THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
Miss Christie, National Lecturer for New Zealand, concluded a series of lectures on Thcosophy at the society's hall, Marionstreet, on Sunday. Her subject was : "The, Life and Teachings of the Lord Buddha." Miss Christie traced the life of Gautama Buddha, and described the various experiences he pissed through in his search for truth. Born a prince and ruler, he renounced everything to serve and teach his follow-men. He affected very powerfully the people of his_ time, and even to-day more than a third of -the human race owed their moral and religious ideas to him. The eternal truths wore tho same in all religions, said Miss Christie, and the Buddha preached the good law of love and compassion to all that lived, just as his illustrious successor, tho Christ, did some 200 years later. Tho study of comparative religions is one of the objects of the Theosophical Society, in order to bring about a better understanding between nations, and so hasten the day of brotherhood among men.
