[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR. " ] SIR, — The Theosophical Society, or
rather that aspect of it known to the public, is an essentially human movement, having high aims but very imperfect means. Its various members have time to time made many claims and professions, for the most part perhaps of a confused and conflicting character, and the movement has no doubt become tainted (as have other movements I could mention) by assimilation with a dark and, material age. Yet it does nevertheless present to my mind one of the numerous manifestations of that great spiritual, power ever tending towards the regeneration of mankind. As to the "doctrines of the Theosophical Society," I fear we all of us are apt at times to fall into the error of supposing that we can know the doctrine without living the life.—I am, Sir, &C.,. ST. G. LANE Fox (Fellow of the Theosophical Society).
National Liberal Club, Trafalgar Square, London, July 28th..
