queer society which meets on the second
floor of the building at LOG and los Wabash
avenue. With the hum of business all
around them and the visible signs of Chi
cago's bustling trade on every hand, an
association has its headquarters there whose
members believe they will never die. That
Is, If they escape accident and disease for
the next three years or so, they can snap
| their fingers at both the doctors ana under
takers and live forever.
The society teaches a new religion--or
science the devotees call it--of which DR..
c. r. iced, who came from the east about
year and Aalf ago. is the prophet. Dr.
iced believes what he teaches, gust as Mo-
manned believed that he was tie prophet
of Allah. No person can hear him expound
his strange views without being con-
! WINGED of his sincerity.
Our society" he said to a reporter,
teaches what we call the koreshan science,
from the Hebrew kur-meaning the origin
of life We believe just what DR.. Ham
mond, Of New York, does-that no man
need die. DR.. Hammond, however, although
he has hit upon great truth, has not
reached the bottom of it, for he says that
by living correctly and obeying all the laws
OF nature man might live forever. We
arrive at this truth in different way, and

1--WE hold continued the doctor, that
when the Saviour assembled to heaven after
his resurrection his earthly body was dis
| solved and became the holy spirit with
which the church was baptized. In the
same way the earthly bodies of his followers
will, under the dispensation now begun, be
dissolved. We believe that holy life and
the entire subsection of the animal passions
will lift the man into the divine life, so

produces an acorn, which falls to the ground.
and in time produces another tree. That,
tree produces another, and so on, but
the original tree dies. Whya Because it
| gave its life to reproduction. 1t is exactly
the same way with man. He gives his life
to his offspring Now, if his thoughts and
desires are fixed ON the higher life and his
carnal passions are entirely subdued, n
| physiological change takes place in him at
the base of the brain. A vail is rent, which
is typified by the rending of the vail in the
temple and a new circulation is established
| in the brain. He is then immortal"
Has any body reached that condition
yetl"
| Not yet There must first be sacrifice
| Some one will be chosen by G cd as victim,
and bis earthly body will be dissolved into
a baptism, which will fall upon all true be-
levers, and then the great change will
come. Those who are changed first will
have the power of interchanging spiritual
and material body at will, but after that
believers will simply be made immortal.
Nations will then be born in a day, and all
human governments will pass away and
will be succeeded by divine government,
in which God will rule the earth directly"
How soon will this take place"
about 1891. The times are ripe for the
great revolution that is to take place. We
have just concluded a great period of "a, 600
years, and since 1649, in fact have been
living under the new dlspensation."
| "What is to take place between this and
1917"
at will be period Of great unrest, and
there will be wars and rumors of wars, but
as far as the change Is concerned, it will be
revolution, widespread and sudden. 1t
will not be a prolonged struggle"
is there any use, then, in holding ma
tional conventions OF arguing about the
TARIFF"
sit is all well enough as far as the present
iss concerned, but Cleveland or Blaine,
whichever one is elected President, will not
finish his term. The government will be
taken out of his hands"
"What will become of the politieiansP
There will be no further occupation for
politicians, for under the new governments
there will be no primaries, caucuses or con-
ventions The tariff question will settle
itself, and all the troubles between labor
and capital will be adjusted. In short, JUS
tice, peace and love win reign
Even the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
strike, the doctor said, will be declared off.
| The way the discoverer of "koreshan
| figures it out,that we are within three short
years of such blessed era is very pretty
piece of arithmetic, but it is too aDstruse
for the columns of the Mail He can take
his lead pencil, however, and prove to dot
that the Christian era came TO an end in
1S49. He believes that the dead, who are
now in hell, will again be boru into the
world and be given another chance In
fact, his religion is sort of arithmetical
| Christianity mixed with theosophy.
I The doctor is little man, with a sallow
complexion and dark hair and eyes, He
breaches his doctrine every Sunday after
noon, and during the week teaches q class
of pupils at so much per head. He also
edits monthly magazine called the Guild
ing Star.
At meeting of the "Arch triumphant
society one sees a collection of masculine
| looking women, with small sprinkling of
effeminate looking men, and the first
thought that strikes the visitor is that he
| women and she-men have an affinity for
each other. They all believe in '"the
DOCTOR" and every word he utters is treas
ured as a precious chunk of wisdom. The
members are not simply waiting for the
day when they will be able to visit the
planets at will, but in the meantime are
practicing healing by mental science. "
They cure Diseases they claim, by the power
of mind over mind. At the meetings the
different practitioners announce the eases
they are treating and then the whole meet,
ing spends some time creating" the whole
batch Of cases altogether Perfect silence
is maintained, while everybody thinks
with all his or her might The sick people
thus treated receive great benefit by it and
many desperate cases which the pin giving
doctors give up are cured-so DR.. iced
