A statement issued by the Meta
physics club states regarding these
texts:
When merely read under ordinary
conditions the effect is superficial and
soon fades away But when mentally
photographed through the passive ex-
posure of sensitive consciousness they
take on a living reality"
The four chairs face q wall on
which, on a blue background and
framed in dark wood, appears the
symbol Of ancient times of the per-
fected soul.
1t is a round globe, and from each
side stretches out broad pinions of
shades of violet. The whole may be
shut OF from view by draperies of
royal purple velvet.
Above the symbol are these words
in gold: God is here and every
where. In him We live and move and
have our being" On the pinions are

Warsaw physician has just saved her
self from murder and robbery under
circumstances as thrilling as ever

Stresky sat with her needlework up
stairs in the drawing-room Sudden
ly looking up, she saw, in a mirror,
the reflection of a huge, rutfianly
looking man, cruching behind screen
which stood at the back of her chair,
For moment fear petrified her, as
she thought that this man, knowing
she was alone, had crept into the
house and was awaiting an opportun-
ity to murder her and strip the house
of valuables. Outside the street was
as quiet as the grave. Her husband
would not be back for hours. To rush
from the room and cry madly for help
meant Fastening death

was a telephone in the room. She
went to it and quickly rang up fam

The friend at the other end OF the
phone was mystified They had never
had any financial dealing with each
other, nor had she heard of the sum
in question. But before she could say
anything, the doctors wife began
again-this time in French:
Some wretch has got into the
