TRIBUTES TO DIR. CARSON
21st Anniversary of Found
ing of Temple of Health
Celebrated.

A great Temple Of Light, costing $4,000,
to be erected in Kansas City in the near
future. and in which all who are afflicted
with disease in any form shall betreated
without money and without price-that
was the central announcement which
stood out above all the other features of
unique and interesting occasion in con-
nection with the celebration of the TWEEN
ty-first anniversary of the founding of
the Temple of Health by DR.. C. H Car
son. The celebration occurred in the
spacious temple at Twelfth and Wash
ington streets and the preparations which
had been made for the attendance of sew
eral hundred people from all parts of the
country were amply warranted by the
attendance which taxed the accommoda-
tons of the institution.
The rooms were crowded both after
noon and night with the former patients
of DR.. Carson and members of the So
ciety for Scientific Revelation, which is
behind the movement to erect the great
institution which is to crown DIR. Carson's
career in this community Throughout
the afternoon and evening hundreds of
persons extended their congratulations to
DR.. Carson On the great work he has ac-
complished during his residence of 81
years in Kansas City, and especially dur
ing the 81 years of the existence of the
Temple of Health founded by him. In
turn those who attended were entertained
by the doctor in many and varied inter-
esting ways. In the afternoon the feature
was the inspection of the psychic art gal
lery and the explanations by DIR. Carson
of the manner in which the various beau
tiful pictures were painted.
frkz ~
1t was 81 years ago that DR.. Carson
began the practice of Vital Science
healing in Kansas City, receiving his
patients in one small private room But
ten years after he began his work here
he had founded the Temple of Health
and the College of Psychic Sarcology
to teach and practice Vital Science, the
scientific method of healing without
the use of drugs, medicines or surgery,
without employing hypnotism, mes
meriSm, myth or miracle, without os-
teopathy or Christian Science. A
philanthropist educational society was
formed called the Society for Scientific
Revelation for the study and investiga-
ton of psychic phenomena. The psy-
chic are gallery is open to the members
of this society, which now numbers
$4,000 and is behind the enterprise
for the erection of the $4,000 Tenn
pie of Light, which is to be, according
to the plans, one of the most remark
able buildings Of the world to be
erected on a commanding height in this
city. 1t is to be four stories in height,
30 feet square, with a dome 16s feet
high. The institution is to have an
endowment of several million dollars.
10000 People Restored to Health.
During DIR. Carson's residence here his
records show that $4,000 people have been
restored to health. and $4,000 people, in
Guiding friends and attendants of pa
tients, have been connected with the
Temple of Health. These people have
brought to Kansas City and left here in
the regular channels of business with
the merchants and business men of kan
sas City $4,000, 900, according to the ex-
pert estimates of men familiar with such
statistics.
1t was these facts and plans which
were brought out at the great con-
gratulatory celebration Friday after
noon and night. The latter occasion
was specially notable from the fact
that it was a tribute of personal graft
tude and esteem the part of DR..
Carson's former patients and the mem
bers of the Society for Scientific Rev
elation, of which the doctor is presi-
dent. Dr. Carson's address on this &C.
casion was one long to be remembered.
Personal Testimonies.
DR.. Carson's address was not the most
interesting feature of the occasion, how
ever, for it could not go into details
which would magnify his own achieve
ments. That was left for others to do
and they did it in a manner that con-
WINGED all present that vital science is
a wonderful instrument for curing bodily
ills, and that DR.. Carson possesses an in
applicable and very effective gift of heal
ing. 1t is only when one is discussed in
his absence that his ears burn. DR.. Car
son had to be present and listen to all
the complimentary things said about him.
If his ears did not burn, his heart must
have glowed at the enthusiastic tributes
paid to him. He modestly disclaimed the
credit for what he had done, but these
who had been cured by him insisted upon
giving him the credit and letting him
divide up any way he wanted to.
Cancer Cured 20 Years Ago.
Mrs. Cox of Mcpherson, Kan, testi-
fled in deep gratitude to the power of
DR.. Carson. which had cured her of
cancer which physicians had pronounced
incurable twenty years ago. The lady
certainly appeared sound and whole as
she faced the audience, and with deep
emotion, told how her life had been
saved. For the past thirteen years. she
said, she had been teaching and healing
in accordance with the instruction re-
ceived at the College of Psychic Sar-
cology and the Temple of Health, under
Dr. Carson.
Carried 20 DE-. Carson a Stretcher.
Quite enthusiastic. was Mrs. Lin
don of Osborne, Kan, who said she had
been carried to Dr. Carson on a
stretcher by her mothers direction and,
though she had been taking treatment
for only short time. the ravages of
rheumatism had been STAYED and she
