To round off this evening, here's another good quote from Cyril Scott's "The
Initiate in the New World"

"If the Society is to remain a great force for good in the world, & I
fervently hope it will do so, then for one thing its members must uproot
cowardice. There have been cowards who have run away at the moment of
danger, and instead of giving a hand at the pumps, have deserted the ship.
It doesn't matter whether the danger has appeared in the form of a scandal,
having for its basis some kink in the nervous system of one of its members,
or whether dissensions have arisen around opinions and pronouncements about
the World Teacher. If Brotherhood means anythigng at all, it means standing
by one another not only in moments of safety but also in danger. To my mind
the future of the TS depends before all else on the moral heroism of its
members."
