THEOSOPHY
The Masonic Hall was crowded on Sunday night, when Miss Christie gave the fifth of a series of lectures oa Theosophy. "Through the Gates of Sleep and Death" was the subject of the address. Death, said Miss Christie, had nothing to do with the real self; it could not touch the consciousness. Death belonged to the physical body only. In many ways sleep and death were similar. During the sleep of the body the consciousness stepped, out of the body while it recuperated, but' at death it left the body permanently. It then entered on another plftise of its existence, the paradise of the 1' Bible, or the astral plane. The owner/ of the body was then one stage nearer divinity Death was truly a birth into a higher and fuller life.
