THE SECOND ADVENT.

V f Sir,A news item appeared in your valuable columns- last Saturday describing a notable series of meetings held in Melbourne lately, "where the . second advent of Christ was the leading theme. It may interest some of your many readers to know that in this connection tbero is a world-wide organisation called "The Order of the Star in the East," which has for its object the drawing together of those to whom the imminence of -Christ's reappearance amongst men is a vital truth. This Order, which numbera many thousands of members, has branches in all the leading countries of the world, and is a non-sectarian and no-prosely-tising body. It has among its members representatives of all the great religions, sects, and denominations, showing a unity in a diversity, of race and creed, opinion and dogma, unique in the history of organisations. Its members are bound together solely by the one great belief in the coming of the Lord, and the personal preparation for that all-important evodt. This Order is also unique in another way, in _ that it Is preparing to anticipate the coming of the Lord by means of an organised body of men and women' pled to fit themselves as instruments for the Master's use when. He comes. The wide-spread expectation; men- 1 tioned in your report is, in the opinion of many, one of the most noteworthy portents in these momentous times. , • H. W. Yotjno, • Organising Sec.
