within the real of practical demon
stration and scientific inquiry. The
mutual cooperation between this in
visible power and visible form is his
general thesis in a number of lectures,
but is especially dealt with under the
title given above.
Mr.. Munson believes that the pres
ent rapid advance Of science in the
realm of the invisible, through x
ray, radio-a activity and wireless, as
well as in psychology, is leading the
thinkers OF the world to the point
where many of the old mysteries and
much OF the occult lore that has been
handed down to us by the sages OF
the past can be demonstrated accord
ing to the requirements Of practical
science, which demands not theories,
but facts. On the other hand, he
tells us that those who have con-
centrated their thought and energy
on the purely metaphysical aspect OF
nature are slowly but surely coming
to find that they can stapd equally
well upon a scientific foundation. In
"The Hidden Side of Things" he tells
us that the scientist is right in what
he affirms. but is wrong when he de-
nies the work of the occultist, anc
that the occultist who derides the
solid facts of science is equally wrong
though probably right in his own CO.
main.

rebelled at his long curls, but who
satisfied himself that wearing them
was in accordance with his mothers
wishes, and no wish of hers could be
in error? Who has not thrilled at the
friendship existing between the little

7HEOSOPHY To Be
LECTURE SUBJECT

Eugene w. Munson, national lee
turer for the Theosophical society, is
expected to appear in the city to give
course of lectures on the general
subject Of Theosophy. He deals with
many of the problems of every day
life as seen by a student of occultism.
EIis scientific explanation of those
topics. generally considered occult, is
very interesting and in some respects
unique.
One of his lectures is entitled "The
Hidden Side of Things" in which he
attempts to explain the working of
invisible forces in visible forms. BY
a purely mechanical process, accord
ing to Mr.. Munson, the higher spirit
ual and occult forces build the forms
with which we are so familiar. All
the world seems to have come to rec
ognize that there is something more
than chemical action working in
forms; this invisible something sci
ence calls energy, and various schools
in the world give il their own name,
some mind. some spirit. Mr.. Nun
sons lecture is an effort to bring this
