Panthe- ism is a system that 'completely destroys all .moral responsibility, makes t'hin'king a 'crime and makes men mere selfish, irresponsible animals. Dr. Wilkie, who has been over 30 years in India, says 'that the devotees' of theosophy in America aver. -emphasize theories ,and over- look facts. --'The religion of the heathen Hindu is sensualists deified.• In order to compete on fair terms with the 'caste people and to save them from 'being crushed under the caste's' enormous .weight, the. Chris- tians are being taught ;trades by, the missionaries. Dr. Wilkie has intra - kited the western dry system of farming. which :has proved very suc- cebs!ful-and -if generally used would `help prevent the : oft -recurring fam- ines in India, This 'is under the management of a gradua'e of the Guelph -Agricultural.
