CLIPPING FROM THE “CLAPHAM OBSERVER”
(LONDON, JAN.]
THE NEW SCIENCE OF “SOLAR BIOLOGY.”—Last Friday night, at the headquarters of the “Esoteric Society” (35, Battersea Rise), winch was founded on the 3rd inst. by Mr. Henry Proctor, F. R. S. L, M. R. A. S., A. V. I., and Mr. Alexander Mclgines, a Caledonian, an excoach of University students, and a “Christian Mystic.” the Latter gentleman delivered a lecture on “Solar Biology,” a science which has in recent years, been originated in the Occident, “way town” Applegate. California, by Professor Hiram E. Butler, Editor of the “Bible Review.” “Solar Biology” enables a person to understand his, or her, own nature, but, instead of being based on a knowledge of the “stars” (as in astrology), has its basis in the solar orb. Possibly, in time, this new science will supplant the older one, as its teachings are not In conf let with present day astronomy, whereas astrology had its birth when the ancients taught that the sun and planets revolved around the earth as a centre. The learned lecturer stated that the Platonic Year (that of the sun revolving around Arcturus) was equal to 25,000 of our years, whilst that of Arcturus, revolving around Pleiades, was equal to 30,000,000 of such years. Mr. Mclnnes taught that every human being was born under a certain zodiacal sign, and that these signs (12 in number) exerted an immense influence on their very life. It was obvious, from a practical standpoint, that a knowledge of Solar Biology would be of great utility to employers, etc. The lecture was listened to throughout with great attention, and Mr. Young (the “Battersea Seer” and “Christian Mystic”) concluded the meeting with prayer. It might here be stated that the meetings, In connection with the Esoteric Society, are held every Friday night at eight o’clock. at 35, Battersea Rise, the object of the Society being to dwell not so much on the “Letter” of the Bible, which “killeth,” as the “spirit,” which “giveth life.”
