ADDRESS (published May 1902) OF ROBERT CROSBIE AT A POINT LOMA 
CELEBRATION IN WHICH MRS TINGLEY IS HIGHLY PRAISED 

". . . we who have the privilege of assembling at this place and 
taking part in this ceremony of sweet and grateful remembrance---know 
that the establishment of this great Center [by Mrs Tingley at Point 
Loma, Calfornia] is a realization of what William Q. Judge lived for, 
worked for, hoped for, and we cannot but feel deep in our hearts that 
he knows and rejoices with us today. 

We feel that he knows of the self-sacrificing efforts made by the 
faithful ones, and that those efforts have been called forth by his 
chosen successor [Mrs Tingley], of whom he [William Q. Judge] 
said, "she is true as steel, as clear as diamond, and as lasting as 
time." 

By her work has she [Mrs Tingley] shown to all men her fitness to 
demonstrate the principles laid down by H.P. Blavatsky and W.Q. 
Judge, by making them pratical in the daily life of mankind. 

Her [Mrs Tingley's] work and our work stand today as an offering of 
gratitude and love to that noble soul and loving human heart, whom we 
knew as W.Q. Judge."
