“Mr. Kingsland: The principle thing is to force out how Altruism, like everything else, can be abused. And the only question for us to decide is whether that is pointed out forcibly enough, or whether anybody can suggest a more forcible illustration.
A Lady: I think it is the most forcible you can find.
Mr. Kingsland: I don’t know anything about Labro, but the majority of people won”t know.
Mme. Blavatsky: He is the last saint who was beatified. For forty years he was sitting on the Piazza di Spagna (A square in Rome).
A Lady: I read a piece in the American newspaper about him. A Nonconformist was calling him over the coals so cruelly because he was not a Protestant, because he was a Catholic, and would not recognize his work.
Mme. Blavatsky: You see how these Christians love each other? Just as much as Theosophists love each other.
A Lady: As much as you love the Roman Catholic.
Mme. Blavatsky: I speak against the system, not against the Roman Catholics. I say, pitch into systems but don’t touch personalities. We have quite enough to do with pitching into systems, because systems are abominable.
Mr. B. Keightley: Then this is on “Charity” (Reads).
Mr. Kingsland: I think it is better to eliminate all reference to any special sect or creed whatever, and I should eliminate Spurgeon’s name.
Mme. Blavatsky: Oh Lord! I must not, because it is a personality, but I do despise the fellow. Very well, we will take out “Spurgeon” and put simply “Fashionable Preacher”. Now I have made two concessions. I have taken out for Mr. Johnson the “Catholic”, and for you, “Spurgeon”.
Mr. Old: Someone will ask you to take out Buddha’s name, presently.
Mme. Blavatsky: “The Most Popular Preacher”.
Mr. Kingsland: I think if you refer to the “Asbestos Soul”, everyone will know who it means.
Mr. Keightley: Theosophy for the Masses”. (Reads). Then the last is: “How Members Can Help the Society”.
Mme. Blavatsky: This is where you have to give your suggestions.
Mr. B. Keightley: (Reads).
Mme. Blavatsky: Give us suggestions what to put more, because I put only that which comes into my head, and I may forget hundreds of things which you Theosophists ought to think about, and see what could be added. Mr. Cobbold came too late, and did not hear the beginning.”
