PAGE 179:

<<... it is precisely the danger of the degeneration of 
Theosophy into a sectarian religion that we must 
prevent, and that fate has already begun and is 
proceeding apace in the largest of the Theosophical 
Societies, so called, existing today. I don't care to 
point more particularly. It was because of this danger 
being imminent that the need for checking things, for 
'separating the sheep from the goats,' has become so 
great at the present time. The Theosophical Movement 
must be kept pure and inspired by the original 
unadulterated teachings derived from the flow of 
inspiration from the Great Lodge. The Theosophical 
Movement must not be allowed to degenerate into a 
dogmatic religion, into a sectarian faith.>>
