	The Order of the Star in the East by Professor E.A. WODEHOUSE
		The Order of the Star in the East is intended to be a world-wide Order, not merely in the territorial sense, but in the sense that it can leave none outside its ranks who, holding that common hope, desire to enter.
		The Order will but enlist itself in an army which is already enrolled, but it may surely do something to give to the work of that army an aim and a hope which it had not before.
		Thus the first task of the Order should be, wherever minds are aspiring upwards to a larger light, to endeavour to personalise those aspirations; to breed, at any rate, a sense of expectation, an acknowledgment of the possibility of the promise, which will go far to kindle recognition when He comes.
