ORDER OF THE STAR IN THE EAST

On Sunday last, at the Star in the East Toom, Woodward Street, Miss Christie gave a very interesting lecture on "Christ: Man, Master, Mystery." Miss Christie said that no more beautiful figure —none more worshipped—than the Christ had ever appaaTed m history, standing head and shoulders above the others. The same in all religions, no matter what He is called. It is always He who we call the Christ that is worshipped, embodied in the centre of every religion, and round him the teaching is woven. The Order of the Star has as its special work the binding together of all religions into one to prepare the world for the coming of a world teacher. Eeach will call Him by the name he knows Him by in his own heart, and when He comes each will 6ee Him through his own spectacles, or temperament, and to no two persons will He appear the same. He will come in a human form, so that we may truly feel He is truly man, and yet He will be the Master who has trod all the way we have to go, who has .conquered death and sin while He was still a man, not superman, and because of that is now the Master and knows that he is the conqueror, that He is at one with God. When there is chaos in the world, when might is taken for right, then He comes to heal and comfort the wounded, sorrowing hearts, but only as we have fostered the Christ spirit in ourselves shall we have the power to respond, to know who it is that is on earth in a human body, ond if we have earned the honour, we shall have tlie bliss of hearing His and feeling the touch of His hand, and being by that contact lifted many steps onward and up ward on the path of evolution, and herein is the mystery. .
