PSYCHIC SCIENCE METHOD
OF AVOIDING HADES
DR.. Alexander j. Mclvor-TyndalI
Speaks to Large Audience on
"The DEVILS Death"

Hundreds of people who wanted to
hear Dr. Alexander J. McIvorTyndall
on THE DEVILS Death were turned
away from Blanchard hall yesterday
afternoon. The management have
formed a new rule and promptly at 8
o'clock the doors of Blanchard hall
were closed The audience was COM
posed of people of all denominations
and all classes of thinkers, from the
professional man to the day laborer.
DR.. McIvorTyndall was frequently in
terrupted by enthusiastic applause
During the discourse the speaker said:
when preachers talk about preach
ing more hell and that sort of thing
they are simply keeping alive the devil
they so much desire to conquer. Christ
said plainly Resist not evil He said
this because he well knew that evil
grows by resistance, just as the mus
cles of the body develop by resistive
exercise. The devil is merely per-
sonified evil. He has no power except
that which we give to him. There is
nothing good nor bad but thinking
makes it So We well know that in
personal matters mere trif1es may be
magnified into calamities by thinking
about them-by giving them power.
1.-THE human race has built UP for
itself a terrible enemy in the shape of
a devil, and we but add to its power
as long as we recognize it. AS long
as people talk devil and hell, just
SO long will we have the devil and
hell If we could eliminate fear
from the concepts of the human race
we would have compassed the death of
the devil. Fear is the great blank wall
that divides us all from inf1nity-from
truth.
Constant preaching the power of
the devil and chaining peoples atten-
ton to that side of the picture will
never lessen the weight of evil. 1t
isn't evangelicism nor any other name
which we may give to a creed or d
philosophy that is going to slay the
devil 1t is by emphasizing the oppo-
site of evil which Is good. 1t is by
preaching love, and not fear, of God
or good that we can hope to do away
with the negative side of the power.
''I asked an evangelist preacher re-
Gently who he was working for-God or
the devil and he said somewhat in
dignantly that he was working for God
of course. I told him that he should
preach only God then. and let the devil
do his own advertising. If you are
employed by Jones to talk up his
merchandise you don't earn your
money if you go about telling people
about Smith, do you? Talk God or
love and don't give the devil recogni-
tion in your mind. You will soon see
how quickly he will die
DIR. McIvor-Tyndall announced the
subject of his lecture next Sunday
afternoon as Gods Feet" Meetings
will be held at the McIvor-Tyndall In
stitute of Psychic Science, 1901 South
Grand avenue, this afternoon and even
ing, and Wednesday and Friday after

TRAINS ARE DELAYED
BY HEAVY RAINFALL
John w. Gates One of Many Tourists
to Be Held Outside of City
by Washouts

: Heavy rains and generally unsettled
weather conditions all the way from
the California state line to Ell Paso.
Tex. have been causing the officials of
the railroads running into Los Angeles
from the east all kinds of worry for
the past week or two, and the results
of innumerable washouts have been
delayed trains and general misery for
railroad officials and passengers alike
Yesterday the Southern Pacific man
aged to get four trains through with
out mishap and the result was that
nearly five hundred tourists arrived in
the land Of sunshine and engaged in
& Sunday search for hotel accommoda-
tions. AS nearly thousand EASTERN
ers are now embarked on trains which
are stalled between here and Missouri
river points, when the blockade is
raised in earnest there will be a verit-
able cataract of visitors when every
thing is in smooth running order again
and the trains arrive on time.
Most of the damage to the tracks of
the Southern Pacific occurred at a
point near Lordsburg. When trains
were carried safely by that portion of
the road traffic was punched at Tucson
and rushed to California as rapidly as
possible.
In addition to the Inconvenience
caused to passengers by the washouts
the postoffice employees were also made
to suffer. When the four trains ar
rived so close together yesterday 1t
took the entire force of the local de-
partment to sort out the mail and pre-
pare 1t for delivery. While he is not
overburdened with help Postmaster
Flint managed to make the best Of the
force at his command and by dlnt of
hard labor on the part of all concerned
managed to get things in shape to be
ready for the rush which is expected
when today's trains arrive.
One person who suffered with the
rest on account of the pranks of Jupi-
ter Pluvius was John w. Gates, mil
lionaire and speculator, who at present
Is the cynosure of all eyes ON account
of his Unprecedented raid on the wheat
market. The noted magnate was
scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles
yesterday afternoon, but along with
hundreds of others he was forced to
delay his arrival until the track OH the
