CONVERTED IN STRANGE WAY
Woman Led to See Beauties Of Chris
tianity Through Advice Given
by Brahmin Theosophist.

How a woman was converted to
Christianity by BrnhmIn is told In
the Boston Herald by Miss Lillian Free
man Clarke.
Celia ThaSter. the poetess. was an
earnest student Of strange and mys-
iical teachings. At one time she was
much dominated by the teachings of
John Weiss, and she did not appreci-
ute the beauty and power OF the Bible.
She saw good deal OF u Hindu
theosophiN named Mohini. and under
his guidance came TO regard herself
as thecsophlst.
One day she said TO her friend. Mar,
Parkman. did speak contemptu-
ously of such pcrsonf ought not
to. for one Of the principles Of the
osophy is to feel no contempt for any
human being.'
Miss Pnrkmn replied: ''l,ut did
not Jesus tench TINT? ls Il not nll In
the Sermon on the Mount?"
By and by Mohlni himself happened
to get hold Of copy Of the New Tes-
lament. and was much surprised and
Impressed by the beauty Of Its con-
tents. He spoke of Il to Mrs. Thaxter.
and found TO his aInazeinent TINT she
knew NOTHING about the New Testa-
ment.
"What ~ he said. "You do not read
your own religious books? ! never
heard anything more beautiful than
this"
Mrs. Thnxter forthwith began to
read the New Testament and became
so much interested In II that she went
about with copy In her pocket ;
whenever she had chance she would

PLAN
GREAT FLEET
10000, O00-Ton Merchant Ma
rine Aim for America.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 31.-An American
merchant marine of 100000 tons, or
about so per cent of the worlds com
mercial shipping, within three years Is
the aim toward which shipping authori-
ties are striving, it is indicated here.
The shipping would be all good bot
toms adaptable to modern trade and
would not include the smaller coastwise
ships
The present shipping board will turn
out II 800 900 tons by 1921, John H. Ros-
setter, former director of operations for
the emergency feet corporation, esti-
mated.
With this vast tonnage in sight Senator
Wesley Jones of Washington, chairman
of the senate commerce committee, with
members of the committee, is seeking to
frame constructive legislation which will
utilize this asset to the fullest extent
under the Aerican flag.
The proposed program has in view the
establishment of advantageous routes to
South American ports, the West Indies
and the Caribbean, besides many new
lines.
Shipping authorities have revealed to
congress the extent to which the big
maritime interests OF the world are rae
Ing for supremacy in the general dis
turbed conditions due to the war.
At present, 1t is said, with nearly the
same tonnage on the seas as In 1913, the
service is only 80 per cent of what 1t
was in pre-war days.
The total shipping In the world today
is 100000 lightweight tons, it is said
and the world will need 100000 tons
when the full after the-war trade boom
sets IN.
At present, it is admitted, the shipping
