THURSDAY NIGHT. .....
Mr.. w D. Curtis, educational su-
perintendent of the Lake Union con-
ference, spoke last evening, the ques-
tion being. els Spiritualism of Di-
the importance of the subject in
PRODUCING the argument by giving a
brief history of the rise and prog
ress of modedn spiritualism. To show
the foundation of their faith he
read the definition Of spiritualism as
found in Webster's Dictionary, and
added 1t is only fair to allow the
leading men of that belief to de-
fine spiritualism. He then read the
statement of Mr.. +. w. Ravlin, a
spiritualist lecturer OF California.
"The central truth of Splritualism Is
the power and possibility of spirit
return, under certain conditions, to
communicate with those in the mater
ial form" '.
Since II claims to be spiritual, the
Investigation of the subject should
rest wholly on the Bible. He then
introduced the language of the apos-
tie Paul, found in 2. Tim. 3 l6, "All
Scripture is given by inspiration of
God and is profitable for doctrine,
foa reproof, for correction, for in
struction in righteousness; that the
man of God may be perfect, thorough
ly furnished unto all good works"
The Scripture is to be the standard
of appeal.
He then read / John Al, "Belov-
ed believe not every spirit, but try
the spirits whether they be of God"
This shows that there are spirits
which are not of God, hence we are
admonished TO try them. And If they
are to be tried we must have some
God-given standard by which to meas
ure them. This is found in the gospel
prophet Isaiah, To the law and TO
the testimo If they speak not ac-
cording to this word, II is because
there is no light in them lisa. 500
From this we see that the law and
the testsimony is the standard by
which we are to measure them, and
II they do not meet the standard
there is no light in them. The speak
er then asked, "If there is no light
in them, what is there?" and the
answer came from the congregation
Darkness.
He also showed that the modern
development of spirituaIlsm is
spoken of in the New Testament as
an event of the last days, l Tim
i:12, which speaks of "Seducing
spirits and doctrines OF devils, speak
ing lies in hypocrisies. In this con-
nection the speaker read an extract
from an article by DR., Childs, prom
nent spiritualist, in which he di-
yides the spirits into two great class
rs and says of the one, "They will
deceive us for their own amusement,
and of the other class DR., Childs con-
.inues, But wise spirits who are
% us the revelators and executors
If the Divine will, designedly deceive
Is for our good" This shows that |
Ill these spirits resort to deception. |
And this is what the Scripture says
If them. They are seducing spirits. |
Hence they cannot be of God; for
iod and truth do not deceive peo-
,le
In a National convention of spirit
ialists held at Chicago. a leading |
peaker named pope used the follow
ng language, which not only exalts
nan TO an equality with God, but
the great lie which Satan
Uttered in Eden.

BAD EFFECT OF
 RECENT TRAGEDY
ECHO OF BENSON KILLING BY CONDUCTOR ROLLER IN TOMB
 STONE PROBATE COURT.

TOMBSTONE, December 20.-An. other chapter was added to the recent episode of the killing of two Mexicans on the Southern Pacific road near Ora goon Summit by Conductor Roller about three weeks since, this morning by the trial in the probate court of a Mexican, Miguel Munez, in regard to his sanity.
 Munez was brought in this morning from Wilcox by Constable Bud Snow, who found him at Dos Cabezas several days since. Munez was caught by citi- zens wandering around the country in a wild state, with most of his clothing torn from his body. He was tied up there over night and was taken to Wilcox and held for few days and then brought here.
 At the examination this morning Munez stated that he was with two l companions on the train coming out of Benson and when the fight started he was knocked off the train, and then took to the hills, where he remained un- til captured and during most of the time he says he was praying for fear that he would be killed. It is evident that Munez has been very badly scared from the effects of the shooting, judg' | ing from his actions and the statements that he made in the court this morn ing. He stated that he did not re member anything much from the time he was thrown from the train until he found himself tied to the tree at Dos | CabeZas.

 Tombstone, December l7, 1907. Dear Sir

his examination appeared rational and it was not until he was taken back to the county jail that he displayed any signs of insanity. He then refused to leave the court room until he was given the papers that the doctors had been making out in regard to his ease. He thought they were going to send him back to Mexico and wanted the papers as his passports. He was finally pick. ed up by the officers and carried back to the jail During the examination it was discovered that he had been in the United States only few months, and under the law is subject to deportation. As consequence he will be held in { the county jail until the immigration officials can come and take him to the line for de oortation.

the founders of modern political
institutions, the referendum has been
adopted with more OF less complete

THE AMERICAN DEA IN RATE.


Remarkable progress is being shown
in practically everything that advances
the wealth and comfort OF Americans
except in the matter of improving the
health conditions of the people. Ac-
cording to government statistics, COW
ering ten states and two-fifths OF
the population, Investigations in this
health area" by the census bureau
show death rate for 1906 of 1872 for
each 1000 of the population. Com
pared with 1904 and 1908, the figures
fail to show any improvement. but
rather mark a retrogression.
This death rate is higher than that
in England, Wales, Scotland or the
Netherlands and indicates that the
American spirit of hurry and worry
may be charged with constantly in
creasing number of the causes of NOR
tally. Bright's disease, apoplexy, dia-
betes, appendicitis, nephritis and the
diseases which are generally admitted
to be due to dietary transgressions
and nervous strain are recorded as
having largely increased their harvest
of victims, being exceeded only by
tuberculosis and cancer. the ancient
enemies Of medical skill.
Probably the showing would be less
severe If the statistics covered larger
area of the country. The statistics cited
we're gathered from Connecticut, New
Hampshire. Maine. Massachusetts, New
York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Indi-
ana. Michigan. New Jersey and the
District of Columbia. and from 1913
cities in other states. the mortality
registration statistics In the other
thirty-ive states not being accepted
as complete or reliable by theNcensus
bureau II will be noted that the great
west, where robust health is the nor
NAL condition and the death rate abb
normally low, docs not figure in the
statistics except from a few cities.
Complete records from this section
would doubtless serve to materially
lower the mortality percentage.
