BODY GROWS OLD.
 NOT HE REAL YOU
The Soul Is Still and Forever Young, and Life Is Ever
 lasting, Says Rogers
By MIGNoN HALL

There is no such thing as death and the real thing that is you never gow old.
 Your body totters, but your self is untouched"
 This was the closing thought pr. L. W. Rogers, national president of the Theosophical society. left with his audience last night, in the last of his series of lectures in Birmingham.
 You must be born again and yet again. And if you are punished in this life, and cannot understand the reason. rest assured you have earned that punishment by something you have done in a previous life.
 Is Due Payment
 Tt Is under this rule that one man prospers here nightly, and another fails. The man who advances so rapidly has, in previous life, earned that right to advance. He is being rewarded by nature, who always balances her books with exactitude.
 Those souls which have thought much of humanity. and done great good work in a past incarnation. are sure of reward. One is forever re- paid for all that he does-in every way.
 Adjustments
 "One does not get something for nothing. If it seems that way once. we pay back in other ways. We must. things must be exactly right.
 However, we can undo any wrong we have done-if we know the law"
 Dr. Rogers sai dthat We see only a little bit of cause and effect here. and often feel things are extremely un- just. If we could see the whole sit uation. though. we would declare the punishment quite the right thing. He illustrated You turn a corner and gee two men kicking a man about on the ground. You remark: Why the brutes--two men od one-and the man down, besides If you had been at the corner. though a moment prev iously and seen the man upon the ground. sneak thief, steal forward and jerk a diamond ring from the finger of woman, in his rudeness even tearing the skin from her finger, you would. instead, be feeling the ex- act justice of the mpunishment-with the probable inclination to join in. Thus it is In life. You are pun ished here for something you did in a previous existence. At that time you did not live long enough to pay the debt: but it is a just debt out standing. Punishment teaches you a lesson which will keep you from com hitting the same wrong again" l Dr. Rogers told the audience of the | local Theosophical society, which meets each Wednesday night at Cable hall. He declared that nobody was allowed to enter who did not believe in the principle of universal brother hood. founded on the fatherhood oi God.
