THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY is composed of students, belonging to any
religion in the world or to none, who are united by their approval of
the above objects, by their wish to remove religious antagonisms and
to draw together men of good-will whatsoever their religious
opinions, and by their desire to study religious truths and to share
the results of their studies with others. Their bond of union is not
the profession of a common belief, but a common search and aspiration
for Truth. They hold that Truth should be sought by study, by
reflection, by purity of life, by devotion to high ideals, and they
regard Truth as a prize to be striven for, not as a dogma to be
imposed by authority. They consider that belief should be the result
of individual study or intuition, and not its antecedent, and should
rest on knowledge, not on assertion. They extend tolerance to all,
even to the intolerant, not as a privilege they bestow, but as a duty
they perform, and they seek to remove ignorance, not to punish it.
They see every religion as an expression of the DIVINE WISDOM, and
prefer its study to its condemnation, and its practice to proselytism.
Peace is their watch-word, as Truth is their aim.

THEOSOPHY is the body of truths which forms the basis of all
religions, and which cannot be claimed as the exclusive possession of
any. It offers a philosophy which renders life intelligible, and which
demonstrates the justice and the love which guide its evolution. It
puts death in its rightful place, as a recurring incident in an
endless life, opening the gateway of a fuller and more radiant
existence. It restores to the world the science of the spirit,
teaching man to know the spirit as himself, and the mind and body as
his servants. It illuminates the scriptures and doctrines of religions
by unveiling their hidden meanings, and thus justifying them at the
bar of intelligence, as they are ever justified in the eyes of
intuition.

Members of the Theosophical Society study these truths, and
Theosophists endeavour to live them. Every one willing to study, to be
tolerant, to aim high, and to work
