1957 4th Edition
THE LOGIA OR THE SAYINGS OF THE MASTER
As Spoken to Him; Recovered In These Days, As Was Foretold By Him.
By J Todd Ferrier
Author Bio: John Todd Ferrier (7 November 1855 — 31 August 1943) was the founder of the Order of the Cross, whose Aims and Ideals state that it is an informal spiritual fellowship, having for its service in life the cultivation of the Spirit of Love towards All Souls: helping the week and defending the defenseless and oppressed: abstaining from hurting the creatures eschewing bloodshed and flesh eating and living upon the pure foods so abundantly provided by Nature: walking in the Mystic Way of Life whose Path leads to the realisation of the Christhood and sending forth the Mystic Teachings unto all who may be able to receive them - those Sacred interpretations of the Soul, the Christhood and the Divine Love and Wisdom for which the Order of the Cross stands.
He considered that fostering compassion towards creatures was a central part of realizing Jesushood within the soul. He was an advocate of vegetarianism from a Christian point of view.
Synopsis: Shows that the Master, Jesus Christ's teaching revealed a way of life completely pure, imbued with compassion for all creation and full of the healing power of Divine Love. This book states that the sayings, however simple, are profound, because they speak of eternal verities which have correspondences within every soul, of whatever race of creed.
The Order of the Cross is a Christian theosophical group founded in 1904 by former Congregational minister J. Todd Ferrier (1855-1943). Born and raised in Scotland, Ferrier began to read theosophical and other esoteric materials that led him to a very different understanding of the purpose and mission of Jesus. He resigned from the monastery in 1903 and the following year began what was to become his life's work. The first sign of his new ministry was the initial issue of a new periodical, The Herald of the Cross, which continues in publication to the present. He also began work on what were to become his two most important books, The Master: His Life and Teachings (1913) and The Logia, or Sayings of the Master. He moved to London, where he established the order's headquarters. Important in Ferrier's development was participation in the animal rights movement. He became a vegetarian, which he described as a "bloodless" diet, and campaigned against vivisection. It led him to adopt what he termed the Christ-life, a path of self-denial, self-sacrifice, and self-abandonment to the Divine Will.
