{{Style S-Small capitals|Among}} the Western nations a national prejudice exists which only serves to distinguish one from the other, and in its stead we find in the East something called “Caste” which has tended from its very source to degrade its peoples. This revolting idea has reached its height more in India and Ceylon than any other country. | {{Style S-Small capitals|Among}} the Western nations a national prejudice exists which only serves to distinguish one from the other, and in its stead we find in the East something called “Caste” which has tended from its very source to degrade its peoples.

In whatever light we may view ''Theosophy'' whether we regard it as a branch of science or philosophy, that has fairly stood the trial at the Bar of Truth, or a mere necromancy, a juggler’s art, there is one favourable peculiarity in its feature, which we can not fail to notice. It is the rapid progress it is making to emplant itself on the Indian heart. It has already gained much ground, and we hear that the stride of progress is not the less encouraging. On their way back from Bombay, Babus Norendro Nath Sen and Mohiny Mohan Chatterjea, visited Bankipur, and they were able to start a Branch Society there with fifteen members. This is indeed hopeful. One branch has been established at Delhi, and the country bids fair to be united in one common bond of unity through the medium of Theosophy, as civilization is giving us a net work of Railways. If there be no other evident benefit to be derived from Theosophy, what it is already doing in the shape of good to humanity, by uniting different bodies into a common neucleus, should alone recommend it to the attention of those who now judge it quite indifferently. | In whatever light we may view ''Theosophy'' whether we regard it as a branch of science or philosophy, that has fairly stood the trial at the Bar of Truth, or a mere necromancy, a juggler’s art, there is one favourable peculiarity in its feature, which we can not fail to notice.
