ISUKUHAM HARDINO TAI.KS ON THJfi SUL'JKCr AT THE CHllISTIAN CHUltCH SUNDAY.

Mr. nardlng Has Made Theosophy a Life Study and was a Pupil cl Blavatsky— He Has Delivered Four Lectures

Here—He Makes Out a Case of Much Interest. Mr. Burcham Harding, who lectured at the Court House Thursday and Friday nishts, spoke tit the Christian church twice Sunday. In the morning his subject was, "Theosophy, the Religion of Jesus.'' There was quite a good audience out to hear him. Among other things he said: "It has been stated previously that karma and reincarnation give the only basis for ethics. Two codes of ethics prevail today that of business and politics, which is the one maiBly followed and that of the teachings of Jesus, which is professed, but not practiced. Practice and profession are thus directly opposed to each other. The reason for this anomalous state of things is not far to seek. The ignorant monks of the sixth century cut out reincarnation and karma from the teachings, and with them the true basis for ethics was lost. In their place fear of hell and a personal devil, or an oternity of bliss in a heaven which could be purchased, was substituted. Fear of personal punishrpent, or hope of a personal reward, were made the reasons for right conduct, both being selfish and ignoring the spiritual nature of man. "A further reason was the conflict between science and theology. The latter arrogated to itself the sole right to scientific knowledge. It put forward a mechanical system of salvation, and to suit its narrow dogmas, enforced belief in a special creation 6,000 years ago, and that the world was a flat surface, and all mankind sprang from one pair. Science demonstrated that these kindred teachings were incorrect, resting only on the authority of human theologians, who had placed a literal interpretation upon biblical symbology. In the conflict and amid the strife and angry feelings engendered, religious teachings were abandoned entirely by scientists and they formulated a utilitarian standard of ethics. The survival of the fittest competition, and a political economy based on selfishness as its ultimate law were the foundation stones.

CODE IN PRACTICE TODAX.

This is the code in practice today. Competition, not to help, but to eradicate our fellow man, is the keynote. Everything is right until it is found out. In politics, laws are passed, only to be violated. An eminent and successful financier must be able to hold his own in spite of law, courts or interference of legislation. This means corruption in high quarters. Success is the measure of right. A man is called 'shrewd' who can rob others and avoid punishment. Conventionality has clothed vice to appear and be accepted as virtue and made it re&pec-

.. ICG. ''Jesus inculcated a gospel of love and V-Tnfulness toward all, the opposite of eoHpctition. The late Prof. Huxley's words on the 'practice of virtue' should be recorded. In place of ruthless self assertion it demands self-restraint in place '•trusting aside or treading out all competitors it requires that the individual .-•hall not merely respect, but shall help his fellows its influence is directed not so •:cT". the survival of the fittest as of fUt'^g of as many as possible to survive. It repudiates the gladiatorial theory of existence. •Thi3 form a man termed atheist and agnostic! Let us endeavor to understand the ethical basis of what Jesus taught, as intorpreted by karma and reincarnation. "T he beatitudes are based on karma. 'Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy,' an effect following a cause, anc! the same applies to the other deatitudes. The Mosaic law of retaliation, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,'was to be abolished by the new law of lore. Jesus said: 'Resist not evil. Turu the other cheek if struck. If sued, give up thy cloak in addition to thy coat. Give when asked, and refuse not. Love 3 our enemies, do good to thsm that hate you, and prny for them which persecute you.'-: "Such are the teaching?, but how many practice them today? Do we turn the other cheek when struck? Why are there iaw courts in Christian countries? Are the enormous armies and navies of Christian Europe to love ue enemies with? What means the severe competion among fellow-men in this country? Do we try to help those who persecute us? An English bishop has said that the teachings of Jesus are impracticable today. Jesus added to the Mosaic law of exact retribution the iaw of love, substituting love as the fulfillment of the old law of retaliation. "Jesus said 'Lore y*ur enemies.' It can hardly be said that many professing Christians put this precept into practiee. When explained in the light of karma, ir iz ieen to be the best policy. No one can be an enemy unless in the past be

Wiiiting

some injury at our hands to

for this retaliation, Jesus said,

'Love your enemies that is, do him some good, and thus obviate the necessity^ for his robbing us. 'Agree with thine adversary qaickly, while thou arc in the way with him,' and so avoid the effects of karma. By the practice of kindly acts, enemies cease to be such, and frienda are made for all time. Thus is the teachings oi! Jesus justified by karma.

THE LAW PROTECTS US.

"The law also protects us from undeserved wrongs. No one could nujustly strike us, or take away our goods by law, unless something done by us in the past called for it to happen. It is best, therefore, to settle the whole account at once, and if more than one blow is due, or a legal adversary is entitled to our coat in addition to the cloak, let them go now, instead of deferring the matter. Those now persecutiag or hating us are but returning what we have done to them in this life or in a former one. By doing good to them and praying for them the persecution and hatred toward us will be lessened. "Karma and reincarnation thus vindicate the precepts of Jesus from jthe aspersions of the English bishop, demonstrating these to be the] highest ethical doctrines. In another place Jesus is recorded as saying: Judge not, that ye bo. not judged. For with what judgment

ye judge ye shall^be judged and"~with what measures you mete it shall be measured to you again.' This is a clear statement of belief in the immutability of the lu,*r os karma. No shifting of the results of wrongdoing upon his shoulders, or upon those of any one but the wrongdoer. Consider the 'golden rule' in the light of karma. 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, that also do unto them.' This is not a mere] injunction to tell us how to act toward others, but is the statement of the law, for whatever we do to others they must do the same to tis. Love must be returned by love, hate by hate, iujustice by injustice, cruelty by cruelty. If we desire just and generous treatment it must be rendeeed to others. Paul wrote 'Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.' To reap happiness the seeds of it must be sown. As interpreted by karma and reincarnation' life ceases to be a mystery, nothing happens by chance, but as the result of our own acts and thoughts in this or in previous lives. "Present conditions have been made by ourselves in the past, but within these conditihns we possess free will to build the future. "Daily occupations are the means for gaining the experience we mobt need. Man is not here merely to make and to spend money, to eat and drinjk and be buried, but to gain experienc|s whilst doing these things. The struggles of

Convention.!! and veneering ot vice to call it virtue will be unmasked in the search light of karma and each will biing it? urn of suffering. "We do ignoble things and think ho one but karma.

Mr. Harding spoke to another fine audirc List night on "What Follows After Death." Mr. Harding has been much pleased with Greenflela and reception and favorable hearing while here,
