light clothes and lavender scarf.
The woman In the white flowing robes
on the throne waved her hand toward
David and whispered:
Prom India. where he spent ten years
in meditation.
Before David began to speak the men
servants moved noiselessly to the win
dows and drew silk shades across them.
II speak in public for the first time,
said David, whose accent seemed more
suggestive of Liverpool than Burmah.
am here to tell you the wonderful good
news that you may all live forever. Inc
end Of the sixth day in the period of the
creation of the world is at hand. In our
belief day is as one thousand years and
one thousand years is as day. 1t is IN
this day that Immortality begins on earth
Il counsel you to go into silence
each morning at six. again at high noon
and again at six in the evening. Concen-
trate your thought on the idea that you
cannot die. Live as We tell you 10 hVe
and you will find that you can live forever
on this earth
perhaps some of the friends would like
to ask some questions, David" said the
lady in white. mildly: ''for instance. that

The gentleman on the sofa, who wore
his tie drawn through a diamond ring
and who wore the look of a man who

said:
NO, lady, there's nothing troubling

Il shall not die Keep that thought
Cult Boasts No Name.
What is the name Of this religion"
asked a thin man, who leaned pensively
against a shaded lamp.
