Anna Besant's Views of
the Order of the Star
in the East

Anna Bcsant says of this
order:
When the supreme teacher
came to found Christianity the
public mind was unpreparcd for
his coming; only the wise men
noted the shining of the star in
the east. The opposition stirred
UP was SO strong, the rccogni-
tion was confined to SO few, that
he was able to give the world
the blessing of his physical pres
ence only for three brief years.
Perchancc if our band grows
large enough in every country
to prepare mems hearts for his
appearing and 10 give him ef-
fective welcome when he comes
the lord OF love may remain
with us for a period less brief,
and do a work less restricted
than that which was possible
1000 years ago. Some. at least,
of the shafts that would other
wise be aimed at him may fall
on our willing breasts, and some
of the opposition may exhaust
Itself on us, who gladly offer
ourselves as his servants"

In England a Title Wins
a Reverence All
It's Own

But in England when a man
or woman bears title, especi-
ally title which has descended
from father to son for several
generations or centuries he is
sure to receive a peculiar obeis-
ance from the "commoner,"
which no amount of money or
intellect could obtain for him
without the title.
A very enterprising and pro-
gressive Englishman expressed
concern at the unorthodox reli-
gious tendencies of a friend.
This friend, an American, is a
theosophist, and the kindly
hearted Englishman, being de-
voted to the Church of Eng
land, and being most conserva-
tive by nature, begged his
friend to be careful about ex-
pressing her pagan ideas, lest
she make herself unpopular.
Then one day she unfolded to
him a surprising fact-an Eng
lish lady bearing an honored
name, granddaughter of an earl,
daughter of an earl and sister
of an earl, was an avowed the
osophist, and she had asked the
American lady to lunch because
of her pagan ideas. Whereupon
the nice, kindly hearted Eng
lishman ceased 20 be anxious,
for though he might not accept
the pagan ideas for himself, he
felt that they gained certain
dignity. from being accepted by
the distinguished descendant of
two earls.
Lady Emily Lutyens (pro-
nounced Lutchcns), national
representa-. of the Order of
the Star il the East, in Eng
land. is the daughter OF Owen
Meredith. second earl of Lyt-
ton and granddaughter of the
first Lord Lytton. who contrib
uted great works of art to Eng
lish literature in The Last
Days of Pompeii' and many
other notable novels.
She is the wife OF an eminent
architect and artist, one to
whom the large work of fitting

that the brilliant daughter Of
Owen Meredith became an ear
nest, devout and serious Thcoso-
phist.
Every day she reads little
and talks little to her young

each one of the four young
minds has received the underly-
ing facts and principles as a
basis for building the beautiful
Tower of Faith later and as a
Radiant Center from which to
receive Power and Purpose from
the Universe.
Lady Lutyens is editor of the
Dayspring, the organ of the
Theosophical society known as
the Order of the Star in the
East.
This order has been founded
to draw together those who,
whether inside or outside Of the
T. S, believe in the near com
ing of great spiritual teacher

thing to prepare public opinion

atmosphere Of welcome and of
reverence; and, on the higher
planes, may unite in forming an
instrument of service ready for
his use. The Declaration Of
Principles, acceptance of which
IS all that is necessary for ad-
mission to the order, is as fol-
l. We believe that a great
teacher will soon appear in
: the world, and we wish so to
live now that we may be worthy
to know him when he comes.
2. We shall try, therefore, to
keep him in our minds always
and TO do in his name, and there
fore to the best of our ability,
all the work which comes to US
in our daily occupation.
3. AS far as our ordinary
duties allow, we shall endeavor
to devote portion Of our time
each day to some definite work
which may help to prepare for

4. We shall seek to make de-
votion, steadfastness and gentle

the mentality of that nation.
At the same time the English
people demand more OF man
and woman Of title before ad-
mitting them to their favor than
do our American society circlesl
We have many cases of bogus
lords and dukes, counts and
barons, who have become social
lions, and even married women
of good family before they were
unmasked.
Such an occurrence IS un-
known in England, for they have
their literature of caste, and no
man would dare assume title
there without facts to substan-
tiate the claim. The pretenders
come to America, where they
know they can find an entree to
our best society" in many parts
of the land merely through our
craze for the titles which we
pretend 10 dcspise.
