{{Style S-Small capitals|The}} Theosophical Society has lately added
itself to the list of ambitious organizations that seek to supplant
existing ecclesiastical institutions. Here is the programme of its
founders:
 
“To obtain knowledge of the nature and attributes of the
Supreme Power and of the higher spirits by the aid of physical
processes.”
 
In other words, they hope by going deeper than modern science
has hitherto done, into the esoteric philosophies of ancient
times, they may be enabled to obtain, for themselves and other
investigators, proof of the existence of an “unseen universe,”
the nature of its inhabitants, if such there be, and the laws
which govern them and their relations with mankind.
 
This work they declare is that which the Spiritualists have
neglected, the Materialists have not attempted, and the
Theologians have misunderstood and undervalued.
 
“They look in vain to the Church for such evidence of
immortality as will satisfy the exactions of a fearless reason;
in vain to her opponents for an explanation of preterhuman
experiences of mankind, from the earliest periods.”
 
Being baffled in every attempt to get the desired knowledge in
other quarters, they turn their faces toward the Orient, whence
are derived all systems of religion and philosophy. They find
our ancestors practising important arts now lost to us. They
discover them dealing with forces whose very names are now
unknown, and the simplest demonstration of whose existence is
impossible to our scientists. The President of the society is
Henry S. Olcott, known as an investigator of Spiritualism. Geo.
Henry Felt, one of the Vice Presidents, is the gentleman who
professes to have discovered the secret of the Egyptian cabala,
opening all the mysteries of the universe. Mme. H. P. Blavatsky
is another Vice President, and one of the councillors is Mrs.
Emma Hardinge Britten. The Society meets at the Mott Memorial
Library.
