Rejoicing as we do at your second visit, we cannot but feel profvund sorrow at the idea of seperation froru a person of your knowledge, ability, and simplicity, we however console ourselves with the fact that what is loss to us is a substeutinl gain to our American Bretberen.
Those of our Bretleren on tbe other side of tbe Mississipi who being far removed from the centres of activity, could not share the pleasures of your company und adresses, will have now ample time to satisfy themselves. It will also be a boon and blessing to the enthusiastic students of occult Philosophy, who paid you a well merited inen, of honour by founding a society of Philosophic Investigations in your name. We feel pride and pleasure to kuow that you will be accompanied by your devoted wife, who will be a source of great help and comfort to you, and will afford our American sisters, a good opportunity to form a correct idea of the nature, virtuts aud responsibilities of an Aryav Lady..
In conclusion, sir, we leartily wish you a lion voyage and pray that blessings inay be strewn accross your path, and that your efforts in propounding and propagating the bigb principles of our noble religion may
