Mr. Harding Hu Hade Theowrto' Study and wa» a Fupil of Blav»t»ky— He Hai Delivered Four Lecturfi*
Here—He Hakes Out a Case of Much Interest.
Mr. Burcham Harding, who lectured at
the
Court House Thmsday and Friday nights, spoke at the Christian church .vice Sunday. In the morning his subject was, "Theosophy, the Religion of -T'-si's There was quite a good audience out to hear him. Among other things he said: "It has been stated previously tuat karma and reincarnation i?e tbe only basis for ethics. Two codes of ethics prevail today that of business and politics, wuiwti is the one maiBly followed and tutu of the teachings of Jesus, whieh is professed, but not practiced. Practice a~d profession are thus directly opposed to each other. The reason for this anomalous state of things is not far to seak. 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 fppr of hell and a personal devil, or an eternity of bliss in a heaven which could be purchased, was substituted. 1 ear of p^rfj 'jal punishment, or hope of a personal reward, were made the reasons for rijjUt conduct, both being selfish and ignoring the spiritual nature of man. "A further reason was the conflict between science and theology. The latter arrogp.ted to itself the sole right to scientific knowledge. It put forward a mechanical system of salvation, and to suit it.) 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 end amid the strife and angry feelings engendered, religious teachings were abandoned entirely 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 IK 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 ana successtai financier must be able to hold his own in spite of law', courts or interference of legislation. This means corruption in high qnnxters. Success is the measure of right. A man is called 'shrewd' who can rob others and avoid puoishment. Conventionality has clothed vice to appear and be accepted as virtue and made it respectable. For the sake of revenue governments encouraged traffic destructive of morality. In business the end justifies th« means. False representations are freely rsed to get the better of a competitor, or 10 make a sale. Gold is the God, and whatever tends to obtain it is considered right. "The other code of ethics is that of Jesus, based on karma and reincarnation, &ari only to be understood in the light of these laws, for they are absolute unerring justice. -Jesus inculcated a gospel of love and helpfulness toward all, the opposite of competition. The late Prof. Huxley's words on the 'practice of virtue' should be recorded. In place of ruthless selfassertion it demands self-restraint in place of thrusting aside or treading out all competitors it requires that the individual shall not merely respect, but shall help his fellows its influence Is directed not so much to the survival of the fittest as of the fitting of as many as possible to survive. It repudiates the gladiatorial theory of existeiice. iorm a man termed atheist and

Mosaic law of retaliation, or an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth,' was to be abolished by the new law of love. Jesus said: 'Resist not evil. Turn the other cheek if struck. If sued, give up thy cloak in addition to thy coat. Give when asked, and refuse not. Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which persecute you.' "SiTch are the teaching*, but how many practice them today? Do we turn the other cheek when struck? Why are there law courts in Christian countries? Are the ©iiori»,vi8 armies and navies of Christian Eur- n- to love their enemies with? Wbat mi the severe competion among fe!low-m'»
la
this country? Do we try
to help ose who persecute us? An English bishop has said that the teachings of Jesus are impracticable today. Jesus added to the Mosaio law of exact retribution law of love, substituting love as the fulfillment of the old law of retaliation. "Jesus eaid 'Love yeur enemies.' It can hardly be said that many professlag Christians put this precept into practice. When explained in the light of karma, it is keen to be the best policy. No one can be an enemy unless In the past he has received some injury at our hands to
make Mm such, for there can be no vf without cause. Perhaps we robbed another in the put, and the law must be fulfilled by his robbing us.' Instead of waiting for this retaliation, 'Jesus said, 'Love your enemies that is, do him some goed, and thus obviate the necessity® for his robbing us. 'Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him,* and so avoid the effect*of karma. By the practice of kindly acts, enemies cease to be such, and friends are made for all time. Thus is the teachingb of Jesus justified by karma.
THE LAW PROTECTS US.
"The law also protects us from unde served wrongs. No one could nnjuatly strike us, or take away our goods by law, unless something done by us in the past called for it to happen. It is beat, 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 re turning 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 {the aspersions of the English bishop, demonstrating these to be the highest ethical doctrines. In another place Jesus is re corded as saying: "Judge not, that ye be not jadged. 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 law 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 what ever we do to others they must do the same to us. Love must be returned by love, hate by hate, injustice by Injustice, cruelty by cruelty. If we desire just and generetu treatment it must be rendeeed to ethers. 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 most need Man is not here merely to make and to spend money, to eat and .drink and be buried, but to gain experience whilst doing these things. The struggles of life teach selfcentrol and build up the character, that eventually we may be so strong that the soul is emancipated from earthly temptations "Karma demonstrates that whilst nations and individuals continue in wrong doing a harvest of suffering and misery is being prepared. i.'he law is no respecter of nations or individuals. Conventional glosaes and veneering of vice to call it virtue will be unmasked in the search light of karma and each will bring ita exact return of suffering. "We do ignoble things and think no one knows but karma. The automatic law will find us out, there is no escape from the results of actions and thoughtf."
Mr. Harding spoke to another fine audice last night on "What Follows After Death." Mr. Harding has been much pleased with Greenfield and his reception and favorable hearing while here.
Big Bale of Floor.
On Friday Ham, L. Strickland adver tised a special sale of flour, and as a result .sold over 8,000 pounds. We consider this a large sale. Mr. Strickland was in the newspaper busi ness for many years and knows the value of printers ink. If any business man in tbe city is comteplating a special or any other kind of sale, don't forget that the REPUBLICAN has a large circulation.
Was Not Fare.
An Alabama railroad has been sued or $10,000 because one of its conductors kissed a passenger against her will. Such a kiss was hardly fare.—Ex.
No, it was not "fare," but as the suit was brought against the railroad instead of the company, the company will not rail about it.

Another Plaining Mill.
Work on the new plaining mill of Jerome Black was commenced today. It will be erected on the lot just west of the straightwood desk factory. When this mill is in operation, Greenfield will be well supplied with plaining mills, having already two good plants.
