Each age, each kindred adds a verse to it.”

Universal Brotherhood or the Brotherhood of Humanity is an organization established for the benefit of the people of the earth and all creatures.

This organization declares that Brotherhood is a fact in nature. The principal purpose of this organization is to teach Brotherhood, demonstrate that it is a fact in nature and make it a living power in the life of humanity.

The subsidiary purpose of this organization is to study ancient and modern religion, science, philosophy and art; to investigate the laws of nature and the divine powers in man.

This Brotherhood is a part of a great and universal movement which has been active in all ages.

Every member has the right to believe or disbelieve in any religious system or philosophy, each being required to show that tolerance for the opinions of others which he expects for his own.

The Theosophical Society in America is the Literary Department of Universal Brotherhood.

The International Brotherhood League is the department of the Brotherhood for practical humanitarian work.

The Central Office of the Universal Brotherhood Organization is at 144 Madison Avenue, New York City.

THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD LEAGUE.

(Unsectarian.)

This organization affirms and declares that Brotherhood is a fact in Nature, and its objects are:

1. To help men and women to realize the nobility of their calling and their true position in life.

2. To educate children of all nations on the broadest lines of Universal Brotherhood and to prepare destitute and homeless children to become workers for humanity.

3. To ameliorate the condition of unfortunate women, and assist them to a higher life.

4. To assist those who are, or have been, in prison, to establish themselves in honorable positions in life.

5. To endeavor to abolish capital punishment.

6. To bring about a better understanding between so-called savage and civilized races, by promoting a closer and more sympathetic relationship between them.

7. To relieve human suffering resulting from flood, famine, war, and other calamities; and generally to extend aid, help, and comfort to suffering humanity throughout the world.

It should be noted that the officers and workers of the International Brotherhood League are unsalaried and receive no remuneration, and this, as one of the most binding rules of the organization, effectually excludes those who would otherwise enter from motives of self-interest.

None of the officers hold any political office, the League is not connected with any political party or organization, nor has it any political character, it is wholly humanitarian and unsectarian.

THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY IN AMERICA.

This Society was formed in 1875 under the name of the Theosophical Society, by H. P. Blavatsky, assisted by W. Q. Judge and others; reorganized in April, 1895, by W. Q. Judge under the name of the Theosophical Society in America, and in February, 1898, became an integral part of Universal Brotherhood Organization.

The principal purpose of this Society is to publish and disseminate literature relating to Theosophy, Brotherhood, ancient and modern religions, philosophy, sciences and arts.

Its subsidiary purpose is to establish and build up a great library, in which shall be gathered ancient and modern literature of value to the great cause of Universal Brotherhood.

SCHOOL FOR THE REVIVAL OF THE LOST MYSTERIES OF ANTIQUITY AT POINT LOMA, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, U. S. A.

Although American in centre, this school is international in character—“a temple of living light, lighting up the dark places of the earth.

“Through this School and its branches the children of the race will be taught the laws of physical life, and the laws of physical, moral, and mental health and spiritual unfoldment. They will learn to live in harmony with nature. They will become passionate lovers of all that breathes. They will grow strong in an understanding of themselves, and as they gain strength they will learn to use it for the good of the whole world.”

The Leader and Official Head wishes it known that there is an Eastern and Esoteric School in which a very large number of the earnest members of the Universal Brotherhood throughout the world are pupils. At present there is no institution where students go to learn these teachings. The studies are carried on in each group under directions from the centre in New York.

In the School for the Revival of the Lost Mysteries of Antiquity there will be an Esoteric Department, in which the higher teachings will be given to such pupils of the Eastern and Esoteric School as are prepared to receive them.

THE ISIS LEAGUE OF MUSIC AND DRAMA (OF THE ART DEPARTMENT OF UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD).

The Isis League of Music and Drama is composed of persons carefully selected by the Foundress, who are interested in the advancement of music and the drama to their true place in the life of humanity. Its objects are:

(a) To accentuate the importance of Music and the Drama as vital educative factors.

(b) To educate the people to a knowledge of the true philosophy of life by means of dramatic presentations of a high standard and the influence of the grander harmonies of music.

Headquarters: 144 Madison Avenue, New York City, and at Point Loma, San Diego, California.

OBITUARY.

We deeply regret to record the passing away on Dec. 30, of Bro. H. T. Lotter, one of the most faithful and earnest workers in Kansas City, after an illness lasting since last Aug. The following resolutions were passed by Lodge No. 47 of Universal Brotherhood, Kansas City, Mo.

Whereas In the economy of Nature, all is subject to change, that which we see being the blossom of seed sown in the long ago in the yesterdays of Eternity which in their turn shall bear seed for futurity’s growth; and

Whereas Time in its onward sweep has closed the Cycle of Active life of him who was erstwhile known to us as Henry T. Lotter gathering for further unfoldment the ripened fruit of an Earth life; now therefore be it

Resolved That in the passing hence of brother Lotter this lodge loses an earnest, enthusiastic and untiring worker in the Cause, its members a staunch, sincere and kind brother and an amiable and gracious friend; and further be it

Resolved That in token of our love and esteem, flowers shall be placed on the rostrum at the public meetings to be held Jan. 8, 15, 22d and that three members be appointed to address the audience in memoriam, also be it

Resolved That our recollections of him can best be kept in our memories, by making his conduct in life our standard of duty.

Chas. E. Hungerford, Pres.

J. Frank Knoche, Sec.

We have also received notice of the passing away from earth-life of two of the oldest workers on the Pacific Coast, Bro. Theodore G. Ed. Wollet of San Francisco, on Dec. 12th, aged 70 years, and Dr. John S. Cook of Sacramento, on Dec. 30th. Both of our brothers will be much missed by their respective Lodges, but the memory of their faithful endeavor for Universal Brotherhood will long be kept in the hearts of their comrades.

A Great Opportunity for Propaganda.

The Ocean of Theosophy

By WILLIAM Q. JUDGE.

A new edition, printed on antique paper and tastefully bound, the paper covers with colored border and the cloth with gilt side stamp.

In the whole range of theosophical literature there is no book so well suited for propaganda work as this. Clear, concise, lucid, it covers the ground in a such a manner as to give the beginner a thorough and connected idea of the fundamental teachings of what is called Theosophy. This it does in a manner greatly in advance of everything purporting to explain the same subjects in a form for general circulation.
