VEDANTA LECTURE.

At the Masonic Hnll, Boulcott Streef:, last evening, a locturo was given by Sister Avabamia, exponent of Vcdanth on "Tho Power of Mind and Letters." Tho speaker stated that all ife, all matter, everything in the universe, is contained in sound. The Hindus, she added, regarded tho syllabus OM or A I'M as having concentrated in them (he supremo force of the universe, so mighty that they fear to utter it. So much is embodied, ill this one syllable that oven its mention by 0110 who is selfish, or wicked, or dangerous in any way intensifies those qualities. If they wish to become forces for the uplifting of humanity, and dweir upon this syllable, they rally about them all the forccs which tend in that diroc* tion. Thought, put into spoken words, is a power put into ceaseless motion. What people talk of goes out into tho ether, and its vibrations are carried on. and on until thejr meet a ssutl that contres these vibrations in itself, and they are then transmuted into new force.. As the snake curves itself, and goes in a, waving line over the ground, so do the vibrations of sound travel through the atmosphere. Breathing will intensify 01 . modify all our powers as the case may be. If people did but know how, they could combine the letters of their names with the power that is embodied in tho universe, and could so harmonise themselves with it, that they would becomn. immense forces, both in their external contact with the world, and in the world of tho spirit. A lecture for ladies only is to be gives in the Masonic Hall this afternoon.
