[p. 2]

A wise statesman, whose name we cannot recall, once said “If we but knew what troubles our world we might, perhaps, fix it. The quandary is that we do not know.”

That is true. We do not know. We are still too near on primate days to know. We are not sufficiently unfolded as spiritual beings to recognize the fact that the cause of our world-trouble lies in that one naked fact that we are still too near our primacy to know how to build an enduring foundation.

This is a transition point for man, however, for tens of thousands of our people are far advanced in the unfolding of their spiritual natures. These are the seed of future cosmic ages. It is to these that we address these words to tell them what actually is the matter with the world. They will comprehend, even if our words have no meaning to mass-man. These only, are the ones who will transform the world in the eleventh hour of its danger, if it can be transformed. We hope it still can, but it has fallen farther in fifty years than it had gained in eight centuries.
