EVOLUTION OF MAN
LECTURE BY DRA, FUNG TO
LOCAL THEOSOPHISTS
Continuing the series of lectures on the Plan of Evolution at the Manuic Lodge of the Theosophical Society, Dr. A. Tung gave a talk at meeting, entitled Thursday's open "Science sees, a Plun." Everywhere in the world around us to-day, the speaker pointed out how important is the role Science is playing in every walk of life, and how it secures for. man a growing knowledge of the laws which affect us and by the control of them sets the seal of the creation of a new-social order, ·
Truly the outlooks in certain direc- tions seems dark and science will be used for wanton destruction Instead of for progress. But this has been no in the past, and it was predicted that the last great war would result in chaos, and yet the signs of that destruction are almost obliterated from the world to-day and instead we see a new social order builded on firmer foundations Than ever before.
. One of the most amusing episodes in the Ann Sothern-Gene Raymond dramatic comedy, "Smartest tilri in Town," is the shampoo which Gene undergoes at Ann's Hands. The film showing at the Queen's Theatre next Wednesday.
Thus even this wrong application of Science, when man is blinded by greed and scifishness and unable to percalve the higher purpose of bro-is therhood and service far which Selruce was given us, cannot,lny · the progress of evolution.
