MRS. BESAN7'S LATEST; SHE
FORETELLS NEW PACIFIC CONTINENT

he will begin to execute his mission
as the Messiah of the new cycle of the
worlds history.
Some Followers skepties.
There is, therefore, about the follow
ers Of Mrs Besant all the stir and nut-
ter of excitement natural to those who
feel themselves on the even of new
dispensauon. 1t must be admitted
that some of the Theosophists do not
recognize the inerrancy of Mrs. Be
SAINTS messages from the higher
planes Sinnett who may be regarded
in some way as the father of modern
theCsophy, is very skeptical concern
ing the coming of the next race
Sinnett said to me the other day
that he did not deny for a moment
that the boy Kirshnamurti was des-
tined to play a considerable part in
the spiritual evolution of the race, but
he doubted whether Mrs. Besant was
right in her dates.
Indeed, Sinnett went so far as to
say that in fixing the coming of the
sixth race as due in seven hundred
years time, she was just trihe out
The arrival of the race, according to
Sinnett, is not due for about 100000
years, which gives us, the doomed
fifth, little longer breathing space
than we are allowed by Mrs. Besant
and Leadbetter.
This news is of even more interest
to Americans than to the jewellers lin
the older world, for if these theosophi-
cal prophets be true the world is to
be prepared for the coming of the
sixth race by preliminary process OF
purifcation which is brought about by
using the Pacific as a wet broom to
sweep the American nation off the
face of the world.
Already the theosophists are hailing
with awe and interest the admissions
made by men of science as to the
gradual appearance of the peaks of a
new continent in the midst of the Pa
cifc Ocean. This continent is already
beginning to show above the surface
of the ocean. The Bagos islands are
indeed emerging with such rapidity
that one peak has already reached the
height of 1000 feet above sea level.
In the fire ring of the Pacific fifty
earthquakes occur every month. These
are regarded as the preliminary birth
throes of the new continent that is
being prepared as the home of the
sixth race
The following passage from the
writings from these Eastern seers has
a somewhat apocalytic sound: The
Buranas called the new continent
Shaka, and the occult records tell that
it will rise where now the Pacific
spreads, where once Lemuria streechd
spreads, where once Lemurl6
stretched, the home of the sixth race
Huge and widespread destruction vol
canic fires, earthquakes, tidal waves
will spit North America into pieces,
ard she will sink beneath the waves
and Shaka will arise, born of fire, as
FIRE destroyed Lemuria, and yield q
nov hCme C. new race.
Danger Is Not Near.
Yet, need you not share these
fears, for the rising is not so near at
hand, nor the danger universal. Amer
lea has still many centuries of devot.
oping life within her borders ere the
great tidal wave our scientists fear
will sweep her prairies and dash itself
beyond her mountain crests. 1t is true
that a great catastrophe will come.
Humanity has survived the prev
ious cataclysms and it will survive
this, although tens of millions of its
children be whelmed beneath tidal
waves, swallowed up in the wide
mouths of river CULTS.
The new continent will arise to be
the home of a new and greater race
the coming race, the sixth, which shall
establish on earth a broader civiliza
