Excerpt from Madame Blavatsky and Her "Theosophy" A Study Late on Thursday evening Mrs. Besant reached her home at Avenue Road, Regent's Park, after nearly five months' lecturing tour in India and Ceylon, where she has been expounding to the Buddhists their own faith. The gift of lucid speech, which has placed Mrs. Besant in the front rank of women orators, has made her reception amongst all classes of people in India one of enthusiastic appreciation. Triumphal arches, unceasing garlanding, and incessant rose-sprinkling have attended her journeyings about. The people have heard her gladly, and priests and philosophers have literally sat at her feet. At Adyar, for many days in succession, she sat in the hall receiving and answer ing questions. She has aroused the leaders of Indian society to an interest in their ancient institutions and religion never before manifested.
