tear dow\ the ideals we have been taught to revere, but on the contrary they give us firm and reasonable basis for the reverence we have ben taught to have for Chris tan ideals. The Christ is not lost to us fin this book, but on the contrary we are shown how marvellous is the exalted height to which He has attained, and how wonderful is the love that has caused Him to stay with us until He can lead up into the kingdom"
 Those who heard Mrs. Bartlett on her appearance here two years ago and those who heard her lecture last night are high in praise of her. Her years of studious preparation for the work in which she is now engaged eminently fit Ter for her accepted task of removing any false ideas about what theosophy is.
 "Theosophy is, declared Mrs. Bartlett, 'an instrument with which God is awak- ening mankind to the existence of Broth grhood of. Man"
 Mrs. Bartlett will speak tomorrow aft ernoon at 3 o'clock at Cable hall on 'The Religion of the Future' Her lec- ture subject on Monday evening at s clock will be ''Theosophy and the ChurcheAs

Unemployed Soldier Problem.

Referring to the period of oeniobili
cation as the most dangerous OF the
war, Gen. wood urged practical,
kindly consideration of the proDieHl
OF unemployed soldiers, stating that
general dissatisfaction among the
discharged troops would breed what
we do not want to see in this coun-
try. They have done their work; let
as do ours.
With ''radiealism and wretched, mis-
cradle bolshevism stalking through
the country" said the Army officer
some soldiers would oner fertile
neid foE its seeds OF discomfort if they
were allowed to go home feeling that
the country had not been as thought
ful of them as was their due.
We sent them to our home camps
and overseas" he continued, with
every form of encouragement, making
them feel they were crusaders in
holy cause. Now they are coming
home, having fought in the war which
was as much our war as it was the
war of any country from the day il
began.
Some of these men, wearing the
uniform of our country, lack work
FUNDS, a place to sleep, even food.
Some of them have wasted their
money; thousands have been drugged
and robbed. Many of them are unrea-
'sonable, irritable, as a. result of shell
shock or the constant mental photo
graph before them of slaughtered hu-
man beings. But they are our soldiers
and we must return them honorably to
private life"
The general declared that men dis
charged from the training camps were
entitled to as much consideration as
those returning from Europe. He call
ed upon his audience, composed of
wealthy business men of the Methodist
faith, to lend their aid, here and
throughout the country. to the task of
providing work for every soldier In
