You may find similar stories, not to the same extent indeed, in Mr.Sinnett's book, _The Occult World_.

There we find similar instances, similar marvels worked by H.P.B.in order to arouse his attention, and to prove to him the existence of certain laws; which otherwise would have remained, so to speak, in the air.

So there were also there a large number of unusual happenings--letters in pillow-cases, letters on branches of trees, and so on.

You would all do well to re-read the _Old Diary Leaves_ or _The Occult World_.

Each one of you should deliberately ask himself: "Why do I believe these things to be true ?" Because it seems to me that most members of the Theosophical Society are rather slipping into the position of the modern Christian, that in order that a miracle may be true it must be old, and if it happens nowadays it must immediately be discredited.
That is not rational.
