The Inner Life

THE HERALD OF THE NEW AGE | NOVEMBER 1935

who wish to be fully prepared for whatever comes that will decide whether they are of the Old or the New Order.

For at that time we feel in a way “the bells will be closed,” everyone will have “cast his vote” and will thereby have declared to which party he belongs—the right or the left.” And in these polls everyone will declare himself, whether he knows it or not; for those in charge of the polls have the records of all men’s hearts, and from them no one can hide himself or his convictions.
