SINGH SIMPLY
CONCENTRATES
And Then Whatever Nazzer
Happens to Want Comes
to Him.

A "Psycho-Religio Church of Revela-
lions" is soon to be opened in. New
York. 1t will represent sect whose
chief opponents are an ordained minis
ter, Oscar p. Arnold; his wife, and a
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 are
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.
The Psycho-Religio Church of5Reve-
lations is the first OF it's kind to be
started in New York, and it is an out
come of the Padme Yogi, or Sacred
Secret society, which was formed in
this country at the close OF the worlds
fair at Chicago by Hindus, here to rep
resent the East in the Parliament of
Religions. Ever since it's organization
Mr.. Arnold has been a student of the
things it teaches, and for the last six
or seven years he and his wife have
privately taught and demonstrated oc-
cultism in many of the large cities of

recently adjudged worthy to be or
dained ard to become the nominal
head of a church in New York, which
shall disseminate the beliefs of the
Padme Yogi.
In appearance Mr.. Arnold is disap-
pointing. He does not look ministerial,
nor mystical, nor deeply spiritual. He
would be mistaken anywhere for a
prosperous business man. NaZZer
Singh is undoubtedly the star Of the
organization. He is not disappointing,
not even when he discards his pic
turesque Oriental habiliments in favor
Of American-cut clothes. At all times
he looks the part of thinker and a
scholar.
Moreover, he has ancient Hindu lore
at his tongues end and is able to ex-
press himself in fairly fluent English.
Nevertheless, Nazzer Singh is modest.
He disclaims the right to any other IT,
tie than that of teacher, and, although
suspected of possessing some of the
powers credited to MahatmaS, 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 to
India twice. His present intention is
to cast his lot with this new New York
church in the capacity of head teacher
and demonstrator.
1t is not easy without enrolling ones
self under its banner to find out just
what the mission of the Psycho-Re-
ng1o Church of Revelations is. Its
creed is different, says Nazzer Singh,
from that of the Theosophists. the
Spiritualists, the Christian Scientists.

nation certificate states that he is ITO
teach and demonstrate gospel taught
and demonstrated by Christ to His
people"
When it was pointed out that many
committed to very much the same;
creed, Mr. Arnold rejoined:
But we teach 1t differently e---s
what is your method?''
First of all we show our followers
how to connect themselves with higher
forces.'' So
How is that done?"
by concentration, which is really
the keynote of this religion S
Concentration on what?"
"On whatever thoughts shall conduce
most to the welfare of the person at
that time. No two persons will con-
centrate perhaps In the same way or on
the same forces at the same time'|
At this point Nazzer Singh took UP
the explanation.
Thought is a tangible thing" he
began. Every person has the ability
to make Of himself what he wishes.
AT first people who come to us are
anxious to concentrate on thoughts
which bring material benefits only.
They want success, they want money.
Some 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.
''As soon as the desire for money is sat
isfied 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 f1nanciers-the money
makers. of people famous in the profess
sions or successful in business, or great
spiritual leaders.
when we have become sufficiently pro-
flcient we can do NOR than attract such
helpful spirits to us. We can boldly send
our spirit into their realm.

find it difficult to hold steadfastly to any
one thought for even one minute We aid
them many times by doing the work for
them.
"a result of practicing concentration in
things spiritual is that we are able to
choose the form and conditions of our re-
incarnation. We can't make the choice
while in this body, but afterward.
Yes, this church teaches that until we
reach very advanced spiritual plane we
shall be reincarnated again and again, and
return more than once to this earth The
