Two Statements by John B.S. Coats

I give below two statements made in 1975 
by the late John B. S. Coats, President of the 
Theosophical Society (Adyar) from 1973-1979.

"The percentage of members, who have not as yet
ever read any books by H.P. Blavatsky is
regrettably high." The Theosophist, Feb., 1975

"There's a great need for the deepening of the 
individual member's understanding of theosophy. 
A lot of people skate superfically over the 
surface of theosophy without really going into 
it in depth." The Theosophist, Dec. 1975.
