{{Style S-Small capitals|Mr. Sinnett}}, editor of the ''Pioneer'', author of “The Occult World,” and Vice-President of the Theosophists’ Society, is expected to attend the annual meeting of the Society in Bombay, and, we are informed, will make a statement of his views on Theosophy.

Mr. K. M. Shroff deserves well of the citizens of Bombay among whom he continues his efforts to inspire a spirit of kindliness towards animals. As honorary secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty t{{Style S-Lost|…}} Animals, he has worked since its start with unremittin{{Style S-Lost|…}} energy. But for Mr. Shroff, guided by the worthy President, the Society would not have reached its presen{{Style S-Lost|…}} position. Not content with this good work, Mr. Shro{{Style S-Lost|…}} works for the dumb creatures in another direction. An{{Style S-Lost|…}} those who witnessed the scene at the New Cloth Marke{{Style S-Lost|…}} last Sunday are of opinion that Mr. Shroff is earning th{{Style S-Lost|…}} blessings of the voiceless ones. All success to hi{{Style S-Lost|…}} humane efforts.

{{Style P-Title|The “Theosophist.”}}

{{Style S-Small capitals|The}} September number of the ''Theosophist'', recentl{{Style S-HPB SB. Restored|y}} received, completes the third volume of that uniqu{{Style S-HPB SB. Restored|e}} and interesting journal, the contents of the present number being fully up to the standard. Two letters on “Esoteric Theosophy,” by an Anglo-Indian, present an{{Style S-HPB SB. Restored|d}} explain a portion of the Occult Philosophy in an eas{{Style S-HPB SB. Restored|y}} and comprehensive manner, though they fail to carr{{Style S-HPB SB. Restored|y}} conviction to us from the fact of their being opposed to our personal experiences in the realm of spirit. A letter from a Theosophist taking exception to a portion of Col. Olcott’s address wherein he alludes to Electricity as “matter” is ably replied to by another Theosophist{{Style S-HPB SB. Restored|,}} who brings some cogent arguments in support of the Colonel’s definition.

No. 3. “Fragments of Occult Truth,” also appears in this issue, and will doubtless be read with considerable interest by Spiritualists, but being a party to the friendly controversy which appears under this heading, we think it undesirable to comment upon at present. Volume 4 commences with October number, and country friends who desire to subscribe can, by forwarding annual subscriptions to the office of this paper, have the ''Theosophist'' sent direct from India.
