GLEAN THOUGHTS
FOE TO DISEASE
Dr. MacCormack Delivers Ser
mon on Methods of the Em
manuel Movement
DEMAND SENSIBLE PLATFORM
Believes the Christian Religion Is
Founded on Reason
able Basis
"Are the MflttlOlJa of the TCmmannel
Movement Bane?" was the topic of the
Bermon lasl evening by Rev, W1
MacCormack, dean and rector of j»t.
Paul's pro-cathedral. Dr. MacCor
mack took for his text John 1:39, and
Bald in parl :
"Til. i hrlsttan religion Is founded
upon a reasonable basis and all, there
fore, that profeßß to be related to it
must have ft sensible platform to stand
on. One of the Inter day growths of
this religion along the lines nt prac
tical service Is the Emmanuel move- j
ment.
"Are the methods of the Emmanuel
flovement Fane? Personally I believe
they are, and for the following- rea
sons:
"1. In the first place, thla great en
deavor docs not try to do what from
its standpoint it is not possible to do.
Therefore right at the very thresh
old we find this vital distinction be
tween diseases that are organic and
diseases that are functional.
"Consumption is an organic disease.
Hysteria Is a functional disorder. Now,
the methods that would help hysteria
and kindred troubles would be of no j
use whatever in the. case of organic ;
disorders.
"That is a very important diptlnr- :
tion. and it must commend itself to all ;
sane and rational people. It is a wise
thing always not to try to do what you !
are quite certain you can't do.
"2 The posl/ive methods tlmt nre
employed must commend themselves
likewise to »ur good Judgment. The
emphasis that is put upon the neces
sity of work must seem very si -
to people who have experienced its
value. Many people are sick today be
.cause they have nothing to do but to ;
think about themselves. Satan finds
some mischief still for Idle hands to
do. You can't stop the machinery of ,
the brain. It will work. If you have
'nothing wholesome to think about. |
then you will think about what is not
wholesome.
"3. The Emmanuel movement com
mends itself to our judgment because ■
It is scientific. It is not afraid to take j
the latest discoveries of psychology
and apply them In the strengthening ;
of the body. It is admitted on all J
sides that there is an Intimate kind of
relationship between the mind and the
body, that the former influences tre
mendously the latter. Usually this in
fluence is exrrclsed In a bad way. The
purpose of this movement is to direct
this wonderful force in a pood way and
produce strength, in place of weak- !
ness.
"4. Pome time ago I listened to a ]
very able talk on the powers of heal- ;
Ing. The speaker said we would never i
ed as we wished until we had a
new philosophy of prayer. It is not
my purpose tonight to dwell at length
upon the philosophy of prayer. But in
the Rmmanuel movement it is at the
very first.
"A two-fold value is recognized.
Prayer has a great subjective influ
ence, The man who prays is always a
better man for it, even if he gets no |
tangible answer to his prayers. 'More
things are wrought by prayer than this
world dreams of.' The man who
doesn't pray misses many blessings !
that are very possible through prayer.
"Because the Emmanuel movement
is sensible, scientific, spiritual, it com
mends Itself to my Judgment as emi
nently sane."

Sermon Since His Return

The Temple Baptist auditorium was

Robert J. Burdette, pastor emeritus,
yesterday morning. It was the occasion
of his first sermon since his return
from his oriental trip. "Be of Good

part:
"Be of good cheer, Tt is a New Tes

cheer mentioned but once In thi
merit, and then it Ik a mistransla
tion, and should read "feasting'" or
"sacrifice," the wise men are not quite

d l.ord la Cull of good cheer. The
phrase falls lirst from the lips of the
I Teacher during the wond
Galilean ministry.
"Cheer is not of the heart alone It
is not an emotion of .sentiment, it is
of the intellect, as -well as of the heart,
more a child of the brain, a
ire of the reasoning faculty.
Therefore If you are a. superior person,
if your thoughts are really profound,
and your ideals very high; if you are

The new chapter house at Compton of
Spauldlng chapter, \marican Woman's j
league, tlic i orner stone of- which was
laid Saturday afternoon, enjoys the
distinction of being probably the only
structure in California built for women
and Becured by their efforts alone.
With the exception of buying the lot
on which the building stands, which
was donated by Michael Ruffner, the
entire Improvement was achieved by
woman members of the league,
The building is well under ci nstruc

ready for occupancy. At that time
impressive dedication ceremonies will
bo conducted. The house Is of bunga
low type and very cozy within When
finished it will contain a chapter room, ;
salesroom and kitchen, besldi ■ several j
small rooms for committees and offices. '
The interior will I" 1 handsomely deco

will !>•■ one of the most interesting in
Compton.
The situation is excellent, being on a
beautiful iot with a southern exposure,
it is in the best pan of town, next
door to the Baptist church and within i
easy distance of the ear line. Mr. !
Ruffner has established himself firmly
in the regard of thr' members of the
league by his generous donation.
WOMEN ASK ASSISTANCE

Severely
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.—In
veigled Into a housi on South Waiyioek
street on the plea that ! anted

robbed, are the essential features of a
story concerning the experience of a
prominent physician. The story was
gossiped about the city hall last night.
While the case was discussed fn ely,
police officials refuse,! t.. divulge the
name of the physician who had I n

When the story was told to captain
of Detectives Souder last night, hi de

Supi rlntendent of Police John ii. Taylor
also declared that he knew nothing
whatever of the case.
The matter was lirst reported to the
police of tli" Fifteenth and Locust

story, and receiving little attention
there was brought to the notice of the
city hall officials by the physician, who
formally swore out a warrant for the
arrest or the Inmates of one of the no
ib "dens" where his experience
occurred. This warrant, it is declared,
is in tin' hauls r.f Assistant Superinten

Art Notes
ELIZABETH WAGGONER
The iirt gallery at Blanchard hall has
been opened to the public for two
weeks, the occasion bfinK the annual
exhibition of the Art Students' league.
This is the first time the league has
held its exhibition in the publi. gallery,
and the showing made la of such a na
ture as to be of general Interest, as
well as requiring the larger space. In
addition to the work of pupils, .several
walls arc devoted to drawings and
paintings by Rex Stinkard, who has re
cently returned from New York city to
act as one of the Instructors at the
league. These are especially significant
in showing the tendency of modern art
trailing In contrast to the more
academic methods that have so gener
ally prevailed. Th» large number of
life drawings show the true value of
study from the nude, representing the
model not In the inane studio attitudes
but in all the postures of swift un
ious movement, thus catching the
great beauty that lies In the supple
e\ er-changing line.
The paintings of Mr. Sllnkard are
glimpses of the artificial life of B groat
city, cafe scenes, amateur night at a
Bowery vaudeville, a glimpse of the
Hippodrome looking clown from the
i tier, a night icene of the Hud
son along Riverside di •. delightful In
its subtle treatment, and a very dif
fi rent view of the river during the
Hm.i ion-Fulton celebration, a sparkling
to ri ndering of the effect of fire
works at night, a view overlooking the
freight yards of a great railway sys

puffing steam and ;i:i the activity of
such b scene presented with the very
essence of movment, ono canvas show

open air cafe at San Antonio at even

Island. With its owner, Admiral
Ward, his wife, and another figure, the

brilliant blossoms. All these are in

Mr, Sllnkard has been workli
the past two years under Rob«r( Henri,
Who was also the master of Wanvn T,
. in.l of his Huccessor at the
ip, c■. c. Crlstad'oro, and In the
. r room are shown several ex
amples or the work of other members
of this group of young painters of the
Henri school who are rapidly forging
to the front. Among these is a beau
tifully painted head by George Bellows,
the youngest member of the National
academy, a canvas hung last year at
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts between two famous Whistlers —
an honorable position for the work of
a young man of 27. An interesting
sketch of Madison square Is by Carl
Bpringhom, executed In somewhat the
style that has made Glackens famous,
i and there Is a strongly painted nude by
the same artist.
The exhibition of the work of pupils
of the school shows that Mr. Crista
doro has maintained the high standard
of the school and brought to it new life
and Inspiration. Among the splendid
sketches from the nude some of the
best are by ('. E. Taylor, H. A. Weller
and P. E. Carter. Miss Gladys Wil
liams shows some very promising quick
sketches in oils and Miss V. Dillon has
some good work in black and white.
Among the studies for ilustration are
a number by C. E. Carter, Who has re
cently left the school to take a position
in the nrt department of one of the
New York dailies. These groups of
figures, strongly painted in black and
white, are all full of action, as are the
western scenes bearing the signature
of "Rising Wolf."
The exhibition is attracting many
visitors and will remain open for an
other week, both during the day and
until 10 o'clock each evening.
Hector Alllot has received notifica
tion from the International Geographi
cal congress that the degree of doctor
of science has been conferred upon
him in recognition of his discoveries in
connection with standards of marine
color. This .society, of which the
prince of Monaco is the head, will hold
its tenth international congress in
Rome this year.
A most interesting display of Jap
anese prints, belonging to the collection
of Mrs, Dorothea Jaep, was on view in
the studio of Miss tjeta Horlocker on
S turday afternoon of last week, and
many of our students of Japanese art
who were unable to inspect the col
lection at that time may have other
opportunities through some of the
women's clubs during the coming year.

I Is particularly valuable, as he inves
tigated the whole organization from a
legal and financial standpoint nd I
wish the members of Los Angeles
chapter could hear him. He shows,
too, a personal affection for Mr. Lewis,
< which everyone must feel who has come
into close touch with him and which
he has the power of Inspiring in those
who have i nly had his letters in the

Inspiration and joy of this great move
ment."
PASADENA
The Pasadena chapter extended a
cordial invitation to the Los Angeles
members to attend a picnic given by
the Pasadena chapter Thursday after
noon at Library park, with a basket
supper at 5 o'clock.
Following are a few expressions of
approval from the members of the
American Woman's league visiting the
Los Angeles chapter house made pos
sible by the Los Angeles Herald:
I have had the great pleasure of in
specting the beautiful bungalow of the
Los Angeles chapter of the American
Woman's league, which was won by
the combined efforts of the league
members and their friends in the re
cent Los Angeles Herald's contest.
The bungalow is a very artistically
designed seven-room house with mod
ern equipment, surrounded by a beau
tiful lawn, erected in a fashionable
section of the city. The rooms are to
be used for the study of various sub
jects, such as music, languages,
physical culture, etc. A beautiful
mahogany upright grand piano stands
in the music room, and over the piano
hangs a fine portrait of E. G. Lewis,
the founder of the American Woman's
league. Musicals will be given fre
quently. The piano was won in The
Herald's contest, also a diamond ring
and a $250 lot at Brawley.
This bungalow will be temporarily
used by the league members until the
constructs n of the new chapter house.
It is conceded that the Los Angeles
chapter is the largest and most flour
ishing in the United States. It has
1600 members, and Is in line for a
$50,000 chapter house.
Miss Van Allen, the clever and
capable local representative, and the
league members are to be congratu
lated upon the wonderful work which
they have accomplished. The work of
this chapter will be an inspiration for
every chapter in America. The more
one investigates the American Wo
man's league the more one realizes the
unlimited possibilities and opportuni
ties it offers to the men and women of
the world, and the more one studies its
vast undertakings the more one
realizes the munificence of its benefits
and recognizes E. G. Lewis as "the
coming man of the century."

Healing of Mind First Aim
in Christian Science Work
That the healing of disease la not
the chief purpose of Christian Science
effort, but rather a preliminary or in
cidental phase thereof, is clearly Rtated
in tho Christian Science text book and
confirmed in the testimony of those
•who have experienced the benefits of
Christian Science. The founder of
Christianity said that the ability to
heal (Unease was one of the "signs"
that should attest a true understanding
of the fundamentals which he taught,
and the record of his ministry bears
unmistakable evidence of the Impor
tance he attached to the work of heal
ing all mnnner of sickness.
The theory that Jesus gave so much
of his attention to healing merely for
spectacular purposes, to impress the
multitude with the belief that he was
possessed of supernatural powers. Is
fast losing Its hold on the minds of
thinking people, and there is today a
notable tendency to seek for an ex
planation of the healing wurk of Jesus
that is not incompatible with the most
exalted view of his mission. Knllght
ened Christians are finding it more
and more difficult to believe that Jesus
could have devoted a large part of his
brief earthly career to something
which had no direct relation to the
salvation Of mankind. "Wist ye not
that I must be about my Father's,
business?" expressed a concept of his
duty which left little room for the
consideration of things irrelevant or
Inconsequential. It U Inconceivable
that Jesus should have considered the
production of mere animal ease or
comfort as any part of his "Father's
business"; therefore It is to be assumed
that what he did for the sick differed
no less in its object than in its method
from the so-called healing effected by
means of drug*, manipulation, hygiene
or mental suggestion.
SPmiTrAL ENDEAVOR NEEDED
Christian Scleneß is reinstating the
healing work which characterized the
career of the Nazarene, his disciples
and the early Christian church, and in
so doing it is proving that the healing
of sickness by spiritual means, while
not the ultimate goal, Is as important
a phase of Christian endeavor today
as it was in the days of the Founder
of Christianity and his immediate fol
lowers.
This proof is found in the experience
of those who have been healed in
Christian Science. Testimonies Riven
in tin? Wednesday evening meetings of
tiit- churches of this denomination and
in the periodical* of Christian Science
abound with expressions of gratitude
for the spiritual uplifting that has ac
companied the removal of physical dis
abilities. In many Instances the in
dividual makes it clear that whereas
hi' had come to Christian Science con
scious of no wish beyond obtaining re
lief from bodily suffering, the process
es or his healing had awakened him
to needs vastly more Important than
those of the flesh, and that coincident
with the desire for spiritual betterment
had come to light the means whereby
it might be accomplished. Healing in
Christian Science invariably is accom
plished by some degree of moral im
provement, and not infrequently this
fine homo for the American Woman's
league.—Viona Nolte.
Coincide fully with the above.—C. A.
Nolte.
The beautiful bungalow won by Miss
Van Allen impresses me as a most fit
ting home for the American Woman's
league, and the fact of possession Is a
groat encouragement to all league
member! to do more effectual work.
—M. Ella Klnsey, Lamanda Park.
It is a pleasure to write a word of
appreciation of the bungalow owned
by the Los Angrlos Chapter of the A.
W. L. It is certainly a thing of beau
ty and a loy forever. —Melvania J. Mer
rill.
The stimulation of fine *r and grass
and the home atmosphere should prove
the necessary lnvlgoratlon for a splen
di,| chapter iii Los Angeles.—Ruth Per
clval.
The bungalow Is a beautiful one and
will be a fine home for us when our
trees are planted and we ha\e a lawn
in the rear.—H. F. Hubbert
An Ideal place to look forward to
living In when we come "home." —
A. \V. Johnson.
I think the new chapter house of the
amounts practically to a revolution of
the habits and characteristics of tho
individual. Many cases are of record
where a person who has turned to
Christian Science for relief from a
comparatively trifling physical ailment
has at the same time found freedom
from the bondage of a hitherto inerad
icable sin.
"HE.VL9 SICKNESS AND SIN"
No such results follow the applica
tion of drugs or employment of any of
the various phases <>T mental sugges
tion that have sprung up In attempted
imitation of Christian Science. These
Indeed have no relation to nor part in
the work of Christianity, for the quiet
ing of the ills of the flesh Is their sole
aim, and that, of course, has nothing
to do with the things of Spirit. The
relief of suffering by means of ma
terial dru^s or the human mind has
therefore with propriety been regarded
us outside the sphere of religious ac
tivity.
Hecause Christian Science heals both
sickness and sin "by one and the same
metaphysical process" ("Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures," p.
210), Its beneficent work is religious
in the highest degree. Its purpose in
henling is not to produce mere fleshly
ease but to relieve the sufferer from
' the Incessant demands which a sick
body makes upon his attention, from
the clamor of physical sense which
would monopolize thought and pre
clude considerations of higher and
greater import. One who feels im
pelled to devote himself to dosing and
coddling his physical body has per
haps no more time for tho things that
pertain to spiritual progress than has
the excessive devotee to material
pleasures, who may have considered
the temporary relief afforded by drugs
and hygiene as merely "an occasion
for the flesh," the "liberty" to transfer
a larger proportion of thought from
pain to so-called pleasure.
Healing in Christian Science results
from such mental or spiritual purifica
tion as lifts thought above the body
nnrl gives man a measure of that do
minion over all the earth to which he
Is divinely entitled. By relieving him
to some extent from the bondage of
material sense it enables him to follow
his natural bent toward a clearer real
ization of spiritual power and good
ness. Like Paul, he has learned in a
degree to keep his body in subjection,
thus in his own experience demon
strating In part the' great truth which
ultimately he will apprehend in all its
transcendent perfection, namely, that
God, Spirit, Is tne only power.
That Christian Science healing dif
fers as radically in its end as in its
means from all other methods em
ployed among mortals for the relief of
the sick is shown by its fruits In the,
regenerated lives of its beneficiaries.
Hy these fruits it proves its right to
be called a reinstatement of the heal
ing which distinguished the work of
the early Christian church and which
JefUl himself asserted to be Insepar
able from a correct understanding and'
application of the truth which ho
taught and demonstrated.—Christian
