{{Style S-Small capitals|A public}} meeting in connection with the first anniversary of the Prayag Psychic Theosophical Society was held at Allahabad at 5 {{Style S-Small capitals|p.m.}}, on Wednesday, the 22nd instant. All the leading European and Native gentlemen of the station were present on the occasion. They evinced a great interest in the Theosophical movement, and many questions about Theosophical matters were asked by the audience, who very much appreciated the remarks of Mr. Sinnett, the Editor of the ''Pioneer'', who occupied the chair. We hope to publish a short account of the meeting in an early issue. | {{Style S-Small capitals|A public}} meeting in connection with the first anniversary of the Prayag Psychic Theosophical Society was held at Allahabad at 5 {{Style S-Small capitals|p.m.}}, on Wednesday, the 22nd instant.

{{Style S-Small capitals|Sir,}}—Every one who has intelligently watched the progress of the Theosophical movement in this country is bound to admit that a great good has resulted from it to the country, and that to some extent it has succeeded in rolling the tide of denationalization backwards. It is ridiculous to deny that this movement is spreading among the people with wonderful rapidity. We think the Theosophical Society is justly entitled to demand the devotion of all interested in preserving the national life of India. Under these circumstances, it is painful to find some of our countrymen raising their impious hands with parricidal fury to give a secret stab to the noble cause of Theosophy in this country. The position of these men it is not easy to understand. If the Theosophical Society or its leaders are weighed in the balance, and found wanting, why not make the result of the experiment public? For Theosophy affects a large body of our countrymen. But when one finds these ''soi-disant'' censors of public movement, shun the light of the day, and under cover of private friendship dig dangerous pitfalls in the way of such a movement of national utility, one can scarcely avoid some amount of suspicion as to the sincerity of their motives. Dante’s advice ''guarda'' & ''parsi''—is no doubt a safe thing to follow in matters of this kind; but an apostate from the Society had one such mischief in the chief towns of the Punjab and Behar that it is absolutely impossible to let it pass unnoticed. Thanks to the virtuous indignation of this Brutus who claims to love truth more than he loved the Theosophical Society, but who, strangely enough, when speaking of the Founders of the Society, forgets the duty he owes to her at the last-named place—Bankipore. Many persons, in sympathy with the Society, desisted from joining it because it was under its present leaders!!! Now this, indeed, is too much, and one acquainted with the real facts of the matter can scarcely look with equanimity upon the unabashed host of misrepresentations which is thus drawn up in array before one; more specially when one remembers that the father of this brood is not quite sure that his statement in a recent number of the ''Hindu Patriot'' about a brother of his is free from the charge he would fain bring against others; for we know it is false. Unles the ex.-F. T. S. leaves the Society strictly alone, or publicly makes his charges good, some of his former brother—members will find it worth their while to take up the quarrel, and leave him naked indeed. One capable of sending under editorial cover in a laudatory hymn, published in the ''Hindu Patriot'', a flagrant lie in connection with his own brother—a Pundit now in Europe—is well capable of telling like untruths about those he honors with his dislike. I for one ''give him the lie direct'' with respect to this false statement (which will be pointed out when necessary) and challenge him to disprove me. I repeat, unless he leaves our Society and its founders alone, his own falsehoods will be publicly exposed by several of his ex-brother members. | {{Style S-Small capitals|Sir,}}—Every one who has intelligently watched the progress of the Theosophical movement in this country is bound to admit that a great good has resulted from it to the country, and that to some extent it has succeeded in rolling the tide of denationalization backwards.

The ''Theosophist''<sup>5</sup> for October contains an account of the curious movement, part spiritualistic, part heretical, part mystic, now being conducted by Colonel Olcott in the island of Ceylon. We are not quite sure that we ought not to add “part Buddhistic” to the above description. Colonel Olcott and his friends are clearly at war with orthodox Christianity, but it is not so clear whether they mean to remould Vedism, or what they quite mean when declaring their opposition to materialism. | The ''Theosophist''<sup>5</sup> for October contains an account of the curious movement, part spiritualistic, part heretical, part mystic, now being conducted by Colonel Olcott in the island of Ceylon.
