"My first call was upon the Archbishop, Monsignor Mora y del Rio. . . . The archepiscopal palace is near the flower market, in the older part...

Jiddu. About the forest-bound Castle of Eerde, at Ommen in The Netherlands, sat last week the devotees of the Order of the Star in the East (Mrs. Annie Besant's Theosophist cult). The castle had just been donated to them, to be henceforth the capitol* of their faith. About the grounds ran a miniature railway bearing food for the many hundreds who waited in arduous patience to hear a "sweet, penetrating voice" issue from the soft, brown lips of their Jiddu Krishnamurti. In such tones will their "World Teacher" speak when his spirit flitters into Jiddu...
