CHINESE HARD HIT
BY INFLUENZA HERE
Figures ShotD Estate of Mind
Had No Influence.

The Department of Health, according
TO It's weskly bulletin issued yesterday,
recently received an inquiry from the
West in which II was asked whether or
not IT was true that mortality from in
huenza among the Chinese residents OF
the city had been much below that OF
the remainder Of the population.
The request was made" says the
bulletin. "as the consequence OF a state
ment at Christian Science meeting to
the effect that ence the Chinese did not
read the daily papers they could not be
frightened by the knowledge that others
had been attacked and so must have es-
capped what, in the interesting opinion OF
the lecturer. was only q state OF mind"
Influenza attacked the Chinese resi-
dents of this city In even greater pro-
portion than the rest OF the population
the bulletin continues. There are ap-
proximately 6,40G Chinese in New York
city, and 3s deaths from influenza and
20 from pneumonia occurred among
them between September II and Novem-
Der 16 last
This gives a mortality rate from in
fuenza and pneumonia OF about 9.5 per
1000 OF population for the Chinese.
while that for the city generally during
the same period was but "a per 1000
Of population"

Evidence of Growth of Interest in Sprtuasm Seen in
Great Britain by Famous Woman
War Writer.

Satan has, in all probability, more
important things to do. and at pres

does them.
We all have our pet ideas as to the
special activities Of satan. and mine
Is that he is particularly concerned
with fostering dissensions in the
church OF Cnrist. and focusing the
ecclesiastical mind on things inessen-
tial to the exclusion and detriment of
things essential.
There is evidence or the growing
interest In spiritualism throughout the
world today.
First of all It Is fostered by the
great loss OF life and personal sorrow

Secondly, the growth OF spiritual

frontiers OF the human mind and to
the breaking down Of the barriers of
science.
