THEOSOPHICAL LECTURE

Last night, at the Theooophical Ifall, Marion Street, Mr. H. Banks delivered his second lecture' on'" tlie subject B Many Lives on Earth." "Reincarnation, the usual name for this teaching," affirm iid the lecturer, "is an idea fpreading with great rapidity to-day, and largely accepted by thinkerß in the West. It haß been a cardinal truth in Eastern faiths from their Inception, though it is not taught in tho eminently sane fashion as in modern thcosopliy. It is part and parcel of the scheme of evolution, the means whereby only by .successive lives can the eoul pursue the ideal of perfection, of divine manhood, gradually unfolding his latent possibilities, assuming each lifetime a, more reflncd and responsive body, plunged in environments of a'corresponding nat"re, save where special' experience :s needed in otlicr conditions; and so at last he acquires full knowledge of the world, by means of which he becomes master thereof. Ho las wrought the -purpose through, of what am make liim. mail 1 There are souls occupying every rung of the ladder of evolution, somo have just commenced to climb, tuo primitive men; others, like ourselves, are about midway, half-grown in soul mo, while a few stand at the top, mature souls, the elder brothers of the race, who have transcended all human frailty# are per' fectly wise, loving, and strong. Thus are the inequalities of life explained, and per* feot justice is seen to rule our lives, for all shall achieve this glorious . destiny, ol ultimate perfection, given time, given a sufficient number of lives, in which to unsold as a soul from infancy to maturity.
