OMEN, Holland, August 5th. Hoping to receive a divine revela- tim from the World Teacher through his earthly vehicle,, J. Fishnamurti, the slim, handsome Hindu Messiah, some 3,000 disciples from all parts of the world gather ed here this morning to attend the Sixth International Congress of the Order of the Star in the East which opens this afternoon, says a United Press message in the Manila Times. The sessions, which will last until August 13th, will be held in the open with mystical scenes at night around a sacred fire.
Dr. Annie Besant, famous theoso- phist and Protector of the Order, will take a prominent part in the Congress and will deliver a num- ber of addresses. The religious ceremonies however, will be person ally presided over by the young prophet, who, with bis black flash- ing eyes, olive skin and striking LTD.features, resembles the late Rudolph
Valentino of the screen.

Although the Congress will be replete with mystic rites and occult forms there will be no atempt om to perform miracles. Unlike other prephets of history, Krishnamurti does not believe in them and has ordered that persona suffering from diseases, ranging from bails to leprosy, be excluded from the meet- ing regardless of their devotion to the faith.
The open-air village of the Order, which is open all year around, bas been greatly enlarged for the occasion. Several hundred extra tents and huts have been erected to accommodate
