RE SIMPLY CONCENTRATES,
AND THEN WHATEVER NAZZER
SINGH WANTS COMES TO HIM.

A .Psycho- -Religio Church Of Revela-
tions" is soon to be opened IN New YORK
1t will represent a sect whose chief ex-
ponents are an ordained minister, Oscar P,
Arnold his wife, and Hindu teacher named
Nazzer Singh.
The whole outfit arrived here less than
four weeks ago. So diligently have they
gone TO work that already a stream OF
people, most Of whom arc paying students,
travel In and out Of their headquarters
In West Twenty-first street all day.
As a rule, visitors are received by Mr..
Arnold, whose ordination took place at
Los Angeles, CAL, last July. or by Mrs.
Arnold. Nazzer Singh appears on special
occasions only.

formed in this country at the close Of the
Worlds Fair at Chicago by Hindus, here
to represent the East in the Parliament Of
Religions. Ever since its organization Mr..
Arnold has been q student Of the things

In appearance Mr.. Arnold Is disappoint-
ing. He does not look ministerial, nor
mystical, nor deeply spiritual. He would
be mistaken anywhere for a prosperous
business man. Nazzer Singh Is undoubt-
edly the star Of tho organization. He Ia
not disappointing. not even when he dis
cards his picturesque Oriental hahliments
In favor Of American-cut clothes. At all
times he looks the part Of a thinker and a
scholar.
Moreover, he has ancient Hindu lore
at his tongues end and Is able TO express
himself In fairly fluent English. Neverthe-
less, Nazxer Singh Is modest. He dis
claims the right to any other title than that
Of teacher, and although suspected OF pos
sessing some Of tho powers credited to
Mahatrnas, denies that he ever attained
to any such honor. In this country he Is
called by many persons doctor.
Since the Worlds Fair he has been 20

When it was pointed out that many Of the
churches in New York were committed to
very much the same creed, Mr.. Arnold
rejoined:
But we teach it differently.
what is your methods!
First Of all we show our followers how
to connect themselves with higher forces ,
How Is that done?'
BY concentration, which is really tho
keynote of this religion.
Concentration on whatr'
.On whatever thoughts shall conduoe
most to the welfare OF the person at that
time, No two persons will concentrate
perhaps in the same way or on The same
forces at the same time.
At this point Nazzer Singh took up the
Thought Is tangible thing he began.
Every person has the ability to make OF
himself what he wishes.
sAt first people who come to us are
anxious to concentrate on thoughts which
bring material benefits only. They want
success, they want money.
4Some even want to learn the power to
realize desires not according to law. They
are bent on evil. But all that Is soon out
grown.
fed it gives place to something better.
And it is by the intensity OF our wishes, OF
our concentration, that we attract to us
the forces that aid, whether they are the
spirits OF noted financiers-the money
makers Of people famous In the profess
sions or successful In business, or great
spiritual leaders.
When we have become sufficiently pro-
ficient we can do more than attract such
helpful spirits to us. We can boldly send
our spirit into their realm,

that they accidentally overcame the law
OF eravitation while in state OF concen-
tration and ascended bodily several feet in
the air."
How long must these periods Of con-
centration last to be successful?'
About half an hour. Beginners, though
find it difficult to hold steadfastly to any
one thought for even one mlnute. We aid
them many times by doing the work for
them.
a result Of practising concentration In
things spiritual Is that we are able to choose
the form and conditions Of our reincarna-
ton. We can't make the choice while In
this body, but afterward.
.Yes. this Church teaches that until we
reach a very advanced spiritual plane we
shall be reincarnated again and again. and
return more than once to this earth. The
reincaTnation may take place nine days
after the spirit leaves body, but not
sooner.
after the seventh. or highest. plane OF
spiritual existence Is reached there will be
no more reincarnations. Nirvana, or per-
feet bliss, will have been attained

At present the meetings OF the church
which are held In private parlor on Tues
day, Thursday and Sunday evenings, are
conducted rather differently from what the
regular Sunday meetings will be after a
suitable hall or public meeting place has
been secured. These meetings, Mr.. Arnold
saws, will include an order OF service that
will appeal to the uniformed as we'll as to
students.
The delay in establishing public head
quarters is not, 1t would appear, due in the
slightest degree TO lack OF money. Far
