were fundamentally one. TiTere is more pre-
judice and bigotry centred rotmd religion than
anywhere else, and there is more hatred and
ill-feeling. These ill-feelings have often grown
into fends and even into wars, and we see signs
of it to-day even in our so-called civilised world.
This is the reason why 1 have said that a
spirit of Brotherhood cannot come into the
world until prejudice against religion has ceased
and that prejudice is replaced by the know-
ledge that each religion has its place in the
world.

That all religions need revivifying, cleansing
of all the dross which has largely hidden the gold
goes without saying. None are exempt, but
the world evolves. There is no real retrogres-
sion and some of us who look forward to the
near coming of the World-Teacher know that
He will help to give back to the world the
Treasure it has caused to be hidden, and that
He will present again to us the Gems that we
in our blindness have thrown aside. Shall we
recognise Him, shall we know a Treasure when
it is put in front of us, and shall we distinguish
a Gem when it is shining in our midst? This
will all depend upon where our eyes are centred
and for what we are seeking. D f
