VOL. I KANSAS CITY, MO., SATURDAY, OCT. 9, 1909 NO. 22

The Evening AddressMr. Carl Gleeser gave us a very help­

ful and practical talk last Sunday even­ing on the subject of Judgment.

The following paragraphs are extracts from his address:

“ The most important, the most prac­tical truth of religion, that which con­cerns us the most deeply, is that our happiness or misery is determined by ourselves. Our mental attitude, dispo sition and activity will result in happi­ness or its opposite. The world cannot only serve as a mirror, but it can and does also serve as an echo. Call to an echo words of love, of good cheer, joy, commendation, etc., and they will sound back to you. We get back what we give forth.

“ Of all forms of atheism, the worst is that of the religionist who asks for laws and policemen to help him make men more religious! By force to make men keep the Sabbath, to be temperate, to be good. Where is God that he can­not and does not protect his own doings?

“ Every sin carries its own penalty with it, and therefore man should not punish the sinner.

“ Doesn’t it make you feel good all over to know that your happiness is not in other people’s keeping; that you can produce your heart-shrine right within, regardless of the grumpiness and un­pleasantness of others? 'Overcome evil with good, that is a rule of action that holds good in every relation of life.”

Appendectomy is CriminalA B oston P h y s ic ia n sa y s th e O p era­

B o s t o n , O c t o b e r 4,— “ An operation for ap­pendicitis should be called a crim inal operation and should be proh ib ited by law ,” Dr. C harles E. Page, a widely known Boston physician says. “ I have been following the records of appendi­citis ever since the craze for appendectom y sta rted ,” Dr. Page said today, “ and I confidently believe that the day is coming when the people will finally realize that the removal of the appen­dix is a crim inal operation. As for the widely proclaim ed benefits and saving of life by the operation it seems hardly necessary to cite the long list of deaths that have followed it. Only recen tly we have the striking instances of Clyde F itch , the g reat playw right, and Governor John­son, of Minnesota. T he surgeons removed Gov­e rnor Johnson’s appendix a year or so ago; thev operated on him a second tim e and on the third he fell a victim to mistaken m odern theories. I have kept track of such deaths for twenty years and the list is appalling."

The above clipping from the Star shows that the hypnotic spell which has been holding the civilized world under the knife is about to be broken.

A Heavy ShowerA shower had been predicted for Wed­

nesday, October 6th, and old Sol must have been a little surprised to find a perfectly clear sky at Kansas City when he peeped over the horizon that morn­ing. Nevertheless the shower began early and lasted all day. The seeming unfavorable weather conditions were pronounced very favorable, and the shower came and came right into the Unity Inn. It was a shower of bless­ings and the smiling sunlight added to its beauty.

It did not come down in sheets, al­though there was a pair of blankets in the downpour, but it arrived in baskets.

The good people brought amber jel­lies, heavy jars of home made preserves, fragrant apples, all kinds of fruits, po­tatoes, flour, and many things of value in the kitchen.

It was a very generous offering, and the donors will surely be blessed in' their giving.

It is not necessary to go home after the Sunday morning service to get din­ner. Jusi step into the Unity Vegetar­ian Inn. The Sunday dinner is 35 cents.

1 He that dwelleth in the secret placeof the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of Jehovah, He is myrefuge and my fortress;

My God, in whom I trust.3 For he shall deliver thee from the

snare of the fowler,And from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take

refuge:His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for theterror by night,

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;6 For the pestilence that walketh in

the darkness,Nor for the destruction that wasteth

at noonday.7 A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thoubehold,

And see the reward of the wicked.9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!

Thou hast made the Most High thyhabitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh

thy tent.11 For he shall give his angels charge

over thee,To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in theirhands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion andthe adder:

The young-lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love uponme, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I willanswer him;

I will be with him in trouble:I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

Seattle to the FrontA recent letter from Seattle, Wash.,

reports that our Mrs. VanMarter is in the midst of her second class of in­struction in the principles of Practical Christianity, and is commanding increas­ing interest and growing numbers. The same letter contains a clipping from a Seattle paper to the effect that our old friend and co-worker, Mrs. Lawson, nee Agnes McCarty, has been secured by the Congregational church there to en­lighten it on the subject of Divine Heal­ing. We make a short extract from clipping:

Believing that the m uch-discussed Em anuel Movement, if kept out of the hands of quacks and fakers, has m uch that is beneficial and worthy of deep study, the Rev. Sydney Strong, pastor of the Q ueen Anne C ongregational C hurch, has se­cured Mrs. Agnes M cC arty Lawson, one of the best known and c leverest of women lec tu rers connected with the movement, to deliver a series of addresses before his congregation. T his is a somewhat radical departu re, but M r. Strong be­lieves that his action will be taken in the right spirit by his congregation, and that the m em bers will derive benefit from the course.

M rs Law son’s series will be entitled, " T h e H ealing M ovem ent in the C hurches.”

She bePeves that the healing movement belongs to the churches and should rem ain in them. She and he r husband, Dr. C. H. Lawson, purpose to give their services to the churches in o rder to assist in bringing them to their own.

Mrs. VanMarter will return to her work in Kansas City the last of October.

“ The Kingdom of God is Within You”

There was once a good old Quaker who, as a result of calm and wholesome living, had reached the unusual age of one hundred and six years. One morn­ing the old man was sitting on the porch

of his cottage, dreaming dreams of peace, when a would-be funny man passed by, and called out to him, ‘ ‘Hello, father! Is it not about time that you died and went to heaven?”

The old man looked up serenely, and answered in his gentle voice, “ My son, I have lived in heaven for the last forty years. ”—Selected.
