in them? To decide this let us ask
four questions:
Il. Are the methods and means
employed by spiritism to estab-
lish communication with the dead
such as to inspire us with conf
dence? l think any one who Is
open-minded must admit that the
methods used are not reassuring
The thought Of our beloved dead
and of their life in the other world
is one which touches our tenderest
feelings, and to which the deepest
sacredness attaches. The darkened
rooms, the table tappings, the slate
writings, the me liums, most of
them acknowledged to be fraudu-
lent, which are the means used by
spiritism, do not seem In accord
with high and holy purpose.

''The question for us Christians is
not, Can we have full certainty Of

the question is not, Is it possible for
those In the other world to COM

doubt as to this. For us Christians
the first question must be: Is it

with the dead? We believe that 1t

Rejects the Ouija Board

As for communicating with spirits
By means Of the ouija board, DR..
Manning feels that such a thought
borders on the sacrilegious.
"To US who believe in Christ" he
.ays, "the place on this earth where
Ve feel ourselves nearest to our de-
parted ones is at the altar, where at
the Eucharist we kneel before Christ,
in whose presence they also are. To
Christian believer the methods
ased by spiritualism are not such as
to create confidence. And even from
the standpoint Of natural instinct
and human feeling they must be ad-
mitted to lack dignity and fitness.
The appropriateness Of the means
employed would not, however, Of
itself be conclusive.
DR.. Manning says that the pres
ent interest in psychic matters Is
due to the intense strain under
which the world has been laboring.
Discussing the subject in a recent
sermon, he said:
I'VE are witnessing to-day a
great wave of interest in the un-
known and the occult. It Is not sur
prising that this should be the case.
The whole world has been under
tremendous nervous strain. In count
less homes there Is sorrow for those
who In their youth and strength
have been taken into the other
world. 1t Is natural that the de-
sire Tor knowledge of things be-
yond our sight should be deep and
poignant. And one Of the mani
1estations Of this desire Is the pres
ent interest In what Is known as
spiritualism.
From the Christian Viewpoint
1T IS my purpose to consider this
moject from the Christian stand
point. | wish to speak with full re-
spect for those who are sincerely
trying to find help through spirit
ualism, and especially with sympa-
my for those who have turned to
" Tor comfort in their loss and sor-
TOW. But want also to speak of
tnis matter frankly in the light of
Tie facts and In the light Of our
1ath az Christians. There are two
or three facts which It is important
LOT us to have in mind at the out
set.
In the first place, as Christians
We are absolutely certain that those
"nom death has taken out of our
S'gnt are still alive. No Christian
needs 70 be convinced Of this by the
assncies Of spiritisn, or by any
"ner agencies. We could not be
more sure of this than we are. In
we grcat words Of our creed we 'bc.

w THAT Is the attitude Of the
VA/ Church in regard to
w spiritualism? Is there
any thing incompatible
with tho established creeds in COM
municating or attempting to COM
municate with the spirits of the de-
parted?
According to the Rev. DR.. William
T. Manning, Of the famous Trinity
Church, such attempts to pierce the
unknown are not countenanced by
the Church, although no official
edict has been issued against such
practices. The Jews, on the other
hand, are distinctly forbidden by
the Old Testament to attempt it.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on the
contrary, regards spiritualism as the
greatest ally that ever has come to
the aid of Christianity and believes
that through the knowledge to be
gained from spirits of the departed
religion will become more vital.
Sir Oliver Lodge, in q recent lecture
in New York, declared there was no
antagonism between spiritualism
and religion.
Those of Christian faith, says DR..
Manning, believe that those In the
other world can communicate with
US and will do so if God so wills, but
it Is different matter when we at
tempt to summon them at our own
Will.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-04

the possibility Of such communities
ton. But we say that before
we accept any such alleged commu
nlcation as a fact it Is our duty to
satisfy ourselves that there Is suf-
f1cient ground for believing that 1t
Is fact. We recognize further that
in the other world there are both
good and evil spirits, just as there
are IN this world, fact which needs
to be taken into serious account bv
those who use the methods Of spirit
ism.
And in the third place, as Chris
tians we are in no way opposed to.
or prejudiced against, investigation
Of this subject such as that carried
on by the Society for Psychical Re-
search. But in saying this we must
remember two things. We must re-
member first that psychical research
IS not synonymous with spiritism.
Psychical research is the careful and
painstaking investigation Of psychic
phenomena and of alleged facts in
connection with this subject. Those
who engage in psychical research do
not by any means all Of them accept
the teachings Of spiritism. Psychical
research belongs to the sphere of
science rather than of religion.
"And, second, we must remember
that as Christians we in no way de-
pend for our belief in the future
life upon any results which psychical
research may, or may not, ultimately
secure. Some Christian writer's seem
disposed>now to take the position
that the results of psychical re-
search are needed to give US certain
ty of the next life, or to give us as
surance of it more trustworthy than
that which we now possess. This po-
sition is manifestly not consistent
with full faith in our Lord and in
the Gospel of His Resurrection. The
certainty Of the future life which
we have in Jesus Christ is revela-
ton from God. We who believe in
that revelation do not depend upon
the results of psychical research for
certainty or for trustworthy infor-
nation.

The Supply in America was greater this year by 156,s76 boxes than ever before in history. This is shown by figures on domestic shipments and New York receipts on foreign lemon importations which total 5,243,43S boxes for the year ending August 31, 1920, as against 5,0Sf,062 boxes for the previous twelve months.
 The increased lemon consumption averages per cent. while the census figures show the population increase to be but 1-2 per cent for the past
