He urges us to penetrate appearances and discern the eternal beyond the temporal, for behind and within the current turmoil there is "power, spiritual power." In the near-half century since these words were spoken the winds of destiny have been blowing hard, at times with gale force. Certainly not a nation or race, not a single human being, not Mother Earth herself with her families of lives, has been untouched by karmic change. Yet out of the pain and disruption a new worldview and a new and grander vision of humanity's role in the cosmic drama are coming into focus. Despite the prevailing self-seeking in subtle and gross forms, the practice of altruism is on the rise as the counter-impulse toward spirit gains momentum. During his leadership of the Theosophical Society (1929-1942) Dr. de Purucker lectured constantly on the manifold aspects of theosophy, both in Europe and in the United States, and these addresses form the basis of his larger works. Wind of the Spirit is different. In this seemingly random collection of remarks made spontaneously at public and private gatherings and drawn from letters and notes to students, we rediscover how immensely practical theosophy is. Of course there is teaching aplenty — it could scarcely be otherwise, so profound was his knowledge of the world's spiritual and literary heritage; but it is de Purucker's lucid and direct response to human need that constitutes the book's appeal: always compassionate of human frailty yet ever challenging the nobility within each of us to shine forth. Understandably, when Wind of the Spirit first came out in 1944, within two years of the author's death, it was an instant favorite. In the present edition the eight formal lectures included in the first edition are omitted as the subject matter is amply treated elsewhere by the author. Outside of this, only minor editing of the text has been done so as to preserve the vitality of the spoken word; and, as an aid to the reader, an index and glossary of philosophical terms, prepared by Ingrid Van Mater, have been added. Wind of the Spirit concludes with the talk given by Dr. de Purucker a week before he died: "Aham Asmi Parabrahma" — I am Parabrahma, the Boundless. This was the alpha and omega of his teaching mission: to remind us again and again that at the core of every human being, indeed of every atom in the cosmos, is a living divinity. "Think if every man and woman on earth were thoroughly convinced of the utter reality of this cosmic truth! Never again would the hand of man be raised against man. Always it would be the extended hands of succor and brotherhood. For I am my brother — in our inmost we are one." GRACE F. KNOCHE June 21, 1984 Pasadena, California Contents Theosophical Society Homepage Wind of the Spirit — G. de Purucker Wind of the Spirit The Heritage of Man Is Man Himself Where Are the Sages and Seers? Shifting Our Center of Consciousness Altruism Carving Your Destiny Wind of the Spirit There is one thing I learned when I was a boy, and I learned it well, and it has been one of my best friends ever since. It is that I can learn from everything, and that if I allow a single day to pass without increasing my store of wisdom, without enlarging and enriching my inner life, by however small an increment, that day is a lost day in my life. Too many of us are asleep; we sleep and dream. We dream dreams, and all too often these dreams are evil dreams, for they are the upsurgings of the lower, personal, easily self-satisfied ego of ours. But others of us dream visions of incomparable beauty — and I mean not merely physical beauty, but beauty of any kind: spiritual beauty, intellectual beauty, ay, even beauty of wondrous nature around us. And every such new envisioning of a marvel awakens us by just so much. Oh, how we sleep, and are forgetful of what we are and of the richness around us which is ours for the taking, ours if we will take it! For there is naught that stands in the way of taking except oneself. There are none so blind as they who refuse to see; none so deaf as they who refuse to hear; and, on the other hand, none so wise as they who meet every new experience in life's wondrous adventure with the feeling: there is an angel behind this for me. I must discover him; learn what that angelic messenger is trying to tell me. Every experience is such. I think one of the grandest things that theosophy does for us is to unveil our eyes, unstop our ears, so that seeing, we see somewhat more, and hearing we hear somewhat more; until finally we begin to hear what the silence tells us — the voice of the silence, which is the greatest and the richest and the most wisdom- pregnant voice to us. Theosophy were but a farce, were but as tinsel if it did not awaken us out of ourselves and make us more than we were. That is its one purpose; and that is the whole purpose of our study of it: to become ever more enlightened, a little bigger, a little more receptive. Just here we see the difference between the beast and the man. The beast sees and knows not, recognizes not; the man sees and understands somewhat; and the master sees and hears, and the message enters in in its fullness; and the god, the producer of that which we see and hear — all the gods have to receive their light from still sublimer worlds, planes, spheres of universal life. So now facing what is taking place in the world today we must recognize it as no chance event, no haphazard or fortuitous occurrence, not the blind blows of fate, but the working out of the events which are coming. We must recognize that behind these events there is power, spiritual power, spiritual force. It will all work out to an already predestined and sublime ending.

  • John Wesley and the Religious Societies
    JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES BY JOHN S. SIMON, D.D. AUTHOR OF * A SUMMARY OF METHODIST LAW AND DISCIPLINE,' * THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION IN ENGLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY,' ETC. LONDON THE EPWORTH PRESS J. ALFRED SHARP First edition, 1921 PREFACE Canon Overton, in his Life in the English Church, 1660- ' 1714, says that there is no doubt that John Wesley intended his Societies to be an exact repetition of what was done by Beveridge, Horneck, and Smythies sixty-two years before.' ' He continues : How it was that the Methodist Societies took a different course is a very interesting, and, to a church- man, a very sad question.' In this book I have given descrip- tions of the first Rehgious Societies, and have shown their development under the influence of Dr. Woodward and John Wesley. From those descriptions my readers wiU be able to judge the accuracy of Canon Overton's statement concern- ing John Wesley's intentions. There can be no doubt, how- ' ' ever, that the relationship between the Religious Societies ' ' and the United Societies of the People called Methodists was so close that the latter cannot be understood without an intimate knowledge of the former. In writing this book, I have kept the Methodist Church in view. My eyes have been fixed on John Wesley and the England in which his greatest work was done. We can never understand the revival of religion which glorified the eighteenth century until we see Wesley as he wls, and get rid of the false impressions created by writers who have had an imperfect acquaintance with him and his evangelistic work.

  • The Holy Spirit” by Rev Dr Tow Siang Hwa
    October to December 2017 “The Holy Spirit” by Rev Dr Tow Siang Hwa About the Author The Rev Dr Tow Siang Hwa, who started the RPG (Read, Pray and Grow) Daily Bible Reading Guide in 1982, is the Founding Pastor of Calvary Pandan Bible-Presbyterian Church. Saved at the age of ten in 1935 during the revival meetings of Dr John Sung, Dr Tow (a gynaecologist by training) has founded more than twenty churches and related institutions in over ten countries. Besides writing for RPG, he is author of several books including “Beyond Versions: A Biblical Perspective of Modern English Bibles” and “Footprints in the Sands of Time.” LORD’S DAY, OCTOBER 1 GENESIS 1:1-2 “Thy word is a JOHN 1:1-3 lamp unto my feet…” THE HOLY SPIRIT There is an urgent and universal need for Christians to be well acquainted with the person of the Holy Spirit, for the knowledge in this area is either woefully lacking in some, or mixed with much that is false in others. Ignorance of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity is dishonouring to Him and highly injurious to ourselves. On the other hand, confused and erroneous teaching leads to a multitude of unchristian and unscriptural practices. It is needful therefore that every true child of God make a serious and diligent study of the Holy Scriptures. In the Westminster Confession of Faith, Larger Catechism Question 9 says: “How many persons are there in the Godhead?” Answer: “There be three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one true, eternal God, the same in substance, equal in power and glory; although distinguished by their personal properties.” Christians are baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

  • The Australian Career of John Alexander Dowie (PDF)
    Barry Chant - Articles: The Australian Career of John Alexander Dowie THE AUSTRALIAN CAREER OF JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE A paper prepared for the Centre for the Study of Australian Christianity, 10 August 1992 John Alexander Dowie spent only eight and half years of his astonishing ministry in Australia. Yet they were in some ways the most significant of his career. It was during this time, that he developed a philosophy of ministry and leadership that would catapult him into international fame as a religious leader. John Dowie was an enigma, a figure of great contrasts. He was a major contributor to the early development of Pentecostalism, yet he was also in some ways a major hindrance to its acceptance. Some pioneer Pentecostal leaders trace their spiritual heritage to John Dowie, yet he himself was never a Pentecostal. Dowie was so admired by many Australians that hundreds of them left their homes in this country to live in Zion City in Illinois, the theocratic city that he planned, conceived and brought to birth. Yet when he returned here in 1904, he was vilified, scorned and abused by angry mobs in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and had to flee for safety. Dowie’s preaching and teaching indicate a fervent love for Jesus and a longing for holiness and godliness, yet at the end of his life, he was demanding allegiance as Elijah the Restorer and the First Apostle of the Lord Jesus the Christ in the Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion. John Alexander Dowie was born on 25 May 1847 in St Andrew’s Parish, Edinburgh, Scotland just two months after the marriage of his parents John Murray Dowie and Anne Dowie (nee MacFarlane) in the Tron Church parish, in the same city.1 It was later alleged that Dowie denied this paternity and claimed that he came from nobler stock.2 In 1851, John Murray’s brother Alexander migrated to South Australia and established the successful South Australian Boot Factory in Rundle Street, 1V.Chant, The Family Background of John Alexander Dowie.

"LEWIS CRAIG"-A NEW BIOG­ RAPHY. Rev. Lewis N. Thompson. vVe are glad to announce that this biography, a valuable contribution to our Baptist history, is now read.y for delivery. Lewis · ·Craig was .a Baptist pi.oneer in V'irgiruia, the incarnation of the spirit of those early days, a man of convictions, olear thinking and fearless actions. Religious convictions smote him as a storm, and he wrestled in spirit with the problems which came to his theological untutored mind. He followed the traveling preachers from· one section of t•he country to ·another, until he found himself, until he knew, and until he was converted. Speedily he became a minister, a noted and strik­ ing -revivalist, a mig1hty found•ation lay­ er. The flame of fire within drove him onward; he organized church after church, and finlllllY took up a church and led it forth into and across the wilder­ ness and planted it in Kentucky, t'he now famous "•Moving church". He or­ ganized Elkhorn Associ-ation, now cov­ ening !Lexington and a half-dozen other Blugrass towns, whkh in turn became the mother of a number of other asso­ ciations. If Kentucky Baptists should ever canonize a 'saint there is no ques­ tion that Lewis Craig would! have no competition for that 'honor. He was a man of gentle spirit, tactful, of wide sympathies, and untiring energy. He preached all the better when behind prison bars.

The Board of Foreign Missions respectfully presents to the General Synod its Eightieth Annual Report, the Fifty-fifth of its separate and independent action. The year has perhaps been peculiar in the circumstance of its having been somewhat more normal than those immediately pre­ ceding it. No special emphasis or unique stimulus has accom­ panied the events of the year. It has, therefore, been characterized by the fact that it records occurrences and accomplishments that represent the normal progress of church life in its outward activi­ ties. Five Missionaries have been commissioned and have entered upon the work of preparation on the field, but changes and with­ drawals have left the number representing the Church in Asia the same as at the conclusion of the previous year. Two Missions have been called upon to mourn the loss by death each of one of its members. After a singularly beautiful and active life of seven years amongst the Chinese people whom she served with great de­ votion Miss Alice Duryee passed to her reward in January, 1911, leaving her associates, both American and Chinese, the richer for her life and her spirit.

    Life and Labours OF D UNCAN M ATHESON , THE SCOTTISH EVANGELIST. BYTHE REV.JOHNMACPHERSON. “REALITYISTHEGREATTHING:IHAVEALWAYSSOUGHTREALITY.” N e w E d i t i o n . LONDON:MORGANANDSCOTT (OFFICE of “The Christian.”) 12, PATERNOSTER BUILDINGS. E.C. And may be ordered by any bookseller. 1876. DUNCAN MATHESON, Scottish evangelist, 1824-1869. PREFACE. URING his last days on earth Duncan Matheson, in accordance with the Dwishes of his friends, set himself to write an account of his own life. The ef- fort proved too much for his enfeebled health, and his autobiographic notes, stop- ping short at the beginning of his evangelistic course, were left in no fit state for publication. The facts recorded by his own hand have, however, been embodied in the present memoir; and the narrative of his conversion, by far the most valuable portion of his hastily written notes, has been given in his own words. The cases of conversion described in illustration of the work of grace and the success of our evangelist are matters of fact of which I have the fullest knowledge, most of the individuals concerned being personally known to me; but I have deemed it best not to give their names. On similar grounds I have also in several instances withheld the names of localities. Many of the incidents narrated I learned from the lips of my lamented friend; in fact, a great part of the volume has been derived from my recollection of the man and the work. The best narrative of his evangelistic labours, I have reason to believe, was con- tained in his letters to his wife; but these have been destroyed.
