With the Spiritualists

At the meeting of the Harmonial society
of Spiritualsts yesterday afternoon Mr..
Ravlin took up the subject of uniting the
Spiritualists of this city in one organlza-
ton. He said he did not believe in an in
discriminate mixing of all classes.
I'm our educational institutions. said
he, "there are all grades, from the kinder
garten to the senior class of the university.
TIE lower can not be merged into the
higher except by slow educational pro-
cess. The same is true OF students OF
Spritualsm. The phenomena of Spirit
ualism is all that some minds are at first
able to grasp.
"Such manifestations open the way to
what may be called the higher spiritualisn,
which has no limit either in this world or
the world of spirit. Although there are
many grades OF advancement in spiritual
knowledge, it may be said there are two
general classes, the phenomenal and the
philosophic, and there is no reason why
these cannot work in harmony. one society
with another, each in its own way, and
each doing a good and useful work. But
beyond and above both these is the still
more important attainment, the develop
ment of the spiritual nature of man. OF
this most people know very little. They
are wrapped up in materiality-bound to
earthly possessions or wholly engrossed in
the effort to attain them-things OF transi-
tory value, and which, If gained. may

true doctrines of all other sacred literature.
1t is the flower of sacred books. And it
contains the RECORD of the perfect life OF
the Perfect Teacher who preached the alb
solute gospel and the universal religion.
When we have the perfect religion, the
Perfect Teacher. we do not need to search
for the things which the progressive ma
tions have had to leave behind them.
Everything that is pure, true, reasonable,
inspiring i'll theosophy is in Christianity.
If the preachers of the gospel would sit at
the feet of Christ and let Him teach them,
instead OF listening to pagan teachers and
pagan dogmas, wearing the respectable
name of Christ. we would have no skeptics,
no intidels and no boodlers. The pulpit,
by ignoring its divine mission, has created
these three classes. They have declared
that no man need suffer for his sins, or go
to hell. to save himself, because Chris. will
suffer for his sins, il he will only let him
do so The New Testament has declared
that God is no respecter of persons, but the
pulpits have said He has favoritcs, his own
peculiar people. So the boodler is logcel
Christian; for he reasons that he can steal
according to law, and that he cannot he
punished here, and that, if he repents be-
fore he dies, God will forgive all his sins
and make him an angel in heaven. The
boodler is simply smart orthodox

The Theosophists
Ii. A. Gibson gave lecture at l l a. IN.
yesterday at Odd Fellows hall, on the sub
iect, The Devil. lie said in part: 1.-The
cosmogony of every race of people refers
to a war in heaven as the first differentia-
ton of the absolute unity, thus obtaining
duality or the plane of matter and force or
matter and spirit. In all account S OF the
beginning these terms are used personify-
ing duality. In the Christian system the
spirit aspect is termed God and matter
Satan. Satan is twin OF progress and Is
as necessary in the scheme as CoOd-lts
other pole. The normal condition of one
stage of evolution is evil on the next higher
stage, on which a higher form has become
normal. The satan or matter tendency is
to keep things as they are. is constructive
or centripetal. The spiritual pole tends
toward expansion, freedom, or centrifugal
force. Evil is past form persisting in the
present.
The wisdom or strength of one state or
form must be acquired ere we pass on to
the next. When by experience we fully
know any form of experience it has no
affinity for us and we then do not know it
as evil. On the shoulders OF satan or by
the experience of matter we are lifted up
to the god state. Satan properly under
stood is promeheus or the light bringer
and our best friend. "The various rela-
tons of evil with good constitute the school
for our evolutionary training in wisdom.
Dogmatic Christianity has debased the
symbolic tigurative satan to personal
devil and placed him and the vastly larger
part of Gods children in an awful hell.
Such fictions are no more worthy OF
developed manhood than that of Santa
Claus"

Church OF tine New Era

Professor Bowman discussed the Nature.
Cause and Cure of Evil yesterday at the
Church of the New Era. In part he said:
1--WE are to wrestle this morning with the
problem of the ages. The question OF evi',
especially its origin, has been the depair of
the metaphysician. the philosopher and the
theologian. What, then, shall ordinary
mortal do with such question unless tie
simple may sometimes confound the wise?
"As to the essential nature of evil. the
simplest conception OF it is that which
causes pain or unhappines OF body or mind.
But deeper insight distinguishes between
the superficial aud the philosophic view OF
evil. On the surface everything that hurts
is evil. And yet we know that in the econ
omy of nature good and evil are so inter-
mixed that pain is often the precursor of
pleasure and pleasure the very prelude 10
grief and pain. So all pain cannot be evil,
nor all pleasure good. But this is true only
as to certain kinds OF pain and pleasure and
must not be interpreted too broadly. The
limitation is simple. IT is only remedial
pain that is good, and only Illicit pleasure
that is evil.
Theology, failing 10 make this distinc-
ton, has cursed the world with a religion
which compounds piety with poverty
and black-veiling, and bases it's
hope of heaven on the amount
of misery and hell people have
in this world. The rational and common
sense truth is that ali things are evil which
tend to evil, and all things good which tend
TO good. Don't tell me, then. that poverty
and It's degrading miseries are passport
to heaven. 1t is rather passport to hell

THE MOTHER-IN-LAW.

A Funny Experience of a Bridal Couple.
zone of the funniest experiences I
remember of my boyhood times was
that of a couple in a n~eighborhoOd,
whoran away and married, said Newt
Moore, at the Union depot yesterday
evening.
CATER the bridal tour was over the
couple went to the young lady's home
to make peace with the old folks. The
young lady's father met them at the
door, and taking his daughter by the
arm thrust her into a room and locked
her up, and gathering up his shotgun
ordered his son-in law off the place
and threatened his life if he ever re-
turned. The young man went home
and Shutdown and did some hard think
ing. Finally he sent word to the
young lady's mother to come and get
her daughters clothes and everything
that belonged to her. She did 80, and
the young man held his mother inlaw
as a prisoner and hostage for the re-
turn of his wife. He, too, took a shot
gun and stood guard. The second day
after the father Of the young lady
came over to negotiate a surrender of
prisoners. AS soon as he came in
sight he waved his white handker-
chief in token of a truce. The re-
suit was a mutual exchange of prison
ers.
''The young man made such a good
impression upon his mother in-law
during her captivity that all difference
was patched up and the Ratchet was
buried.-FrOm the st. Joseph Herald.

THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE.

M Barthelemy Saint HiIaire, the
famous French scholar and politician,
who recently entered on his ninetieth
year full of physical and intellectual
vigor, has been telling the inevitable
interviewer how it is his days have
been so long in the land. It is, we are
told, the effect of strict adherence to
the old precept ''early to bed and early
to rise" with steady work during wax
ing hours. Every grand old man seems
to have a secret of his own. Mr.. Glad
stone, we believe, attributes his lon
gevity to his habit of taking a daily
walk in all Weathers. and to his giving
thirty-two bites to every morsel of food.
Oliver Wendell Holmes pinned his
faith on equability of temperature.
The late Major Knox Holmes sWore by
the tricycle., which, in the end, was the
cause of his death. DR.. P. Fl. Van der
Weyde, an American octogenarian, not
long ago offered himself ''as an example
of benign influence of the study and
practice of music"
Some aged persons give the credit of
their long lives to abstinence from to-
bacco, alcohol, meat, or what not;
others to their indulgence in all these
things. One old lady, of whom we
read not long ago as having reached
the age of 100 or thereabout, main
tanned that single blessedness is the
real elixir vitae, and she ascribed the
death of a brother at the tender age of
ninety to the fact that he had commit
ted matrimony in early life. N. Fer
dinand de Lesseps believed in horse
riding. Mr.. James Payne complains
that in his EoEhood he "got a little
bored with too much horse" The
Grand Francois seems to think that
one can hardly have ''too muchhorse. 2"
In a letter recently published, M. Les
seps delivered himself on the subject
as follows: 81 shall always be deeply
grateful to Larine, my riding master,
who from my earliest years made me
share his keen passion for horses, and
I am still convinced that daily horse
exercise has in a large measure been
the means Of enabling me to reach my
eighty fourth year in perfect health. -
Carlyle was also a great rider almost
to the end of his life, and he not only
rode, but, we believe, groomed his
horse himself. On the whole, it must
be concluded that the real secret of
longevity is a sound constitution pru-
IDENTIFY husbanded.

AYEAR's NEWSPAPER WRITING

How much does a newspaper man
write in a yearG An old newspaper
worker has sat do Wn and figured it out.
He figures that he writes an average of
acOlumn and a half every day, except
for his Sunday paper, when he con-
tributes three columns. This makes
twelve columns a week, and, allowing
tor two weeks vacation, he has fifty
weeks in a year. An ordinary book of
short stories contains about 40, 600
words, therefore his years labor is
equivalent to twenty books. At this
rate of comparison the feat of Marion
Crawford in publishing two books per
snnum, does not strike the newspaper
man as an incredibly hard task, even
allowing for the extra amount of
@ought involved in story writing. Mr..
doWells considers a thousandNwords a
good days work. Thomas Janvier is
satisfied with 400 words, a little over a
quarter of a column.

SOME GOLD STATISTICS.

Since free coinage was suspended in
June, 1898, India has been unable to
export enough produc s to pay her gold
interest, but has been compelled to
borrow $50, OOO, 900 to pay interest on
her gold obligations during the last
year, and she must continue to borrow
and increase her debts under the gold
Standard. The United States has been
compelled to borrow $50, 600, 900 by the
sale of $50, 600. 900 5 per cent. bonds
and has SO, 900, 900 less in the treasury
than she had a year ago under the
Rme tariff laws that were formerly in
force. 1t is impossible for the United
Safes to export enough products at
gold prices to pay interest on either
hreign or don este debts. There is
no way of avoiding a continuous in.
crease of Indebtedness but by the free
Winage of silver, and that can only be
had through the efforts of the Populist
party William e. SteUUGrt.
