PLNDLBELNLLNGS SOR50E —_—e——————— i 0CCULTISM DISCUSSED Dr. Allen Griffiths delivered an interest- | ing lecture on *‘Spiritualism and Occult- | ism” last night, at the meeting of (he‘; Universal Brotherhood, in the hall of the | | Academuy of Sciences. A large audlience | listened to his views on the subject. He | | sald in part: spiritualism as it does upon everything else, from vantage ground of a universal | Sweep of viston. It admits the fact of Senuine phenomena, the existence of | Beings residing upon the superphysical | stae®ot mature, and the possibility of | communication being had with them | By men under certain conditions, but at | the same time warns against such practices as productive of evil. It as- | that man is composite in his the serts constitution, being composed, broadly i speaking, of body, soul and spirit. uring life he exists in a physical | body and is usually dominated by de- | sires and interests which at death per- ish, because of their perishable na- ture; that during life his spiritua: na- ture constantly strives to impress it- self upon the lower man and succeeds in the ratio of his elevating thnughl and action above merely earthly affairs. This is the volce of conscience. At IR death, soul and spirit are separated from the physical body which disin- tegrates and resolves back into f{ts primal elements. The Karmic body, an etherial counterpart of the physical body, continues for a certain time after death to exist upon the super- physical plane; the astral is just one remove from its former resi- dence in the physical body on earth. This Karmic body is the residence of the soul, composed of animal and human qualities. Immediately after death, with rare exceptions, the spiritual entity, the real man, ascends to the spiritual realm. The rmic body, holding only the lower animal, earthly and perish- able part of the former man, persists for a time in the astral world, and it is with this that ordinary mediums communicate, not with the true spir- ftual entity, as that has already risen bevond reach of mediumistic Inter- course. The intelligence that animates the Karmic body is but a reflection of the real man and persists for a short time only by virtue of previously imparted momentum, which is soon exhausted vered from its source. This low and waning intelligence olition of its own, but when anized into artificial life by a ium whom it absorbs strength, may impart some portion of its disappearing contents, but it does not and cannot impart more. {REV. DR. LOCKE'S FAREWELL ADDRESS Rev. Dr. Locke preached his farewell sermon to a large congregation last night. Scores of those who Wished to hear him were turned away, unable to get within the outer doors. The pastor spoke elo- quently, his voice at times breaking with feeling.

Father McCou e esei et et s bee was the Virgin Mary, and his large audi- ence followed every word with attention. In part he said: All Christians love and honor the y name of Mary, because she had 1 share in the work of our re- nd this work s one that responsibility and sor- e was greater than any given to either man or angel. She was associated in his work. She stopped him at the age of 12 when he said he must be about his Father's work. She caused him to resume it at the marriage feast in Cana, at Gali- lee, where he worked his first miracle at her prayer. She was associated in his passion. Simeon bound son and mother in a common bond of suffering and she followed him along the dolo- rous_road that led to Calvary, and stood beneath the cross. Why was Mary there? What mother ever goes to the execution of her son? Here was some design of God, some mystery of his love to be carried out. Our Lord had been conceived and born without detriment to her virgin- ity, without pain or labor. God lays upon her the full law of maternity, that “in labor and sorrow she shall bring forth children. — Unbinding of Lazarus. Rev. E. Nelander of the First English Lutheran Church preached to his con- gregation last night on “The Unbinding of zarus.” In part he sald: God never does directly what he can do through others. He might have furnished Noah with a complete ocean steamer, but he did not. e let the patriarch hammer away at the ark through a century, but he did furnish him with the length, the breadth and the height, because there was no skill in him to discover these. “Roll ye away the stone,” said Jesus to his disciples; not because he could not himself have done it, but he would enlist their service. ‘Loose him and let him go,” he saild. He could him- self have unwound the bandages, but that is not his way of doing things. He is saving the world through us. His word_to ever{agne of his follow- ers 1s: “Lend a hand.

RECEIVES A FINE TESTIMONIAL | gt o L IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A VERY | HANDSOME CHECEK. | e The Popular Divine Preaches the An- niversary Sermon, and Both He and His Flock Are Visibly Affected. b g The Rev. Horatio Stebbins, D.D., cele- brated the thirty-fifth anniversary of his | pastorate of the First Unitarian Church | yesterday morning in the church edifice | on the corner of Geary and Franklin streets. Dr. Stebbins pr d at the ser- vices and preached the anniversary ser~ mon. This was the second time that he had occupied the pulpit since his recent {liness, from which he has happily recov- ered. ’ A feature of the occasion was the pre- sentation to Dr. Stebbins of a beautifully engrossed testimonial, accompanied by a | check for 000. The testimonial was | signed by over 300 members of the con- | | the His subject ! of the sun.

Moderator Frank J. Symmes then ad- dressed Dr. Stebbins. saying that those under his charge had thought it proper to present him with a testimonial of the high regard they entertained for him and | as a slight _expression of their love and affection. The testimonial was then read by Mrs. Isidore Burns, and, after Dr. | Stebbins had responded, he received the congratulations of many, of the congre- | gation. —_——— Jonah, the Prophet, Discussed. Rev. William Rader discoursed on “The Gospel of Jonah™” before the congre- gation of the Third Congregational Church last night. l.e explained who Jonah was, dwelt on his disobedience and told of his visit to Nineveh and the work he accomplished there as an Evangelist. In discussing the prophet the speaker said, in part: “We learn how foolish is diso- bedience. God crosses our path with storms, our ships creak and strain In the stress of contrary winds. Jonah | was not a good prophet, or, if he was, | he was not a high type of a man. He was not great as was Elijah or Isaiah or Moses. It was his duty to go to Nineveh, as clearly as it was Dewey’s to enter the harbor of Manila, or the Americans _intrenched on Bunker Hill to pull their musket triggers when they saw the eyes of the redcoats. “We learn that the end §f law is not punishment, but to make people bet- ter. Punishment is never an end with God. Contrast this purpose with that of thie Dreyfus judges, who have suc- ceeded in making the impression that they endeavored to find grounds for puninshment instead of vindication; that they tried to excuse their ven- geance rather than to establish jus- tice.”” — e — ‘Officers’ Night at the Orpheum. This will be officers’ night at the Or- pheum, and as the guests of the citizens’ executive committee, 160 of the Idaho, Minnesota and Dakota commissioned offi- cers will attend the performance.

Dr. Isidor Myers Delivers an Ad- dress—Congregation Inscribes the First and Last Verses. The dedication of a new Sepher Torah or Book of the Law, took place yesterday afternoon at the Congregation Nevah Ze- deck, on Mission street. The Torah, which is in the form of a parchment scroll, was recently written by B. Gold- man, a scribe, in Europe, and brought to this city, where it was raffled and do- nated by the winner to the congregation. | The ceremonies of the dedication consist- ed of an address by Dr. Isidor Myers of the Bush-street synagogue and selections | by the Hebrew Orphan Asylum band. The first and last verses of the sacred scroll had been left unfinished by the orig- inal scribe, and it became the duty of the | members of the congregation to fill in the | required letters of the verses, and this| privilege was acquired yesterday after- noon by purchase. M. Rapkin acted as auctioneer, and succeeded in collecting quite a sum, which will go to the benefit of the congregation. After the inscription | of the verses had been completed the | Torah was deposited in the ark In which reposes several other sacred scrolls. n his address Dr. Myers said: “It is in accordance with an ancient Jewish cus- tom that we are assembled here to finish the inscribing of the Torah. The Torah was given to all Israel, and {ts crown is greater than that of the priesthood Toyalty. Every Israelite can take crown of the Torah and put it on his own brow. It is a sacred heritage handed down from generation to generation. It i{s your best friend, and has at all times been the safeguard of Israel.” Dr. ers referred to the sentence of Dreyf: which he characterized as the great tm%edy of the age. | “The fate of one man,’ he said, ‘de-| cides your fate and the fate of every Jew in the universe. It is the case of an indi- | vidual unjustly condemned through tha | hatred of the pagan spirit that is still | rampant in the world. France is not the only country where bigotry condemns the unfortunate to suffering. Te are other places equally as intolerant.” Dr. Myers concluded by exhorting his hearers ever to remain steadfast to their Torah, which was an antidote for all the | | evil passions to which man is heir. e e DR. COYLE ON FRANCE. OAKLAND, Sept. 10.—“France, in the | judgment of many, is trembling on the verge of national collapse; and, from the decision in the Dreyfus affair yesterday, one is tempted to say that she deserves to | collapse.” The foregoing words were uttered to- day by Rev. Dr. Robert F. Coyle, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, in the course of a sermon entitled “Waiting for r. Coyle has but recently returned | from a_ four months’ tour through Eng- land, France and Europe generall was 'briefly commenting in_to-day’'s ser- | mon on the present spasm of war that, he said, seems to have seized almost every nation.
