8 YESTERDAY AT THE CHURCHES Rev. J. S. Thomson's Discourse on the Infallible Head COURTS MURDERING CHRIST Pilate la Palestine and Presbytery la Los Angeles 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 day nnd Friday at 8 p.m., aud Bnnday, October 27th, at 2:30 and 7 :3U p.m. Sub ject lor this afternoon : Mahatmas; Who and What Are They ? 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.

Many faces otherwise plain are made beautiful hy the quietness and assurance and the quiet resting placo and the peace lies embedded in the very wrinkles in their foreheads.

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 ic llest and Finest."Sho spoke in part as 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 tween God and satan. Such sensitiveness is a manifestation of self life. If that which happens around us affects us di rectly anti not as a tning coming from or lovingly permitted by Goa for our educa tion it is self-evident that He is not be tween us nnd that which BO affects us. Wo are not aimed ;or not fully armed with the armor of God, Let us he glad to let God have ilis way with us and know that the unrest of our hearts will give way to the peace that passeth understanding.' " jfter an earnest prayer service the meeting closed with the snug, Anywhere With Jesus I Can Safely Go. Christ In Art At the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation the first of a scries of illus trated addresses on Christ in Art was given yesterday afternoon by the Rev. C. T. Douglass of l'asadena. Stereopticon views ot i'atostine and its cities and cop ies of runny works of art depicting the early life oi Christ were shown upon the canvas Next Sunday there will boa con tinuation of the subject.

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. — London Telegraph.
