DiHsensiona among the powers prevented the scheme on his recovery, and now he is dead, with this great desire of his zealous soul unaccomplished, after more than fotty years of weary labor in Africa for the wretched natives. Cardinal Lavigerie, even as the physical man, was a magnificent type. He was six feet ten inches in height and well built. His flowing beard of silvery whiteness gave a touch of patriarchial dignity to bis kindly face, with its well cut feat ures.

Among these r^ys of impart d wisdom— hese hints of sr prcms scienc —are the followmg three teachings in particular: . 1. The spirii of man is a spark of One Eternal Existence; and this spark has to pass through various fonos, va ious lives, various lung-protracted incarnations; until, by good use ot probation, it merits a^ Horpiion i »to reality, or, by bad nsc, sinks down into aunihilution. Mb tempsycboses aud re-incarnations go on for centuries, so that the prospect of the Theosophsst i*» a long one, stretching po-eibly over several thous ands of ye^irs, 2.
