The son born on April II, to Mr.
and Mrs Richard Ringing in New
York has been named Paul Theodore
Ringing, according to the New York
Telegram. Among other things the
New York paper says:
Cutting the grass, Whitwashing
the fence and wiping the supper dish
es are foundations that won't have
to be endured by one youngster, at
least, in order to procure the neces-
sary proverbial cents to see "the
elephant jump the fence" when
spring comes around and it is circus
time. Nor will one kid6ie ever have
to wriggle under the side of the tent
in the dark after the evening per-
formance has started in order to
watch in spellbound admiration the
wonderful feats of the beautiful lad
les whose pink tights fit them after
the fashion the wall paper fits the
wall.
Paul Theodore Ringing, born April
81, and weighs exactly seven pounds
and two ounces, probably doesn't rea-
lie as yet all the joys which are soon
to be his when the time comes that
circus day can come every day for
him if he wishes it, and every one of
the uproariously funny clowns will
sit around and do nothing but crack
their very best jokes just for his
special benifit.
Right now Paul Theodore isn't
much concerned with anything but
the wooing of Morpheus. He hasn't
found out as yet about all the ele-
plants and tigers and camels and all
the other animals in Madison Square
Garden who are waiting for their new
master to come down to view them.
Not even the arrival of his proud and
beaming young parent, Richard L.
Ringing at the Woman's Hospital
No. al West 100 street, causes him
much concern. He wasn't even inter-
tested in the floral offerings brought
by his father, but merely turned over
|nonchalently and went back to sleep.
Mr.. Ringing is most certainly in
terested in Paul Theodore, however,
and in all that concerns him. He
himself, who has had the power,
through the circus in which. he owns
a third share, to thrill millions of
kiddies the world over, is now thrill
ed in turn by single kiddie.
HE has the Ringing nose, all
right he said as he looked down at
the tiny parcel of humanity lying in

intense mental state one from another
over long distances.
Fifth-The principles here set forth
are sufficient to account for all pre-
tended communications to the end of
time, and all accounted for upon ma
tural principles. Now if one asks,
IF two people separated by great dis
tances can give or received messages,
why cannot similar messages be re-
ceived from disembodied spirits?" We
answer that we do not know any prin-
ciple in nature that forbids such an
arrangement; but we reject the doc
trine for three reasons, namely; First
Communication with disembodied
spirits is absolutely forbidden in the
Word of God. If anybody doubts that,
let him read what Paul said in III Cor.
21:4 and those prohibitions scattered
all through the old testament. People
who reverence Gods Word are salts
fled with His revelation of the future
state. Those who are not, deny His
authority and perish. Second-Have
you ever stopped to think what set Of
fools and dupes it would make Of us
to consult oracles? Have you con-
sidered what it means to turn loose
upon us thousands of disembodied
spirits which we could neither iudentify
nor shun? Do you believe that a good
God would subject us to such a tor
turing annoyance and disadvantages as
that? You may believe it, but don't.
Third-My final word is 4 challenge
Not one statement of fact has ever
come through any medium or any other
similar source which was not already
in some LIVING MIND. I gave that
challenge to a woman medium by tell
90 if she could tell me at what page
a book was opened, six times in sue
cession, no one having seen the page.
There was a simple fact which nobody
knew. That challenge gave her the
ing her that / would give her $1,000
Eva Faye with this: Tell me how
many beans I have in my right vest
pocket, l having taken the precaution
not ia have counted the beans AN that
gave her the lock-jaw. They can al
ways tell what somebody knows, but
when nobody knows they founder
around with driveal and foolish guess
es.

vel. The spirits are just as ignorant,
they were fifty years ago. They are
| living in hazy twilight, cropping
around, confused; and their memory
| is just as defective as those in Wiscon-
sin in the fifties. They have no SPLEEN
did knowledge of life and joy radiant
with spiritual power, nor any intima-
ton of sinless life victorious over
death and hell, and no knowledge of
heaven or a Savior. The chief reliance
for getting messages" still seems to
be on the old kitchen table, and Sir
| Oliver naively tells us that two tables
in his. house have been wrecked by
the spirits" l saw a table in my
fathers kitchen wrecked by Spirits"
more than sixty years ago
| So much for the remarkable revela-
TONS of this very remarkable book.
Concerning this book and all similar
pretensions there are several things to
say: First-There is a vast amount.
of fraud magic, cabinet work, trick
playing in the dark, naturalization
rf "spirits,'a etc., and no one
dupes and fools pay any attentions to
such performances as evidence of spirit
communication.
| Second-It is easy to explain many
consciousness including abnormal men,
| tai state and subconscious mental
state. Here is the realm OF dreams,
of premonitions, of the Immortality OF
memory and a hundred other kindred
states which account for very many
mysterious deliverances which appear
| on the surface to be super-human or
super natural.
| Here the novice is deceived while
the student discovers law.
Thirds.-In 1872, after very extern
sive Investigations with a very re-
markable psychic, Daniel Home, Sir
| William Crookes, the great scientist
| of London, proclaimed the discovery
that beside the physical force, which
all normal people have and which
some have in a remarkable degree,
and besides the magnetic force which
| all have in some degree and some in
phenomenal degree, there is another
| force which he called the psychic
! force" This man, Daniel Home, was
! y remarkable psychic and Mrs.
Eusapia Pallideno is perhaps the great
est living Psychic" A full account
may be found in the great treatice,
mile Flamarions, the eminent French
astronomer and student of psychic
| phenomena. This psychic force is now
recognized as purely natural endow-
ment, and is sufficient to account for
| all manipulations of tables, ouije
boards, automatic writing, etc.
Fourth-While the Psychic force"
accounts for the material exhibitions,
| it does not account for the communi-
cations of intelligence, messages in
words, etc. Here enters another law
of our own nature which is now uni
Iversally accepted as a rot'--~' -
pie. It is thought transference, and is
subdivided into mind reading, clair
Ivoyance and telepathy. Wireless tele-
pathy shows how two keys, sender and
received, adjusted alike, will instantly
| respond to the same originals. In
=, similar way, two human soul adjusted
alike by nature will be capable of
