Trial Picture In Post

Accompanying an article by Melville
DAWSON Post published in last week s
Saturday Evening Post is a picture Of
the circuit court room in the Mar
ouettc county courthouse taken while
the Roosevelt Newett libel suit was ON
trial. The picture measures about
four by six inches and was taken from
the northeast corner of the room, APP
barcntly from the balcony. Colonel
Roosevelt is testifying from the Wit
ness stand and facing half toward the
Jury and half toward his attorney,
James n. Pound. whose figure cannot
be seen but who examined the witness
from the corner of the jury box. The
picture Is unretouched ana natural in

way with tho situation as it unfolds
itself To the analytical mind, now that
the trial is over. In it the writer points
out Colonel Eoosevelts evident conf

American Theosophists await with
eagerness the promised visit Of won
derful Hindoo lad to this country. On
his arrival here thousands will fall
down before him and hail him with
reverence. For this lad, lSrishnamurti,
otherwise known as Alcyone, IS be-
lieved to be a new Messiah. a being
through whom the Spirit of Christ will
manifest itself to this generation and
century.
Theosophists believe that at long
rare intervals one Of the great Spirits
visits earth and reincarnates himself
in some human body. At one period
this Spirit was known as Confucius;
al another as Buddha: at another as
Christ; atsanother as Mahomet. They
believe the time has come for another
manifestation Of the Spirit on earth
and that KrishEamurti IS the Spirit )
chosen vehicle.
Krishnamurti, who is just Is, was
discovered in northern India by Mrs.
annie Bresant, the well known Theoso-
pldst writer. Today the boy, with his
brother, Nitayanda, is living in luxu
rious seclusion at the country house

Ask - Theosophist what proof he has
that Kishnamurti is really possessed
of divine powers and he will point you
to a book written by the lad when he
was twelve, and within a few months
after he began the study Of English.
The book is called 'tAt the Feet of the
Master" 1t is declared that no one,

dan or Jew, can read this strangely
simple, lucid and beautiful exposition
O., the true rule OF conduct for attain
ing spiritual consciousness without
realizing its vital Significance and the
extraordinary quality of the mind that
gave it birth. It has been translated
into fourteen languages and today is
the creed of those who believe that
Krishnamurti may really be prophet
ofthe Way. the Truth and the Life.
Krishnamurti's followers in this
country number at least $4,000. All are
rot Theosophists. But all are eager for
the time to come when Krishnamurti
shall begin to execute what they be-
