SAFE BLOWERS GET 9s.


Safe blowers visited the wholesome gro
Gerry store OF A. Lehman, 16 and 10 d
street northwest, this morning before day
break. Considerable work was necessary
In order to effect an entrance to the store
and additional effort was necessary In or
der to move the small safe from the office
to the store. where the work of opening it
could be carried on without fear of attract
ing the attention of pedestrians who might
happen to be upon the street at SO early
an hour. Several sacks of flour were emp
tied upon the floor and the safe rolled upon
1t In order that less noise might be made
while the work was in progress. Instead
of using an explosive the burglars proceeded
to dig the bottom of the safe and finally
succeeded In getting to the compartments
In which the cash was kept. They got 81
for their trouble, or about 81 each, as the
police have reason to believe that at least
three men participated In the robbery. The
police think the robbery was committed by
men who belong here and not by profess
sionals. In addition to the small amount
Of money that was taken some notes and
papers disappeared from the safe. They
are of no value to the robbers, however, as
none of them are negotiable.

so1nNor AND RELIGION.
Address by Mr.. @. Jinarajadasa OF
Ceylon.


BY invitation of the pastor. Rev. A. Kent
Mr.. c. Jinarajadasa Of Ceyion spoke yes
terday morning at the Peoples Church on
Science and religion OF the future. Inc
lecturer said In part:
Evolution works In the realm of spirit
as well as in matter. Each soul is con-
tinuaNy perfecting itself through expe-
rience. Hitherto religions have taught men
to be good; all religions have some elements
of truth and each supplements the other.
But religions supply only one element,
the development Of the intellect through the
understanding of science Is also necessary.
Art, teaching the soul to understand what
is true beauty. equally helps the evolution
of men. Theosophy is not new religion
or a new science 1t is the science of re-
ligion and the religion of science, for 1t
shows the underlying principles Of religions,
sciences. PHILOSOPHERS and arts. Many new
creeds and religions will come and go, but
there viii always be theoSophy for those
who desire a larger view of Iifes activities
than will ever be found in any one religion
alone"
In the evening under the auspices of the
Washington Philosophical Society, Mr..
Jinara jadasa spoke at the Confederate Vet
Grams Hall on the "Subconscious and SUI
perconscious mind of man. Said the leo
turer

idea of the past rushes up from below from

monopoises the mans normal mind. We
say he Is mad. Is is not the man that Is
mad. but merely some psychic units that
override his consciousness and take control.
Genius, on the other hand, is the result
of the coordination of past experiences by
the mans higher mind, the superconscious;
