Excerpt from The Chicago Address: Signs of the Times, From the Standpoint of a Scientist; An Address Delivered at the First Methodist Church, April 26, 1888, Under the Auspices of the Western Society for Psychical Research
And the first among the Signs of the Times is the Woman Question. That is, indeed, not only first, but also last, and al ways. This is a Sign whose full significance we Shall see before I have done. And second, Spiritualism, well-named the Main stay of Religion and the Despair of Science. And third, Psy chical Research, to which we turn wistfully for light upon the deeper problems Of life. There is needed no Theosophy to discern in these three things a trinity of force that needs but some fulcrum on which to turn the world. These are the Signs of the Times we Shall question to-night, whether they be only surface ripples to pass with the idle winds, or whether, indeed, such tremors portend a violent upheaval of ground considered secure. Never yet has a throe Of nature come without fair war ning. Nothing is born to live-without premonitory pains. N o alarmist I, who have faced the facts too many years for that! But history will fail to repeat itself, and such failure would mean that eternal cycles of time should swerve from an appoint ed course; that human progress Should not be an orderly unfold ing Of man' S destiny, but a spasmodic struggle against fate - history fails us, I repeat, if men now living do not witness, on the turn of this century, greater changes than any of us know as yet; do not experience in their own lives the full cumulative effect ofspiritual and material forces which have been in silent Operation for the past six hundred years. That is the law. That is the Law of Karma, escape from which the world has never known.
