Re: Theos-World Bart's reference to Paul's arsenal of truth

Dear Steve,

Could you, or anyone else, point me to the page references within 
the Alice Bailey works, where I might find the statements that lead 
you to this conclusion: 

"Alice Baley's thesis that inferior races
need to be wiped out so that high church Englishwomen
like hersefl can proliferate is pretty nasty". 

I read most of her works, years ago, but never found anything that 
led me to that conclusion. Perhaps I need to take another look. 
Thanks.

Louis
