markedly as now, when the so-calle,
better class pay tithes Of all they pos
sess, with one hand, and almost liter
ally devour widows houses for sor
did pelf, with the other. Lavlshly they
give, and with even greater abundance,
they rob the helpless. Never before
has the church chung to the letter and
lost the spirit Of the great Teacher
as now. True It is that its devo' ees
compass sea and land to make pro
selytes, but having secured them they
cannot elevate them to a plane of
spirituality they know nothing OF
themselves. They indeed civilize them
according TO the standards of the
times, but having civilized them we
are obliged to place extra bolts on
our doors and windows against a
thievish propensity they have caught
from our high civilization. True it is
we, through our missionaries, produce
the great awakening in india and
China and relegate to limbo the child
like simplicity and crude methods of
these ancient peoples, but only to
convert them to our methods of skin
ming the under dog, and to our literal
istic and materialistic religion, that
in its conformity to the prevailing
type of civilization presents to the
world the clearest type of artificiality
and of downright phariseeism the
world has ever witnessed Indeed we
make these proselytes tenfold more
the children of the devil than we our
selves are.
Just at this time there are arising
individuals, and under them move
ments, to again call the attention of
the race to ideal things and higher
type of life, such as Theosophy, Divine
Christian Science and the
New Thought movement. All of these
in one way or another are disparaging
Matter as a dominant force, and none
in a more pronounced way than is
Christian Science. 1t may have an
awkward way, and one confusing to
the uninitiated, in expressing it's idea,
but it's aim is in the right direction,
and, in the almost phenomenal sue
cess it is meeting with, it is greatly
aiding in restoring the balance so long
lost. The writer is not an avowed
Christian Scientist, but he is on the
side of the Spirit in this issue, and so
appreciates any effort to restore
spiritual predominsnce to the world.
There ought not to be any necessity
for new organizations to consummate
this issue, but when the old establish
ed churches have become crystalized
in doctrine and life, and so have be-
come joined to their idols, like Eph-
rain of old, there seems to be no
other practical way of reaching the
end so much needed.
In a future paper the writer may
discuss the subject, Matter" alb

the correctness or falsity of current
views will be brought out

Wendell Phillips Dedge relates in the

growing out Of the first meeting OF
Robert Mantell with Sir Henry Irving

the youthful Romeo. aud one advised
that he should make way for ''the

Irving prepared special afternoon
performance in the Lyceum, to which
all the players IN London were invited
After it was over Mantell went back
Of the stage. and Irving asked him how

with their interesting family of 40
singers, dancers and comedians will
hold high jinks' for an engagement
of one night. OF course you've heard
about them everybody has, at least
people who read newspapers. Millions
of people laugh at Bud Fishers clever
cartoons every day, so you can imagine
seeing the min real life-flesh and
blood--is a great deal funnier than
seeing them in print. Especially so
because there is a chorus of 25 un-
usually pretty girls to give color to
the entertainment, not forgetting as
sociate comedians and singers and a
car load of gorgeous scenery All in
all. Mutt and Jeff is quite the best
musical comedy of the year. Facts
and figures prove this assertion, The

the engagement of Mutt and Jeff:
the record business of the season at
the Manhattan Opera House, New
York City was also done with Mutt
and Jeff" as the attraction and the
same thing occurred at the West End
Theatre in Harlem You will under
stand by that that Mutt and Jeff"
is not essentially a road show, it's
city show in every sense of the word
1t is simply a cyclone of good, clean,
healthy laughter with enhancing
music to give one chance to get his
breath between laughs. This is the
sort of entertainment tired working
people need to refresh their mind for
another day of toll. All classes of
people have approved it as is shown
by the remarkable business the play
is doing from the Atlantic to the Pa
cilic and from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico. 1t is the real financial and
artistic musical comedy hit of the cur
rent season, therefore you must see
it when it comes to the Grand Seats

never played to empty seats so this
advice to get seats EARLY is justified
