Warns Against Ouija

hundred dollars in bills had been

spirits of departed relatives.
There are other fads that have
surpassed the ouija board in produc-
ing insanity" says the statement Of
the California Lunacy Commission.
But the latter holds front place to-
day. We have had many commit
ments to State asylums during the
past few months on account of the
board. Before we get through we
will probably have many more.''
Three women in Los Angles were
recently confined to the asylum be-
cause Of insanity induced, doctors de-
clared, by "dabbling with the ouija-
board" and another case was reoprt-
ed from Oakland.
The ouijacmania, already become
so baneful in its consequences, fs
traced by many authorities to the in
fluence Of men of the type Of Sir
Oliver Lodge and Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, who recently came forward
with statements that they have estab-
lished communication with the dead
and claiming revelations of the high
est importance.
Evil Spirits, Say Experta
Explanations Of the manner in
which evil spirits are able to gain
possession of the knowledge which
they communicate through the medi-

ing" declared Raupert.
while many hold there is a nat
ural explanation for the messages
which the board gives, and that this
natural explanation eventually will be
discovered, others who have investi-
gated the phenomena deeply are con-
vinced that natural explanation does
not cover all the facts in the case,
but that an Independent mind of
some kind must be admitted to have
part in the transmission of messages.
In many cases there is little doubt
that the mind is that Of some sinister

Cardinal Gibbons Nav
Pay Visit to the Pope

his congregation, through residen
clergymen.
Washington, April 23.-There is a
possibility that Cardinal Gibbons will
visit Rome and pay his respects to
the Pope during the coming summer.
The trip would be in compliance with
a recent ruling of the Church direct
ing prelates to visit the Holy See at
least once in each five years.
When asked II he contemplated
such a journey, the Cardinal admitted
the possibility of it.
Nothing definite has been decided
one way or the other" he said.
According to members Of the Car
dinal's household, the new order spe-
cides that prelates shall go to Rome
during the year 1920. A VISIT In this
year would fulfill the obligation of a
flve.year period ending at the close Of
1925. They have learned that Car
dinal O'Connell, Of Boston. already
has signifed his intention of making
the trip.
1t was thought probable, however,
that Cardinal Gibbons, for various
reasons, would not be expected to go.
One reason was his advanced age in
view Of 80 long journey. It was
felt, too, that the decision would be
left to the Cardinals own wishes.
In view of the present position of
America in world affairs, it is pos
sible that such a visit might have q
bearing on steps toward safeguarding
international peace. In view also Of
the dependence the Pope is known to
place in the Cardinals views of con-
ditions in America, the project of a
visit to Rome was mentioned yester-
day by several prominent Catholics in
connection with the Cardinals sigma
ture to a memorial requesting the
president to resubmit the peace
treaty to the senate.
1t was believed that the Cardinal
would obtain great pleasure from an
other VISIT to Rome Like every other
Cardinal, Cardinal Gibbons has titu-

Citizenship is the relationship of
an individual to his government; re-
ligion is the relation of an individual
to his God, says a writer in Golfers
magazine for April.
So long as no church undertakes
to enter politics, our politics should
never undertake to enter into the A.
fairs of any church. The history Of
the world will disclose that disaster
usually has attended the invader.
There is less chance pow than ever
that any church will undertake to
extend it's power into American poll
tics. Therefore foolish indeed are
such petty onslaughts as that na1s,
in New York state by some unheard
Of society which has misappropriatod
the name of Washington and has a.
tackled the Catholics and the Knights
Of Columbus.
The folly Is seen to loom even
larger when sensible Americans real
ize that the Catholic Church is a
good deal of bulwark of good citd-
zeaship at time when we want men
and women with high sense of their
obligations. We do not know how to
name another organization which has
stood so long in firm defense against
flabby morals and doctrines of social
fad and folly. The task of the agita-
tor of mems rights is easy; the task
of teacher of restraint and service
is more difficult. The Catholic
Church undertakes the more difficult
task with a great organization and
veteran skill. Its Knights Of Colum-
bus did an efficient and generous
war work. While any church, what
ever its beliefs, holds such a record,
and while it refrains from a policy of
interference in our political life,
those who attack it openly or covert
ly with whispered slander of the kind
we all know attack America and at
tack US, whether we be annostic,
Jew, Catholic or Protestant. It is
peculiarly the duty and the privilege
of those who are not Catholics to un-
dertake the suppression of those who
would launch reckless attacks against
those who are.

From Nazareth to Calvary and the
tomb-from the birth of Christ to His

but now it is embellished with altar
and paintings. A stone from Nazareth
is set in the circle beneath the altar.

Mother and st. Joseph, this rude home
consisted of but one room, but there

ECHOES FROM THE BULGIN MEETINGS

| Church, taught a class in the Sunday
School, and later became superinten-
dent of the Sunday School. But on
leaving the East in 1896, he left his
home Christian training behind, and
for good many years his Sundays
were put up in in saloons and clubs,
where Christ's name was only used as
a method Of emphasizing statement,
or in ridiculing the church.
/ never have, nor never will forget
conversation some IA years ago
with a dear lady of this community,
Mrs. w. G. King, who asked me what
church I belonged to, and told her
the big one, the one which had the
largest congregation and never passed
the collection plate. That statement
was very untrue, for the church that
l claimed to- belong to at that time
probably collected more from me than
it has has cost to build all the churches
of Kennewick.
However, 1 later admitted to Mrs.
King that / had, at one time, been a
member of the church and she made
the remark that / would some time
be back in the church, and am happy
to state that that time is soon to ar
rive.
/ only mention this incident in my
life to demonstrate my argument, that
while many of those whose early train
ing was received in the church go
wrong, and get away from it, it is my
candid belief that 80 per cent of them
sooner or later return to the church.
One of the happiest events of my
life was when my own two children
gave their hearts to God, and my only
regret is that my life has not been
such that would have led them to do
so long ago.
One appeal / wish to make to all
the young converts, whether they be
young or old, and no matter what
church they belong to, let us all get
together and work for Christ, whom
we have chosen for our Saviour.
In doing this we may not be able to
drive the devil out of Kennewick, but
we can certainly drive him into cor
ner where he will be hard to find.

The writer of this article was one
of perhaps many that was directly
opposed to bringing DR.. Bulgin and
company to our city at this time,
namely for two reasons, viz:
First; I felt that if our people had
any money to spare it should go to the
church they were Connected with to
pay the pastors back salary that he
might give himself and family that
which they were justly entitled to.
Second; felt that as whole Ken
newick and it's people were very good
type of people and with the present
conditions staring us in the face that
it behooved every man and woman to
keep what little money we had with
cur home people. / had the pleasure
of hearing five of DR.. Bulgin's SER
mons and can truthfully say that /
am unable to place a money value on
the good derived from them, for they
taught me the difference between be-
ing simply good law abiding citizen
and getting right with both God and
man.
The writer is only one among many
that has been benefited by the work
of this great man and cannot help
but feel that his short stay with us
is going to be a great benefit to every
man, woman and child in our COM
munity and the money spent in its
behalf will come back to us ten fold
in many ways.
The work done by Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis for the children and the great
chorus is pleasant memory long to
be remembered, and every father and
mother who had the fortune Of having
their sons or daughters under their
guidance should use every power at
their command to help keep the Sun
Shine boys and girls together as well
as the chorus, as they are two organ
izations that any community may well
be proud of.

So many different opinions have
been advanced as to the effect Of the
Bulgin Evangelistic Meetings have
upon the community that the writer
feels justified in adding one more to
the many already advanced.
The effect. that it has already had
| is quite evident when we note that
nearly 500 in the community have
promised to accept Jesus Christ as
their personal Saviour. What effect
it will have in the future, in. the opin-
ion of the writer, rests largely with
churches of the community. Failure
upon their part to provide entertain
ment and amusement Of good, pure,
wholesome nature will probably re-
suit in great many of them, sooner
or later, returning to worldly pleas
ures.
On the other hand, if such enter
tainment and amusement are provided
and the older members of the church
become interested in the new converts
and keep them busy, in church work
there is no doubt but what nearly, II
not all, will keep the vows they nave

For over two centuries the Channel

a reward for the loyalty of the island

channel by a privateer of Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re.
