, TIxub tho ridiculous idea that
' nil tho glorious nations of nhti
quity "etolo" thoir roligious no
tions from tho potty, Binning,
stiff-necked tribes of Abraham,
may hnvo been a favorito ouo with
tho old Fnthors of tho Inquisition,
who condemned Galileo for say
ing that tho earth was round and
that it turned around tho sun; but,
in tho faco of undeniable modem
discovories, they are unworthy of
a proachor of tho XlXth contury,
who assumes to teach and en
lighten men and women. Yet, it
is quito truo that "all nations
trace their light," their roligious
beliofs,l,to a samo common origin."
But that origin is not to bo found
in thoHuluow tribe, since what
thoy did gottheniBulveB thoy only
borrowed or stole (as Kov. Gurvin
might prefer) from souiees older
than themsolves, and these primi
tive sources aro those to which
Theosophy itsolf goes back, for
Thoosophy is tho essonco on
which all pant and present roli
gious hnvo been built, Christiani
ty itself being good only on ac
count of what it contains of Thoo
BOphy. 'Now comiug to tho praise bes
towed by ltov. Garvin on his own
soot, I iiuvo nothing to say about
that. But it is not quito apparent,
as a matter of history, what the
Germans did gan by following
Luther, nor can I boo that any do
cent religion could well bo proud
of such mon as Luther, Calvin
and Wesley, quoted by tho BUL
LETIN'. Luther, wo know, was a
rebellious monk who started a
"horosy," a schism, for solfish pur
poses; ho may have oporatcd a
useful reform, but ho did it out of
personal Bpite. Calvin showed
bis meek, OhriBt-like disposition,
in a most execrable manner, by
burning alivo thoso in his power,
who happened to diffor with him
on somo theological Rubtloties,and
AVeBloy was only a sol
fish egotist. As for tho
AVashingtouB,Franklins, Lincolns,
uarnelus, mentioned as groat
men, "produced by Christianity,"
me organs or "i-'roe Thought" m
New lork have long ugo estab
lished, with tho best of proofs,
that, though naturally religious
men, they were all at heart "freo
thinkers,"with no narrow sectarian
feelings, in fuct, natural Theoso
phists. IIoy about Washington
not allowing God or Christianity
to be mentioned in tho American
Constitution ? Now to finish: in
what concerns the taunt of Theo
sophists having no "schools, alms
houses and hospitals," etc., in view
of tho immense things already ac
complished by the Theosophical
Society, it is not only incorrect,
but maliciously unjust.
Now then, as a whole, in tho
presenco of Eov. Garvin's evident
misstatements, could not his
"text" by their fruits, etc.) bo
justly applied to himself, coupled
with this other, from his favorito
authority, about tho "mote and
the beam?" Kov. Gnivin and
othors like him may usefully do
fond Christianity on tho authority
of tho now Dispensation, of tho
Sormou on tho Mount; thoy aro
then on unassailable grounds'.
uut wuon tuey refer to tho Ulu
Testtimont, with all tho incon
gruities and indeconcies of its
dead-letter versions, to support
their claims, they aro no longer
Christians, they bocome JudaiBts,
and thoy will find ,that they loan
on a broken roed that will always
bend under them and Christianity.
And before they attempt to com
pare Brahmini8m, Buddhism arid
TheoBophy, they hotter go back a
few years to somo school where
thoy jCanlearn that, in the master
oiocoultiknowlodge, notovon the
Cyclopedia Britannica is a roli
iible'kuth'ority. Yours respectfully,
A. MaUQUES.
