flags of all nationalities significant of the universal brotherhood which is the chief and primal note of theosophy Banners giltedged and mottoed were likewise hung at intervals along the stage CRUSADE AND ITS EFFECTS I H T Patterson the crusader from New York presided First the band played and then L T Woods was introduced in-troduced and gave an exploitation of The Crusade and its Effects Its first effect he sid was the harmonizing har-monizing of opinion among men in sections sec-tions distantly removed I forged between be-tween them the link of a common feeling feel-ing I surrounded the world with the cord of brotherhood making it possible to bring in touch the minds of all mankind whose hearts beat in the interest in-terest of suffering humanity The second result was the removal of prejudice concerning theosophy and Its work and the great spirit of relationship re-lationship among the human race MRS CLEATHER Mrs Cleather was the next speaker and her addres was as to The Reality of Brotherhood Selfsacrifice she said was the greatest attribute in man I forms a part she continued of our own evolution and when we suffer i is selfishness that lies at the root oft of-t Placing himself without the harmony I har-mony of natures law brings suffering upon man Yet whilf we are endurlnir pain we are learning the operation of law and the operation of our own natures na-tures The child in burning Its fingers learns something which it will never forget We have broken the law of brotherhood and conseQuent we are destined to suffer But there Is a great future before the human race DIVINE TEACHERS Rev Mr Williams ot England after a further selection by the stringed orchestra or-chestra explained who were the Divine Di-vine Teachers of the past Theosophy Theoso-phy he claimed was not a new sect As a response to criticisms of his religious re-ligious attitude he asserted the right to assimilate all truth from whatever source relating to the higher ex I igtence Referring to divine teachers he said I that Buddha of the grandest was one gndest j I souls that had ever lived He had forsaken i for-saken the comforts of luxury the I honors of a kingly throne in order to poor devote his whole life to benefiting the I Ramah theBramln he model of unselfishness un-selfishness had been oije of the worlds great teacher Later came Jesus Christ the chiefest of them all and he had voiced the dominant note of his teachings when he said that by this ye shall know them that ye love one another Coming to divine teachers of later date he spoke of Michael Cervltas who went to the stake uncomplainingly and the great Germanphilanthropist Tiefty who did wondrous good to his countrymen No one continued Mr Williams can work for mankind without benefiting bene-fiting himself I is a sublime thought that we can take up the work where they left off and help to rear the great temple wherein all will worship In the spirit of brotherhood There were also two other great teachers of more recent times Madam Mad-am Blavatsky and William Q Judge whose memories would grow green long after their traducers had ceased from the memory of the people The presence of these men in the world tonight taught that the world was never left without some great teacher to illuminate them An evolution evolu-tion was going on gradually and men would after a time come to know that there Is a better and dearer life than this and that it is best for all men to live in brotherhood The karma and reincarnation the most entertaining dogma in the theosophy i the-osophy theory was discussed by Mr Patterson The soul he said was an immortal thing and consequently i could have had no becinninsr and would have no end The conception was that the soul did not come tnerely for a brief time but visited the earth over and over again The idea of karma he continued is that we must settle our accounts either in this life or in I a future one Present conditions condi-tions are largely governed by past conduct This belief will advance the people by showing them what it is necessary for them to do The doctrine Is taught in the NeW Testament I is said of John the Baptist that he was the Elijah which was to come again Modern scientists were frequently agnostics ag-nostics Yet they recognized something some-thing working in matter That something some-thing was progressive and was carnation carna-tion ci reincarnation The belief to was necessary explain divine justice Without i it was impossible im-possible to see the justice in the death of a small child The center of life lives eternally under different forms MRS TINGLEY Mrs Katherine A Tingley was then introduced as the great leader of the movement and spoke briefly She referred re-ferred in a genral way to the higher and lower nature and predicted that great glory would come upon the peo vie when mens minds were liberated from creeds and dosmas A meeting to which the public iJ invited in-vited will be held tonight in the Realty block 227 South West Temple street I will be given by the Salt Lake society of theosophists and the I visitinz crusaders will be present I |
