The result may not be so visible yet that "he who runs may read"; neither is the result of the great fertilizing you gave your field--until the grain has sprouted, and the brown earth is covered with greenness. But the result is that seeds of coming greatness, in a real sense--seeds of a higher, cleaner, saner life--have been sown in the life and thought of the city. In time you shall see the harvest. It will be a clean city, such as Calvin, for example, strove to make of his Geneva; a city without stain or blemish, without saloon or redlight. Beyond that, it will be a city perhaps of many theaters, in which the highest, the most classical and beautiful of the world's dramas will be shown--and in which there will never be anything shown approaching the commonplace, the vulgar, the stupid. It will be a City Beautiful, a place of marvelous architecture, exquisite gardening. It will be a city whose press will be clean, elevating, unsensational, instructive; a press that will not lie nor slander nor _touch personal themes_; that will give the news, and not rake hell and the gutters, fact and fancy, for all kinds of nauseousness and nonsense; a press that will be a model to the press of the world. From all the world the best people will be sending their children to be educated here.

It is for you to answer; it is for you to answer. The Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society Established for the Benefit of the People of the Earth and all Creatures OBJECTS This Brotherhood is part of a great and universal movement which has been active in all ages. This Organization declares that Brotherhood is a fact in Nature.

BLAVATSKY, FOUNDRESS AND TEACHER The present Theosophical Movement was inaugurated by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in New York in 1875. The original name was "The Theosophical Society." Associated with her were William Q. Judge and others. Madame Blavatsky for a time preferred not to hold any outer official position except that of Corresponding Secretary. But later, in 1888, she dissolved a Center in France and cancelled its by-laws, which action was afterwards formally ratified by the Executive Council of the Society. Referring to this she wrote in her English magazine as follows:
