ORDER OF THE STAR IN THE EAST

On Wednesday evening at the Thcosophical Society's Hall in Marion Street, under the auspices of the "Order of the btar in the Last," a lecture was given by Miss C. Christie, national lecturer, entitled "The Universal Christ and the World Teacher." The. lecturer said: This world has been called the 'Star of Sorrow,' and eo it is, To-day there is' sorrow and strife in almost every country, for the world is in tho crucible in preparation for this appearing, and in order that it may be ready to take the next step forward. The truth of Christ's coming out again into the world at no very distant date is a message that the members of the 'Order of the Star in tlie East' are responsible for delivering to all men; for He will.surely come. The universal Christ spirit is a living force in the world here and now, and men are resiionsible for the degree to which they foster its growth in their hearts. All that is noblo and true is born of the,universal Christ Spirit; all the calls to noble desire within the individual. Christ the Intercessor is within you and mo, continually knocking at tho door asking us to link the lower pelf to the higher, to clean the windows of tho soul that the light may shine out to all men. Initiation, the birth of, the Christ within the heart, is symbolised in secret societies by the five-pointed star— for a thousand years this has been so; but materialism has crept in, and the underlying.truth ignored. "To-day, because of the near coming of the Great World Teacher, ancient ceremonies are being Tevivified by the force—the . influence that .is pouring through that channel, noticeably in the Church and in Masonry. Another in(iicntion of His appearing is the very marked way in which reform along the lines of education is being advocated, for lie, the World Teacher, is at the hend of the loaching ray.

"He will take the body specially prewired for Him, ns He did at the Baptism in Jordan, and if we love nnd endeavour to serve Him, we shall have the privilege of following Him when Ho comes. Can you imagine whnt it will mean to hear the magic of His voice when ho speaks as never man spoke— the whole world will take a step forward."
