CALIFORNIA.

SO beautiful is the scenery of Cali
fornia that Nature must have eXpend-
ed more than her usual energy in its
creation, and especially is this true
during the months of March and April.
when the rainy season has passed and
flowers bloom everywhere. Frotunate
indeed, is the person who can exchange
the wintry climate of the East for the
tlower-perfilmed and healthful atmos-
phere of California, and no better
method of doing this can be had than
by participating in the second Golden
Gate tour, organized under the per-
feet personally-conducted tourist sys-
TEN of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.
The tourists will leave New York
and Philadelphia March IL, 1896, and
return to those cities May allowing
four and one-half weeks in California.
A new feature to the magnificent
train used for these tours in previous
wears is a through Pullman compart-
ment car.
The car, which will be the very, best
that the Pullman Company cansupply
will contain nine inclosed compart-
ments-two drawing rooms and seven
state rooms-and will be attached to
the special train at Jersey City and
run through to San Francisco.
Applications for space or itineraries
giving all information should be made
to Tourist Agent, 1876 Broadway, New
York, or Room AL, Broad Street

A Notable Book.
"a Scientific Demonstration of the Fu-
ture Life" BY Thomas Jay Hudson. A. G..
McClurg & Co., Chicago.
We have here an interesting book. In
his previous work on "The Law Of
Psychic Phenomena" Mr.. Hudson has
demonstrated. as he thinks, the quality
of the mind, and on this basis he builds
his argument for Immortality. He lays
aside the old arguments, such as that
from the analogies of nature, from the
instructive and universal desire of the
human mind for another life, etc. He
builds on the facts of hypnotism. From
them he proves, as he thinks, the exist
ence of a soul. The facts regarding
what one can do in the hypnotic condi-
ton under the power of suggestion
shows man to possess latent subjective
faculties and powers. These faculties
and powers have no normal use in the
ordinary states of life. They, there
fore. must be given for some other
sphere of life This is further dem
onstrated by the fact that they are
weakest when the body and the normal
faculties of the mind as ordinarily dis
played are strongest. They are devel-
oped and grow stronger as sickness, or
other abnormal conditions set in; only
abnormally conditioned people being
hypnotics. These powers which he calls
subjective are often strongest at death,
showing their existence as the ordinary
powers of the mind. which he calls OBJ
iective. grow weakest.
On this basis he builds theory Of the
quality Of mind; the existence of an OBJ.
isctive mind which perishes at death
and is concerned wholly with the susie.

Enough is enough. Endless pun
ishment is too much, and there is no
reason, love, mercy or justice in it.
1t defames the name of God. 1t is a
blasphemous doctrine. The imam
of sorrows and acquainted with grief"
never taught it. And the Church
and the minister who teaches it is
misrepresenting the Gospel and is
helping to keep the world out of the
Church and away from Christ and
God.
God conceived and brought forth
the world in love, and will sustain
and redeem it in love. That is GER
tain, else he is not Love. And love
has never proposed endless affliction,
in any form, for the objects of its
love.
The dogma of endless punishment
is relic of mans cruel heartedness,
and as the heart of man grows softer
and softer, the dogma must take its
place among the relics of an out
grown age and state.
But some of US would like to hurry
its retirement. And so we have writ.
ten this little editorial upon it.

who will climb up without such aid into

men climb up to success in other
