THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
There was a good attendance at the Theosophical Society's Hall, Manchester street, on Sunday evening, when Miss D. Royds delivered an address on The Mystery of Suffering." The lecturer emphasised the point that man was in these days beginning to realise himself as a soul who had lived and had myriad experiences throughout the age., By his use or m.suse of these .experiences he stood selffucUd to-day, tor his present capacities and environment were the outcome oi his sft tanking and acting. There was an inviolable law of cause and effect operatng throughout this universe, and when rightly understood it was seen to be an Sing, not ft crushing force. Just as nSn's present point in evolution was the dement of hispast actions, so his futu-e Tould depend upon his present efforts Through suffering he was roused to a sense of his true spiritual nature with its inevitable responsibilities, and enabled to gUmpse tne pian in which he must ultibe a conscious co-operator, lor generationsmen and women had been taught to think of themse.ves as miserable offenders but there was a new spirit abroad in ?v '™,J«-H to-day—a epint of self-respect and Man was learning what philoso"n aU ages tave taught, that as a STo! God. he is the master of his own destiny. __—»——»•
