Dear Dallis,

Thanks for this expound again.
To this part many European and American and maybe more 
manly Theosophist needed to read and make clear in their lives 
very well.
AlsO look very objectively to which kind ONE belongs.

Here are namely many man in theosophy the greatest example of the bad 
man.
Only have a mask of to look kindly, but behind that, they are wolves 
in sheapclothes.
Examples too much !!!

Also for woman will serve this.
WE ALL NEEDS TO JUDGE OURSELVES IN THE FIRST PLACE TO SHOW A GOOD 
THEOSOPHIST AND TO BE A PERFECT EXAMPLE AND NOT A THEOSOPHICAL 
HYPOCRITE OR A VEGETARIAN "WOMANSAUNT( NICE WORD USED FROM FRANK)".

Maybe then Theosophy gives to turning point in this world.
And close to the opinion of HPB Theosopgy not to be used for personal 
collecting workshops, without any service of Universal Love.
Cause UNIVERSAL LOVE is NOT for SALE !!!

Best Wishes Christina Leestemaker.
