They do things over here. and appeals to them are not in vain"
 Educations Poor
 To stress before the League of Women Voters these things and the fact that not more than one out of every 100 women Tn India can read and write; how poor are Hindoo school facilities. and how Birming- ham can help, will be pr. Joshi's la Dor of the afternoon
 Tonight he speaks at St. Marys church.
 That not one woman in Blrming- ham may miss the opportunity of hearing pr. Joshi, Mrs. Johnston Is urging upon the women that the Hill- man auditorium be packed. Mem bers of the federation are especially invited.
 Men also are asked.

 Rig Meeting
 The league program is to be a double eader, since the meeting will be preceded by the luncheon of the executive board at 12;45 o'clock. Also on the program will be Supt. N. R. Baker, who will discuss the ex- 1 tremely interesting subject of county education.
 In the hour that pr. Joshi spent with us, many and various were the delightful things he talked about It ! Is possible that he Is to come to the 1 University of Nebraska as dean of English there for a year. while the present head of that department goes to India to supply his place. Asked concerning the occult. he said:
 What to you seem miraculous things are to us natural. There is a doubt in my mind that ever these secrets will be given to other nations. One very learned American has de- olared that modern theosophy is just now leading to a point where the Hindoos left off 5000 years ago. Serve Without Pay T. Their so-called occult powers the natives use for religious good, and it Is against their religion to accept pay for them. As an instance of how far this reaches. religious mendi- l cant who heard that the son of the ! king was dying, that he had only 2l hours to live, and that all modet n 1 medical aid had failed, came to the palace gate asking if he might try ! his hand He was given permission vanished into the forest, and returned | with portion of herbs over which he Amurmured some words. Five mia- Gtes after the first dose, the young prince opened his eyes; at the second f. dose, he arose and walked around Strange? Yes-and true. But the | beggar would not take pay" Dr. Joshi smiled. fThe world has two great hypnotist bodies. One Is ours. The other is the American ! girl en masser'

 When our family came to Americ, we had not the address Of Mrs Car penter, but after l had finishe' strenuous postgraduate work, l wen for a short rest to Atlantic City One afternoon as 1 was sitting b, the beach, an American girl ap preached me, asking if l was In dian, and queried whether I knev Mrs. Carpenter I said I had hear, of her. At that she gave me Mrs Carpenters address and disappeared Afterwards l and my family resided with Mrs. Carpenter for IS months She insisted upon our staying witt her, but for it would receive not cent of pay.
