"Daniel writes: (2) Leadbeater's own birth record indicates that he was born 
on February 16, 1854. But in the Jan.-Febr. 2005 issue of Quest magazine one 
can find in the article "The History of Adyar day" by Ananya S. Rajan the 
following: "The first unofficial Adyar Day was celebrated February 17, 1923, 
in the United States, with members here raising money to send overseas. That 
date was chosen because it was not only the day Olcott passed away, but also 
the day Giordano Bruno, a student of Pythagoras was burned at the stake and 
the day Charles W. Leadbeater was born." As Quest magazine is published by the 
Adyar TS in USA one can assume that they know about they speak on "Adyar day"."

Let me put this challenge to the TS in the USA: I will donate $500US to the TS 
in the USA if they can provide documentary evidence that Leadbeater was born 
on February 16, 1854 (other than his own assertion of the fact or statements 
by others depending on his assertions).

Either the TS in the USA is prepared to publish a lie, or they can provide the 
evidence.

I'm waiting..... Should seven (7) days be sufficient?
