SOON REVISIT EARTH
MRS. ANNIE BESANT DECLARES
HE WILL BE IN WEST
Woman's Body May Be Abode Of Spirit
This Time, Says Head of
Theosophical So
ciety

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-Mrs. Annie
Besant, head of the Theosophical So
ciety, and successor to Nine. Blavats-
ky, who arrived in this country from
her home in India, Saturday, has an
nounced her belief that Christ soon
will make another personal visit on
earth. She said that the spirit of
Christ would manifest itself through
the specially fitted physical body of
some western person, possibly a Wom-
an, but more likely a man. During
Mrs. Besant's first lecture in this coun-
try on this visit she was asked If
Christ was incarnate now.
He is" she said. He is always in
somebody. When he comes next to be
known he will, l think. choose some new
body 1t may be that this body will
have been already trained for some
time by another Christ will tnhabit it.
Oh, yes: he may choose a woman S
body, and he viii come soon.
There are signs that the supreme
teacher will come to earth shortly.
Let US hope that he will be allowed TO
stay among us longer than three years.
Maybe some of You think you would
not have crueiied him in the old Ju-
dean days. Try to place yourself in
that environment, and you will see
that you most likely would have been
as those who did want to kill him then.
How shall we know him, you ask
Some of us who feel him now viii
know him intuitively. Others who have
not reached that level must cultivate
themselves. Never try to Justify your
self when accused of anything. Make
no defense. Bow your head and let
the accusations be made. BE patient,
be tolerant, and do not argue. And IN
time YOU will be able to feel his pres
ence intuitively maybe by the time he
comes next again.
