BUDDHISM FOREIGN TOPIC
Gives Interesting Lesson on Spiritual
Growth Before Missionary
Social Union.

In the second of the series of lee
lures under the auspices of the Mis-
sionary Social union at Broadway
Presbyterian church, yesterday after
noon, Mrs. D. B. Wells took as the
bible study theme, Growth Through
Correspondence With Elementals."
She took the growth of baby as her
basis for illustrating spiritual growth
and said that to live the baby must
have air which in the spiritual growth
is faith. The baby must have food
milk which to the Christian is the
word of God. She said that one must
distinguish between sour and sweet
milk and likened the creeds of today
to sour milk and unfit for spiritual
growth. There must be sunshine that
the child may grow, which to the
Christian is the practice of the pres
elce of God-there must always be
with one His presence and one should
breath prayer as one breaths air.
Exercise is the last of the elementals.
A child tied in it's chair will not grow,
to his pew-he must be up and doing
and put into practice the things that
are taught In the church.
BUDDHISM FOREIGN TOPIC.
Buddhism was taken by Mrs Wells
for the foreign topic to be studied.
and she said that this creed is just a
step higher than Hinduism which was
studied the day before. 1t had it's
origin about 1000 years before Christ
and claims the largest number of ad-
herents of any known faith She said
| ii was similar only to Christianity in
ceremony and millinery" meaning
form of service and manner of cloth
ing of priests. She said that its rise
was due to a protest against Hindu
ism. a protest against the divorcing
of religion and morality as in Hindu
ism 1t was founded by Buddha and
was an effort to put down caste. The
founders objected to the degraded
state of women as practiced by Hindu
ism. They claimed that they were
bound down by creed and sought a
means of rising from this bondage
| Buddhism means complete annihila-
ton of self The way to seek com
plete happiness is TO kill all desire
for from desire comes all sorrow, and
in the end nonexisience. II is diamet
really opposite to Christianity in
that Christianity teaches that there
is life in the hereafter-Buddhism
teaches there is no God.
WHAT To DO FOR IMMIGRANT.
The home mission topic was what
to Do for the Immigrant" and Mrs.
Wells gave a most interesting talk on
this subject She said that 100000
missionaries go TO Europe every year
who are not sent as missionaries, and
who prejudice the foreign countries
against this nation. She spoke of
America as the pattern of the world
and said that the people of this ma
ton must put before the immigrant
better ideals. that they must be Chris
tanned. She said that we cannot
put the immigrant in the ditch and
sit on him without staying there our
selves, therefore they must be lifted

EDWIN HAWLEY TO HAVE
MARRIED MISS CAMERON

New York, Feb. 14.-Whetner
Miss Margaret Cameron, protege of
the late Edwin Hawley, found a third
will making her chief beneficiary, she
received from the railway millionaire
gifts in gems and stocks which make
her comfortably rich for life.
Retainers at the Hawley estate at
Babylon, L. l., where Miss Cameron
still reigns supreme, declared today
that he had promised to marry his
youthful ward and that at the time
of his death she was looking forward
to her honeymoon. A former house
keeper for Hawley said today:
1T was no secret that Mr.. Hawley
had promised to marry Miss Gamer
on. / heard him tell her so myself.
'Mr. Hawley had a fine picture of
Miss Cameron which he took back
and forth with him as he changed
from his town house to the country
house and back again. The picture
always hung in his room. 1t was moth
ing uncommon to hear Mr.. Hawley
talking silly lovers talk to Miss
( Cameron and she to him. They did
not appear to care who heard them.
"Mr. Hawley made Miss Cameron
magnificent presents and she had a
1 beautiful wardrobe. She had her
own bank account, and it was re-
ported that Mr.. Hawley had made
investments for her that turned out
handsomely.
Whether Mr.. Hawley left a will
o. not, Miss Cameron is doubtless
we'll provided for. She and the JAP
arese butler had Mr.. Hawley's con-
fdence. He is supposed to be worth
S25, 900 or $4,000 earned by tips
on the market given him by Mr.
Hawley."
Miss Cameron still remains barri-
Caded in the dead railroad magnate's
summer home at Babylon and re
/ fuses to leave the place until she Il
assured that the Hawley heirs viii
consent to her retaining possession
of it,
All the servants in the house give
( allegiance to Miss Cameron. whom
! they have long known as mistress oi
