Letter No XCVII

Common people, are the masses as diiferent from those who are distinguished. Your methods were not abandoned, it was only sought to show the drift of cycHc change no doubt that is helped by you too. Are you not man of the world enough to bear the small defects of young disciples. In their way they also help—and do greatly. In you is also concealed a power to help from your side for the poor Society will even yet need all the care it can get. It is good that you have seen the work of a noble woman, who has left all for the cause. Other ways and times will appear for your help. For you are a single witness and well knowing the facts that will be challenged by traitors.

We cannot alter Karma my " good friend " or we might lift the present cloud from your path. But we do all that is possible in such material matters. No darkness can stay for ever. Have hope and faith and we may disperse it. There are not many left true to the original programme ! And you have been taught much and have much that is and will be useful. 

M.
