San Jose (Cal) Special.
A small story-and-a-half cottage,
painted dull dead white, even to the
shutters and shingles, with the grass of
the lawn buried half an inch deep in
snow-white plaster, and the shade trees
and rose bushes sprinkled with white
wash, is the odd sight that for several
days has excited comment on Shelton
avenue. The house is owned and occu-
pied by Mrs. George Roberts, and she
calls it the Temple of Purity and
Truth" Mrs. Roberts is finely edu-
Gated woman. sixty years of age. In
fluent narrative, delivered with great
earnestness and sincerity, she told how
she had from her birth been spiritual
istic medium.
"The work to be done in this temple"
said she, sis to be the elimination of
my life. For long time there has been
war going on in the spiritual world.
The battle between the earth-bound
spirits has caused the recent earth
quakes and cyclones. Through this
shade of materiality the angels of
the highest realms of spirituality have
been unable to reach the earth. Long
ago [ was appraised of their desire to be
with us. They succeeded, after over
coming many impedilEentS, in reaching
the earth; but after their arrival found
they were unable to remain, as there
was no place for them to stay.
''SiX weeks ago to-day was awakened
at o'clock in the morning. My
room was full of angels. For four
hours they talked to me about this

tails how itmust be equipped. Every
law of harmony necessary 10 the pres
ence Of the highest forms of spirituality
must be observed. All must be in pure
white. l was to convert the parlors of
the house into such temple as they de-
scribed."
Mrs. Roberts then conducted the re-
porter to the double parlors. One is
called the ''outer sanctuary" while the
other is the Inner sanctuary" The
chairs have been painted white, the cur
tains are of white cashmere and the
piano is draped with the same material.
entrance from the outer to the inner
sanctuary is concealed by white CASH
mere curtains. Mrs. Roberts drew
these aside and gave view of what lay
behind them. This part of the ITEM
Pile" presented beautiful appearance,
all in immaculate white. The curtains
are of white cashmere and lace. The
furniture is upholstered with white
cashmere, and even the carpet is cov-
cred with the same material. Near the
corner is an altar, the shrine of the
spirits.
Mrs. Roberts says she is the strong
est magnet in the world, and to the al
tar she expected to draw metaphysi-
clans, poets, philosophers, sages, intel
lectual giants of the past, with all their
lore and approximations that have come
during their experience of count
less ages in the spirit life.
A brother Of Mrs. Roberts will
support her with positive magnetism,
while lady friend will furnish
the negative. Mrs. Roberts did not
know how soon all of the equipments
would be completed. This work was to
of whom is absent. When all is in
readiness no one will be allowed to
enter the sacred precinct unless clothed
in robes of pure white. Every article
Of clothing, even the shoes, must be
pure white.
1.-The temple is not for the purpose of
convincing people of the truth of spir-
itualism nor to teach it's rudiments,"
said Mrs. Roberts, but to place spirit
ualists en- rapport with the highest order
of angelic beings. Those who wish
may come every day, but no one can re-
main longer than ali hour"
Many wonderful productions have
already resulted from visit to the
sanctuary by those DESTROYS of angelic
power.
Mrs. Roberts showed a communica-
ton from Pythagoras, which was writ
ten in English, and expressed the salts
faction of Pythagoras that such temple
was at last accessible to the spirits.
''Since work on the temple was be-
gum" says Mrs. Roberts, II have re-
ceived other communications from q
high source. Jesus came and stood
right here at the mantel in the outer
sanctuary. L did not recognize Him at
first, and asked Him who He was. He
replied. Think Afterward i was able
to place him. l am of the opinion that
/ was fully acquainted with Him in
life"
Mrs. Roberts is an incarnationist.
During her life, which was without be-
ginning. her spirit has lived in different
bodies at different times on different
planets. She calls Neptune her native
planet.

corresponds very accurately to its
present appearance, and my incar-
nation was before the time of the
AZtecs. l can remember that l once
lived upon the planet Jupiter, but when,
of course, don't know. My recollec-
ton of the people on that world is that

country, as did not travel around to
any extent. The spirits have told me

fus, Persian prince. The latter en-
tered the temple of Magi, and became
one of them.
when God commanded Joseph and
Mary to flee with the infant Jesus from
the wrath of Herod they went to the
East. The life of Jesus during the in
terval of His departure from and return
to the land of His birth the biographerS
throw no light upon. The spirits have
told me that He came to Persia, and was
taught in the Temple of the Magi by
Hayfus, my brother, and that from this
tuition He gained that wisdom which
distinguished His subsequent life. Be-
ing my brothers pupil l must have
known Him, but l never called Him
Christ.
