Evangelist HOLSTER, on Sunday
evening gave very interesting lee

cidents Of the seance chamber, heal
ings, etc, performed by Spiritualists
under the influence of evil spirits.
Mr.. HOLSTER said that this system
is based ON the assumption that the
dead are not dead, then taking the
Bible for proof of his assertions, he
read from Rev. 1919 that the devil
and his angels were cast out OF heav-
en- and they proceed to deceive the
whole world, then John s:44 that the
devil is a liar from the beginning.
and he began his lies with which he
deceived the world with the first man
and woman upon the earth-Adam
and Eve--by telling Eve that God
lied, in saying that she would surely
die, but instead that they would be
as God, knowing good and evil and
would not surely die, and man took
up that statement Of satans and has
been proclaiming 1t ever since,
The speaker said that any person

says, just the same as Eve they

themselves.
In regard to deception the speak
er read Thes. 2:7-10 where the
Lord says the devil will perform ly-
ing wonders in order to deceive them
that are lost and the Lord permits
it. just as he permitted Saul to he
deceived, / Sam. 30: and Ahab,
l Kings 22:2O-22.
1t was pointed out that in the case
OF Saul, 1t was necessary for Samuel
to travel through the earth from RAJ
nah to Endor, distance Of fifty
miles in order to come up at Endor
for the witch, and yet strange to say
his mantle which he wore was not
torn; another point developed was
that the devil in those days knew
that the spirits must come up from
the grave but today because he has
deceived them so thoroughly he
brings them down from heaven, or
back from some sphere or place.
Any individual at any time, any
place, the speaker said, who believ-
ed their dead friends could return

the identity OF the spirit, or any way
to prove that they are not demons

pose OF deceiving them. Anyone who

HONOR WITHOUT
SWORDS"

Typhus is one of the most dread,
full OF diseases.
1t has been called by many names
-putrid fever, jail fever, but what
causes II has only In recent years
been learned.
Did you read In the papers recently
that our soldiers in Mexico are now
warned not to use Mexican bedding,
nor sleep in Mexican houses and to
avoid association with the people OF
the country? And that the soldiers
both officers and men, have had their
heads either clipped close or shaved?
This was done to make II less like
ly that they would contract certain
fever now existing in those parts.
For we now know the manner in
which typhus is communicated. 1t is
by the bites OF parasitic insects. A
few years ago 1t was supposed that
the guilty insect was the flea; but
the louise is now identified as the
agent.
Typhus Is the babe OF misery, low
civilization, poverty, ignorance.
DR.. Harry latz OF New York has
distinguished himself by his bravery
in daring to go into the heart OF the
typhus belt with vaccine or anti.
toxin developed by him. Daring,
repeat; for the man who goes where
typhus is. and remains there, takes
his life in his hands.
The Bulgarian government has rec
ognized the bravery OF DR.. Platz by
comforting on him medal OF honor,
without swords--the highest dstinc-
ton which It is possible to give

exterminated some OF his fellow men

medal with swords!

now than OF yore, We do not recog-
nize the real basis of merit.

THE AUTOMOBILE
LEARNERS

The lower price for automobiles Is
multiplying the machines and many
learners are on the road taking les
sons in driving
The most conservative citizen may
be transformed when he first gets
behind the steering wheel. Previous.
w he has demanded Jail sentences
for fast driving. But in the car he
fails to realize how fast he goes.
The process OF stopping and starting
looks difficult and he is fearful Of
stallng his engine. He IL apt to
keep going in mixup OF teams and
people when he ought to stop and
let the tangle clear up.
Many people who have ridden BIZ
cycles get certain elements OF dIiv-
ing very quickly. After they have

cellent bluff at steering a Car in

and bicycles, children and elderly
people on the streets. Only by n
miracle OF dizziness can the instruc.
tor save them.
The difficult thing is not learning
TO steer on straight track. That is
nothing. It is the quick, unconscious
shifting OF gears and changing OF
speeds and directions to get around
in towns. 1t takes time to acquire
this skill. Those who think too soon
that they have 1t, are likely 70 find
their mistake to their cost.
The position of instructor for a
garage or selling agency Is response.
BILE. The teacher needs to impress
on the learner that he Is In control
of a machine of whose power and de-
structiveness, he has little realiza'
ton. He needs to caution him when
he sees trouble ahead, and not let
him get up to his neck In tight
place. There is too much of ten
dency to place immature fellows in
this important post.

MIR. WHITRIDGE DENIES.

New York.-Presiden Whtridge, of
the Third Avenue line, has rushed a
cablegram from England denying the
claim OF the Public Service Commits
sion that he broke an agreement with
his employees, thereby precipitating the
recent street car strike. The commits
sion was an important factor in adjust
ing the strike. Before Mr.. Whitridge,
whose salary, it is stated, is 100000 a
year, began one OF his numerous va
cations in Europe, he made this refer
cnce to the commission: "ln the con-
duct of my work | have been put to
great expense and have been consider
ably delayed and hampcrcd by the ac-
tivities OF the Public Service Commits
sion"
The New York Sun jeers at this off
cial, who make big claims for eff
cheney" The editor says:
THE matter is unfortunate for Mr..
Whitridge as it now stands; for it now
appears that instead of his exercising
the function OF correcting the inaccu-
racieS of the commission hitherto so
contemporary regarded by him, it has
become the unpleasant duty of that
commission to correct the inaccuracies
OF the eminent pamphleteer and censor
of ethical conditions"

GIRL STRIKERS TERRORIZED

Detroit, Mich-A terrorizing cam
paign has been inaugurated by the po-
lice department against 1000 women
and girl cigarmakers, who have sus-
pended work at a score OF factories to
enforce higher wages and stop the prac-
tice OF contributing one cigar to the
company for every one hundred made
Under this system, the companies, who
are acting as a unit, annually secure the

organized when they struck but have
since affiliated with the Cigarmakers'
Union. Judge Codd has issued an in
junction against the strikers and all Of
icers OF trade unions who are assisting
them.
President Perkins OF the Cigar
makers International Union makes this
reference in the official journal to the
strike OF the Detroit female cigar
makers:
Stirring events have taken place in

ly. Mr. ShontS did not mention the new
union, but he made this significant state
ment:
