I want to add that I have personally known numerous members of E.S. who are
really dedicated members and each of them tried to put into practice the
first object of TS and have tried to do the best to TS and Theosophy and I
consider it my good fortune and previlege to have known them. Also I have
known several members of TS who are not ES members who are as dedicated to
TS and Theosophy as well.
