SECRET SOCIETIES.
Woodmen of the World.

The usual activity in the Forest of
Woodcraft continued undated last
week. Camp SO had one candidate, Fer
made a move in the right direction in
becoming affiliated with an organiza-
ton of such grand principles.
That 53'S prominence abroad is of no
small degree was shown by the reading
of nine transfer applications from
members of camps outside the state
who have decided upon Salt Lake as
their future home. With the reading
OF three original applications, the
meeting was brought to close.
Utah camp 33S read one application
for membership and added another
sturdy oak to its fiourishing forest,
Zeno Barnes deciding to more closely
connect himself with fraternity and
lend his aid in the betterment of man
kind. A most noteworthy event of the
evening was the remarks of Neighbor
Christensen. Such words are always
pleasing and of good effect.

SPIRIT OF THE CHRIST.
Interesting Lecture Delivered By
Siddi Mahommet Ta,eiber.

! Siddi Mohammet Ta'eiber, who is well
knos i in the United States as teacher
| of the Djain religion, delivered a lee
ture last night in the synagogue, en-
/ titled, The Spirit of the Christ" Ia
eiber was in Salt Lake City about a
year ago. He has been in this country
about twenty years, and during this
time he has Travelled and taught the
religion of India of which he is a fol-
! lower. He is a native Of India, where
he was raised.
The chief argument as set forth in the
lecture was that, as a personality,
/ Christ does not exist, but that as an
element, a power and a principle he
does exist. He said tlat@it took one
took a universe to manifest the prin-
ciple after it was born.s, He declared
that the philosophy of the spirit of the
Christ teaches the control OF the lower
nature by the higher, the conquering of
death by obtaining perfection in
thoughts, deeds, words and actions,
which gives us an insight into the
worlds of laws and their actions.
Taeiber frequently referred to the
writings of Tamil, and also the Dhanl-
mapada, and said that the slayers of
Christ were ignorance, hatred and pas
sion. The ten griefs We're, he said, self
vanity, the crying t. pessimism, dark
creeds, hate, lust of fanles lust of days,
lust of pride, subtility and that ignor-
ance which is the dam of fear and
wrong. The causes OF sorrow are thu
love of self, and under this head there
are many forms. Then the spsa ker took
up an elaborate explanation of the age
Of aches. A man, he said, continued
in the various stages of this age Of
aches all of his life. if he lived in sin
The lecture was really a treatment of
Christianity and religion at large as
viewed by the adherents of the partic-
ular creed that Ta'eiber expounds.
In his description of the ways of
peace the speaker lookup the purer
elements Of true Christianity. He ar
CUES that we should not kill for PHYS
sake, that we should give freely and
receive, that we should not bear false
witness, that We should shun drugs and
drinks.
Ta'eiber will remain in the city until
Oct. 16, and during that time he will
deliver a number of lectures.

Rev. joel A. Smith On "That Boy.
Jim."
NEGLECT OF THE YOUTH
BOY OF TODAY Is THE MAN OF
TOMORROW.
A Boy Should Answer His Own
Prayers and Be Something
Defnite-Rev. George Bailey
breaches a Sermon For the Young
People-Lecture at Synagogue.

THAT Boy Jim" was the unique title
of a sermon last evening by Rev. Joel
A. Smith, the new pastor of Tiff NJ. E.
church. The possibilities for good or
evil that are wrapped UP in the aver
age boy was the central thought of
the discourse. The boy of today is the
man of tomorrow.
Mr.. Smith referred in a humorous
way 20 the way in which most boys
We're treated-their rooms were fur
niShed with castIoff stuff, and little re-
gard was had for their feelings. Peo-
pie should not forget that 1t was the
boys from the farms, the schools and
the shops who, thirty-eight years ago,
marched to war and saved the Union.
The boys of an earlier period laid the
foundation of the republic.
Lessons were drawn from the lives
of Samuel, David Jesus, Watt, Steph-
enson, Calico, Newton, Kepler, Mozart,
Paul, Webster and others to inspire
and encourage the young. The speaker
thought that Paul's words, This one
thing / do" constitute a good motto
for any boy.
To illustrate the value of education
the speaker cited the pound of iron, re-
fined and tempered till it was worth
$24 900 in the form of mainSprings for
watches. There are now 12,00O,000 school
children in this country, a wonderful
army with wonderful possibilities.
The speakers conclusion was that a
boy to win should answer his own
prayers, lay hold upon the Christian
religion and be something definite.
The discourse was the first one of a
series to be delivered Sunday evenings
to the young people of the congrega-
ton.
