	A) Carol Ward is an excellent lecturer; she is certainly welcome to
speak at the New York Lodge at any time.

	B) The lecture went into the question of what is an adept in the first
place. In any case, the conclusion was that certainly there are female
adepts (several were mentioned, but not by name, in the Mahatma
Letters). It was also postulated that, since adepts take the form in
which best to do their work, and in the past males were allowed by
culture to do more than females, that adepts used male bodies purely for
convenience's sake.
