Converted to SpirituaIism

81 am not here to talk theology, but
how many do we see converted to
spiritualism. Say there is one brother
here and another in the east, the latter
having a son who had just died. The
man here does not understand his feel
ings and goes to a medium. This
medium reads from his subjective mind
and tells him of the death of the
brothers. child. The medium had but
read from his mind that which it con-
tanned, but which he did not under
stand.
THE subjective mind governs the
functions and sensations Of the body.
1t makes pain and relieves pain. a
woman can be suffering the most eX-
cruciating pain, but if her baby should
upset teakettle of boiling water over
itself her love for the child would be
called up and she would take care of
1t, her own pain forgotten. DR.. Liv-
ingston tells us that when he was liter
ally being eaten alive by lion his fear
was so great that his subjective mind
did not have time to think of pain.
Every act of your life is suggestion.
Suppose you are very much interested
In any subject, you do not think of its
being dinner time and do not feel
hungry but let some one take out his
watch and you find 1t is dinner time.
and you are Immediately hungry. The
watch is the suggestion.
MAN is made up of the force of sug-
gestion. 1t shapes our destinies and
rears our children.
~ am not here to say one word
against any sect teaching metaphysical
healing. If you say they do not heal
1t Is because you have not investigated
1t. Christian Science is the most
potent When you take and strip 1t
you come to the one proposition-that
matter does not exist. 1t means that
when look at you you are not here.
l. is only a picture of the mind, that
you are of God and God cannot be
sick, consequently you cannot be sick.

SAYS MIND CAN
CURE DISEASES
METHODIST MINISTER'S HEAR
STARTLING ADDRESS
Dr. w. L. Brown Urges Preachers to
Investigate FearIessly Power
Of Metaphysical
Healing

TO the M ethodist ministers of Los
Angeles assembled at the German NJ.
10. church yesterday Dr. w. i. Brown
of South Los Angeles declared meta
physical healing a reality. and asserted
that disease may be healed by sug-
gestion.
Numerous instances tending to prove
his assertions were cited by DR..
Brown.
The ministers listened attentively
and apprently were impressed by the
physician's arguments. DR.. Brown said
In part:
Metaphysical healing belongs to
psychology and in looking at psychol-
ogy we find IL not new. We find it
through all the ages more or less.
While other countries were studying
1t America seemingly paid little heed
to it. This is a strange assertion, as
Americans are considered among the
foremost in research
"It remained, however, for America
to find the harmonizing influence for
the world and to set thinking men to
investigate. Mr.. Hudson of Washing
ton, d. c.. accomplished this. / do not
believe all he has written, but there are
things / at first did not believe and
have since proved and found to be
correct. The absolute correctness of
chemistry we cannot demonstrate, but
we get a definite result.
Mans Dual Mind
Man has dual mind says Mr.. Hud-
son. the subjective and the objective.
The subjective mind is purely and
absolutely the outgrowth of our physi-
cal existence. The subjective is the
physical mind, while the objective
deals with the outside the medium of
the five human senses. Its highest
function is that of reason and it rea-
sons in every way.
"The subjective mind does not de-
pend on the physical body. 1t has a
mentality of it's own, capable to per-
ceive and intuition, containing all the
emotions and passions. 1t is the
tablet of memory.
"The subjective mind contains the
emotions and passions, while the OBJ
jective mind governs and controls
them. This has a bearing on meta
physical healing. Anything contained
in the subjective mind, unless removed,
is reality.
"The subjective mind is capable OF
receiving and transmitting communica-
tions from one to another regardless
Of distance. Let me give you one illus
tration of a case which occurred during
the late war. There were twin broth
ers, they had been brought up together
as close as possible. One was in Chi
cago and the other was in Manila, 5000
miles separating them. One evening
the brother i'll Chicago was sitting
quietly with his family, but suddenly
jumped up and said that his brother
had just died in Manila. Five days
after that the message was received in
Chicago of the brothers death at the
exact hour and minute on which the
brother in Chicago had made the dem
onstration.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.--Nellie

"If the people want to incite the
referendum on the bill let them go
ahead and do it. But this talk is all
buncombe and do not believe in en-
couraging it. I do not consider the
bill out of the way in the least and the
Legislature confined itself to the
recommendation Of the governor as
near as it could The normal schools
are Just as much state institutions as
the other institutions and | believe
they should continue to be supported
by the Legislature until they are
abolished by the people through the
Legislature or the initiative The
referendum will not abolish them it
will only serve to impede progress. "
These are the sentiments expressed by
Senator Squire Farrar of Marion
county, chairman Of the Ways and
Means committee of the recent legis-
lature, IN answer to an inquiry as to
his position to call special session
of the Legislature to change the
appropriation bills for educational
institutions to correspond to the ideas
of the Democratic and Populistic
leaders who are pushing the referen-
dunn movement on the appropriations
in question. Senator Farrar is right,
too.

Married In Portland.

Mr.. John Castle, of this city, and
Mrs. Lavena McColm, Of Lincoln,
Nebraska, were married in Portland,
Wednesday evening, Mrs. McColm
left her Eastern home several weeks
ago, and after stopping off at Cald-
we'll, Idaho, to visit relatives, con-
tinued her journey to Portland where

BUILDING BEGINS EARLY
Many New Dwelling Houses Are
Going Up in Dallas.

The fine weather of the last three
weeks has had the effect Of stimulating
business in all lines, and in no branch
Of industry is this activity more
noticeable at the present time than in
the carpenters and builders trade.
Work has opened up much earlier
than usual this year, and the greater
number of carpenters in Dallas
already have steady employment.
Between rs and 100 dwelling houses
were built in Dallas last year, and it
was the general opinion at the close
Of the building season last Fall that
another such period Of building
activity would not be experienced for
many years to come, and that few
houses would be built in 1905. Judg-
ing from present prospects, however,
there will be much doing between now
and next Winter, and it would not be
at all surprising if the number of
houses built this year we're to exceed
the number built last year.
A. Fl. Harris, the jeweler, is pre-
pairing to build modern, room
house on his lot in the Sites addition.
Work on the structure will be COM
menced next week.
E. N. Hall, who built beautiful
home on Washington street last year,
is laying the foundation for hand
some cottage on an adjoining lot.
L. d. Daniels building two cottages
in the south part of town. Mr.. Daniel
is entitled to medal for having built
more houses than any other man in
Dallas.
Ralph Morrison has purchased a
lot from Mrs. Alice Dempsey in the
Conkey addition, and will build a
neat cottage.
IL. M. Brown, whose house in North
Dallas was destroyed by fire last week
is rebuilding on the same site.
j. J. Wiseman is remodeling his
residence on Academy street in such
way as to make it practically lew
house.
Many other building improvements
are contemplated, and a great change
will be made in the appearance of the
town this Summer. Dallas is grow
Ing rapidly-more rapidly even than
most of her own wide-awake, ,enterpris
ing people realize.

Apparently little interest is being
taken in the annual city election to be
held two weeks from next Monday,
This is not as it should be. 1t is the
duty of every citizen to take an inter
est in municipal affairs, to the end
that capable, progressive men may be
chosen for officers. If no attention is
paid to the nomin ations and incapable
men walk off with the election, the
citizens in default will have none but
themselves to blame. The terms of
six officers expire in May, as follows
Mayor, Auditor, Councilman -at-large,
and one Councilman from each Of the
three wards of the city. SO far as is
known, none of the present officers are
candidates for reelection, and it will
be necessary to choose new men to fill
these places. All nominations, wheth-
er made by political parties, mass con-
ventions, or by petition, must be filed
in the office of the City Auditor not
later than Wednesday, March 29.

The referendum agitation is dying
out; at least, little is heard Of it in
Polk county. The general sentiment
among the people Of this county seems
to be that more can be accomplished
in correcting the Normal school abuse
by invoking the aid Of the initiative
A move to cut off two or three of the ex-
isting Normal schools, would have uni
versal support, as it would accomplish
desired results without embarrassing
necessary and worthy state institu-
tions. 1t is safe to predict that cor
rection Of the Normal school abuse
will come through the initiative, if it
comes at all, and not through the
referendum.
