It may be that it is preparing for a greater and a nobler life, making the place ready for some greater one to come, who shall worthily and strongly wield the power that I am bound to wield too weakly, but yet, perhaps, strongly enough to make that preparation possible.

Perhaps you and I together are strong enough and wise enough to till the field, where another shall sow the seed that shall grow up into a greater civilisation and mark a step forward in the history of humanity.

That is our great opportunity, that the possibility that I see opening before us in this policy now changed for the second time.

It may be that we have learned enough in the last eighteen years to tread this path rightly, to tread it sufficiently to prepare a field for a greater one to come; and that is the hope in which I live at the present time.

I believe that it is possible, if only we can rise to the height of our great opportunity, that someone will come from the far-off land where greater than we are living, and take this instrument and make it fit to be a tool in a Master's hand--some Disciple greater and mightier than I, someone belonging to the same company, but far wiser and far stronger than I.And that such a one will take this Movement and make it a little more what the heart of the Masters desires--more truly a Brotherhood, more full of knowledge, more really linked to the higher worlds by a centre of wise Occultism--that seems to me the great possibility which is opening before us.
