What Seattle Saws
About the Spirits

For some two weeks The star has
opened Its columns TO the discussion.
~po the Dead Live Again"
We have published lyrical letters

various schools OF thought and be

We have presented the orthodox
view with copious Biblical quota.
tons: the spiritualistic view: the ma.
terialistic view; We have given n lit.
tie OF esotcricism. a little of theos-
cphy; something along tho new
thought lines. and a hint or two OF
how our Adventist brethren view the
question.
We have enough letters on hand
TO continue the column for many
days. but most OF these letters are
merely repetitions and no purpose
would be served by running them.
When you read one typical Bible
lesson on this subject. prepared by
an orthodox student. you have read
about everything that 50 students
would offer. That win explain why
many Of your letters were not pub
iIshed. they merely said for the
0th time what had been published.
We were glad TO receive your let
tiers; IL was good thing for you
70 set down In writing what you be
1ieved on this vital subject; no let.
tiers were afniss. whether used or not.
but the purpose OF the forum was
To present typical arguments. give
evidence. II possible. and define the
various forms OF modern religious
thought.
This has largely been done.
From now on we desire no new
letters on this subject. unless they
come under one OF two hcads-either
relating to experiences you have
had with the spirit realm. or scien.
tific argument against life after
death.
We have had enough theory and
surmise and quotation. let us now
have some facts. IL facts there be: II
not we will consider there are no
facts.
The forum win continue for some
days presenting the best OF the let.
tiers on hand. and then viii close.
with a summary. and somcwha, OF a
loose analysis Of the worlds re-
ligious thought OF today as expressed
by the people Of Seattle In this
forum.

shrill bark or two and was off. He
went east and south of the Dyer wood

GEORGE BAXTER MEETS
WITH SERIOUS MISHAP.

Geo. Baxter was the victim of an
unfortunate and painful accident last
Sunday afternoon. Mr. Baxter had
driven out to the farm two miles
northeast to look at some cattle. He
essayed to walk along the stone wall
where a building had been torn away
and slipped. His left knee struck the
stone with sufficient force to split the
knee cap bone. Mr. Baxter hobbled
to the road where he met his father
who helped him to town. DR.. S. w.
DOOlittle took an X-ray finding the
injury as stated. Mr.. Bakers leg
was bound up and he was put to bed
where he will likely remain for two
months. 1t is possible to join the
bone by mailing but an effort will be
made to knit it by natural means.
This is difficult as the slightest move
ment is likely to renew the break.
Two years ago Mr.. Baxter fell and
broke his right leg. This break is
probably more serious than the 9TH
OF
