Would you call the breath which
you send out this second, superior to
the one you sent out two seconds be-
fore? Great races Of mankind are like
the Breaths of Godl Brotherhood?
Yes, in the breath of Godl In the
order of Godl Not inferiority here.
Gods Time. Gods appointed order.
There are many, many waves ahead
of us both, we of the fifth root race,
with its many sub-races, (of which
Jiddu Krishnamurti, the new vehicle
for the world-teacher was born in the
first sub-race); and you of the third
root-race, with its many subdivisions,
most of which have passed off the
stage of human history.
Qt is you leaders Of this last great
SUFFRAGE of the third root-race who
shall determine, by your conduct and
leadership, how splendid and majestic
shall be the great finale Of a glorious
old human strain. 1t is you who shall
determine how high will be the path
Of march for your band of divine Egos
as they carry on" to the next great
root-race on their program.)
There are many, many waves ahead
of US both, myriads who have gone SO
lar ahead of US all that they do no,
even need physical bodies any more;
but dwell among US, invisible, ever
watchful to lend a helping hand to US,
as we do to the younger brothers
round US.
Does that mean that we are inferior
to them? No. We are as divine as
they, essence. We come from the
same Great Source. We will tread the
same path they trod. Where they are;
we will be.
No body, no physical body COM
monty seen today, is perfect. All are
in the evolving process. No souls are
perfect, either; nor minds.
All of US are struggling along, de-
veloping these three outer phases of
consciousness more or less blindly.
Till, one day, we get to the stage of
growth where the secrets of The
Divine Wisdom (Theos, meaning God /;
sophy, meaning wisdom about open

Labor Delegate Will Address Session.

the 7. NJ. c. A. Cancelled an invitation
for President Green of the Federation
to speak. This action was followed
by announcements of several minis
ters that they regarded the CONNER
ranted and unwise.
Members of the A. +. of l.. execu-
tive council look with disfavor upon
all proposals for introducing religious
controversies into session of this con-
vention. The traditions Of the organi-
cation stand fatty opposed to consid-
Grafton Of such matters. But, develop
ments have aroused feelings Of appre.
hension.
Attitude Defined as Neutral.
The councils report defined the at
titude Of the A. +. Of l.. on the Mexi-
can situation as neutral. 1t said:
I'VE believe the Mexican labor
ed authority to make decisions of
Mexican labor. Without tolerance the
individual is denied the right to de-
eide his religious affiliations. For
these reasons the American Fedora
ton Of Labor has not interferred in
the difficult situation that developed
in Mexico over religious policies"
That declaration would have bar
red the Mexican problem from aris-
ing in this convention if Mexican
leaders had not seen fit to insist upon
support. The presence of Senor Hav-
erman is looked upon as an attempt
to force discussion of the Mexican
government attitude toward the
Catholic Church.
The convention is almost certain to
reaff1rm its allegiance to the principle
of the League of Nations. Fraternal
delegates from England, Germany,
France, Switzerland and Canada, all
of whom urged closer affiliation of
labor movements in the various coun-
tries of Europe and America, were
heartily applauded by delegates.
