there's plenty to do and p.enty to
write about. There is not one single
horrible bestial thing that men and
women have the power to do. that
these unutterable swine. the bolshe-

alive and then cutting them free just
when not dead is one horrible custom.

L. Warren SeeIy's Story of
Passing of Horse Recalled
by L. o. Howard.

; is apparently nothing unusual in this.
A few ya rs ago it would have been
unworthy of comment, but it impress

fore motor vehicles had made their
appearance on the streets of Wash
ington and when the only horseless
contrivance to be seen was the old
tall bicycle. mounted usually by
long-legged. slim young man in
! bizarre uniform. Those were the
days of the old Capital Bicycle Club.
and it was at that time. at one of the
annual reunions of the club. that a
clever genius named l.. Warren Seely
read a prophecy.
He said that he awoke from a Rip
Van Wrinkle dream and found himself
on Pennsylvania avenue. The side
| walks were crowded with people; the
streets were filled with curious
vehicles moving apparently at will
and without obvious means of propul-
| sion; the street cars were doubled in
| size. and also moved mysteriously
along their tracks without even smoke
or steam. He marve,ed greatly at all
this. and then. suddenly hearing a
hum in the air. he looked up and saw
a gigantic flying machine passing
| over. followed by another and another.
Mind Was Bewildered.
/ His mind was in a whirl of be-
wilderment; the strangeness of it all
was fairly stupefying: everything
seemed unfamiliar except the dome
of the Capitol in the distance and the
portico of the Treasury behind him.
After bit his mind became more
accustomed to these new conditions,
and still there seemed something

denly: there were no horses.

any other street in, Washington at
! that time.
! Seely turned around; walked toward
the corner where the old Corcoran
! building used to stand, and there
| saw strange statue. He took it for
an unfinished equestrian statue, for
there was the horse, but there was
! no rider.
"In Memory Of HOrse.''
! There was an inscription on the
base. and when he approached he
read the following words:
"In memory of the horse, and in
! testimony of the great part which
/ this noble animal has played in the
! development of the civilization of the
| human race. Erected by the Oldest In

 The scribes were but a subdivision of the Jewish ecclesiastical hierarchy, a hierarchy which relied, after the manner of Caesar and the Pontifex Maximus, on ritual, creeds, and denun- citation, to establish and to maintain their authority. They appealed to matter, where Jesus trod it under foot, and found their argument in the ser vices of the gaoler and the executioner, where Jesus found his in healing the sick and raising the dead. Such a thing as the new gospel was unknown, almost incomprehensible, to the fisher men and plowmen, accustomed to llftin from the whips of the Roman cen- turions, or to bow to the decisions of the Jewish, doctors of the law.

neither the scarlet tunic of the centu- rion, nor the phylacteries of the Phari- sees, asked one another in astonish- ment, What manner of man is this. for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him."
 What manner of man was Jesus the Christ? The disciples should have been better able to answer the question themselves than any other human be- ings. They appear, however, never actually to have grasped the meaning of Christ Jesus until after the resur- rection, and then one, and one only of them, John, the beloved disciple, suf- ficiently to himself meet and master death. It took the resurrection, ap- parently, to impress upon these men who had seen the sick healed and the dead raised, the multitudes fed and the storm calmed, the utter unreality of matter. Yet, without @ scientific understanding of this, the mighty works of Jesus can never be repeated with any compelling influence. But the reason of the human failure to ac- cept and rise to the grandeur of the teaching of Christ Jesus, Mrs. Eddy makes perfectly clear on page S45 of science and Health. This thought oi human, material nothingness, whicf Science inculcates, enrages the carna mind and is the main cause of the carnal minds antagonism" The ricf young man went away sorrowtul, fol

Speaking With Authority

cease and the dead to come forth from the tomb.
 Caesar and Pilate were Of the earth earthly, as has been every Caesar from Augustus to Napoleon, and every Pilate from Pontius to Warren Hastings. True authority comes from unknowing everything which has ever been most real to Caesar and his pro- consuls It is born, in the human consciousness, in repudiating matter for Spiri., and deserting the footsteps of Caesar for the footsteps of the Christ, as is made absolutely clear by Mrs. Eddy, in a well known passage, on page IA of Science and Health: Entirely sepa- rate from the belief and dream of ma terial living, is the Life Divine, reveal ing spiritual understanding and the consciousness of mans dominion over the whole earth. This understanding casts out error and heals the sick. and with it you can speak as one having authority. 7
 To understand the full significance of this it must be remembered that the common people who had followed Christ Jesus from Galilee, and from

he had great possessions.
 It is just those great material pos sessions, though they may not neces- sarily be numbered in gold or silver, in houses or cattle, which obliterate the footsteps of the Christ under mems very eyes. Mankind is willing enough to surrender it's pains and it's sorrows, but it's sensual pleasures are very dear to it. It will make every excuse for them, and even argue that they are a positive necessity to it. Many of them seem harmless, but it is doubtful if any concession to matter can ever be entirely free from harm. Some par ticular surrender may be altogether beyond the understanding of the indi vidual, and it is no mans business to judge him lest he be judged himself. None the less the scientific fact re- mains that the ruler went away sor- rowing because he would not sell all that he had and give to the poor.
 What has a man to sell, to part with? Plenty of things often much more diff ficult to give up than the purple and fine linen, and the sumptuous living which held Dives as in a wise. Envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitable- ness. Many man who thanks God that he is not common thief, will steal his neighbor's character or Op- portunity without blenching. The thief risks his liberty. The slanderer risks, as he thinks, nothing, but in reality he risks his life. What shall it profit a man, Jesus demanded, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul.

BROOKS FLETCHER DELIGHTS PUPILS
 AT PHOENIX HIGH

The Fine Art os Being Somebody was the subject of a lecture delivered by Brooks Fletcher to 75O students of the Union High School yesterday morning at 1O:45 o'clock in the high school auditorium.
 Mir. Fletcher is a dramatic lecturer of national reputation and came to Phoenix Friday to fill his engag gement on the Hi-Y lyceum course. He deliv cred an address to several hundred people at the Christian church Sunday afternoon and having an open date, re- mained in this city yesterday.
 In the address to the student body yesterday, MT Fletcher made use of number of practical local illustrations which had come to him by observation during his stay here After the cOmple lion of his lecture, the students wished him to remain and the speaker sug- Sosted a round table discussion in which the students would ask ques lions. This created such enthusiasm that when the lunch period arrived, the students voted to remain, in fact, they refused to adjourn and continued the round table discussion until o'clock. Even then they received the promise rom Mir. Fletcher that he would return Liter one-half hour for lunch.
 After the lunch hour the students reconvened and listened and partici- pated in another hour and half round table discussion. After the adjourn pent at 430 o'clock the students crowded about the speaker by the score for personal interviews.
 This assembly was unprecedented flor the Union high school, Principal Tantzen stated yesterday. The entire body of students listened for practi cally hours with intense interest to the wondergul orator. In the discus sion the students asked questions of vital interest to student life, some of them touching upon the subject of re- maining at school or going to work; in regard to vocation and ayocation, the effect of amusements of various kind on school life; the choice of life partners or "pals," as the speaker called them; the disregard of scholar ship in preference to wealth, and many others.
 Yesterday will go down in the his tory of the Phoenix High School as a day to be long remembered and much good to the students must result from such able instruction. Both the faculty and students feel greatly fncSbted for he treat afforded them through the goluntary service of Brooks Fletcher.
