CONVERTED IN STRANGE WAY
Woman Led 70 Gee eeauties Of Chris.
tlanIty Through Advice Given
BY 1rahmin Theosophist.

How woman was converted to
Christianity by Brahmin Is told in
the Boston Herald by Miss Lillian Free
man Clarke.
Celia Thaxter, the poetess, was an
earnest student Of strange and mys-
tical teachings. At one time She was
much dominated by the teachings Of
John Weiss, and she did not appreci-
ate the beauty and power Of the Bible.
She saw good deal Of Hindu
theosophist named Mohini, and under
his guidance came to regard herself
as theosophist.
One day she said to her friend, Mary
ously of such a person? ought not
to- for one of the principles of the
osophy is to feel no contempt for any
human being"
Mi.s- Parkman replied: But did
not Jesus teach that? Is it not all In
the Sermon on the Mount?"
BY and by Mohini himself happened
to get hold of copy Of the New Tes-
lament, and was much surprised and
impressed by the beauty Of it's con-
tents. He spoke of it to Mrs. Thaxter,
and found 10 his amazement that she
knew nothing about the New Tesla
ment.
WHAT" he said. you do not read
your own religious books? never
heard anything more beautiful than
this"
Mrs. Thaxter forthwith began to
read the New Testament and became
so much interested In it that she went
about with a copy In her pocket
whenever she had chance she woulo
read it. From that time she began TO
attend Phillips Brooks church. she
was converted to Christianity by
Brahmin theOsOphist!
