MEN LIVE ON SURFACE"
BABA BHARATI STATES
Preacher from India Urges Con-
Sideration of Existence

Baba Bharati, who has returned
from India and settled in Los Angeles,
has resumed his Sunday lectures in
Blanchard hall. Last night his subject
was do We Liver" and he handled
it to the appreciation of large audi
ence. He said. in part:
'T greet this especial privilege once
again to talk to souls from out my
soul. 1t is a very proud privilege for
any man to talk of the highest object
of existence to other souls. Soul-talk
is it's own reward The man who talks
Of things spiritual from his very soul
is rewarded by the vibrations OF that
soul, and the reward is made double
when the souls he is talking to get
the blessings of the soul-vibratIons'
The subject of this evening has been
put in a little mystifying form-'Do
We Live? Queer, isn't it? Why
anyone would say, we do live; what
is the need of the question then"
"If you will all mediate on the ques-
ton a little you will find that most
of US in this age live a very surface
ufe-liVe, what L may say, on the skin
of life. We live not knowing what
life really is; we live almost in utter
blindness of the meaning of the life
that we live. Most of us have no time
in the turmoil of the world. to study
that life, obtain knowledge OF 1t In
order to live in consonance the inner
laws of life. We do not think nor
have time to think whether there is
a deeper life than that we generally
live, a worthier life, more joyous
life-whether there is a life within us
that will pale all the lights and stale
all the delights of this life that we
live on the surface.

mo man is large souled enough to
be absolutely impartial in his sympa-
thies," said the Rev. Mr.. Hodgin OF
the First Unitarian church at yester-
day mornings service. His interest
in those he knows is necessarily more
intense than in those he does not know.
His desire to further the interests OF
his friends will cause him to uncon-
sciously throw what public influence ne
has in their. favor to the neglect Oh
the interests of the vague and un-
known public. In our minds and hearts
we are all the time unconsciously rob-
hing the unknown mass for the sake
of the clearly defined few that we DO
know.
Louis XIV surrounded himself with
artists and literary men. He settled
pensions and annuities upon them, ana
built magnificent institutions for their
benefit and said to an admiring world,
Gee what a patron of learning and
refinement 1 am His interest in these
desirable things was genuine, no doubt:
Rut in ministering to these men OF

MEN co WRONG BECAUSE
STANDARDS ARE VICIOUS
ReynoId Blight Says Remedy for
Existing Evil Is Revolution
in Social Ideals

Young men go wrong because our
social, political and commercial stand
ards are vicious" declared Reynold
E. Blight, minister of the Los Angeles
Fellowship, yesterday morning. Our
states prisons are full of young men,
and a well known criminologist has es-
timated that at least 250,000 persons in
this country are systematically en-
gagged in crime as a business. The
total embezzlements of convicted per-
sons in the United States last year
reached the appalling sum of S147 O0O,-
O00 Everyone COnVerSant with busl-
ness knows that the unconvicted law
breakers far outnumber the convicted
felons. Graft in politics, usury in
finance, cupidity in the professions,
fraud in business, dishonor and cor
driven to the plight of the cynical
Diogenes.
"And yet childhood is the time of
fairies, boyhood the time Of heroes and
hero-worship, young manhood the time
of dreams and ideals. What changes
the idealistic young man into the un-
scrupulous lawyer or the grasping busi-
ness man? The false standards and
ideals of society The young knight of
the home and schoolroom enters the
world of business to be rudely awak-
eneQ to a sense OF the utter SOIuluLGSS
of things. His principles are laughed
at, his scruples ridiculed. The teach
ings of his youth are discredited. His
moral enthusiasms are held in con-
tempt. He discovers that he must play
the game as it is played or be crushed.
If he is bungling and unlucky he be
comes criminal. If he is cunning and
fortunate he keeps out of the tolls of
the law, amasses wealth, wins sue
cess, but at the sacrifice of his visions
and his character. He becomes hard
and cynical. This is all too frequently
true of the successful business man.
"What is the remedy? A revolution
in social ideals! Honor and emulation
must be withheld from the crooked
business man even though he count his
dollars by millions and though his
power be unlimited. A man who
gathers great wealth by exploitation
or dishonest methods, who takes unfair
advantage of the weakness or necessity
of his fellows, who drives hard bar
gains and grinds the face of poverty
should be ostracised and held up to
public execration. In short, the en-
phasis must be placed on character and
social service, instead of on cunning
and the mere possession of money, as
at the present time"

of men require some cessation from
the everlasting drive.
1.-The third reason for closing the
Sunday theater is that it does not be-
long to the Sunday and has no more
right to be open than the department
store or the butcher shop.
MANS CHARACTER nIPERILED
Sunday frivolity not only breaks
down ideals of nation, but it ruth
lessly destroys the character of the
individual citizen. 1t breaks down the
Sunday as a worship day.
"I am informed that men are eX-
pected to work on the Los Angeles
aoueduct on Sunday. The steam
shovel men, however, peremptorily re-
fuse to work except in emergencies. 1
appeal to the city authorities in the
interests of those overworked laborers,
who are being debauched in body and
soul, to stop these slaVish eXactions
of cruel taskmasters. 1t is ancient
Fgyptian bondage repeated in the
twentieth century in Los Angeles. 1t
is requiring these men to make bricks
without straw Men do more work in
six days if they have completely rest
ed on one day. Men who own valuable
Norman horses rest them one day in
seven. Isn't a man worth as much as
a horse?"%

centuries of progress. AS he had the
political machinery Of his time so or
ganized that he could lay tribute on
the people to almost any extent so
the Industrial machinery of our time

back to our time and declare 1t bar

sistently for the democratizing of the

democratizing of the political world.
Even if the men in whom such power
is concentrated were the wisest and
noblest men it. would be inimical to
both them and the public. The new
religion, the religion Of democracy,
does not recognize the concentration
of power even In a Deity. We do not
recognize God as a segregated individ-
