8 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." CONGREGATION GREETS REV. ROBERT BURDETTE Pastor Emeritus Preaches First Sermon Since His Return from Orient Trip The Temple Baptist auditorium was filled with members and friends of the Temple church, all admirers of the Rev. j Robert J.

WOMEN ASK ASSISTANCE OF DOCTOR; ROB HIM Call Physician Into Notorious Den and Beat Him Up Severely PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21.—In veigled Into a housi on South Waiyioek street on the plea that ! anted professionally and then beaten up and 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 the victim of the attack. When the story was told to captain of Detectives Souder last night, hi de clared that his department was not working on the case, win n asked if lie would give the name >>f the physi cian, he declared that lie would not. 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 streets police station, according to the 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 dent of Polioi O'Leary, and arrests are looked for today. The physli lan, according to thi i tory, was on his way home after a hurry call to a patient early yesterday morn ing.

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 ..vit'.i the curling ■ moke, the puffing steam and ;i:i the activity of such b scene presented with the very essence of movment, ono canvas show ■ aancer In the bright glare of the spotlight with the head i of the musl in the orchestra boldly sugi in masses of rich color, Hint her an open air cafe at San Antonio at even ing, and still another a qutel garden on Island.

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.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN'S LEAGUE An event of national Importance to the American "Woman's league is the complimentary luncheon to be glvun November 10 In every chapter house in the United States, the hosts being the pun- food manufacturers of Amer ica. K. ti. Lewis, founder of the Amer ican Woman's league, has issued a general invitation to members to hold this national luncheon on the same day in every town. Reservations have been made for 1000 guests for the Los Angeles ehap t.i -.ho number to be Increased If necessary. Members desiring to at tend are requested to send their names and tliose of Invited guests to 183 i West Forty-ninth street, before Octo ber 1, that full entertainment can bo provided, which means a charming social occasion on the chapter house grounds and a co-operation in the most gigantic movement for the strict ob servance of tin' pun food laws. Guests at the house-warming from all over the United States unanimously affirm that the dedication ceremonies here were the most beautiful ever wit nessed, particularly the christening of the chapter bouse by Mis. Lesley Marlon Carlisle iyui the unfurling of the flag by .Mrs. Lucy M. Smith. Saturday nights promise to be de lightful social occasions, as talented membera are volunteering informal programs of music and readings, but most of all it affords an opportunity to members of becoming acquainted and for the transaction of business not possible during the week. The good night song will be sung ut y o'clock ■harp, that members may reach their 1 homes early for the -beginning of the ! well-earned Sabbath rest. Instructions have been received from ' headquarters urging members to trans ! act all business through the Los An- I geles office, as it eventually means an ! Income for the maintenance of the ■ chapter house. It can be done person ally or by letter addressed to Miss ! Jennie Van Allon, local representative, ■ 16M West Forty-ninth street. The I hours are from 9 to 5 every day but I Saturday, when the chapter house is open from 9 to 9, it being closed on Sundays and legal holidays. The chap- I ter house Is reached by the Broadway I and Forty-eighth street car to St. An drews place, one block south and a half block west. All notices of the meetings will be i found in The Los Angeles Herald cv ! cry Sunday In section 3. Subscriptions ! for The Herald can be sent to Mrs. i Dora Sturgis, who represents The Her i aid for the Los Angeles chapter. Her .address is Majestic hotel, phone Main ; (903 or A 1446. The next meeting of the chapter will !be held at Eastlake park Saturday, September 3, from 3 to 7. The following letter has been received from Miss Constance Austin, local representative of the Santa Barbara I chapter: . "I regret deeply that I cannot attend the ceremony of laying the cornerstone at Compton. 1 should be happy to I meet so many leaguers on such a Joy ful occasion and am glad to testify to the faith that is in me in our glorious league. On Friday evening we will have a very Interesting meeting, at which Senator Roseberry and Mayor I Lloyd will make addresses on the league. Senator Roseberry's report 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 Daily. "I think if I had been able to come to Compton I should have spoken on ■ the text 'Read your Daily'—that is the ' way to keep your life full of the hope, 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." MAUDE McFERRAN PRICE. Colorado Springs, Colo.

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 Science Monitor. Los Angeles chapter Is truly a beau tiful home and It surely shows us what women can do If they just pull together.—Ella E. Parkor. I am five years old and T am a member of the Founders' chapter of the American Woman's league, I think the new bungalow Is very nice—John Francis Parker. Next to Mr. Lewis I know of no one who Is more entitled to the gratltudje of the league members than our own Miss Jennie Van Allen, for her energy and unsulflsh genorosity In winning thts beautiful home for our chapter.
