FATHER PARDow ON sPIRITIsM.

II am convinced" said the Rev. William O'Brien
Pardow in his lecture before the Daughters of
the Faith at the Catholic Club. No. 120 Central Park
South Yesterday afternoon that there is truth in
spiritualfs1n, or, I prefer to call it. spritisn
Putting aside so per of aud. there is 40
doubt that there have been from the spirit
world The Catholic doctrine allows that"
Father Pardow read from the Bible the account
of saurs visit the at Endor. the ia
nous Witch Of Endor whom should call a me-
dunn now" he observed. After reading the passage
which describes how Samuel appeared to Saul he
said: There is a clear of vision. That set
Ties all about the possibility Of the thing
But what is the Church's attitude toward mod
ern spiritism? The person who .consuits a me-
dunn nowadays does generally because hes wants
to know what Is going to happen to him next week
or for amusement But God doesn't send down
companies Of his angels to give people refined
vaudeville God sent Samuel TO Saul to give him
counsel.
..People go to mediums hoping to speak with
a dead mother. wife husband. The Church
teaches and science agrees that there is no proof
of any instance OF communication with any par
ticular person. The Church says that such COM
munication is communication with demons. Now
and then the father OF lies tells the truth: il he
didn't tell the truth occasionally he'd be banished
Now and then spiritsm may lead person from
materialism 70 religion. but the mistake is when
people make spiritism a religion"
Father Psrdow devoted few paragraphs Of his
lecture 70 people who hold that Christmas means
simply the birth OF the spirit OF good will In men.
IF It means anything II means the birth Of the
Child at Bethlehem he said Il feel no birth
of any spirit in my breast at Christmas time. Such
talk Is pure rot"

EGG PRICES SOAR.
Sell for 46 Cents at Wholesale Of Hens,
Saw Dealers

Eggs are high. and going higher Forty-six cents
a dozen is the wholesale price to-day, and IT may
Jump to more than 80 cents in few days, as 1t
jumped from 70 cent? since last week Retail prices
depend on the neighborhood. Every grocer gets as
large profit as he can. and some districts will
stand for more than others. But It may be taken
for granted that "strictl-- fresh eggs offered for
less than S cents dozen said goodby 10 the parent
nest some time ago
Never before were eggs so high at this time Of
the year and dealers declare that it is the fault OF
the hen There's no corner in fresh eggs SAID
one You can't corner fresh eggs for by the time
Won got them cornered they wouldn't be fresh
The hens aren't doing their duty, that's all
Yet It isn't the fault of the hen reany-it IS the
fault of the skies. which refused rain People may
not think that the lowly hen suffers from an
absence of water and grass but the fact is that
a drouth causes shortage Of eggs just as 1t does
A shortage of milk And at the present moment all
Western hens are further discouraged by the cold
out there
The only way to make eggs low is to stop eating
them If the demand continues. they will surely
