„ These were the remarks made by the

I church yesterday, where ho is holding
a series of evangelistic services. He
i said in part:
"Some years ago Robert G. Inger
ij, soil was asked if he believed that
'whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap.' He said: 'That is my
creed; in fact it is one of the cardinal
laws of nature.' A man asked me if
p I did not think that all the hell there
i-was could be found in this world, and
I 1 said that it seemed to me there was

I' tors say that this subject of Bowing
and reaping Is an easy one to preach
on, but I must confess that it is hard
j;, for me to preach on a theme like this.
' It seems to me that text, 'Whatsoever
a man soweth that shall lie also reap,"
has more pure hell in it than any
.other verse In the Bible.
"As Thackeray said: 'Sow a thought
and reap an action; sow an action and
' reap a habit; sow a habit and reap a
character; sow a character and reap
a destiny.'
"Bow cards and reap gamblers. We
are fast becoming a nation of gam

The other day two gamblers bet on
the length of a preacher's prayer, and

York city gave his people a scolding
because one of his members played
a game of whist for a prayer book.
"Some one has said that nine gam

Chrlfctlan homes. One mother said to

and he doesn't go away to gamble.' I

MAN IS JUDGED BY HIS
ASSOCIATES, SAYS PASTOR
Dr. Brougher Delivers Sermon on
Popular Proverbs
"Birds of a Feather Flock Togrether,"
was the subject of the second series
on "popular proverbs," delivered by
the Rev. J. Whitcomb Brougher, pas
tor of the Temple Baptist church, last
evening. He said in part:
"Both Old Testament and New Tes
tament writers direct our attention to
the nature and habits of birds. They
use them frequently to Illustrate some
truth that is applicable to the nature
of man. The truth of the proverb that
"Birds of a feather flock together," has
been recognized in all ages.
The company we keep affects our |
reputation. It is true that many a per
son is compelled by force of circum
stances and the necessities of business
to be associated with men and women
who are not his company by choice.
It nevertheless Is true that the com
pany we chocse to be with, and are
known as being associated with con
tinually, has its effect upon our repu
tation in the community In which we
live. As a matter of fact, we live
largely In the estimation of our fellow
men. Our reputation Is what they think
us to be. Sometimes a man has a
good reputation and his character does
not deserve It. Many a person of med
iocre ability has become a power in the
world because he has been associated
in some organization or company with
men and women of great ability, and
lias gained the reputation for himself
of being able to do things, and that
reputation has unlocked the door of op
portunity for service and has made it
possible for him to become a power in
the world.
"A young woman can lose her repu
tation for purity and nobility of char
acter by associating with fellows of i
low Ideals and corrupt morals."
BABA BHARATI ASSERTS
MAN'S MIND IS REAL SELF
Speaker Says Napoleon's Suc
cess Due to Thought Force
————
13aba Bhnrati spoke last night in
Blanchard hall, taking for his subject
"Thought Force." He said in part:
"The majority of people in this mat
ter of fact age think most of their body
and make much of it. They do not
not much value on their thoughts.
Happily, though, the mist of the physi
cal senses is clearing from the nvntal
vision of more and more people daiiy.
They are finding the deeper truth that
the real self of man is the soul, of
which the mind Is the medium of ex
prpssion.
"Man Is his thoughts, ideas and sen
timents, not his body. Unsupported by
the mind, the body can perform no ac
tion. The body of the greatest coward
is under the spell of his mind. Heiacts
physically through fear, and fear is
a thought—a current, a powerful force
of the mind.
"Napoleon Bonapajte was a slightly
built 'Little Corporal,' yet with the
forces of his mind he overawed his
largo, bravo adversaries from the very
beginning of his military career. Na
poleon, with his powerful, all-darn?,
overmastering thoughts, whose forces
swept everything before, dazed his
enemies, dazzled history. The forces
of Napoleon's mind were so rejrulated
'that they could be focused in a twinkle
at hi.^ will, and these focused forces
pierced any subject brought before his
mind and found a solution. Napo- >
leon's career shows conclusively that
a man Is his mind, not his body."
CLERGYMAN DISCUSSES
APOSTLES' INSPIRATION
Rev. J. A. Geissinger Preaches on
Allusions in Testament
"The Christian Teaching Concerning
the Holy Spirit" was the topic of the
Rev. J. A. Qeissinger, pastor of the
University Methodist church, yester
day morning from the t'-'Xt, Acts 19:2,
"Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when
ye believed?" He said in part:
"These words would seem to Indicate
that thr apostles expected all Chris
tians to receive the Holy Spirit when
they believed. What did Paul mean
by this question? Let us ask what Is
the meaning of the Holy Spirit.
"In the Old Testament we find that
the spirit of God was over all life,
the world of material things and the
world of md,n. Ho brooded over chaos
rind he became a living S'irit. Ho
touched the harps of poets to finest
songs and gave prowess in battle. He
opened io prophets the meaning of life
and t 1 "-' progress of the ages. This
View passed away in the cour c of time
and the spirit was associated with the
strange and unusual only. Traces of
the influence of this popular view may i
yet be found in the New Testament. ;
The author „f our text gave expres
sion to a larger view of the Holy
Spirit. He traod wisdom, knowledge,
prophecy, faith, healing, miracles and
tongues to the- Spirit, but he held that
the highest gifts of the Spirit nre
sp'rltual or moral, faith, hope and
love. 'We all drink of one spirit,' and
this conns illumination, so that we see
Christ as Lord; love of God, help for
our infirmity, peace, gentleness, pa- .
tlence, self-control."
UNREST IN INDIA GROWS
WORSE, PAPERS REPORT
Outlaw Trouble on Frontier Be
coming Serious
CALCUTTA, Nov. 27.—The Indian
papers continue to offer evidence of
the growing spirit of unrest on the
northwest frontier. So far, says the
Pioneer, from the situation having
improved in tho last few weeks, affairs
fire steadily going From bad to worse.
. The outlaw trouble during the past
six months has assumed very serious
proportions, and there is little doubt i
that the activity of these men is j
largely due to the direct encourage- ;
ment they receive ,A the hands of the
Afghan officials in Kloost.
It now appears that certain busy
bodies at Kabul have latterly been
hard at work stirring up the Afrldis
and other transfrontler tribes against
the British and that they have made
sufficient progress to give cause for
not little apprehension in regard to
future developments when the Kama- .
zan Is over. |
"It is a significant symptom," adds
the writer, "of the unrest already pre
vailing in tho trouble territory that
the Kohat pass lias just had to be
closed. The success which attended
the raids of gome of the more daring
outlaws has naturally excited the envy
of other enterprising spirits across the*
border, and it is certain that the losses
sustained by the tribesmen over the !
stoppage of the arms traffic have tend- ,
ed considerably to embitter their feel
ings toward us."

MAN'S REDEMPTION
KEYNOTE IN FAITH
Rev. William McKenzie Addresses
Large Audience on Purpose
of Christian Science
TEACHING THROUGH REASON
Experiences of Patriarchs and
Prophets Cited to Explain
Work of Healing
Rev. William P. McKenzie, C. S. 8.,
of Cambridge, Mass., a member of the
board of lectureship of the First I
Church of Christ. Scientist, in Boston, I
addressed a great audience at the
Shrine auditorium yesteraay afternoon 1
on "Christian Science, a Present Re
demptlr-i." Although the same speak- I
er had been greeted by a packed house
at a lecture on 'Clean Journalism' at
Simpson auditorium on Saturday night,
he faced even a larger throng at his
meeting yesterday. In part the lec
turer said:
CHRISTIAN BCIGNCR TEACHING
*The liberation or redemption of man
implies that he is enabled to pass i
through the door of hope Into enjoy
ment o£ that which lie hoped for.
Through enlightened faith the things
hoped for become substantial and the j
joy that was visioned becomes present
experience.
Where men have inherited their re
ligious beliefs there is found opiniona
tive or theoretical Christianity; but the
basis of happiness in this life is prac
tical and individually earned Christian
ity independent 01" tradition, having
for its keynote demonstration and!
spiritual understanding. Christian
Science teaches men through reason
and revelation. Reason replaces opinion
since it leads back always to cause.
Revelation replaces dogma because it j
always brlngi "light." When man
walks in light understanding the law
which governs him and obeying it,
he is at peace.
No one should deny that the cures
of disease wrought by Jesus exhibited
causiition, and so were scientific. There
was power which was efficient to pro
duce these results of heuling. This
power existed then at the standpoint
of causation. Christian Science de
clares that ail the power which then
existed does now exist at the stand
point of causation, and by effects al
ready made manifest, it is proving this.
HJCAUIfa OF Till-; IICH
Causation is itself invisible, but ef
fects show its nature. The healing!
wrought by Jesus was so kindly, so,
blessed, that men glorified God the
unseen cause. Today men are behold
ing results which can come only from
ji source divine and loving, and are
becoming- acquainted with the true God
thereby. The healing of the sick
through Christian Science is accom
plished by the law and potency under
stood by Jesus, and it has this test,
and sign, that those healed by its min
istry iind their lives glorined with
love for od, and the inner gladness
is reflected In universal kindliness.
Christian Science introduces a man
into the comradeship of the noble and
upright men of all times. Il shows
him that the saints of God and the
heroes of the faith are his own people
if he is willing to accept the same law,
obey the same power, love the same
ideal. So far as the divine nature is
concerned we have access always, ev
erywhere, to God. The lost man Is the
one who has forgotten God, not one
whom God has forgotten. We have ac
cess to divine law, we "listen to the
thoughts of God," only by obedience.
Of this obedience and its results there
are notable examples. We value the
writings of the Old and New Testa
ments because we have therein the
story of men and women who solved
life's problems aright. They were suc
cessful in proportion as they under
stood God's law, and had faith in its
operation.
In the earliest times the promise
came to Abraham that he should bring
blessings to the nations of mankind.
To him Deity was 'The most high God,
the possessor of heaven and earth."
Abraham had once "served other gods,"
but when he came to understand how
man may be taught, guided, and helped |
by the unseen presence, he became "the ;
friend of God," and through his experi
ence blessed all believers with the
knowledge that God Almighty is man's
friend. "This patriarch illustrated the
purpose of Love to create trust in
good," Mrs. Eddy says. (Science and
Health, p. 579.)
EXPERIENCES OF PATRIARCHS
i If we follow the growing conception
of the goodness of God as brought out
in the experiences of the patriarchs and
in the lives of the prophets, of Elijah
and Klisha, of Isaiah and Daniel, we
lind at last the promised Messiah un
folding the truth regarding the one God
through works of healing. Thus we
learn to understand the goodness of
this one power, ever-enduring, ever
active, ever-available for the need of
j man.
The init'ation of Mrs. Eddy's dis
covery of Christian Science was an ex
perience of healing, the story of which
is now familiar to the world.
The Discoverer of C. ristian S ienee
; recognized that her experience of heal
ing was duo to the fundamental law
whereby healing had been done by
Jesus and his disciples, and she deter
mined to find out the inean'rig and ap
plication of that law, so that it might
bo available for others. She sought
for the desired explanation In the
Scriptures, and this was the proper
BOtsrce to turn to. Take the Gospels
for example; what do we find recorded
there? Is it not works oi: healing
The Acts of the Apostles were acts of
healing, in the records of the Law,
and In the testimony of the Prophets
we are told of healing.
EQUIPMENT OF MRS. BODY
Were we to abstract healing from our
Scripture? their value as revel 'tton of
God to man would be diminished in
conceivably. It was natural then that
one who had had on experience oi
healing should turn to a series of writ
ings which tell about healing in order
to find an explanation of that healing.
In this n : ji eel Mr , Eddy was equipped
as. an Interpreter better than any com
mentator wlio had preceded her. I're
\ vlous writers on the Bible went to it
as to an arsenal to find weapons of
defence, and of offence, for the sup
port of their accepted opinions, Hencf
the hundreds of theories regarding th<;
teaching of the Bible, and the numer
ous denominations founded in variant
opinions. If an understanding of truth
•is supported by the demonstration
which corresponds to the truth, then
in all conditions it will prove to be
i the same truth; whereas unsupported
opinions may vary with ever veering
beliefs. She started with the demon
stration, and discovered the truth
which explained the demonstration to
)>. tin same truth to which tho I
prophets of old, the disciples of Jesus j
RELIGIOUS DEBATE IN
ROME CAUSES COMMENT
HOME. Not. 27.—The Osserratore Ro
mano publishes comments evidently In
spired by the Vatican on the discussion
yesterday In the German relchstag of the
speech of Emperor William at Koenlgs
burg on August 26. The paper claims
the debate furnished proof of the Irref
utable truth contained In the emperor's
speeches both at Koenlgsburg and Beu
ron that the throne and altar cannot be
divided In Germany, religion being nec
essary in the struggle against error In
modern times.
In addressing the abbot and several
Koraan Catholic dignitaries In the Ben
edictine monastery at Beuron the em
peror said: "The government of Chris
tian princes run only be carried on ac
cording to the will of the Lord, The
altar and the throne are closely united
and must not be separated."
and the Master himself bear witness.
(Science and Health, 126:22.) !
FOUNDING OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE I
The founding of Christian Science
has involved the building up of a vast j
educational system. A world-wide
Church through its many branches
offers religious teaching at its services.
By means of a Bible lesson inter
preted into the method for practice of
the truth by the Christian Science
textbook, consistent instruction is
given. Then at the mid-week testi
mony meeting the results of the teach
ing in Christianizing human lives
become known, as grateful people tell I
of their redemtion from disease and j
despair. Reaching to the far corners J
of the earth the postal service carries
the periodicals ■of the movement, so I
that their teachings and testimony
may enlighten all who are looking for
consolation and hope, and gladness.
To the monthly Journal and the j
weekly Sentinel, there has been
added the daily Monitor, which is
interpreting the fundamental unity
of man under the rule of God, the one
Mind, by discovering to its readers the
"better part" in the world's activities,
and interpreting good will among
men.
AROtTMEXTS FROM CRITICS
Healing is the important proof, to
man that God is love. Said the Psalm
ist., "I hod fainted unless I had be
lieved to see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living." This proof
appeared occasionally before the ad
vent of the Messiah, but In the life
and work of Christ Jesus this proof |
was established scientifically. He
proved by his works what God is, and
by visible effects illustrated the action
of divine law. Critics and skeptics
have denied these works, saying that j
the story of them grew up as myths,
accumulated about the character of '
the hero. But Christian Science has
come to re-establish by proof the !
truth given by the founder of Chris
tianity; and today there are multi
tudes of men who have learned to
love God because the fact that "He
first loved us" has become known to
thorn through healing. .
In medical practice healing of the
sick may be the end sought. In I
Christian Science practice It Is the bo- j
ginning of work and the end In view Is
complete redemption of the man. I
When he learns to overcome evil with
good, he opposes good will to malice,
kindness to insult, friendship to
hatred, and so dwells In peace and
happiness. He Is a man redeemed
from the power of a false theory,
and initiated into the joys of the king
dom of heaven. When love depends
upon conditions It is merely personal
preference, but when It flows from the
divine source, outward conditions do
not affect Its character or continuance.
Loving is living, for thus is divine life
expressed.
Then shall the reign of Mind commence on
earth.
And starting fresh, an from a second birth,
Man In the sunshine of the world's new spring,
Shall walk transparent like some holy thing.

5000 BABIES STARVE AS
RESULT OF LABOR WAR
Hull House at Chicago Provides
Milk for Infants
CHICAGO, Nov. 27.—The citizens'
strike committee which has Investigat
ed conditions In the families of strik

that DOOO babies are starving as a re
sult of the labor war. The report was
made at a meeting at Hull House, and
a special babies' milk fund was started !
at once by members of the committee. !
Estimates at the meeting showed it j
would take at least $100 a day to pro
vide milk for babies in actual want,
and the suffering appeared so great
that $1100 was contributed by members
of the committee. The fund is to be
kept distinct from other strike funds. |
The garment strike is no nearer set

REFORM DIVORCE
LAW—FLORA AMES
Noted Woman Cites Conditions
She Avers She Finds in
United States
HOLDS AUDIENCE FOR HOUR
"English Noblemen Not Noble
When They Marry American
Heiresses," She Says
"Divorce* are secured dishonestly."
"Marriages should be made much more
difficult to enter Into."
"Fidelity is the marriage bond of
God."
"No raarirace exists where either the
man or the woman Is unfaithful."
"The greatest rase of marriage barter
is where a ironiun marries a man for
the purpose of being kept."
-■ "English noblemen are not noble men
when they marry American heiresses."
"The soul never —the soul knows
the truth and does not deceive."
"There Is nothing people love bo much
as love."
"The love of humans Is linked with
the Divine."
"One of the great faults—one of the
great causes of divorce—ls lack of edu
cation/^— KlnraAnii>^^^^^^^^_^_
The foregoing are some of the epi
grams uttered by Mrs. Flora Ames, the
noted English woman, who is leading
a fight for a reform in the divorce laws
of the United States And Great Britain,
in the course of her lecture in S.mpson
auditorium yesterday afternoon.
Before an attentive audience, Mrs.
Ames delivered her appeal for reform,
asking for some method of abol shlng
what she termed terrible happenings j
which she said she found to be daily I
occurrences in the few short months !
] which she has been devoting to the !
subject.
She sought to bring her auditors to j
a realization of dangers which she said I
l threaten American homes, American j
' families, in fact,' the American race. I
by continuation of the present divorce ,
j laws.
For more than an hour she held her
I audience without a single break, except
i an occasional burst of applause, and
the auditors seemed loath to leave the
auditorium when she had finished.
TAKrN IT SORDIO SIDK
Mrs. Ames handled the sordid side
of her subject in a capable manner,
] making her meanings perfectly clear
j by stating them in such a manner that
| none seemed to take offense. The sor
! did pictures which she skilfully drew
to force home her points did muih in
convincing her audience and were often
met with applause.
Mrs. Ames began with a statement
that in many eases divorces were se
cured dishonestly, resulting in moral,
if not legal, polygamy. In fact, she
stated that the divorce evil led to and
encouraged Mormonism and polygamy
in its worst form. The only suggestion
made by her during the afternoon, as
to the proper manner in which to cor
rect part of the evil was that laws bo
drafted which would make the mar
riage state more difficult to enter into.
For purposes of comparison, she cited
the divorce laws of England. In Eng
land, she said, it is almost impossible
to secure a divorce. There the strict
ness of the laws have created as much
suffering as the laxity of the laws In
the United States. In closing she said:
j "Reforms are needed; you and I know
' they are needed. It does no good for
1 a small gathering like this to ask. It
must be the people, and the people
must be eonvlne. d that to save the
race these reforms must be secured.
Sign-the petition which is being circu
lated and get your friends to sign it.
I will present it to your president."

SPEAKER DEFENDS
WOMEN WHO WORK
Reynold Blight of Los Angeles
Fellowship Declares They
Are Modern Martyrs
REMEDY FOR SOCIAL EVILS
Fortitude and Sacrifice Needed to
Withstand Temptations in
Business Life
Yesterday morning In Blanchard hau
Reynold E. Blight, minister of the Lo«
Angeles Fellowship, dtoCUßied the »ul>
ject. "Why Young Women «o Wrong.
He asserted that as a üßiial thing the
crimes of women are social and nexu.ii
rather than commercial. It Is seldom
that we hear of women embezzlers.
The number of women who have been
forced from paths of virtue is inereas
in- with appalling rapidity, and th s
subject, po long under taboo, is chal
lenging the -serious attention of public
spirited citizens. Women go wrong
from four causes, declared the speaker;
ignorance, folly, contamination by as
sociation and economic necealty. n*
continued: .»«.««•
"A very important cause of these
conditions is the social discrimination
against women. A man is allowed
great latitude, and provided he does
not offend conventionalities or sin
crudely, he is accepted by society. But
If a woman's feet slip ever so little
she lives forever under a shadow; ana
if she be so unfortunate as to fall, even .
though she be the helpless victim of
guile and perfidy, her future is hope
less. Society'enters into a conspiracy
of hatred to force her into lower depths
of shame and disgrace.
"Rut perhaps the most potent factor
in the destruction of womanhood is the
economic dependence of woman, under
which she is dependent upon man, usu
ally a man, for support. It Is to her
financial interest, often her economic
necessity, to flatter ; nd slave for her
lord and muster. When that support
Is taken away she must become a
drudge or go to the streets. The fi imu
principle obtains in business, and wom
en in store, factory and office are forced
to accept starvation wages, where they
maintain their honor only by heroic
fortitude and sacrifice.
"The social evil will be destroyer!
not so much by prohibitive legislation,
as by the education, the enfranchise*
ment and emancipation of women."
