THINKS THAT SALVATION Is
OUTCOME OF MENTAL EFFORT

OCEAN, PARK. Nov. 5.-[Editor
Herald; F. F. S. is not quite thorough
enough in his expurgation of the error
in Savonarola's statement that Man
stands in the image and likeness of
God, free to choose good or evil"
The possibility that no one knows
what is the image and likeness of God
must present the inference that such a
likeness exists, interchangeable as it's
fixed principle, and God who is un-
varying good must be imaged or re-
flected in goodness. p. A. Jensen,
commenting, exhibits a broader COM
prehension of the subject in dstin-
gushing between types of mankind
and the real man those who are born
of the flesh (heredity and environ
ment). and that which is born of spirit,
mind, the truthful man which latter
was manifested in the life of Christ
Jesus, who presented the true image
which mortal thought models can
never project.
Self-will is not an endowment of
fixed principle. Jesus the Christ mani
tested a disposition devoid of self-will,
He said, Il can of mine own self do
nothing, but whatsoever the Father
doeth that doeth the son likewise"
thus indicating his likeness to the
Father.
f. #. s., infatuated with an idea, is
again Juggling heredity and environ
ment, still struggling to convince him
self that salvation is matter of
chance and not the outcome Of intel
ligent mental effort, and hence NOR
tails must constantly vibrate between
the despotism of heredity and the

SAYS MAN PROGRESSES

Los ANGELES, Nov. S.-[Editor
herald: Why deal with negatives
They are unreal Keep to that which
is POSITIVE, or you poke at an il
lusion!
Say that we are creatures of he
redity and environment, and you there
by say that man can neither progress
nor improve. Theories of material eV-
olution, allied with theories of hered-
ity and environment, defeat them
selves, poor counterfeits indeed of
spiritual laws of Gods omnipresence;
his creation of man as his image. If
man is ruled by heredity and environ
ment, where, o materialist, are you?
Are you still dwelling in the stone age :?
Are you a tree man, an ape man, an
ape, a sea animal, a one-cell, or even
scum of primitive ocean? How did
you progress? BY will power that you
possessed not, in this theoretical
past?
What HAS enabled man to progress? /?
The overcoming of such false lies as
heredity and environment rule, not
bowling down and worshiping them.
Desire to express good, and good ex-
pressed has ever been superior to ma
teriality.

History shows that progress is ever
accompanied by the casting off of fall

HIGHER UP!

AT EWS that an indictment has been
found against James f. Bender
4 nagel, for many years general
superintendent of the Williamsburg
refinery of the American Sugar Re
filming company, is mildly exciting, be-
cause it indicates the government
sleuths are travelling upward, and the
higher personages, with whose consent
and connivance and either approval Of
or lack of disapproYal the profitable
Weighing frauds were carried out may
get their deserts.
The American public has "stood for
a great deal, but refuses to believe
that the adroit and skillful fraud in
sugar-weighing devices was conducted
upon the initiative of the miserable
underpaid, hired weighing machine at
tendants. That unskilled laborers
should have engineered" a theft Of
$2,O00,000 from the government is a
preposterous suggestion; while the fact
that the alleged "thieves" could not
possibly have been benefited by the
fraud, excepting in so far as the COM
pany allowed them to be benefited, is
obvious
There is some common sense in the
proposition that probably all the un-
derlings with whose connivance the
weighing machines We're interfered
with acted in accordance with IN
STRUCTIONS from the headquarters
TO which they looked for their re-
enumeration.
Too often "malefactors of great
wealth" (to borrow Mr. Roosevelt's
famous phrase) have managed to shift
the blame Of their misdeeds to the
shoulders of employees, and have plead
ed ignorance of transactions which

WOULD HAVE BELL ToLLED
OVER EVERY VOTING PLACE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11.-[Edltor
Herald: The sight of automobiles and
carriages engaged in carrying voters
yesterday suggested to me the great
expense legitimately incurred in get
ting voters to the polls. And even
then it is often impossible to get but
a small fraction of the registered
voters to express themselves on very
vital questions.
1t occurred to me that this trouble
might in a large measure be remedied
by the simple device of having bell
hung in an elevated position over
every voting place, such as churches
have, to be rung at frequent intervals
on election days.
This might involve the ownership of
the buildings used as voting places, but
the public could find abundant use for
q small building in each voting pre-
cinct that would justify such expense.
They might very protitably be used
for places of public comfort, for IL
brary branches. and many other uses,
and a regular place OF voting would
add to the dignity of election, which
is now so much lacking, when the
booths are in the rear of barber or
shoe shops. ID. REAMER.
