Schlatter is an admirer Of Rev. My
ron w. Reed. II have read Mr.. Reed S
sermons for years." said he, land ]
have been in sympathy with him. If
the world had more men like Mr.. Reed
in it, the world would be better off,
Schlatter says he was formerly inter
ested in politics but he has nothing to
do with politics now. 81 was Populist
red hot" said he smiling. Il know
now that the evils of the world cannot
be cured by politics and I am out of
politics entirely
MESSIANIC POSSIBILITIES.
Persons who We're present at the ex-
animation Of the late Rev. DR.. Coyle of
the Congregational church, have re-
called an answer which the distinguish
ed minister made to a question. The
colloquy was:
do you consider 1t possible that an
other Messiah can come in these days?'
II consider the Messianic possibili-
ties very great at the present time
Rev. Myron W. Reed was one of the
gentlemen meeting the healer yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Reed was seen last
night and gave the following as his
impressions:
People get the thing mixed up about
Schlatter- He does not assume that he
is Jesus Christ. He has the Christ spir-
1t and the Christ method-what Mat
thew Arnold calls the secret and meth
Cd Of Jesus. He is trying absolutely
TO follow Jesus Christ. He initiates
Christ in fasting and in healing disease
and deformity wherever he finds it.
What / do, do not Of myself but of
the Father If the Father wants this
man healed, he will be healed but il
maybe necessary that this man suffer
awhile in order to make him think-in
order to make him good for omething.
In some way the man must be made
TO think-do some serious thinking.
He must be made to understand that
money, power or rank are not the chief
end Of man: that he is in the world
simply to be good and to do good and
as he is good he has power to do good.
He has got to come on the earth until
he learns that. If he dies without
learning it, he will come again until he
gets it hammered into him."
"Schlatter was asked today" contin-
ued Mr. Reed, what is an act of self
eacrifice?'
His answer was, Tt is an act for
which you want nothing and for which
you won't have anything
That is out of sight said Mr.. Reed,
smiling. I've been figuring on that an
swer quite awhile since 1 came home.
REMARKS ARE INGENIOUS.
'Schlatter's words seem to be with
out premedita ton. They seem to be, as
he says. what the Father tells him to
say. If he tells me to say nothing. L
will say nothing. / will do what He
says in every great thing and in every
small thing He strikes me as being
90 ., II, do
play the Passion in Switzerland. There
is the same grade of mind, the same
simplicity Of action, the same sincerity
and produces the same impression. 1t
is the peculiar quality that Christ call
ed around him to do his work"
Mr.. Reed spoke of the remarka BILE
muscular strength of the healer. 'In
a political campaign" said he, speaking
from personal experience, "a man who
shakes hands all day and tries to speak
a night soon wears out. l used TO say
Furnish me with a blacksmith to do
the handshaking. Or let me do the
handshaking and he can do the speak
Ing The hands Of Schlatter are ap-
parently stronger than when began his
work in Denver.
SAME OLD RACKET.
81 preceive in this city the same spirit
that was in Judea and Gallilee. A good
many like Joseph of Ararmithea or
Nicodemus, would like to see Schlatter
in secret. by night. for fear of the Jews.
This is the same old racket. In fact, to
me. it is picture of human nature as
IL was 1900 years ago. A thing that
strikes me is the number of people who
are sick or hurt and want help. I did
not know there were so many infirm
s,,t-
great many perfect horses in the world
until he starts out to buy horse. Then
he discovers that there is something
the matter with every horse in the mar
ket. There seems TO be something that
needs mending in every man. woman
and child. This procession that passes
by Schlatter every day shows the phys
ical and mental condition we live
among"
Mr.. Reed says he felt a battery SEN
satiop" when the healer took hold of
his hands. He expressed himself as
deeply impressed by Schiatter. and said
he will visit Highlands and see for him
self the work accomplished by the New
Mexican Messiah. Mr.. Reed called at
tention to the scriptural authority FOR
the use OF handkerchiefs by Schlatter
in healing. He cited Acts. nineteenth
chapter ana eleNSnln anu lWe-ln YER
ses:
And God wrought special miracles
by the hands OF Paul so that from his
body Were brought unto the sick hand
kerchiefs or aprons. and the disease
departed from them and the evil spir-
lis went out OF them"
Mr. Reed said that the word hand
kerchief" occurs only ence in the Bible
and il is in the quotation named.
Some people said he. seem TO
think~that God performed miracles 1.S0o
years ago and then quit. / have never
been in sympathy with the idea. II IS
like comparing the creation 70 a race
horse whose last race has been run"
Owing 10 the change OF weather il Is
that the number Of persons
falling on the healer Will be much less
today than at any time last week
