All other congregations, not presided over, nevertheless conduct their work according to democratic principles, losing no opportunity to keep within the spirit of the times, and for this reason there need be no anxiety as everyone knows the place assigned them, and know the modus operandi to be followed.

Everyone keeping within their range and with Kenneth H. Woolson as manager of the Publication Department the Master can move with greater ease among the centers and give out what may deem meet and right to do at this time of the great windup and culmination of events.

Seattle is the next focusing point for the Master to drive the stakes and mine the prospect for the good of all.

Let us all have a talk of our own and prove our interest in the home of our God, walking with Him in the cool of the evening and discourse upon the treasures laid up in heaven for the Saints of God on earth to enjoy.

Is it not time for the better class to begin entertaining ideas that will lead toward the cultivation of a higher race of human beings? A little thought and attention in the right direction might yield surprising results.

VOICE FROM CALCUTTA

I am really very much honored by your kind correspondence of April 29 last, in reply to my letter No. 115M of March 10, enclosing therewith two Avesta Song books, and various leaflets on Mazdaznan Literature, together with copies of Mazdaznan from January to May, 1920, also the second and fourth parts on Mazdaznan, for which I really feel very thankful to you.

It is really a very gratifying thing that such a Society does exist, for the uplifting of ignorant and helpless persons, who can greatly benefit themselves, spiritually, physically, as well as materially if they simply follow and persevere the splendid writings contained therein.

I shall soon begin reading the various issues of Mazdaznan, so kindly sent by you for my guidance, and as soon as I will finish same, I shall send for a copy of Yehoshua or The Life of Christ, with remittance, $5.00 in full, as I want to read Mazdaznan studiously, and therefore it will take some time.

In the mean while, allow me to tender your Reverence, my sincere gratitude to

wards you, for so nobly uplifting the cause of Mazdaznan, and to offer my sincere friendship to all the members of the Mazdaznan Society, and offering my humble services to any member who may be in need of same, to the utmost of my power, I remain, most reverend sir,

Your most obedient servant,

A. H. M. BADSHAH.

ON THE WAVES OF ETHER

My love for God and thee is the key that unlocks all mystery of earth and heaven.

When books fail thee to unlock the mysteries of nature, take it all to God in prayer.

It may seem rather simple to rely upon the guidance of the Infinite, yet it is the only true guide in whom we may confide our heart's secrets.

Even as the heliotrope denotes "devoted attachment" so should we practice what we preach.

Mignonette stands for "intellectual beauty"; may then the scent thereof reveal the "laws of life unto simplicity in beauty."

Count time by heart throbs and you will not be idle for a minute.

He who thinks good of his neighbors feels the noblest and acts the best.

Life is but a means unto better ends.

In the beginning lies the end and the end is but another beginning.

ADDENDA TO RESEARCH

In an investigation carried on at odd times the undersigned has found corroborative testimony as to the antiquity of Mazdaznan as recorded in the writings of noted Orientalists. True, we do not believe in authoritative institutions, yet when these same authorities acknowledge the truth of various statements frequently made by our Master, we take the liberty of quoting them as an indorsement of his position.

Max Muller has been one of the few quoted heretofore, and he has said that "Mazdaznan is the religion that stands behind all other religions."

There are some others whom we desire to add to the list, but at present shall mention

only the following. If authorities and authoritative institutions will conduct like investigations they may learn much of value to themselves and their antiquated institutions.

Loren Harper Whitney, in his book "Zoroaster the Great Persian," says: "He (Zoroaster) brot a new doctrine into the world, or at least so intensified an old one as to link his name inseparably to it forever.

"No history of religions can ever be written without giving him many pages. That he labored seduously for the material and spiritual welfare of his people no one who will read his works can gainsay. There was, it would seem, a sharp necessity for his appearing as a teacher and guide to the Iranians, and he came in the fulness of time.

"The morals of his people were made the better for his coming. He did not make war on the old Aryan Gods, but simply passed them by. He taught that there was one God, Ahura Mazda, and the maker of heaven and earth, who would reward man for good deeds, and punish him for bad ones. Where he got this idea, I cannot tell. It may have been announced before him, but if so, that feebler
