The correctness of this doctrine was often ascertained by modern occultists, and is once more shown as something above a mere plausible conjecture just at present. A correspondent of our contemporary, the ''Indian Mirror'', {{Page aside|452}}writing from Italy (see issue of March 31, 1883), tells us that it has been his good fortune since he came to Florence:
The correctness of this doctrine was often ascertained by modern occultists, and is once more shown as something above a mere plausible conjecture just at present. A correspondent of our contemporary, the ''Indian Mirror'', {{Page aside|452}}writing from Italy (see issue of March 31, 1883), tells us that it has been his good fortune since he came to Florence:


{{HPB-CW-comment|view=center|To meet with a gentleman from Philadelphia, in the United States who has written a work, entitled “''The Religion of the Future,” which is still in manuscript''. This gentleman, the author, was brought up as a Quaker, but would not be considered orthodox by that body now. His opinions have been modified so materially by his travels in England, Germany, and elsewhere, as to make him quite heretical.}}

It is the brief summary of the manuscript of ''The Religion of the Future''—as given by the correspondent—that attracted our attention. The name of the Quaker gentleman is not mentioned; but had we been told that the work was written by our “Lay Chela,” who, with regard to the fundamental doctrines explained by him, is the faithful amanuensis of one of the Himalayan Masters—we would have accepted it as a matter of fact. It is most probable that when ''The Religion of the Future'' is read in its completeness, there will be found more than one page and chapter, perchance, that will appear to the correctly-informed occultist as grotesque and heterodox. Yet though it may sin in its details, it is perfectly correct in its essential features as far as we understand it. Let our students of occult science judge.
