THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
LAST EVENING’S LECTUREMiss Horne delivered her fourth Thcosophical lecture in Wootton s rooms last evening to a- good audience. After disposing of the old idea, of an anthropmorpliia devil, as tho enemy of mankind, Miss Horne: proceeded to show that “A Man’s enemies are of jus own household,” and that temptation came from within, the matter of the subtler pianos of the universe was of two kinds. A very unevolved' type called elemental esse use, and a 'highly evolved type. Man, belonging as he does to the higher evolutions, ought to •build his subtler bodies of the highest typo, but-, when ho indulges in the coarser passions, emotions, and desires, and gratifies them, lie draws into his subtler vehicles great quantities of the elemental matter which, by 'its coarse undulations drags him down to its own level, and appears to war against his higher aspirations. Man, should endeavor to aid liis-evolution by starving out the elemental matter by non-indulgence.
