openly that they have triumphed all along the line. Their 
formula has attained the destruction of all positive qualities. 
It is only one step to the stage when the annihilation of all 
life and thought will appear as a fatal necessity. The 
materialism and vital scepticism of the present time, its 
frenzied rush for pleasure in total disregard of any idea of 
building for the future, testifies to a condition of complete 
moral disorder, of abject spiritual anarchy. 
The White School has thus been paralysed. We are 
reminded of the spider described by Fabre, who injects her 
victims with a poison which paralyzes them without killing 
them, so that her own young may find fresh meat. And this is 
what is going to happen in Europe and America unless 
something is done about it, and done in very short order. 
The Yellow School could not remain impassive spectators 
of the abominations. Madame Blavatsky was a mere 
forerunner. They, in conjunction with the Secret Chiefs of 
the White School in Europe, Chiefs who had been compelled 
to suspend all attempts at exoteric enlightenment by the 
general moral debility which had overtaken the races from 
which they drew their adepts, have prepared a guide for 
mankind. This man, of an extreme moral force and elevation, 
combined with a profound sense of worldly realities, has 
stood forth in an attempt to save the White School, to 
rehabilitate its formula, and to fling back from the bastions 
of moral freedom the howling savages of pessimism. Unless 
his appeal is heard, unless there comes a truly virile reaction 
against the creeping atrophy which is poisoning them, unless 
they enlist to the last man under his standard, a great decisive 
battle will have been lost. 
This prophet of the White School, chosen by its Masters 
and his brethren, to save the Theory and Practice, is armed 
with a sword far mightier than Excalibur. He has been 
entrusted with a new Magical formula, one which can be 
accepted by the whole human race. Its adoption will 
strengthen the Yellow School by giving a more positive value 
to their Theory; while leaving the postulates of the Black
