THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY
Taking as'his title ‘A Civilisation. Based on Brotherhood,’ Mr J. M. M'Ewan continued his talks on th* rights; duties, and privileges of man, stating that the recognition of the law of brotherhood would solve' problems of to-day in all walks of .life. Brotherhood did not imply equality of ment, though all shared the One, Life of God, but implied that all belong to one great family, the older ones sharing onerous responsibilities, such as the administration of laws, defence of the country—then the producing of th® food and cultivation of the land—while the younger ones of this vast family performed such duties as were compatible with their development, such as tilling the soil and other manual work, always under the guidance of an employer. The speaker .’illustrated bydiagram the length of time each of th® four types of humanity served in various capacities according to qualifica-i tions. People might also come under the classifiation of the three qualities of matter—viz., solidity (people attached to the production of wealth and. its right distribution), movement (people of the soldier and administrative type), and balance (people of thi teaching and religious professions).
