The Universal must be made real to us and cease to be a mere logical abstraction. Knowledge must lead to salvation as it was hoped by man from the beginning of history. We are all threatened to-day with extinction if we perversely pursue the path of violence. Warning is coming daily from master spirits of the East and the West and we must follow them or perish.

May we, with the blessings and practical examples of our Seers, serve the cause of World Peace.
