ARE THEY DEMONIACS?

not conscious OF what she had done.

A MORO STORY.

A Manila paper is quoted to the ef-
feet that the latest uprising Of the
Moros was due principally to American
contempt for the religion OF the ma
tives. A Moro II In alleged, who was
regarded as murderous fanatic was
killed by our soldiers. AS warning
to his fellow-trlbesmen his body was
smeared with pigs blood and buried in
grave beside the remains OF the pig.
Mohammedans abhor the hog. When
the Moros heard that the body OF one
OF their race and faith had been de-
filed they resented 1t bitterly and de-
clared war
IL IS much to be hoped that this story
is not true And yet, such Is the in
fluencc OF miltarism upon even the best
Of men, that II Will create no surprise
II it Is found that they at times de-
vlate from the paths of rectitude and
commit acts that must cause clvilza-
ton to blush, The stories that were
told Of Germans during the war IN
France are stlll remembered The
atrocities attributed to the European
soldiers in China are stlll in fresh
memory. Such is the curse Of war.
II too often wears off the veneer of
civilization and lays bare the bette
nor' underneath
II rs great mistake, though, for
military leaders to permit their follow
ers to show contempt for the religious
prejudices Of the people they are sent
to benefit, Such contempt has cost
thousands Of lives and untold misery.
II Uncle Sam is to get along in the
Philippines he cannot afford to outrage
the religious susceptibilltios Of the Mo-
hammedans. Thoy are entitled to the
same protection there, as they would be
entitled to In this country, Let the
American flag everywhere stand for
the most perfect religious liberty.

\ still more remarkable case OF plur-
ality OF personalities In one body Is re-
ported by Or. Albert Wilson in The
journal OF Mental Science and quoted
in The Lancet Of Nov. i4.--According to
this a young girl exhibited between her
thirteenth and eighteenth year no less
than dozen different personalities
as the doctor calls them. When about
sixteen years Of age, he says, her nor
NAL character was gone and she SEEM
ed TO be another person. The trouble
commenced with influenza and cerebral
meningitis, She was twelve years old.
In the sixth week OF her sickness she
became another person, She commenc-
ed to talk and act like a baby, used
wrong words and seemed conscious Of
the fact that her former self had left
her Several times she changed char
acteristics. AZ one time she was deaf
and dumb. At another time she was
able to learn French with ease. Still at
another time she was afflicted with
blindness. imbeclity and paraplegia. At
this time, however, CHE exhibited re-
markable skill in drawing.
Such is the remarkable story told
about this patient. 1t reminds one Of
the New Testament cases OF posses
SION Such demented persons were sup
posed to be under the influence Of de-
mons, so that what they said, or did,
was ascribed to the invader, Later
psychologists have denied this, and
even ridiculed the theory Of possess
sion They have ascrIbed the New Tes-
lament cases TO insanity, epilepsy. or
hypocondria. The question now IT,
whether science Is inclined toward the
New Testament distinction between
sick persons and demoniacs. The re-
ports OF the cases of dual, or plural,
personalities seem to indicate that this
is the case.

NEGROES AND HEAVEN.

"The funeral OF negro was being
held In the First Baptist church at Salt
Lake City when a prominent Mormon
named Miner went into the pulpit and
interrupted the ceremony, declaring
that the dead man could not enter
heaven He said that an Ethiopian
could not reach the state OF exaltation
necessary TO entrance into heaven His
soul was doomed before his birth There
was only one negro IN heaven, said he,
and that was Joseph Smiths servant
We have already explained the sub
ject referred to In the foregoing para
graph, which is taken from The Path
finder, a religious paper published In
Washington. ID. c. Is It not strange
that the religious publications in the
United States never call attention 10
the truths set forth IN Mormon" adj
dresses and writings, but whenever
there is an opportunity to vilify and
misrepresent, they copy and repeat the
falsehood till II Is clrculatd throughout
the land. And, no matter how clearly
and positively such statements are re-
futed, they never have the fairness to
correct the errors into which they have
fallen or that they have wifully In
vented.
Now as to the paragraph from The
Pathfinder: Elder Miner did NOT "in-
terrupt" the funeral ceremony, he was
requested TO make some remarks which
he did. he did NOT declare "tne dead
man could not enter heaven" he did
NOT say that IAN Ethiopian could not
reach the state necessary 20 enter
heaven" he did NOT say "hs soul was
doomed before his birth" he did not
say there was only one negro In
heaven" Every one of those asser-
tons of The Pathfinder is untrue.
It's story IL like the description
given by another religious journal OF
the crab; that is, "a red fish that
travels backward The criticism Of
noted scientist was; THE crab is not
red II is not fish and il does not
travel backward" with these exCep-
lions the description was pronounced
correct And so with the exceptions
we have made TO The Pathhnders
negro story But Of course that paper
is too religious 10 announce It's mis-
take, and tell the public that the Nor
mons do not believe any such rubbish
as that which It attributed to them

we are bound TO hope, that the coinci-
dence may not conceal any deeper or
essential resemblance. His en-
forced silence will mean the temporary
interruption OF utterances to which
people have learned to look forward
with respect as well as with curiosity;
and any enforced interruption of his
many sided activity, even IL only tenn
porary, can hardly fail to be felt in the
