POWER AND AUTHORITY 
377 
the fact that despite all appearances one has been watched 
and guarded from a higher plane. I might say, in fact, that 
one such experience of the secret guardianship of the Chiefs 
of the Order is worth a thousand apparently 
sufficient 
witnesses to the facts. 
I would have you lay this closely to your heart , dear Sister, 
and moreover always to keep in mind what I have written in 
this letter so that you may be able to recognize when the 
occasion arises how much better evidence of the power and 
intelligence of the Order is this to being constantly cheered 
up along the difficult way by incidents such as it is possible 
to explain 
by what 
might 
be considered 
normal 
circumstances. 
Finally, let me insist that it is a definite symptom of 
Magical ill-health when the craving for manifestation of that 
power and intelligence come between the worker and his 
work. 
Love is the law. love under will. 
Fraternally,
