there 10 not q molecule in the child's
body that was derived from the par
ents. Where, then. exists any basis for
the theory Of physical heredtty? The
osophy teaches that until about seven
years Of age the ego only ovsrahadows
the child's body, and does not fully en-
ter and possess 1t until much later. In
some instances, not until late In life,
and in rarer instances, not at all. Some
children are phenomenally slow in ma
turing. The reason is as above stated,
the ego is prevented by the karma--its
own thought and action of past earth
ilves-from early getting hold Of and
using the physical instrument. Other
children are phenomenally premature.
In the latter case, past karma has been
good, hence the reward Of greater pres
ent opportunity. We often say Of the
young child, it's mind Is developing: and
of an elderly person, he Is losing his
mind and entering second childhood
But that Is not statement of fact, The
mind. or ego, of the child is not unde-
veloped, nor Is the mind Of the aged man
growing dim. The truth Is that the mind
of the former Is not yet sufficiently per-
fected and Its molecules cannot co-ordi-
nate or respond to the thought vibra-
lions of the thinker, and we drop into
the error Of presuming that the mind
itself is undeveloped. In the case of the
aged, the brain molecules are breaking
down and the brain itself Is no longer

God and the armament showeth His

1.-THE Holy Ghost is universal in what
we call providence. He is bringing all
things together in his own way. He
has far reaching plan, spanning the
heavens and the earth, and in that plan
the Spirit is moving them who know
nothing of Him and are unconscious
Of His influence.
I'VE next turn to the office of the Holy
Ghost, as we recall His descent on, the
first great Whitsunday. If we know the
Holy Ghost as the life and giver of all
life; If we know him as the divine arch
itect of all the fortunes of human So
ciety. then we are ready to think of the
Holy Spirit as He came at Pentecost
His Is the seal upon the spoken message
of Christ. If Christ tells of peace 1t is
the Holy Spirit that gives it. 1t is the
mission Of the Holy Spirit to gather up
into one body the souls that have con-
secrated themselves to God. His Is the
influence that will not cease until the
world Is made captive to Christ"
After the sermon, the holy eucharist
was observed, with Bishop johnson cell
ebrant, assisted by the rector, at which
the newly confirmed candidates made
their first communion. The eucharistic
music was entirely the composition of
the choir master, Mr.. Frederick Steven
son, and is part of the beautiful service
specially composed for last Easter Sun
day in honor of Bishop johnson. The
members of the choir are the Misses

successors to Christian discipleship to
whom He came on the great Whitsun-
tide.
II want to give you broader concep-
ton than this. While 1t is true that for
human life conservation to God under
the covenant established by Jesus
Christ. the Holy Spirit has reserved His
highest and SO his noblest gifts, yet
1t Is true that from the beginning the
HolyGhost has been actor (and all ac-
ton means love- in all that in God 8
hand has been called into being.
THE Holy Ghost is the lord and life
giver In nature, the one who brought
into being the thought of God and en-
dows 1t with energy. 1t was the Holy
Ghost that brooded over the face of
the waters. and out of that moving came
the creation of the succeeding days.

mems souls with the warmth Of divine
love.
What strength and intrepidity and
knowledge the Holy Ghost commune
Gated to the apostles, Three years in
the school of Christ and what had they
learned? His promises were misunder-
stood. His simplest parable confused
them. They feared to declare them
selves the followers of the Crucified.
They were ambitious, presumptuous
scended, and what a. transformation
was witnessed! The profundity of their
wisdom astonished the doctors of tho
law. They spoke of Christ crucified with
with an air of firmness, with such a tone
of conviction that astounded their hear
ers. Twice preaching, St, Peter con-
verified 5000 souls.
The sacred fires that animated their
souls spread beyond the confines Of
Judea. 1t penetrated every portion of
the then known world. With their only
armor, the crucifix, and their only wea-
pom, the word of God, they conquered
the earth to Christ. Paganism arrayed
itself against them, but in vain. The
Holy Ghost abided with them, and hui
man prosecutions were futile to oppose
their progress. What lurid picture
the world presented at the advent cf
the gospel! What a change occurred
after its PRONUNCIATION! Men were
|
crucified. and they adored him in spirit
and in truth.
The Holy Ghost still abides with the
church. He still fortifies 1t against the
attacks of error. He guides 1t in the
straight, unbroken path Of truth. The
sacred deposit" is still in it, unfair
nished and the same as in the days Of
the apostles. May the spirit of truth
shed the light of truth in the souls Of
men. May it Danish forever the dark
ness that enfolds them, and cause them
to dwell in that perfect peace, that hea-
venly harmony that worketh unto God.
After the confirmation services the
bishop gave an eloquent exhortation to
the boys and girls. Labor not under the
delusion. he said. that with the recep-
ton of confirmation your duties as
Catholics are ended. Be ever faithful
to your religion. May the Holy Ghost,
whom you have received today. always
guide you in the ways Of truth and JUS
tice. May his grace be always with you.
The bishop concluded by imparting to
them his blessing and granting them an
Indulgence Of forty days.

During the offertory the choir sang
Fosters anthem, o for a Closer Walk
with God, in truly inspiring and beau
tiful manner Mrs. Hyatt in a sweet,
clear voice sang the solo, the other
voices blending III perfect unison in the
chorus.
Bishop Johnson preached the Whit
suntide sermon, making a few intro
ductory remarks expressive Of his graf
lncat1on at the unusually large con-
iirmation class. which he said evidenced
the greatest interest of the people of tho
church and of hard and praiseworthy
work on the part of the pastor. Last
year st. Johns church had taken the
lead In It's number of catechumens; this
year seven had been confirmed two
months ago by Bishop Nicolls, which
with the present class made the num-
Der forty-eight.
The theme of the sermon was the hid
den power of the Holy Spirit, which like
the activity of plant life, is silent and.
mysterious, but exists and Is felt as the
influence Of mind to mind; all of the
processes rejecting the character and
spirit of Him in accordance with whose
laws they are brought about Some Of
the chief thoughts were as follows:

Y. W. G. Association

The special annual service given in
st. Johns Episcopal church by the Rev.
b. w. X. Tayler to the Young Women's
Christian association of Los Angeles
and in the interest of the organization,
was held last evening with large and
apreciative audience.
The exercises opened with the regular
evening service of the church, choral
music and congregational anthems.
The Right Rev. Bishop Joseph II.
Johnson addressed the association on
practical and helpful lines Of it's work.
To bear ones own burdens and to help
others to bear theirs was the golden
rule of the address. which in part was
as follows:
Let no sectional spirit which destroys
any work of church or society bar your
labors, but believe that anything done
for Jesus Christ is good accomplished.
Lend your help to any and every wo-
man, no matter what her social posi-
ton may have been: no matter what
affiliations belong to her past, or what
may be her position now. Take her by
the hand personally, helpfully, spiritu-
ally. What might we not hope from
the young women Of Los Angeles, first
determined to bear their own burdens;
to face theil1 own lives as God sends
them; and. after building. their own
characters, reaching out the helpful
hand to the friendless and deserted.

Rev. Tayler. pastor of the church,
followed with few cheering words to
the society. extending a welcome to its
faithful members for two reasons; in

help others in their distress?"
In response to this address a liberal
offering was made by the congregation
in behalf of the association.

The Cathedral

Right Rev. Bishop Mora administered
confirmation to a large number of boys
and girls yesterday morning at the
cathedral. The confirmation services
were, as usual, singularly impressive.
The solemn high mass was celebrated
at 1880. After the singing Of the gospel,
Rev. Joseph Nunan preached the SER
mon of the day. The progress Of the
church under the guidance OF the Holy
Ghost was the subject Of his discourse,
and was a mastery effort.
Today, he said, we celebrate the birth
day Of the Catholic church--the day on
which she began her mission in the
world; the day on which the seal was
placed on all the promises of Christ:
the day on which the new law was
solemnly published; the great day on
which the Holy Ghost descended visibly
upon the apostles. Christ. ere his de-
parture, assured them that he would
send the Holy Spirit, "who would teach
them all truth" This was the promise;
this was the prophecy. Behold, today,
its fulfillment.
The descent Of the Holy Ghost was a
part of the divine plan. It was neces-
sary that the three divine persons
The Father, we may say, created him.
the Son redeemed him, and now the
Holy Ghost put, as it We're, the finishing
touch to his great work by sanctifying
him.
The outward, visible signs that ac-
companied the descent of the Holy
Ghost were deeply significant. The
great noise represented the stir that the
Christian religion would cause in the
world. The impetuous wind symbol

ration of the Holy Spirit. The tongues
