Purpose We Have All at Heart: Dissemination of TRUTH Conveyed by Whatever Religious Channel
“This is not the desire alone of either of us two, known to Mr. Sinnett, or of both, but the express wish of the Chohan Himself. Mrs. Kingsford’s (Dr Anna Kingsford) election is not a matter of personal feeling between ourselves and that lady but rests entirely on the advisability of having at the head… Read More
