IS NOT SPECULATIVE
BUT EXPERIMENTAL
Rev. Loren M. Edwards Con-
tinueS His Series on "What
is ReIigion"-It is Not Only
Trust.

Religion is not speculative merely.
il is experimental; it is not only
trusting. it is knowing; it involves not
only the head but also the heart, ii is
faith. but ii is likewise feelings; it
means belief in God, but it also means
love in God"
Continuing his series OF Sunday
night sermons on What Is Religion, p"
Rev Loren VI. Edwards, pastor of the
Methodist Memorial church, Sunday
evening addressed a large congrega-
ton. In the course OF an earnest SER
mon he stated that he had received
replies in answer, from a large num-
Der OF church members and non
church members and quoted them to
his congregation.
He said II required but a casual
reading of the new testament TO feel
the truth that religion is expected to
be subjected to the test Of experience;
more careful and protracted study but
inflames that original impression.
Consider the record of he association
between Christ and the inner group
of His disciples. We search in vain
for any set of rules which He gave
them or for formal and credal state
ments which He made them. More
than forms. more than definitions.
more than doctrines Christ desired
His disciples come to really know
Him, TO saturate themselves with His
spirit 70 feel the contagiOn of His
example. Certainly religion with the
disciples was cOmradeship with Christ
"It would seem hardly required TO
dwell upon the necessity, the value
and the Importance of experience in
a discussion of the essential features
in religion. A mere statement unsup-
ported, unelaborated. should carry the
full weight Of its imDOrtanCe In a day
when the principles laid down and
authenticated by Francis Bacon, con-
corning scientific experiment have
been applied in almost every field of
research. it's rightful place in theology
am in religion should certainly be un-
questioned Nevertheless we are con-
fronted with a strange situation. Sci
ence, philosophy, art, psychology, edu-
cation, these and other systems Of
thought and practice are making an
increasing use of what is known as
the laboratory method. The day when
clever men evolved a theory out of
their own imagination and by an array
of selected proofs foisted it upon the
world as fact, has gone. In practic-.
ally every field of investigation We
subject theories TO the acid test of
experiment before we write them
down as fact. Yet, strangely enough
there are teachers and followers of
religion who have set their prows
against the currents OF this stream
and are attempting to silence the ex-
perimental note in religion. The pass
ing of the experience meeting in the
church may be regarded in different
ways in different quarters; but the
passing of the experience in religion
must be regarded only with deep re-
greet and anxious alarm"

Electrical Effects at Exposition.

One Of the most attractive features
of the Panama-Pacifc exposition will
be the unique and brilliant lighting Of
the various buildings.
The Illumination of festival hall is
accomplished by means Of deep"
lights, placed, well beneath the door Of
the building. A battery of search
lights at the bottom Of the lighting

light through a diffusing glass; The
huge dome OF the building is thus
filed with a soft. rosy light, the source

One of the great tasks of the cleo
trical engineers was the hanging of
100, 900 jewels upon the tower Of jew
els which Is to be one of the most
spectacular lighting effects of the ex-
hibition.
These, and most of the other illumi-
and tested, and are declared to be fully
up to expectations IN brilliancy of ef-
feet.
The most important lighting feature
not yet completed Is the installation
of forty-eight scintillators on Moro
Castle, on the west wall OF the yacht
harbor. These are to be used in pro-
ducing striking lighting effects on the
clouds above the exposition site, the
fog banks hanging over the harbor.

Peter Rabbits Joke Found Out

While Peter Rabbit was telling little
Mrs. Peter all about the Joke he had
played on Sammy Jay and Blacky the
Crow, and all about the narrow escape
he had had from Reddy and Old Gran
ny Fox, there was great excitement
over by the great pile OF fallen trees
deep in the Green Forest. Sammy Jay
and Blacky were sure that somewhere
down underneath was Buster Bear fast
asleep. They few back and forth over
the great pile. peering down among the
branches and hoping that they would
catch q glimpse of Buster. All the
time they kept up a continual scream
ing and chattering as is their way.
OF course. this brought everybody
within hearing. BY the time Reddy
and Granny Fox got there Tommy Tit
there also Not long afterward Jimmy
Skunk came ambling up, and wanted
to know what all the fuss was about.
Then Sammy told how he and Blacky
had tricked Peter Rabbit into showing
them whore Buster Bear was. Sammy
told Just how he had spied on Peter
and followed him straight over to that
great pile, and he didn't seem tho least
bit ashamed Of having been a spy. He
told how Peter had peeped under the
some one there. and then how he had
run away as II in great fright.
You all know how Peter found out
about Buster and wouldn't tell" said
Sammy. II knew he couldn't keep
away very long and would pay Buster
visit the very first chance he got,
and he did. I wish you could have
seen him. He tiptoed up close and
looked under. then jumped as II scared
to death. Then he tiptoed back and
peeped under again. 1 guess he saw
Buster all right by the way he ran this
time. He won't feel so important now
that we have found out his secret"
Have you seen Buster yet?" asked
Tommy Tit. who was fitting about
among the branches Of the great pile
and peering down among them with
his bright eyes.
NO" replied Sammy. He must be
way down underneath where we cant
see him."
All the time Reddy and Granny Fox
had kept at a respectful distance, for
you know they are very crafty and
never take any chancea
why don't you go up close and look
under? Peter Rabbit did" taunted
Jimmy Skunk. who had been slowly
walking all around the great pile.
''Why don't you do it yourself?'
snapped Reddy.
IT think 1 WILL" replied Jimmy. who.
you know, isn't afraid of anybody or
anything except a terrible gun.
With this Jimmy walked straight up
to the great pile of fallen trees just
