Ehitnrial
&,b,i,,i,% HEN the work of any organization is com-
.ft 41, pleted it begins to decay and finally dies.
-fi 4{» For "Use determines all qualities, whether
'P 4{~ good or evil," and when a thing is of no
*'l*'*'*¥*3 use it passes away. How do these statements
apply to the Esoteric Work. Is it completed? If
it is, it will die.
It certainly has not accomplished the
end for which it- was organized-the gathering of the
144,000 of the first ripe fruit of the earth-a body of
people who have overcome death in themselves, and who
will go on maturing until they have reached a stage of
development so high that everything _on the earth will
have ascended a higher degree of evolution. We know
that Brother
Butler laid the foundation of this work
thru the guidance of that great body of Elohim; and we
believe that this same body will guidefit thru to its ultimate.
For YAHVEH hath said "I will work, and who
shall turn it back ?"
THE Fraternity is the recipient from friends, of many,
very many letters, paying loving tribute to the memory
of our dear departed Brother Butler,-friends who have
received great benefit from his teachings, and who feel
deeply his loss. But we do not publish many of these
letters, simply because this magazine has been kept in
circulation for thirty years in order to present the truth
to the people.
His aim was ever to avoid personality,
therefore, we who are left will try to follow his custom
in this particular and not present personality but truth.
