4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1897 HOW EIGHT PEOPLE PREACHED FRATERN ITY 70 TWO BILLIONS Crusading Theosophists Tell of the Faith Which Con- siders the Beliefs FIRST PAID A VISIT TO SAN QUENTIN. Convicts Told That Their Salvation Rests With Themselves. CRUSADERS BANQUETED THE POOR. Over Two Hundred Men Fed Lectured on the Power Universal Love and of Circling the globe on a mission of love— that is what the Theosophical crusaders are doing. They have lessons to teach of brotherhood, toleration and peace as con- ceived by the members of the Theosophi- cal Society, and they aro seeking hearers in the highways and byways. They claim to have accomplished on their journey, which is nearing completion, things whi will accrue to the great good of manki They have hopeful projects for the future h are rich in fraternal charity. it was & strange audience that these | eminent exponents of the mystic faith ad- dressed yesterdsy, yet not strange for these travelers who have Jabored much among the lowly. True to the custom which Mrs. Katherine A. Tingley, leader of the theosophical movement throughout the world, has observed on her journey, she and her party spent yesterday after- noon at San Quentin, Nearly 1000 prisoners attended the meet- ing held within the walls, Dr. Griffiths of this City presided and all the members of the crusading party made brief addresses, Mrs. Tineley, who has had large ex- perience in addressing such_gatherings, made an affecting aadress. She spoke of the universal liability of menkind to err, and told the men that they had it in themselves, by exercise of will-power and self-control, to become better men. At the conclusion of her addr Mrs, Tingley sald that she would probably per- manently reside in California soon, and | then she hoped to make frequent visits to the prizon. E. T. Hargrove spoke of the power which each man had within himself to ignore his surroundings and be in heavea or i hell as the mind willed. He de: clared that men live only in the mind and even within prison walls by the con- centration of the mind upon things noble and beautiful a light of joy counld be let | in upon their lives. Other speakers followed in a similar strain and from the apparent interest shown by the audience, the crusaders con- sidered the meeting a most successful one. i St CROWDS IN THIS CITY. Ten-Minute Addresses by Several of the Crusaders. The demonstration at Odd Fellows’ Hall inthe evening was an event which will always be a landmark in the society’s his- tory on this coast. The hall was crowded to the doors and every available nook was fllled with extra chairs. extra accommodations many were turned away who were unable to obtain standing room. The only attempt at decoration was an arrangement of flags of numerous nations at the rear of the stage and a ban- ner suspended from the speakers’ stana bearing the words “Truth, Light, Liberty for discouraged humanity.” Glaude Wright on Modern Theosophy. E. B. Rambo, treasurer of the local branch, alter a brief speech of welcome to the crusaders, who he declared were now mearly home from the world-wide wandering, introduced Clande Xalls Wright, president of the New York Theo- sopbical Society. ‘It is necessary in an advanced gather- ing of this kind,” he said, *‘that what we mean by theosophy should be generally understood. if you look around the world in the present day you will find vast numbers of people differing on questions of religion and daily life. Weare not as narrow as we were a few years ago, but we have not yet realized the true philosophy. “I suppose in this audience to-night there are represented 100 different sects. I think 1 could show you that none of you are really standing upon firm ground. Now is it not a fact that each one of these sects is an insult to the remainder? If I tell you this of Methodists you who are not Methodists will smile. IfI say it of Baptists you who are not Baptists will smile, but what if I go over all the sects and mention each of them? What then? *‘Let us suppose you are a little more enlightened or broadened and will admit that every Christian sect will see salva- tion. What of the vast hordes of other re- ligions? What of the Baddhists and the Brahmins? If you say they are all lost I say it is not brotherly, and if you will be- lieve me it is unchristian. “Is there any man here who can answer the momentous question, Why am I here atall? Can any man say positively that he is not living in & dream ? ““We of the Theosophical-Boeiety are not atell inclined to say this thing is true or that thing is true, but we are willing to consider all things. When you get hold of any new thing we are willing to listen to it, but all we ask of you is that you listen with tolerance to the opinions which others advance,” Hargrove Speaks For Reincatnation. President Hargrove spoke of “Reincar- nation.” “Before dealing with my sub- ject to-night,” he =aid, *T wish it gis- tinctly understood that the Theosophical Bociety, as ‘such, has no beliefs. Bome- times theosophy is said to be a system of atheism, which is absurd. Sometimes it is said to be a kind of spiritualism, which is not the case. Theosophy is as old as man himself, and no matter how far you * will go back in history there you will find theosophy being studied. It is believed in to-day by two-thirds of the human race. The speaker then spoke of his individual belief that the soul is reincarnated after the death of the body. “At first sight,” he said, “this’ view may be strange to many, and foolish peo- ple are apt to scoff at things which, they do not understand, and especially with any new thing which they do not under- stand. Reincarnation can be proved by ;imply carefully examining the known acts. ““There is no disputing the fact that the world looked at inexplicably is a strange chaos, We seem to see injustice every- where. Such & well-known saying as ‘The sins of the father are visited upon % nd, In spite of the | of All and Exacts Only Tolerance. | the child,” must appall and strike with | wonder the thinking man. | . “Most people here will believe in the | immortality of the soul. According to all | great teachess the soul is the ego, the real | man, using the corporal body. You, per- | baps, believe that it is immortal in the | fature only. | “Not ii you take the teachingsof the old | philosophers. They teach that it extends “iunlehn:w y into the past as well as the | futu e soul must have its daytime of ac- tivity and its time of rest; just as | the day follows the night time and an- other day comes again, so after death, which is the night time of the soul, must | come another day. What Is the object of life if it is not to learn how to live? Can this in fifty or in a bundred ? We have countless experiences b we cannot profit by, We want one more chance, and we will have it—chance after chance. * “I ask you to follow me one step fur- ther—man is his own master. Is not that | 8 lesson which humanity to-day needs to learn? Have we not been toolong told | that man is a miserable creaturs born to | sin? Instead oi being told that man is a | little lower than the animals, who at least | have the privilege of being born innocent, | we hold that man has a hope of rising by | his own efforts to greater and higher | things, where he may not only be a joy to | himself, but a benefit 1o his fellows.” | What the Grusade Has Accomplished. H. G. Patterson, president of the Brook- Iyn Theosophical Society, spoke of the | work of the crusade. ‘*After leaving Great Britain,” he saia, “we went through Eurove, to Africa india, Australia, Samoa and the Sand- wich Islands. One of the things we saw | was a great amount of suffering every- | where. We have it here, but we have in a form that bears no comparison to what it is elsewhere. We found also a great | amount of disbelief. Why? | “Because there is a great influx of light allows us to see things as we never them before. “We saw more than this. Wherever we went, whether the people had dark or white skins, whether they wore one gar- ment or such clothing as we are accus- tomed to, we found the same people with | the same hopes and aspirations. We found that there is only one humanity. “The crusade has, I believe, done its | part in the history of the world. “The crusaders going about with no | dogma to teach bave pointed out & com- mon platform upon which these little | clusters of men can stand together for a common end. The future is coming to us. ‘We cannot eee it in its glory, but we feel | confident that it will transcend anything | we can ever conceive.”” | “A Blending of All Religions.” Rev. W. Wilhams of England spoke of “Brotherly Love.” He smd, in part: “The guestion will present itself to many, ‘Why is an English minister seen on & Theosophist platform?’ My clerical | brethren may consider that by so doing I am barred and banned from the church | and am something of a heretic. “This may be, but yet I am willing to accept truths wherever I may find them that will tend to the uplifting of the hu- | man race and the realization of a greater |and purer divinity. This is a religion which blends and unites all other re- | ligions and makes men one whose hearts are good and true, no matter what may be | their creeds or their exterior appearance. It is, I believe, one of the teachings of philosophy that the universality of broth- ;erl:ood is one of those instincts which, if | rightly directed, will lead to a realization of that day of which seers and prophets of old have spokeu when they said the time would come when the world would be ruled not by gold but by love. “If you ask why this condition has not come about before, I say that universal brotherhood has never yet been allowed full play. If we would that our lives should become good and pure and harmo- nious in their character they must be ac- tuated by universal love and not by the selfish philosopny which can be expressed in the sneer,‘Am 1 my brother's keeper?' "’ America’s Grand Opportunities, Mrs. Katherine A. Tingley, leader of the theosophical movement of the world, spoke next, “I cannot talk about the general theo- sophical topic which I had in mind,” she said, “until I tell you that not until I reached San Franciscodid Irealize what it was to be an American. It was not that I believe that you are any greater than other people, because I believe all souls are divine, and so I cannot call you greater than others in that sense. “But I do say you have glorious opportunities. Here as long as vou respect the Government you can think with perfect liberty. I tell you there are thousands of people who are ab- ject slaves, devoid of every right whicha true map should have. The hearts of Americane thrill with that spirit of free- dom and toleration which has been handed down to them from their ances- tors. “In nine months we have established twenty-one National branches. One of the things that distressed me was the ignorance which the people of India and Egypt have of America. They know nothing of its educational insttutions, with its industries, with its spirit of lib- | erty. “I very much regret to recur to this matter, but I feel that I should call your attention to the great distress which ex- ists in the world to-day. All over—not so much 1n Armerica, but in other countries— thereisa pall. It seems to me that we cannot make any great advancement in the human race unless we instill into the hearts of men a larger sense of justice. “‘When each individual is dignifiea with the fact that he is an immortal soul, a art of a universal whole, the very idea of it will be his iuspiration to seek for better things. If every suffering individual in the streets to-night could realize this he would be filled with a hope that would carry him throngh the hardest trials. Then there will be no drunkenness, no crimes, no hopelessness, and out of the chaos will rise & mighty manhood that will raise the whole world.” Alice L. Cleather of London spoke of “‘The Final Perfectibility of Man,” as an end supremely desirable and possible. Dr. Jerome A. Anderson, one of the most prominent of the local theosophisis, closed the evening gathering with a few appropriate remarks that sent the people away in ‘a congenial mood. He was greeted with general applause, Banqueted | The Poor. At the conclusion of the meeting 250 men in distressed financial condition were treated to a supper in the basement of the building. The crusaders took occa sion to tell the men of the successful re- sults of similar suppers in large cities | where they have been in bringing the un- project for a temple on this coast employed and unfortunate into touch with those who are willing and anxious to aid them. In other cities the local branches have made it a point to have such suppers at monthly intervals. ——— » ‘Celebrities Coming. D. Bailey lectured last night at the Na- tive Sons’ building, under the auspices of | the Theosophical Society of this City, upon the subject, “Whom Did Jesus Wor- ship?” The lecturer explained the mission of Jesus from a theosophical point of view. Numerous questions put to the speaker showed the interest aroused. One query , “Did Jesus teach reincarnation?” and the answer was in the affirmative, These lectures will be continued during the spring, and there will be many celebri- ties among the speakers, inciuding Annie Besant, Countess Wachtmeister, Dbarma- pala, the Buddhist, and Roy, a Hindoo Brahman.

Thinks Tennyson’s Treatment of the Subject in Sportive Style Is Salutary. The Rev. A. J. Wells, pastor of the Sec- ond TUnitarian Church, preached last night on the subject, “The New Woman of Tennyson’s Day and Ours.”” Although he favors woman’s suffrage there are cer- tain types of the new women to which the speaker expressed strong disapproval. “Deliver me,” he said, *from the brainy woman with a mission.” In the introduction of his sermon Dr. Wells eaid: ““We are to-night to look at some phases of what is called ‘the woman question.” If we link the discussion with a famous poem it will give it interest, while the poet will serve to shield us from the suspicion of being impertinent. The phrase ‘woman question’ is itself almost an impertinence. Why not ‘man ques- tion’ as well? But it is not the business of either sex to theorize about the sphere of the other. “‘It is rather the duty of each to secure the liberty of both and” to act on the basis of the essential unity of life. Gibbon has called man ‘th urping sex'—and this is his place in history—and the stigma ;qu ,Civilization must still place upon im.’ The spesker thought that Tennyson’s half sportive treatment of the woman question was wise, and that we are tak- ing it too seriously. In the Princess, he said, we have Tennyson’s view of the inter- dependence of the sexcs and a poet’s deep 1nsight into this question of the day. It has this to commend it—it does not take the matter too seriously. He explained that Tennyson’s final appeal is to great nature: There are limits beyond which plans for woman's co-operation in the world’s work cannot go, The chief end of all women, he said, is not the home. Woman suffrage is a step up and deserves our support. Her votes will represent her finer self, and, counter. acting the vicious and brutal part of the masculine vote, will raise the virtue of our government. He thinks the advanc- ing independence of women by making them free from the necessity of marriage will resuit in the further ennobling of the marriage relation. —_—— SANBORN, VAIL & Co.have the best leather §00ds department in San Francisco.

The significance of the present theosophical crusade in our midst lies deeper than a superficial observer might suppose. The presence here of some of the most cminent theosophists of the world and their indicate a remarkable extension of the world religion of brotherhood. In this movement the north stretches its hand to the south and the east kisses the west. The Pacific shore is honored by its selection as a site for a permanent shrine to encourage the cult of the mysteries of antiquity. Here will be united the gray-haired wisdom of the Orient and the genius and energy of the golden young Occident. Hand in hand they will be invincible and together scale the heights of true God-wisdom. JEROME A. ANDERSON. WANT THE MAYOR - T0 STUDY 1T UP Big Sunday Afternoon Meeting of the Labor Exchange. Long List of Merchants and Others Willing to Accept Labor Checks at Par. Would Undertake City Improvemen!s Without Creating an Interest- Bearing Debt. It came very near being an overflow meeting of the Labor Exchange that was held at Pythian Hall yesterday afternaon. Standing room was in demand, and the keenest interest was manifested in the proceedings, which were simply directed at an exposition of the metheds of the exchange and the problem of how the un- employed of the City and of the State and of the country may be put to work at good wages by these methods. Several members of the Socialist Labor party were present, and endeavored to disconcert the president by asking a series of questions considered very hard in social economics, but they were answered o sat- isfactorily that in every instance the big audience broke into applause. 25 The question of undertaking public im- provements under the Labor Exchange system—that of issuing vouchers for the labor and material, the vouchers to be made acceptable in payment of taxes— was discussed. The foilowing resolution was unanincously adopted: Resolved, That we call tne attention of the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors of tne City and County of San Francisco to the new financial sy stem under which public improve- ments can be made without creating an inter- est-bearing debt. Resolved, That under this new system there isalways plenty of money to carry on public improvements, thereby lessening poverty, want and distress among those Who are most useful to soote z., the working class. Resolved. furthér, That the Mayor and Board of Supervisors be requested 0 study this sys- tem with a view of adopting the same for the purposes above set forth, The secretary was directed to mail the resolutions to the members of the board and to the Mayor and to inclose with them a list of the business houses that accept Labor Exchange checks at their face value as being as zood as money. The list was printed in the form of a “Labor Exchange directory’’ and includes almost every line of business and profession as follows: Architects, 1; artists’ materfal neys, 2; bakeri 2; bicycle-shops, 1;" boots and shoes, 2; ca Ppet cleaning and laying, 1; cigars and tobacco, wholesaie, 1; coal and wood, 2; coffee, tea, spices, extracts, 1; commission and produce, 2; cloth, retail, 1;’ cloth, wholesale, 1; crock- ery and glassware, 2; dentists, 1; dried fruits and nuts, wholesale,’1; doctors, 5; dry-goods, 1; fire insurance, '1; furnished rooms 3; 1; attor- , 1; beskets, 1; biacksmith: fruit stores, 2; eleciric works, 1; furni- ture, new and _ second-hand, 4; gro- ceries, wholesale, 1; groceries, retail, 7; auntlets, mittens, 1; household ut e s, 2; hatters, 2; horseshoers, 2; liquors and cigars, 1; locksmiths, 1; photographers, 1; printing, '8; picture frames, 1; portraits, 1; poultry and game, wholesale and retall, 5; machinisis, 1; music-teacher, 1; rubber stamps, 1; restaurants, 2; sewing-mschines, 1; sewing-machine repairs, 1; sign painters, 2; house vainters, 1; shoemakers, 4; shoes makers, wholesale, 1; taflors, 2; teas and coffess,'2; watchmakers, 3; wagon-makers, 2; wines and liquors, wholesale, willow ware, wholesale, inlaid floors, 1; washiug-machin: This list, President Henry Warfield ex- pluined, almost if not quite completes the circuit of the necessities of men, so that Miss Grace Sabin and Dr. R. W. M. Payne, Whose Engagement Has Been Announced, SHE WILL BE A DOCTOR'S BRIDE Miss Grace Sabin to Wed Dr. R. W. Maxwell Payne. Mr. and Mrs. A. Ross Celebrate Their Silver Wedding at the Palace. A Delightful Sunday Musicale and Reception at the Bixler Residence. An interesting engagement just made public is that of Miss Grace A. Sabin, eldest daughter ot John P. Sabin, and Dr. R. W. M. Payne, the well-known young oculist and aurist, On Thursday evening Miss Sabin whis- pered her secret to one or two of her most intimate friends who were in attendance at Miss Delia Milis’ musicale. The news the holders of Labor Exchange checks are in a position to supply their wants with- out reference to money. As these checks come more and more into use the list may be rapidly and inde- finitely extended, he said. The boot and shoe manufacturer, for instance, he said, bad visited the headquarters at 522 Davis street, repeatedly asking for an increase of business through the Labor Exchange; he wanted more of tue checks. The whole system of contemplated municipal public improvements, the streets and sewers, he declared, could be undertaken through the medium suggested, and accomplished without a bond being issued or a cent of debt for interest incurred. State Organizer Clark delivered a stir- ring address on the pressing need of the reform as shown in the vast numbers of the unemployed and the prevalence of distress among the poor. There is no reason for it,”” he ex- claimed, “except theinadequacy of money to effect exchanges. The world is big enough and fruitful enough to supply every human being bountitully. All that is necessary is a correct system of ex- change that cannot be controlled and monopolized, but which is open and free at all times. This system has been dis- covered and is embodied in the Labor Exchange and once adopted will bring about a condition of liberty and plenty for all such as has never been dreamed of on earth. ““This is no fancy, but isa fact capable of demonstration by that which has been al- ready accomplished and is now in daily overation in this City. If they are per- mitted the workingmen can turn this into xh_cdmosl beautiful City in the world,” he said. it is expected that a larger hall will have to be engaged for the regular Sunday aft- ersoon meetings, as the interest in the movement is spreading in such fashion that the present quarters are already alto- gether inadequate.

Mrs. Julia Moffitt of 125} Rincon vlace, who was arrested on Saturday afternoon by C. P. Welch of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children, is indig- nant at the treatment she received at the hands af Secretary Welch. She denies having neglected or abused her children, but, on the contrary, she claims to have nursed them with all the tenderness and affection of a good mother through their recent illness. She also denies that she is addicted to the use of intoxicating liquor or has in any way neglected her household duties. She claims thatshe was roughly handled by the arresting officers, who dragged her from her home without permitting her to dress herself or her children, who were in bed at the time of her arrest. She states that she resides in the flat below that of her mother, and that when Secretary Welch visited her he refused her the privilege of communicating with the members of her family who were at home at the time, but forced her into the patrol wagon and had her taken to the Central police station with her two chil- dren. They were wrapped in blankets. She is also ignorant of who made the MISS EDNA LISSON. (QNEOF THE PRETTY YOUNG MISSES of Bakersfield is Miss Edna Lisson.

Her face, her hands, her body were at times all com- pletely .covered with blotches of small vimples. Many were the remedies tried to no avail. All kinds of soaps, ointments and doctors’ prescriptions availed not. About this time Joy's Vegetable Sarsa- parilla was recommended.

A Large Number of the Chinese Are rested Were Admitted to Bail Yesterday. The successful raid made by the police Saturday night under the direction of Captain Wittmen upon clubs in Chinae town, where gambling has been carried on, was the bizgest of the kind since the Chinese- settled in this City. In all 238 Chinese were arrested and nearly $1300 in coin seized as evidence. The raid was admirably planned and executed and showed the work of a mas- ter mind that knows how to strike when the necessity arises. The City Prison yesterday looxed as it there had been a general exodus from Chi« natown. The cells and corridors were filled with chattering Mongolians and a large crowd stood in front of the entranca waiting their turn to bail their friends out. The work of registering the arrests devolved upon Sergeant Bidwell, and he got through with exvedition and dispatch, Then Sergeant Lindheimer and Door: keeper Shaw had their hands full in ace cepting bail and releasing the prisoners. They were assisted by a Chinese interpre- ter. Over half the number were released before 4 p. M. and the work went on. Attorney Patrick Reddy released twenty-seven and he will defend them in court. Fifty-two were released on bonds accepted by Clerk Foley of Judge Conlan’s court. Chief Crowley warned Foley that if the men he was releasing on bonds which had not been passed upon by Ding Gong, the Chinese employed for that pur- pose, did not appear in court this morning he would held him personally responsible. The police say that besides the money seized they are in possession of evidence sufficient to prove that the law against gambling had been violated, and that the Chinese cannot protect themselves under the pretext that the clubs are incorpo- rated. The police had provided them- selves with search warrants, o they were acting within their right ARE YOU Troubled with pains in the small of the back, pains up each side of back bone to lower points of shonl- der-blade every now and then?
