TheosOphists on
Way to India for
Second Coming Christ

New York. Dec. 15.-(AP)-Thou-
sands of theosophists are journeying
to India in anticipation of the second
coming of Christ" the New York Trib-
une says today.
They are drawn by the prophecy of
their leader. Mrs. Annie Besant, inter
national president of the Philosophical
Society. that within the next five
months the Star of Bethlehem will
burn over Adyar, India, and Christ
will return to the Earth in the body
I'of J. Krishnamurti, 30-year-old
Hindu.
The anticipated appearance of the
new Christ" which had been kept Sc
cret for some time. was revealed by
Captain r. l.. Jones, book shop pro-
prietor and American representative of
Mrs. Besant Only a few weeks ago
the young Hindu upon whom God
head is to descend quietly visited this
country, meeting members OF the
faith.
Christ will simply come as before,
this time using the body of Krishna-
murti as his vehicle" Captain Jones
explained.
But there will be no angelic trum-
peting and no clouds of glory; instead
the event will have a modern aspect
Seven persons are being prepared as
apostles. and the other five will be
appointed in India. Modern publicity
agents will herald the arrival of the
new Christ as He and His apostles
Journey through the world, proclaim
ing His message to humanity.
Although Mrs. Besant has set five
months from now as the time for the
event, the other theosophists have set

prises and good times in store for
them. that he hardly sees how he
will have time to get them all inbe-

take his chariot and music box all
over the city during his stay here
that the shut ms may have a chance
to hear the music and see his CHEEKY
