ESQ, a record which up to that time
had not been equalled by any race
horse. He won $4,000 in that one
race. After hanging up this record,
Rey Ell Santa Anita won the Broad
way stakes at New York in 1905,
when he was in his 14th years, and
he clipped off some of the fastest
time ever made on the famous race
tracks at Louisville, Memphis, St.
Louis and Little Rock.
Finally Taken Abroad.
In 1907 Richard Croker leased
him and took him abroad, where
lie attracted wide attention as the
foremost American race horse and
most famous sire of his day. Re-
turning to Santa Anita rancho, he
remained at home until 1915 when
the directors of the Panama-Pacific
International exposition prevailed
upon Mrs. Baldwin to exhibit him
at San Francisco There, in his oath
year, he won first prize in his class
and was judged as the senior champ
ion thoroughbred stallion in compe-
tition with horses of his kind from
all parts of the world, again demon
strating his eligibility as the finest
thoroughbred in the country.
He was active up to within an
hour of the time he died. falling a
victim of Indigestion, an American
disease which sooner or later takes
eff all those who lead too fast a
life. AS race horse he was the
most famous animal in the country,
and in common with his three dis
tinguished associates his memory is
to be kept as green as the sod on
the inhelds Of the tracks they cir
cled at such remarkable speed.

OF the Bible, for the Roman Catho.
lies have some six more books in
the Bible than the Protestants.
These are the reasons that Christi
anity has such hard shedding now
adays. because it is opposed to all
logical reasoning powers and all
logical differences.
II remember in the '70s OF seeing
Professor Leidy demonstrating the
Amoeba that he had discovered
himself in stagnant ponds around
Philadelphia. At that time we had
no such high powers of the nlic-o-
scope like 18th and 10th immersioN
lenses as detectives. This Amoeba
is the lowest form of animal life
and nothing more nor less than a
bit of protoplasmic Jelly. You can
see it shoot a prolongation of it
self and grasp little chlorophylln
plant and take it into itself or its
belly. 1t is all belly and stomach,
no matter which side the plant cell
goes in. The Amoeba is a single
cell animal and the chlorophyiln is
single plant. 1t is green and gives
the green color to all vegetation.
As the Amoeba digests it you can
see the green color fade, and then
he expels the cellular tissue left
OF it.
"The white corpuscle OF the blood
or phagocyte, or at least its func-
tons, was not well known at that
time, but it is only smaller than
the Amoeba. Its power of digest
ing pathogenic bacteria that are
also single-cell plants in fevers and
in inflammation, was not, known
then. 1t can actually be seen under
the microscope fighting the invad-
ing hosts. at the point Of infection:
If it does not conquer, then blood
poisoning may set in as, has been
shown by Metchnikoff, long after
the days of Leidy"
1T is of these lowest forms OF
animal and plant life that Ernst
Haecker has founded his theory OF
monism. Under this single prin-
ciplc of mind and matter or pro-
toplasm and chlorophyll in plant
and animal he accounts for life and
the soul. He does not speak OF it
as the mechanistic theory Of life
ii remember, for he realizes that
there is something chemical, but
somehow here is also the vital spark
of life and its processes. All this
is brought about in some way under
the laws of the, conservation OF
energy or force and the indestructi-
bility of matter and life arises
spontaneously as it were, and the
soul begins right then and there,
according to Haeckel.
No One Understands Spirit.
"Kant used to say that he did
not know how the spirit enters the
body or how it goes out and neither
does anybody else.
you remember that the church
places the time of the entering of
the spirit, or soul, or life in life at
the lime the fetus becomes. visible
or begins to show signs of move
inent in the womb, but Haeckel says
that the spirit is there from the mo-
ment the spermatazoon pierces the
ovule to make the egg. From that
time on there is life with human
soul. This is point often in courts
of law and you can see it does not
imply consciousness. The question
is how can there be soul where
there is no mind in consciousness,
or conscious mind?
"When Haeckers book, 1.-THE Rid
die of the Universe" reached Eng
land some years ago Sir Oliver
Lodge attacked it.
He could not tolerate the thought
that life was such simple process
or proposition and as to Haeckeps

Answers to the question, What
Is Church." continue to pour into
The Bee Office. from sincere Amer
lean citizens, who believe, accord
ing to their letters, that the church,
regardless Of its moral faults, is I'M
deniably the greatest institution for
good known to the modern world.
Believing that the question should
be kept open for several more weeks
for full and frank discussion by
readers of The Bee, this series will
be continued for a few Sundays to
come.
Following are few of the con-
tributions which were received dur
ing the past week:

Sunday morning a hushed stiffness
prevails only broken by the organ
softly chanting hymn, which gives
the whole atmosphere a religious
and molly air. People come in and
take their respective seats in a quiet
and reverent way. Finally the serv-
ice begins, and after the hymns and
anthem by the choir, the preacher
gives his text. At this point, though

know a man called of God has a

missing something if he does not
catch every thought. :,
This message sent by the Al
mighty God through His servant to
His children here on earth, has tor

some law of nature. 1t is the ex-

important principle which deals

Mammoth Memorial to
Four Great American
Derby Winners.

Los Angeles, Nov. 2o.-Hore rae

in some parts of the country, tut
the memory Of some Of the fastest
race horses this country has known
is to be kept fresh by Anita M.
Baldwin, noted horsewoman and
daughter of the late E. ]. Lucky"
Baldwin. At Santa Anita rancho,
near here where they were foaled
reared and developed into American
derby winners, four Of the greatest
race horses in turf annals have been
honored by the erection of mass
i've Maltese cross over the mound
which marks their resting place.
This memorial has been raised in
memory of Volante, Silver Cloud,
Emperor of Norfolk, and Rev. z.
Santa Anita, Lucky" Baldwin's
four great American derby winners.
These were the horses that came out
of the west and showed their heels to
the best three-year-olds the country
afforded IS or 20 years ago. When
they were entered in the great
American classic the eyes Of the
world were turned upon them. and
seasoned horsemen scoffed at the
idea that the west could produce a
derby winner.
Baldwin backed them with his
money and they romped down the
quarter stretch ahead of all COM
pctitors, winning more than 1000
for him in single turn around. the
track. In their time they captured
more than 100000 worth of stakes.
Rey Ell Santa Anita himself pulled
down more than $250,000 worth of
purses. At one time Baldwin was
offered $4,000 for half interest in
him. but this was refused. The
noble old stallion died at Santa
Anita rancho the other day, at the
age of % years.

Greatest World Influence.
MAN has a great moral sense, but

not, he is mere animal with strong
desires to indulge in his passions.
Moral teaching is the aim of the
church, and therefore, I think il the
greatest influence in the world for
the uplift of man in the curbing OF
his passions. :.
"Unless man can raise himself
above himself how poor thing is
man. says Shakespeare.
"The institution of the church Is

weak about it is the member. With
out the church and its influence on
the human mind, it seems to me,
there could be no high standard
of civilization, although there might
be highly cultivated people, nor
would there be any true democracy,
such as the church teaches, all be-
ing equal before one tribunal.
"Men have a natural desire to be
arrogant and any achievement OF
power stimulates and quickens its
exercise with desire to exalt him
self so that he would become an
overbearing creature if there was no
check to it such as the church, where
humility is exalted as the greater
virtue and on which it is said to
be founded"

ago, suicide there almost became a

that the papers suggested covering

Strange Mortal Visitors.
Suicide bridge" was not the
rendezvous for the world-wearied
alose, however. Strange mortals
used to frequent the place. An in
mate Of an old soldiers home in
Milwaukee was wanting to visit the
arch every time he got furlough
and there sing war songs at the top
of his voice. A demented youth
used to come down at midnight and
whistle shrill, weird tunes to the
moon. One hideous old man liked
to seek its heights with bottle Of
whiskey and there proceed to intoxi-
cate herself.
A story is told that 10 years ago,
sea lion escaped from the nearby
zoo, made his way to suicide bridge,
climbed the stairs, and reaching the
highest part of the arch, divcd into
the lagoon. He found his way into
Lake Michigan and was later seen
in the Mississippi, so it was report

In addition to the actual suicides,
there were many frustrated at
tempts, as is illustrated by the tale
of Sergt. Samuel Pincus, on duty
near the bridge for many years.

form of intuition different from
relative reasoning or something
original to the mind given US by
which we can know God? Some
thing maybe like what Schellinp
called intellectual intuition, by
which he said some great religious
teachers did know God. All / can
say is we do not hear much of in
tellectual intuition any more, it is
a little too mystic.
Still, we can get a certain grasp
on immortality in material or en-
pirical way, if we confine ourselves
to the soul like the philosophy of
monism does, or that life, soul,
matter are all from single prin-
ciple, and this / shall come to in a
minute. l certainly do not believe
in anlmism or fetishism, nor am
an atheist and believe in no God,
nor am polytheist and believe in
many.
Il am a monotheist and believe
in one. | believe in a Creator or
First Great Cause or God. I am
not pantheist and believe that God
is in everything, everywhere, al
though at times | kind of feel that
way about it. l am not a theist,
and believe in a personal God, but
| am deist and believe in God.
Hence, you see, am not a Chris
tan, for he belongs to that variety
of theism whose personal God must
be according to the Bible as re-
vealed by revelation concerning
Him. I don't know, and hence am
an agnostic.
"The Jews were theists and be-
lieved in personal God, Jehovah,
who was so personal that they car
ried him around in box and took
him into battle with them, Once
lie got out of the box, or ark of
the covenant, and they lost him for
many years. Mahomet taught a
personal God according to. revela-
ton in the Koran The Parsees of
today teach a personal God as re-
vealed to Zoroaster in the Zenda-
vesta. The Buddhists are theists
also, according to the Vedas and
the Mormons, according to Joe
Smith and the book of Norman.
They are all like Christianity, re-
vealed religions through some
teacher here on earth, and hence
are all theisms.

of that curious fourth gospel of
