HOOb RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1904. WORLD'S EVIL DUE TO SELFISHNESS "Theosophy and Its Bearing Upon Life" was the title of a lecture delivered last Saturday in Carmieliael hall by Mrs Louise Goddard. The lecture was well attended, and the words of the speaker iibieneu 10 attentively, mere was a recitation by Miss Mienon Abbott.when Mrs. Goddard explained the philosophy 01 me i neosopiiists. Biie spoke m pan as ioiiows : Theosophy is not, as many suppose.an ism, a new doctrine, with dogmas and creeds ; on the other hand it teaches that the true interpretation of, and the living up to the religions already extant would lift the world into a vastly higher moral and spiritual plane oi oeing. ineosophy lias no dogmas to present; knowledge can come through reason only. The one object of Theosophy is the uplifting and perfecting of the race. It holds that the purpose of life is exper ience and it seeks to prove thaw what' ever experience we are called upon to pass through, call we it good or evil, is a neceesary step in the path o! our evo lution. It rejects the belief oi the spe cial creation of souls at the moment of birth in a physical body as impractical and devoid of proof. On the other hand the teaching that all spirit was. created in the beginning is borne out by all the laws on nature both physical and spit itual for Nature has a spiritual as well as a physical. All tpirit was in the be ginning perfect, bui negatively so: and must manifest through matter in order to reach positive perfection. Hence all the diversified forms of life represent the spiritual unfoldment through mat ter. Theosophy iH the philosophy of the soul; it treats on the nature of God, and the laws which govern our being; it teaches the relation of man to God and the relation of man to man. Theosophy is occult because its sci ence deals much with the inner, hidden nature of man. It teaches that man is constantly evolving from lower to high er planes; gradually progressing through life's experience; that in the dual aspect of his nature one face is turned toward the divine, which is its essence, and the other face is turned toward matter which he has come to dominate or subdue; it tenches that the mind is dual, that this aspect consists of a higher and a lower mind the rational or discriminating mind, and the lower, which is the ani mal soul the animal soul in man; that in this dual nature we have the aspect w hich is turned to ttie brute to train it and we have the aspect which is turned toward the spirit and strives ever up ward for union with the purely divine the God in man strugging with the brute that the brute itself may become divine. It teaches that the same God nature pervades all men ; that in the higher as pect of his nature, man is a manifest tion of the divine, and thus, are all men are essentially one; all are inter-related inter-depenuent ana that jsrotherhood is a fact in Nature and not a theory. Theosophy abolishes the cause of all the sin and most of the misery of life. That cause is selfishness. Kvery form of dishonesty, violence, outrage, fraud, even discourtesy comes from the desire to promote one s ends even at the sacri fice of others. All aggression upon fellownien,all efforts to belittle,outBhine or humiliate them, express the feeling that selfgratiheation is to be sought be' fore all else. This is equally true of personal vices as well as that of personal contempt for divine authority which we call impiety. Hence the root of all evil conduct toward God, toward other men, or toward one's self is self love; self love so strong as to sacrifice every thing rather than its own indulgence. Now this is what Theosophy enjoins ; its cardinal doctrine is the absolute equality of human rights and the uni versal obligation to respect them. If my neighbors' possessions of feelings, prosperity, happiness, what not are as much to be respected and regarded as are mine, and I feel that, I shall not in vade them. Still more, if I perceive the true fraternity of man, if I realize that the richest pleasure comes from giving, rather than receiving good, I shall not be passively unaggressive, I Bhall be actively beneficent. In other words I shall be a true philanthropist, and in being this I shall have gained the high est reach of happiness to self. To the mind trained in the deeper philosophies of life, and observant of the laws of beneficent Nature there is nothing starting or strange in the doc trine of re-incarnation. It would seem indeed but a natural sequence of the laws of evolution, While Darwin taught that the phys ical man evolves through all the king doms of nature from the mineral to the human, Theosophy teaches the evolu tion of the spirit through all the diff erent forms of life. At the change called death, the phys ical form disintegrates and goes again to the elements that nurtured it. The spirit or Ego is born again and again in newer forms. As a worn out garment is cast aside for one more fitting, so the Kgo, having exhausted its field of opera tion in a form which can no longer serve its purpose yields it back to nature and conies again in another, and in en vironments and amid conditions more suited to its advancement in life's ex periences. Evolution cannot cease with man ; it must also be the law in the un seen world. Man becomes a god. Thus evolution is shown to have an object instead of being aimless; and na ture credited with being just instead of unjuBt. Immortality means not only that man must go on living forever in one form or another, but that he' has always lived, for life is a circle without beginning and without end. The Theosophical Society seeks to find the good in all ; it inculcates the spirit of tolerance and love. It asks no one to give up his religion or church, but to give up selfishness and to practice al truism. The one principle it ever insists upon is the unity of all life, a realization of which would lo away with all eelfish ness, as it further insists that selfish nest is the root of all sin and sorrow. Sells Out to Come to Hood River. J. W. Conkliu of Kirksville, Mo., renews his subscription to the Glacier and writes that he has been delayed in Btarting for Hood Kiver, owing to mat ters connected with the sale of a big ranch at Garden City, Kansas. A clip ping from the Garden City Imprint has th following lo say of the sale of Mr. IVinklin'sland: "One of the largest land sales ever made in this part of the state was closed this week. The Conklin ranch of 22.000 acres, was sld to W. H. Guthrie of Iowa. J. M. Conklin has been very successful in getting together this body of land which i- as fine a combination of gra& jng, farming, meaxlow and alfalfa land on a large t-cale, as can be found in the Arkansas Valley and the advance in values gives him a very handsome profit. "Mr. Conklin and family expect to return to the coast and will probably etllet some point in Oregon. Our best wishes and the Imprint go with them, but we regret to have such excel Lu families leave our midst. "Shiill and Lawrenee conducted the fa of the ranch. Mr. Guthrie will move to Garden City and will engage in peop Noni in stock raising on an extensive scale." Mr. Conklin expects to come west and locate at Hood River in the spring. The Glacier.be says, "is equal to any country town weekly I have ever read. ' Pretty Home Wedding.

The building will be completed April 1, 1905. Governor Mickey of Nebraska was a recent visitor in Portland, and expressed himself as surprised at the advanced stage of the preparations for the Lewis and Clark centennial, ihe governor said that he was heartily in favor of a generous participation in the fair by bis state. The Congregational Cadet corps of Eureka, Cat., has set plans on foot to combine healthful exercise and secure profitable training, experience and knowledge, by marching 100 strong, to Portland next June to attend the Lewis and Clark centennial. President Goode will present the boys with a handsome silk banner commemorative of their visit. Idaho women have shown their inter est in the Lewis and Clark centennial by voting to move $1000 worth of fine furniture, purchased by the federation of women's clubs, from the Idaho build- ng at the St. Louis world s fair, to Portland.

Life, color, demonstration and motion will be features of the exhibits at the Lewis and Clark exposition. Not only will the finished products be shown in attractive installation but the processes by which they are made will be shown as well. Beware of Counterfeits.
