COMING WORLD TEACHER.

THEOSOPHISTS’ GATHERING. DISCORD REPORTED. LONDON, Jan. 12. The Daily Sketch says many English theosophists bitterly oppose tho gathering at Adyar, India, where Mrs Annie Besant, "Bishop” Leadboater, and other delegates from the Tlieosophical Society’s branches, await the coming of a world teacher, to be incarnated in tlio body of Krishnamurti, a young Hindu. They consider there is nothing to show that Krishnamurti is a genuine new Messiah. Mr William Haro, a member of the National Council of English thcosophists, declares that Mrs Besant and her follow-apostles profess to have tho ability to travel on the higher "astral” plane, and are inducing credulous peopio to believe them. "Many of us,” ho says, "objected to this ‘Messiah,’ whoso advent has been foisted on theosophists by the ‘Order of the Star in tho East.’ Mrs Besant, ‘Bishop’ Leadbeater, and ‘Bishop’ Wedgwood, aro now trying to foist the Liberal Catholic Church on Theosophists. "Krishnamurti is a very nice,_ wellmeaning boy, but after receiving a salary of hundreds of pounds a yoar thero is nothing loft for him to do except obediently to pretend that ho is tho now Messiah and to preach the new religion, which is simply tho Liberal Catholic creed, drafted long before Krishnamurti’s advent.V
