"The power to penetrate solid sub
stances" to perceive beyond the finite
or physical senses, into the invisible,
and finally to forecast future events, or
at least events not yet cognized by the
physical senses.
Continuing the speaker said:
although there is a generally ac-
cepted idea that clairvoyance and me-
diumship are one and the same thing,
there is a marked difference between
the two phenomena, scientifically con-
sldered. A medium is what the name
implies-an instrument for the use of a
will, other than his own. A clairvoyant
is one whose own soul faculties are de-
veloped to the point where his vision
extends beyond the physical into the
mental and physical planes of activity.
The one Is the result Of a negative in
dividuality, the other is dependent upon
a positive will, and the power to subject
the physical senses to the control of
the higher ego or soul to which all
things may be known. One marked diff
ference between the phenomena of
mediumship and that of independent
clairvoyance is found In the fact that
the medium, being an instrument COM
trolled by the will of another, usually
knows nothing of what has transpired
while he or she is under the control Of
another, upon again entering the ordin-
ary state. His physical brain has been
used to convey the images or thoughts
or desires of another, and he himself,
is unaware of all that has been trans
piring. In true clairvoyance the SEN
sation of sight is transferred to the
physical consciousness, through the
physical BRAIN"
DR.. McIvor- -Tyndall announced that
next Sunday evening he will bid adieu
to this city, so far as public lecture
work is concerned, although he will
continue to give class instruction at the

ber /. This week will close the class

corrupt and incapable of any good

newer, the progressive thought, say
NO, you are wrong. Man is the off
spring of Deity. He is innately Cod
like. He is in process Of evolution. He
Is divine
"If 1t be true that man is by nature
utterly corrupt and Of himself incap-
able of righteousness, then the creation
of man was a hideous failure. God
blundered. Man is a pitiable tragedy.
This doctrine is a most immoral one.
1t is responsible for large part of
the suffering and misery that man has
endured.
TELL man he is a criminal by ma
ture and you go far toward making
him one. The remembrance of this
teaching has discouraged many
young man battling with his first
great temptation. 1t has disheartened
many prodigal when hope has bright
ened in his heart with the first inn
pulses toward righteousness.
But tell a man he is essentially
good and you have started him toward
the right path. Children taught from
earliest years that they are by nature
children Of light, develop naturally into
good men and women.
1.-THE doctrine of total depravity is
foreign to the recorded teachings of
Christ. He proclaimed the dignity OF
man, his divine sonship. He said to-
man, You are divine. Infinite possi-
bilities repose in you. Godlike powers
lie dormant within you. You are at
present unconscious of those powers.
You are asleep. But take your hand
in mine and 1 say Awake, thou that
sleepest. Awake! Arise to life of
purity, of progress and Of love. Awake
to a consciousness Of your sonship, for
you are the child of the Most High.
His life surges through you. You are
destined to great things. You are

COX Addresses Rally Services

COX Addresses Rally Services
Practically every seat was taken at
the Young Mems Christian association
yesterday afternoon when State Secre-
tary B. B. Wilcox spoke to the general
rally meeting for men and boys. 1t was
another great day in local association
circles, and marked again the interest
which is being shown in the Sunday
afternoon meetings since the arrival Of
the new general Secretary Luther.
Before the address the singing, in
which the large audience of men Joined
heartily, as they were led by Secretary
Luther and the chorus choir, aroused
interest and enthusiasm.
Mr.. Wilcox spoke from the text, "Be
1t known to thee, oh King, that we will
not serve thy gods, nor worship the
golden image which thou has set up"
He spoke in substance as follows:
There is no grander sight in this life
than to see an imperiled man in the
face of danger, stand for his conviction
of what he knows is right. It is a fine
his convictions regardless of what the
result may be. Such courage of con-
viction is what we see In this case of
Daniel and his friends, who dared the
kingly authority when they refused
to worship the golden image. These
same men had displayed the same
courage Of conviction earlier in their
history when, as college youths, they
had refused to drink of the kings wine
or eat Of the kings meat and after
faring on pulse and water, were found
to be the fairest of the royal court. Re-
ward came, as it always does. when
these young men were set in authority
over the affairs of Babylon. Reward
came again when the power of God pro-
tected them when they were thrown in
the fiery furnace after refusing to bow
the knee to the golden image. They
were men of conviction"

"SlN' IS THEME OF REV. DAY
Its Nature and Results Are Explained
by the Pastor


Last night at the First Congrega-
tional church the pastor, Rev. William
Horace Day, gave the sixth sermon on
The Teachings of Jesus. The topic
was "Sin, It's Nature and Results"
"Sin, a missing of the mark-a char
acter that has failed to reach the plan
God set for it. If we fail to believe the
right ideas we will fail to do right
acts, and repeated failure to act rightly
leads to a sinful character. Concep-
tions we hold produce conduct, and our
conceptions coupled with our conduct
results in character. Success In MAX
ing money In this city depends upon
the things the money seeker believes.
If he believes in Los Angeles he will
act accordingly whether he buys lands,
erects buildings, starts business enter
prises or constructs street car lines,
the men of most conspicuous success
have never lacked in faith. This is a
crude illustration of the true basis of
moral success or failure which Jesus
insisted depended upon belief in him.
'The results of sin commands our in
terest. What did Jesus mean us to
understand would result from a sinful
life? There are ten passages in his
teaching that suggest the answer.
Jesus presents the future Of the sinner
by means of six terms. Gehenna. outer
darkness, eternal fire, eternal punish
ment, hades, death.
Il think a careful study Of all Jesus
did say will convince US that he was
not attempting to give detailed pic
ture Of place or a method of punish
ment but I feel sure the reading of
these passages cannot fail to show that
he who loved us warns us with urgent
severity against the results of the sin
to which we so carelessly commit our
selves"

PLEADS FOR DUMB BEASTS
Very Rev. DR.. Wilkins Tells of Mans
Duty to Animals

Very Rev. DR.. Wilkins Tells of Mans
Duty to Animals
"The Rights of Animals" was the
topic of Very Rev. DR.. Wilkins last
evening at st. Pauls Pro-cathedral.
DR.. Wilkins, in a logical way, brought
forth the rights of the dumb beasts in
an eloquent manner. He said in part:
II want to plead for justice to our
poor relations of the lower order of life.
1t seems to be generally assumed that
bound to respect and that all our con-
sideration for them must spring from
pure generosity or perhaps super
abundant condescension. But all such
assumptions are radically unjust. They
are based upon inordinate regard for
our own supremacy. But really we
have no supremacy or superiority of
which greatly to boast Man may
regard himself as the lord of creation,
but he cannot on that account repudi-
ate his obligations to the dumb serfs
on his estate. For we are all animals,
though men are more than animals.
All orders of creation are made by one
God; all share many common needs.
wants and feelings; all have rights
and are entitled to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness in the several
spheres of life and duty to which they
have been divinely assigned.
"Men will compass a continent to have
shot at bear, deer, stag or ele-
phant; and If they make a kill they
are as proud as though they had won a
decoration. And many times 1t is not
instant death to these noble animals,
but prolonged agony First. wounds,
then starvation, pain and lingering
death, merely to please a man who
wishes to hit mark that shows 1t is
hit by jumping, and a thrill of pain.
"The whole round world is traversed
by men of the English race
who seem to find their pleasure in CIV
ing pain to their poor relationship
animals beneath them.
"The average boy Is naturally bar
barian-thoughtless and cruel. He can
not see bird sitting on a fence or a
tree without fiinging something at It.
He cannot see cat, that does not be-
long to his own household, without
singing a stone at it. He can not see a
dog without shouting ky, vi. vi. at It
to see it run, If he does not do some-
thing more cruel The pain of the ami
mails is not lessened because 1t is given
thoughtlessly. That fact every boy
should be made to remember and heed.

sons OF every boy in the land. an es-
sential part of the education to be ham

that education be Of the school. Sunday

Catholics Begin Erection Of MagnIfi-

Avenue and Daily Street Under
AusplcIous Conditions

with words of congratulation and
praise for pastor and parishioners, Rt.
Rev Bishop Conaty yesterday after
noon laid the corner stone Of Conaty
hall. the parish building Of the Church
of the Sacred Heart at Downey avenue
and DAILY street. This Is the first hail
OF its kind to be erected In the dio-
cese Of Monterey and Los Angeles and
marks q new era in local church his
tory.
The bishop was assisted In the cere-
mony, which was witnessed by q large
number Of people, by Rt. Rev. Mgr.
Harnett, v. c.; Dean Hartnedy, Rev.
M. McAuliffe, the pastor; Very Rev.

Sacred Heart, and ]. Coneally, San
Pedro.
Following the ceremony Bishop
Conaty ascended to the platform and
delivered short address, in which he
pointed out the work to be accom-
plished by the building being erected.
He said in part:
Bishops Address
Next to the church is the parish
school, where the children are taught
their duties to God and fellow man.
After the church and school come the
parish societies, religious bodies of men
and women. With parish societies and
confraternities come others for social
and literary purposes. So we are
gathered here today to lay the corner
stone of this building, in which the
parish societies will meet.
"In one Of the prayers which was
said three words were used, faith, fear
and brotherly love. 1t seems this cere-
mony brings that lesson to us. After
all it is in the faith of God we lay this
corner stone. This building is an ex-
preston of our faith-that we are not
merely men of the world, but first and
above all the children of God.
I'VE also used the word fear but 1t
is not the fear that comes to the slave,
but which brings us closer to God by
making us feel that only in God can we
live.
"Brotherly love was also said. After
all the word of God is love. The one Of
all words he would imprint on every
child is love We cannot love God
unless we love our neighbor."

little while, that they might learn,
since they cannot or will not learn in
any other way, an animals rights. One
Of the best things that can be done for

them that animals are Gods creatures
and have rights which we are bound to
respect"

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant end purifier in nature, but
IeW realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
Ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
dfsinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in
the form Of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM

possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
