GIVES HIS UNDERSTANDiNG
OF THEORY OF EVOLUTION

LOS ANGELES, April 15.-[Editor
Herald: George w. Carey, in his let
ter of April u, says: Evolution con-
tends that life was evolved from some
thing but gives no hint of the origin
of that something or its character"
l do not so understand the doctrine
of evolution as laid down by the great
Darwin or his followers. The word
evolution" is derived from two words
in the Latin tongue-"eX,' out, and
"volvo," to roll. Webster accurately
translates it into English as ito open
itself" Now. it is true that life
evolves or opens itself, but this it al
ways does in forms. Hence the evolu-
ton of life is it's manifestation in the
growth of living forms as traced
through all the generations descended
from the first which appeared on this
planet.
Life itself being universal is there
fore without beginning and without
end, but the forms of life have begin
nings and endings. These opposite
points of limitations are not only SEEM
ing but true, as we see demonstrated
daily. Mr.. Carey is correct when he
says Each phase of manifested life
is but a differentiation of universal
energy" but his inference that the in
dividualized life is immortal is incor-
rect, for at death the life and con-
seriousness of the individual again
mingle with the universal from which
they were differentiated.

SOCIETIES TRY TO PREVENT
TRAFFIC IN WHITE SLAVES

LOS ANGELES, April 16.-[Editor
Herald: The suggestion of H. b. S.
that this city needs a civic society to
further the work of suppressing vice
is good. Would it not seem that the
scope of such society should be along
the lines of the national vigilance COM
mittee which looks first of all to the
prevention of the nefarious white slave
traffic? The cities and the nations of
the world are alike aroused on this
subject. Every nation of Europe ex-
cept Turkey has such society now at
work. In the United States the ma
tional vigilance committee has head
quarters at New York, with DR.. o. e.
Janney as chairman. The Illinois
branch has its center in Chicago and
the names of Mrs. Raymond Robbins,
Mrs. Charles Henrotin. Prof. Albion
w. Small and Judge Julian w. Mack
are among its chief promoters.
The work of the committees is to in
Vestigate and secure facts, to spread
reliable information with a view to
arousing public sentiment on this sub
ject. The abuses unearthed by the in
Vestigations so far are enormous;
there was no feature of the negro
slavery, even the most revolving, but
what is far outdone. both i'm cruelty
and degradation, by this modern slav-
cry.
At present better legislation is need
ed. but with that and to make the laws
effective are needed volunteer citizens
formed into societies who, by compe-
tent investigation and perpetual vigil
ance. will see that the laws are en-

gence of the medium, and that pres
ence and actions of the spirits of the
dead are felt in the phenomena. While,
on the contrary. the Spiritualists ac-
cept as an article of faith, without de-
manding more proofs thereof, that
these spirits are the sole agents in the
production of the observed facts.
Hereward Darlington concludes: I'VE
have seen that the vast bulk of the
physical phenomena of Spiritualism are
certainly produced by fraudulent
means and devices, and that we are to
expect nothing genuine in the way OF
either mental or physical phenomena.
These men | have quoted spent from
a quarter to a half century in this
work of investigating this phenomena
and what l quote from them proves
the very opposite of what Jane j. June
claims for this research. If you want

are and how they do it read Behind

IDEA OF SUPERNATURAL
EVIL BEING is ASSUMED

POMONA. April 16.-I Editor Herald !
In today's issue "Lineman,' if we are
to take him seriously, writes as if he
believed in the supernatural Satan and
devil which have such prominence in
certain religious circles. That there is
devil no one instructed in the truth OF
the Bible would question. That he is
IAN intelligent, unseen power" as one
of your Letter Box contributors sug-
gests, is altogether without foundation.
The word devil does not occur in the
Old Testament The plural form is
found in four places, in each case re-
ferring to the idols to which the heather
offered their sacrifices. The heart of
man is always represented as the source
of evil. See Numbers 1888. / Samuel
17:2S, Proverbs 1926, Ecclesiastes S:l1,
and many other places. If IAN intelli-
gent, unseen power" inimical to human
welfare existed, is it not strange that
men were not warned to beware of him?
To deny the existence of such a power
seems, with some, as if II were denying
a personal devil Not by any means.
Jesus said to his disciples: Have not
| chosen you twelve, and one of you is
q devil?" John 6:70). The personality
Of the devil in that case is evident, but
there was nothing mysterious about
him. In Revelation 2:10 Jesus warned
the church at Smyrna that the devil
would cast some of them into prison.
This was undoubtedly a multitudinous
devil, in the persons of political authori-
ties who prosecuted the early Chris
tianS even to death.
James says GID RESIST the devil
and he will flee from you" In accord
Snce with this admOnition Paul was

DENIES CAPITALIZATION OF
SOCIALISM WILL MAKE EVIL

ORANGE, April 9.-[Editor Herald]:
Your editorial entitled Socialism
Capitalized" contains news that is
rather startling, if true. l refer to
the statement that Robert Hunter. has
devoted his fortune to the cause of
which he is so good an advocate. l
cannot agree in your idea that we, as
Socialists, must find in what you call
1.-The capitalization of Socialism much
reason for gloomy reflection. why
should We? OF the many ways III
which the cause of Socialism can be
seem to be a cooperative effort
financed by men who not only believe
in it. but are ready to show their faith
by their works.
If Mr.. Hunter has really taken such
an advanced position we rejoice with
him in his opportunity to do so much
good for his own country and for hui
mainly throughout the world. Not
knowing the extent of the fortune
owned by the man whom you say has
capitalized his section of the Socialist
party" we cannot form an estimate OF
what may be done with it; but at least
we congratulate him on his decision to
use it in the attempt to abolish pow
erty, rather than to scatter is in char
ity, which, while sometimes necessary
as a present relief, yet perpetuates the
evil conditions which call it forth.
You point out the fact that most So
cialists have to eat capitalistic bread
and that they are just as willing as
others to take the reward of the serV-
ice they render OF course they must
do that or starve. But it is one thing
to do ones duty to a master and yet
look forward to better situation, and
a different thing to be a willing slave
with no hope of escape. Socialists must
make the best of present opportunities,
even while planning their freedom.
There is much more to say, but l have
reached the limit of space. L. w.

WOULD INTERPRET BIBLE BY
SCIENCE OF CORRESPONDENCE

LOS ANGELES, April 11.-[Editor
Herald: Shelton Bissell rejects the
allegorical Interpretation of the Bible
and recommends the MISUNDERSTANDING,
which latter, 1 take it, means that we
are asked to believe in the historical
literal narrative, subjecting it to scien-
tific test
Can it be proved as a scientific fact
by that method that the Israelites
marched dry shod through the Red sea
with the waters piled up as solid walls
on either side (EX. 14:22) or that the
walls of Jericho were blown fiat by the
sound of trumpets? (Jos. 60.
Take something of the gospels How
can 5000 people be fed by few lOaves
and fishes? These things are physical
impossibilities. nevertheless they are
true when spiritually perceived and UNI
derstood according to the laws of spir-
itual correspondence with natural laws.
Our friend Charming Severance would
call them lies. and so would I if ! had
no spiritual means of understanding
them The ancients practiced this
science of correspondence which was
lost, rediscoVered and explained by
Emanuel Swedenborg, whose books
may be obtained i'm any library. Thus
both the Old and New Testaments were
written in two senses, that the ignorant
might be benefited by mere belief, while
the initiated might be urged on to
greater spirituality.
The Bible lives today not by means of
it's literal meaning but by it's internal
and spiritual sense. The existence of
the Jewish race today is evidence of the
rower of that book. The life and power
of Christianity is its browning glory.
If it were merely a political history of
peoples it would have been buried with
the tablets of NineVeh and Babylon and
be forgotten. c. F.

TELLS HOW TO INVESTIGATE
CLAIMS OF SPIRITUAIIsTs

Los ANGELES, April 15.-[Editor
Herald: l want to thank you, Mr.
Editor, for publishing the exposures
of Spiritualism by Bishop Garrison
You are doing a good work, even if
Jane j. June thinks otherwise. She
says the scientific men constituting the
Psychical Research society, after years
of investigation, were forced to admit
the genuineness of the Spiritualists'
claims, and she mentions three names
two of which belonged to the society
One was Prof Richard Hodgson. who
exposed more Spiritualist mediums
including Nine. Blavatsky, than any
other half dozen men, and the second
name she mentioned was Prof. James

TRANSLATES WORDS AND
PHRASES IN SCRIPTURES

SANTA MONICAy April 11.-[Editor
Heraldl: In reply to the letter by "A
Sinner Saved by Grace" l wish to
thank our friend for calling attention
to the Scripture concordance on the
several words hell, pit, devil, second
DEATH fire, birthstone, etc. / assure
all Herald readers that we find on ex-
animation of the Scriptures on these
subjects that the word hell in the Old
Testament is translated from the He
brew word sheol, which occurs in all
sixty-five times and in every instance
it refers to pit, grave, state of the
dead-a state in which there is no
consciousness or pain or knowledge or
device of any kind. Please note fol-
lowing texts: Amos go, Psalms 1875
Psalms 1910, 6:5. 1914. 49,; S9:49, lis:
II, Ezekiel 1927; Jonah 2:12, Genesis
1895, 42:3S; Job 14:13, 17:13; Ecclesi-
astes $40.
In the New Testament we find the
word hades translated hell and it is
synonymous with sheol in the Old Tes-
lament. For proof texts see Acts 10: 35.
In regard to the devil we find He
brews 2:14, Romans 1929, etc, that he
is to be destroyed, consequently when
we read in the symbolic book of ReVe-
lation that Satan and the beast and the
false prophet are to be cast into the
lake of fire and birthstone, which is
called the second death. we can be sure
it is the same penalty everywhere in
the Scriptures pronounced against all
eVildoers. See Romans 6:23, SIP,
Ezekiel 1874, Genesis 2:17, Psalms 49:12-
16, Psalms 46:4, Psalms 6:5, Ezekiel
9:5-1O. 3:19-20, 1929: Job 1921.

THINKS SABBATH is DAY
FOR REcREATlVE WORSHIP

GARVANZA. April 15-Your CORE
spondent's plea for greater freedom
and recreation on the Sabbath is well
founded, and when we realize, as we
surely shall sometime. that religion is
a matter of twenty-four hours day
and that substantial worship of God
is to be practiced every hour out of
the twenty-four during the six days,
we shall find that Sunday will become
the day for recreative worship of God.
And as man is a threefold being, he
will find that his spiritual nature will
crave formal worship in prayer and
praise and teaching of spiritual truth.
That form of recreation should come
first in the day, and the latter part
can be devoted to the recreation of his
social and physical nature. He alone
can decide for himself what is the
most truly recreative for him. l be-
lieve that to be the highest use we
can make of the Sabbath when the
substantial worship of God in the home
and in all our work and business has
been faithfully done during the six
days of the week.
