New York has been the scene of many

that Of PriO Murshid lnayat Khan, noted
Indian mystic, musician, poet, philoso-

preach a united religion for all mankind
and to tell men how to make it a reality,
and thereby gain The Kingdom, which
he insists is just as practically "athand"
today as in Biblical times.
For the Mursbid is convinced that one

the religious differences, rivalries and
hatreds of mankind.

GOOD IN ALL RELIGIONS.
The mystic is convinced that there is
much good and much that is non-essen-
tiaI in all religion. The problem, he sub
mits, is to get rid Of sect convictions. He
would like to see all differences between
church organizations and cIeeds, every
where wiped out--in the minds of the
worshippers--aCd each devotee Of each,
attending all churches alike and feeling
free to do so.
But J wouldn't do away with a single

ligious movements. y he says, They all
add to the beauty and variety Of life.
Uniformity makes for monotony. With
one church for all, it would be like a il uni.

all. He believes that the big object Of

his way back to his Creator and he be-
lieves this can be done in any one Of the
religions now current in mems belief.

JUDGE MYERS PRESENTS INTERESTING
PROGRAM ON EARLY EXPEDITIONS BY
DE ANA THROUGH IMPERIAL VALLEY

Presenting one of the most inter
esting programs ever gwen before
local club women, Judge z. y.
Myers of Calipatria yesterday spoke
before the history section of the Wo-
man. S Ten Thousand club at their
regular meeting at the club house.
The romance of Imperial Valley
history, felt by many but actually
known by few, became a reality as
Judge Myers told of the explora-
tions and adventures Of the Spanish
explorer, De Anza, and his sompan-
ions who first crossed Imperial Val
ley in IVA.
Judge Myers was introduced by
Mrs. T. ID. Jacobs, who was in charge
of the days program. Immediately
preceding the address by the judge,
talk in which she touched upon the
historical period between the last
lesson on California history and
that to be covered by Judge Myers.
Accompanied by a party of SO
soldiers, General De ANA left Sc
nora, Mexico, in 1873, having been
commissioned to find an overland
route to San Gabriel and other Cali
fornia settlements held by the Span
ish. The sending of colonists and
supplies by sea from Spanish bases
in Mexico had proven both hazard
Gus and expensive. But the $50
mile desert as Imperial Valley was
then called, must be conquered be-
fore an overland route could be eS-
tablished.
Gaining the friendship of the
Yuma Indians and their powerful
chief, Palma, De ANA and his party
were helped to cross the Colorado,
which presented one of the many OBJ
stacles. Without the assistance and
friendship of the Indians, this would
have been impossible.
The expedition made one attempt
to cross through the sand hills, but
returned TO the river without hav-
ing succeeded in finding a passage
through the treacherous sands. A
second attempt, which followed the
river more closely lead to success.
= The first De ANA expedition,
which suffered many hardships,
crossed to the vicinity of the north
side of Mount Signal, thence in the
direction of what is now Plaster
City to Coyote creek CANYON, an
opening in the Santa Rosa noun
taIns. The general route from that
point was to the base of Lookout
mountain and into tie Hemet Val
ley, thence on to Riverside and at
last TO San Gabriel.
