you should get a younger man in good health and one not barred
from the necessary mental strain and hard work. On two previous
occasions when I had planned to resign, my decision was overruled
unanimously, by the Delegates assembled. The third time, Mahatma
M. appeared to me, and commanded me to continue as President of
the Society. The fourth time I decided to resign was about eight

days ago. was expressing my intention to some friends who were
sitting quietly by my bedside, and they were protesting against my
decision, when Mahatma M. again appeared, and with a commanding
gesture rebuked my intention, and once more told me to remain
President of the Society so long as I should be in my body. After
answering other personal questions (one of which I shall touch upon
317 later) He gave His blessing to us all and disappeared.
2
38 It would be impossible for me to disobey such a command, and
7
08 so I shall remain, going on with the work, trusting that some earnest

debating on many knotty questions, settling disputes, and was much
pleased to find that good work was being done by faithful members in
the different Branches.
I
Returning to London, was confronted by one of the saddest
duties I was ever called upon to fulfil. My beloved friend and co
worker, Mr. C. W. Leadbeater, one who had been associated with
me since 1884, and who had done such splendid work for the
Society in many countries, was accused of giving advice to young
boys that was considered to be dangerous, and contrary to Theosophic
teachings. He was notified by me to come before the Council of
the British Section, which had met as an Advisory Board, to re
commend to me what action to take, after hearing Mr. Leadbeater's
17 statement. He did not deny the charges, and it was decided to
3
2
8 accept his resignation. Because there has been so much unpleasant
3
7 I
08 ness and criticism in this affair, and because of the great love have
3
43 always had, and still have for Mr. Leadbeater, I determined to set
3
3
p. my mind at rest upon the question, as to whether the teachings of
y
n
7/ his, to which we objected, were right or wrong. So when Mahatma
2
20 M. came to me last Friday night, I asked Him the question, and He
net/gle replied, " Wrong." Now there remains but this for me to say. I

reciprocity and brotherly friendship, which exists to a great degree
between the Sections and Branches of our Society throughout the
world. I caught a severe cold on the second day of the Congress,
and unfortunately could not give my farewell address, which in
disposition clung to me almost the entire time of my Western tour.
At the meeting of the Society at Antwerp and Brussels I en
joyed seeing the enthusiasm of the members, and was pleased to
find that good work was being done by many individual ones. After
spending a certain time to recuperate at my dear friends the Shur-
manns at s'Graveland, I sailed for America August 24rth, Mr. Shur-
mann accompanying me. I arrived safely at Boston, where I spent
a few days, then left for the West, lecturing at several towns on my
7
1 way to the Chicago Convention. I found things in a bad state
3
2
38 there, owing to the differences of opinion in the Leadbeater matter,
7
08 and at one time a split seemed inevitable. Fortunately advices came
3

4 from Mrs. Besant approving of our having accepted his resignation,
3
3
p. which poured oil over troubled waters, and the Convention turned
y
n

2

has been curtailed, let me at least hope, that in this beloved Adyar,
my devoted work may come to a full fruition, and that when the time
appointed comes for me to sink to rest from the labours attending
it in the physical body, I may be allowed the blessed privilege
of remaining near the earth in company with H.P.B. and guided by
the Masters, to continue in a less limited body, the work that is so
dear to my heart.
I regret much that my illness has made it impossible for me to
answer all the letters from members, asking for advice in personal
trials, troubles and discouragements. But I shall take this opportunity
(knowing that many of them are now here) to send them a word of
sympathy and advice.

ADYAR LIBRARY REPORTS.
—
To the President-Founder, T.S. : Handing over to you the
Annual Report of the Librarian, Pandit G. Krishna S'astri, I have to
add to it the following remarks :
The valuation of the MSS. according to the number of Granthas
s,of course, amere shift for practical purposes.
i
Much of the work taken in view at the beginning of the year
"
had to be postponed, because acomplete revision of the descriptive
"
slips was found necessary on account of the unscientific way in
which, before the coming of the very able present librarian, the MSS.
had been treated. Although, as far as was possible, the mistakes are
17 now corrected,Ifear that some disjecta membra will have as such
3
82 to enter the subject catalogue, and that otherwise too we might have
3
87 to suffer still under the consequences of the management prior to

of the Digambaras which, however, as yet was not represented in our
Library, except by some prints. Kriya-kalapa (a veryfine copy of old
appearance) is a rare MS. and probably also Triloka-c'udamaiii, only
two other copies being known of the former, viz., an incomplete one
in Poona and a complete one in Strassburg. My visit in the small
village Peramandur (near Tindivanam), which has the largest
Digambara library of that region, was in vain : I was in the temple
and saw some huge boxes said to be full of MSS., but people
refused obstinately to open them or to give me some idea of their
contents, fearing, as I heard afterwards, that I might come back and
steal the MSS. I wanted ! In Mel-Sittamur there is also a temple
library, but that too I was not allowed to see, although people
17 were very friendly. The distrust is so great that as a rule not even
