YESTERDAY AT THE CHURCHES

on the Infallible Head
COURTS MURDERING CHRIST

Swmiona and Addresses by Persons of Many
Different "finds and Teachers of
Varied Doctrines-Extracts
At Unity Church
A sermon in answer to tbe question,
Who Is the Infallible Head of the Chris
tian church? was deliveiei yesterday
morning by the pastor, J. L. Thomson.
The text was "One is your Master, even
Christ: and all ye are brethren"—Mat
thew 23:8.
Tne Christian church is divided into
three great churches— the Greek church,
the Roman church, and the Protestant
cburch. The Greek and Protestant
churches have heads over large organiza
tions; but the chief bishop of tho Roman
church is the only one who claims to be
infallible in ecclesiastical affairs. The
dogma of the infallibility of ths pope
was adopted in July, ISiO, atfer it had
been strongly opposed by some of the
greatest leaders in tba Roman church.
The bishops, archbishops, primates,
presidents of synods, presbyteries and
assemblies, in the Greek and Protestant
churches, frequently assume the antuori
ty of infallibility. "We have no denomi
nation without "its infallible little god.
Tbe assumption of infallibility is forbid
den by Christ. "One is your Master,
even Christ." No other head is mention
ed. He will be the.hoad of His
chnrcb. "I am with you alway, even
unto tne end of tbe world."
"Ye are all oretbren." and equal, and
no one sbould'ustirp authority over the
rest. "The princes of the Gentiles exer
cise dominion over them, and they that
are great exercise authority upon them;
but it shall not be so among you." These
words were spoken to all, but especially
to tbe two ambitious brothers who de
sired chief places in His kingdom. This
shows that Christ favored no organization
among His followers that would be copied
alter tbe constitution of any nation.
Tbe Roman government, being then uni
versal,'it is almost certain that Cbirst re
ferred to its constitntion.
Tbe grand and almost perfect organiza
tion of the Roman church is a copy of
tbe constitution of the Roman empire.
All men must admire its completeness
and power; Dut it certainly has not the
sanction of Christ's teaching. Christ's
disciples were to be absolutely demo
cratic. No one was to loid it over Goo's
heritage. He repudiates the machinery
of government in His church.
Eolesiasticol courts are great lovers of
infallibility, devoted to prejudice, ene
mies of facts, end always preforring their
official authority and dignity to justice.
They act as if they hated the Golden
Rule. They have been defamers ot char
acter, and persecutors since they began.
Every man is a he'etic that was not born
with thoir eyes and their opinions. They
damn tbe search or truth and suspect
every new discovery as a trick of satan.
They have imprisoned aud put to death
some of the noblest men aud women. It
was a court of priests tbat put Christ lo
death; and most courts of th's kind have
been putting Him to death ever since.
It Is a pity that the present good pops
was forced by the college of cardinals to
frown upon tbe celebration of the twen
ty-fifth anniversary of Italian unity.
That was one of tiie grandest events in
the history of Italy, and it deserved the
svmpatby and praise of every lover of
liberty and national unity. This antipa
thy to the Italian government proves
that his holiness is fallible, or rather
tbat tbe college of cardinals is fallible, in
one important thing.
If tbat college would read and study
Christ's words, "My kingdom is not of
tbis world," and if tho church would act
according to Christ's teaching, and give
op forever every pretension to political
snscendancy,and every desire to hold un
taxed church property, it would start
upon a new career of progress and pros
derity. The church would then stand for
spiritual and eternal things only. No
denomination can be trusted in politics.
In order to avoid all suspicions, the
separation of church and state should be
absolute.
The caily Christian societies were or
ganized according to the simple plan ot
the :Jewish synagogue. Each church is
independent of all other churches in the
management of its own affairs, according
to Congregationalism, whicli is the mod
ern representation of the synagogue. In
our own city we have just seen the evils
of the Presbyterian plan of church gov
ernment, which is copied from the con
stitution of the Roman republic, a gov
ernment of senators or ciders. That llt
tle eoclcsisnstical court wbicb tried and
condemned Rev. B. E. Howord last week
feels that it is infallible, that its authori
ty and dignity must be maintained and
acknowledged. That court surely might
have made a better impression by show
ing less.loaning to prejudice, a little mure
fair play, and a greater willingness to fol
low evidence than to raise technical ob
jections. That court, like every ecclesiast
ical court, is a descendant of the court
whica murdered Christ. He who studies
gospel and piepaies himself to be led
by tbe comforter that Christ promised,
tarid He never promised a Catholic or
'rotestant pope) will not go astray.
Christ is tbe only infallible bead of the
Cburch and the Holy Spirit is the only in
fallible interpreter of the gospel.
The Hahatmas
The seventh and last lecture 'of the sor
lesjgiven;, by, Abbott Clarke was delivered
opon the above subject at 118 South
Bpring street last night. One of tbe most
striking features of tne meeting was the
stamp of earnest, thinking and intelligent
life which characterized tho major port
of the deeply attentive audience.
The lecturer said: "The study of the
Mahatmas ib tho study of the evolution
of the soul. The knowledge of Mahatmas
is the knowledge of self and human des
tiny, for they were onse mpn like our
selves. They are now perfected in the
devout part of tbeir nature—are the lead
ers and teachers of tho human race—our
elder brothers.
"If wo believe at all in the laws of evo
lution, wo must accept them and its logi
cal outoome. Anyone must realize how ab
surd it would be to assume that any of
the men now moving in the ordinary
wains of life have reached a state of
spiritual development as great as it is
possible to attain.
"Even Huxley has been led by mater
ialistic science to assert that it is logical
and possible; that there are men evolved
as far beyond us us we are beyond the
black beetle. If material science" leads to
tbis conclusion, which is the only reason
able one, how much more clearly may
these great truths be brought to our
knowledge by the science of soul and
spirit.
J"These elder brothers have been
known to and acknowledged by '.he peo
ple of all nations and all times under var
ious names—as sages, kishis, masters,
adepts, prophets, mahatmas, etc. The
same character has always been ascribeil
to tbem, that of guides, teachers and
helpers of the race. They have reached a
?lane where the solidarity of humanity,
be oneness, the eternal broterhood
ol man, is no longer a theory, but a fact.
Therefore their object is to aid and up
lift their Druthers.
"Ordinary men too seldom rise above
the physical plane, hut tbe masters work
on the higher plane—the realm of
causes. They have their great central
lodgo, which has existed througn count
less ages,and bas always been represented
through some'garb or ether to the outer
wotld. No movement having for its ob
ject tbe uplifting of the race bas ever been
inauguiuted in whit-it they have not been
concerned and have been the invisible
helpers. They have wurked in the
churches, among tbe Rosiorucians and
the lotlgaa of the Masons. At present
they havo founded the <-Theosophical
society as tho channel through which
they can best teach humanity. In all
ages they have given to mall as much
spiritual and occult knowledge as he has
been able to receive. So now they have
given through the writings of fit, P.
lilavatsky, their agent in this great
movement, a Hood of light, which those
who have sufficiently developed their
spiritual light may discern and profit by.
Nothing given|in termer times or teach
ings Is denied or contradicteo. but much
that is obscure in the Bible and in other
writings is explained and shown to be
logical, consistent and true.
"Theosophic literaturo is replete witb
kuowiedge not known to the world prior
to the year 1875, when the society was
first founded in New York. There are
many degrees of atlcptship, all the way
from the lower disciple, or child, up to
the highest Mahatma. Each has a body
according to his particular degree of
development. The lower orders have
bodies similar to our own; those more
advanced have, bodies more ethereal,
more spiritualized. With these the body
ia an instrumnt to bo thrown aside at
will. Each has his permanent 'thought
body," which he can project through any
stibuancc, to any distance,
"In the future of America," the speak
er saitl. "there would be great schools
Ol western occultism and pilosophv. in
which the secrets of the ancients and ol
nature would all he r.taught. To prepare
for this the th-'osophical movement has
been started, ln its literature is con
tained an epitome of ancient religion,
science and philosophy, condonsed and
epitomized systematized by the adopts to
meet the needs of tne present times and
the requirements of the new lines of
evolution."
Next Sunday's lecture will be delivered
by Mr. E. E.Gissss in Odd Fellowj' hall,
on Main street, between Second and
ThirJ. Mr. Clarke will visit l'asadena,
Pomona. Ontario and Riverside anil
Santa Barbara before returning to San
Francises.
Church ol the Nazarene
In tlij church of the Nazarene, at 317
South Main afreet, the morning sermon
yesterday was preached hy Dr. J. P. Wid
ney from the words of Christ to Peter,
"Follow Me.' —Matt, iv: 19.
The sermon gave an exposition of the
text and what this call meant to Peter.
The second portion explained the plans
and purposes of the new work in tho city
mission Said. Following is a Drief out
line of Dr. Widuey's sermon:
"What is meant by the command, 'Fol
low Me? Notice that Christ does not
say, 'Accept the creed which I frame';
'Observe tno church forms or rituals I
devise.' He only said, 'Follow Ma.' It
was as though he had said 'Come, live
My life with Me.'
"Have you ever stopped to think that
Christ hail no church edifice for His ser
vice; gave no forms save a simple prayer
that a child may repent: framed no for
mal creed? The nearest to a creed was
when He was asked, 'Master, which is
tbe great commandment in the law." and
the reply was: 'Thou sbalt lovo the Lord
thy God with all thy heart and with all
tny soul and with all tny mind.' And
the second is like unto it. 'Thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself.' tin these
two commandments hang all the law and
tne prophets.
"It is tho simple Christ life which the
world hungers tor and wnicb gives birth
to the cry that goes up from all lands, We
are tiredof forms and creeds; let us co
back to Christ. And It is this Christ life
which we are to take out witb us and
teach and live in this city mission work
which is our chosen field.
"Yet the question has been asked,
'Why not do this work under present
church lines with their machinery, in-
of forming a new organization for
it?' The question contains its own an
swer— it iB because of the macbiner.'.
It was not deemed wise to take the
machinery and the methods which have
already been tested and found in some |
way to be inadequate to the work.
"Our name—The church of the Naza
rene, wiich came to us with prayer, is
the name which especially expressed the
toiling, lowly mission of Christ, the
name whicli "he used of Himself, the
name Which was used in derision of Him
by His enemies, tho name which above
ail others links him to the great toiling,
struggling, sorrowing heart of tho world.
"It is Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, to
whom tbe world iv its misery and de
spair turns that it may have hope.
"The thought of this city mission work
is not new. Years ago my wife and my
self had occasion to pass through the
beart of the city ono Sabbath afternoon.
As we lookett upon the crowded streets
the thought of this work came to us,
the thought that some one must go back,
j not simply send, but go, and to take up
this work. With the years came other
work to be done, yet the thought of this
was always like a hurden upon Us, and
we could not rest. By other pathways
Dr. Breseo was approaching the work
through tho years. The day came when
we both found the old work done, the
old ways closed, and one common path
way opening up before ds. We simply
claspd hands and said. It is of God. We
will enter together.
"And yet other hearts, with the same
burden upon ttiem, were coming by yet
other pathways. Today we stand as a
bo-na of Christian workers and together
we enter in and tako up the toil.
Lectures on Inspiration
W. J. Colville lectured on Inspiration
at Music hall yesterday afternoon and
evening, previous to each lecture Pro
fessor E. A. Whitelaw rendered exquisite
violin solos. Tbo speaker contended that
the true idea of inspiration was that ex-
Ercssed by Samuel Longfellow in his
eautiful hymn-
God of ages and of nations,
Every race anil every clime
Hath received thine inspirations,
Glimpses of thy birth sublime.
Aspiration is the cause, inspiration is
the effect. Inspiration invariably pro
ceeds from whatever sphere or state of
nervousness we are most In harmony
with internally. As to our infallible ren
dition of truth, all truth when known at
all is known infallibly, and whoever re
veals the truth Is to that extent an infal
lible teacher. The authority ot the true
Christ is not a personal authority vested
in n historic personage, for could it be
proved that every word and act attribu
ted by the four evangelists to tbe Gali
lean Jesus had been spoken and professed
by teachers who lived thousands of years
before tho year 1 of the present era,
this discovery would detract nothing
whatever from tne intrinsic and practical
value of the sermon on the mount or any
other portion of tho Now Testament.
Inspiration comes to all wno are pre
pared for it. No secret socioties can veil
truth from those who are ready to spon
taneously discover it, nor can any myste
rious order confer knowledge on any who
have not developed the capacity to com
rrehend. There is a valid reason for the
inferiority of people getting little fresh
inspiration, and this reason is two-fold.
They desire simply to hear their own
opinions %choed and they condemn as
false whatever does not jibe with their
prejudices. Spiritual, moral or raligio us
truth is only apprehensible in the same
way that till other phases of truth can he
apprehended. The state of mind wh.ch
determines to Know the truth and is w-lH
ing to barter everything for truth is ab
solutely sure nf receiving not all truth,
I for truth is infinite and our capacities are
finite and progressive, but all necessary
truth; and by this is meant all the truth
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNTNG, OCTOBER 21, 1895.
wo need to embody in our present life
work.
Inspiration cannot be confined to any
age. It belongs to eternity. Neither can
it be circumscribed by any organization,
lor Its home is infinity. God. who is no
respecter of times, persons or places, is
through the making of immutable law a
respecter of conditions. Fulfill the con
ditions and you or any one will gain the
prize. The real value of a record of past
inspirations is to illustrate the operation
of tbe unchanging law through whioh it
came in days of old. Whatever exception
may partly be taken to liigersoll's buf
foonery, his call tor a miracle today to
substantiate those of olden date is logi
cal and rational. There never was an age
ot miracles; tberfore it has never censed.
The mighty works performed by valiant
men and women of old are performable
today by all who will live the superordi
nary life necessary to their accomplish
ment.
With regard to metaphysical preaching
the lecturer spoke strongly in tavor of
testing the claims of all systems which
appealed to the public for 'countenance,
and he declared that health, joy, success
and all blessings wero Obtainable In a
lawful and orderly .nannei by alt who
undertake to regulate their lives in har
mony with a discoverable but unalterable
law offering.
At the close of both discourses Mr.
Barney made 6onie interesting roniarus
on the subject of spiritual mediumship.
W. J. Colville will deliver eight more
lectures in Music ball, previous to liis de
parture for San Francisco. They will bo
given this week, Monday, Thursday and
Saturday at 2:30, and on Tuesday, Thurs

East Los Angeles Baptist Church
In the presence of a large audience Rev.
George E. Dye delivered a sermon at the
East Los Angeles Baptist church yesterday
morninc on Applied Christianity. For
tho foundation of his remarks lie took
the wolds whioh constituted the first text
from which Christ spoke to the assembled
multitude at Nazareth: "Tho spirit of
the Lord is upon Me,because He hath an
ointed Mo to preach the gospel to the
poor, Ho hath sent me to heal the broken
hearted, to preach deliverance to the cap
tives and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty them that aro bruised.'
lie said in brief:
"Does the church represent Christ in
these particulars? In some quarters it
does, in other quarters it does not. The
poor do not always have the gospel
preached to them. The church should
not be satisfied to give to the poor ttie
Eazarous missions and crowd
ot the high-toned churcnes. The poor
are entilted to the best the cnurch can
afford. There may be a chasm between
tbe church and the laboring man in some
quarteis, but there is none between the
Fait Los Angeles Baptist church and the
workingman. Every Sunday the laboring
men and their families .are seen in tiie
pews and they aro welcome. The
ing men know toey have a friend in this
church. Last week a laboring man re
fused,to drive a nail on Sunday in front
of the church if he lost his job.
"Christianity has not changed, but
it has changed and is still changing its
speech, its voice and its accent. Twenty
live years ago scarcely an allusion was
made from the pulpit to the rights of
man. Inequalities of opportunity and
privilege,contrasts and conflicts of classes
the oppression of wealth and the wrongs
of working men, women and children,
were not alluded to. Now the speech and
voice of the pulpit in intelligent and
spiritual quarters are changing. Love
toward our fellow man is emphasized.
Tiie uplifting of humanity, the practical
aid to the oppressed, the relief of the
sick, are the special plea. Tho brother
hood of man is set forth in more earnest
appeal. The royal law of St. James is ap
plied.
"The aim of the church in the past has
been to save men out of the world in
stead of perfecting men to live in the
world and harmonize themselves with
tbeir envirotimnets. Men are no less
ntted for another life, but they aro fitted
for the (next life by being fitted for the
life that now Is. In order to get to
heaven they must have a heaven to get to
heaven in. Applied Christianity calls
for relieving the captive from sin, recov
ering him from the blindness of ignor
ance and superstition, healing the
broken-hearten by calling nun and
women to love, hy calling legislatures to
justice, commercial men to honesty, so
ciety to leave off its shams and planting
all men everywhere on the principles of
self-sacrifice. Existing society is estab
lished on talse principles. Every man
for himself is the motto. Order is pre
served by standing armies and selfishness
is the rule. Applied Christianity calls
for a change to the fair principles of
hrist whien ore ths principles of love,
equity and fairness.
"Christ was rich but fnr our sake He
became He sacrificed Himself to
aid humanity, to condescend to men of
low estate. He sent out the twelve and
the seventy and tbey returned, saving
the very devils wore subject to us. Why?
Because they were actuated by principles
of love and self-sacrifice. The crucifixion
of selfishness would uring down the new
heaven to tbo new earth. It men would
quit fighting lor their rigths and fight for
righteousness we would soon see the
golden age of Christianity in the brother
hood of man.
"The new heaven and tho new earth
will come and is coming in proportion as
each person applies tbe teachings of
Christ to himself and his surroundings.
We have all of heaven on earth now that
we wish. We can have more as we ap
ply ourselves and sacrifice to bring tbe
teucnings of Christ into our every-day
lives."
The Rev. Mila Tupper Maynerd
Rev. Mila Tupper Maynard preached
yesterday morning in Blaochard it Fitz
gerald hall, on the subject, Quiet Resting
Places, taking her text from Isaiah, 32-17
and 18: "The work of right men shall be
peace; and the effect of righttousnes
quietness and assurance forever. And
ivy people shall abide i.i a peaceable
habitation and iv sure dwellings and in
quiet resting places."
"In the ordinary affairs oflife practical
persons are on the alert for result. They
eek definite tests by which to judge suc
cess. In the moral side of life, while we
may be as earnest in our purpose'as in
business matters, we are less apt to seek
returns in any specific result. Yet there
is a measure by which we ought to judge.
It is akin to the tests of physical con
dition. Health of body brings freedom
from pain—enorgy and buoyant life.
Health of spirit should yield results akin
to this. Calmness, joy, harmony— these
are tho natural conditions of the soul in
the iight life. Disease, unrest, gloom —
these nave no place in the normal moral

Young Women's Cnristlan Association
At the Y. M. C. A. meeting the study
of thejinternational Sunday school lesson
one week in advance was begun yester
day at 3 o'clock - This woik is designed
to aid Sunday school teachers in prepar
ation of their lesson for tho following
Sunday and also for all young women not
in Bible classes elsewhere. The genoral
secretary led the opening study of the
lesson and Dr. Kate C. Moody gave a
very suggestive blackboard outline of tho
work.
"The gospel meeting at 3:4filwas ad
dressed by Mrs. L. A. Ross upon tbe top

follows: "Jesus came to a nation which
Wai groaning unrter burdens laid Upon it
by ceremonial laws enacted by the aris
tocracy and by the Roman government.
He saw Ihe politic al unrest of the world,
and that its origin was in the individu
al unrest. Re said: 'Como unto Me all
yo thai are weary and heavy laden and I
will give you rest. 'My yoke is easy and
My burden is lizht.' Jesus' re
straints are light. Rigbl desires make
light burdens and an easy yoke. One
great cause of unrest was found to bo
sensitiveness. The cure for sensitiveness
is simply to keep covered. 'But on the
whole .ifmor of God, that ye may be able
to stand against the wiles of the devil —
(Eph., 6:11). We are a batllegrouud be

is a manifestation of self life. If that

Etiquette Among Paupers
Anyone anxious to meet a sturdy ill
mannered pauper may he recommended to
apply to William Driscoll, late of the
city of London Union poorhouse, and
now of one of her majesty's jails. While
ihe inmates of tho institution mentioned
were enjoying their Sunday dinner Dris
coll peremptorily and insolently ordered
another rate-supported person to pass the
salt. A mild companion in spectacles
on the other side ot the table suggested
that Driscoll should address his fellows
as tme gentleman should another, and
say "Please pass the salt." This raised
all the native dignity which lurked in
the sturdy saltless individual's breast,and
he loudly proclaimed that he would
not consent to take lesons in etiquette
from any psuper, and even threatened
blows. When tho labor-master interfered
Driscoll told him that were it not for
tho uniform he wore he would "take the
rise" nut of him' and altogether behaved
in such an unruly manner that, lie was
given Into custody. He was described as
the terror of tbe poorhouse. and Mr. Paul
Taylor sent him to prison foi seven days.
If Driscoll nad more salt and less
rations ho might be a much milder man.
