Johnson can hardly lave tailed to notice the strong psychical trait In the character of that Interesting and quaint personality Like most geniuses he was a remarkable combination of eccentricities prejudices and common sense and when in the latter mood showed himself to be kind broad minded and tolerant It this peculiarity of temperament that accounts for the various opinions entertained regarding him a hisrh churchman of the high and dry school he was A ally vigorous in hli condemnation of other faiths while he had almost no kind word for infidelity This was no doubt largely due to the peculiar spirit of the eighteenth centurj an age notable for Its scepticism particularly In regard to revealed religion It is dlftcult to determine exactly his iews on many subjects frequently though he mat have dealt with them essentially a controversialist he was vrr readv to argue on the other side But he clearly showed a leaning iowraj fraud Johnsons own words give the Impression that he was unconvinced but puzsled as any reasonable Individual must have been In view of the circumstances On several occasions he expressed his wonderment at the Illusive nature of the subject that thousands of years had elapsed and It was still undecided whether the spirit of any person appeared after death All argument is against it he said but all belief is for It A total disbelief In ghosts he regarded as adverse to a belief in the existence of a soul between deatn and the last day The question simply is whether departed epirits ever have the power of making themselves perceptible to us Boswell confessed before the Liter ary Club that he believed in second sight while Dr Johnson Is willing to believe It Is almost amusing to notice how carefully Johnson dealt with this subject showing that though not pre pared to commit himself about what he had not personally experienced he could not lightly dismiss It On several occasions he referred to the vast a more Just vie of the after death amount of testimony In support of this state than Anglicanism anowea strange faculty ror He says it can i iv i not properly be called a power Bos Hill Conception of the Spirit world wrlteB Introauced the subject Whatever mii have been his exact of second sight and other mysterious belief concerning the nature of the next manifestations the fulfillment of which life we know sufficient to be sure itM I suggested might happen by chance unborthodox enough to reeal him as Johnson Yes sir but they have hap supenor to his creed He considered pened so often that mankind have the happiness of dsembodled spirits to agreed to think them not fortuitous consist a consciousness of the favor In his Journey to the Hebrides John of God In the contemplation of truth I eon points out that what Is thus local and in the possession of felicitating to the Hebrides is a faculty nowhere ideas He believed there was no harm totally unknown In endeavoring to fill up the great Defined Second Sight blank

8 Mattox says Time and space play a far more Important part In the garden of Eden story than is commonly credited to them They are so customary and usual a sort of dally event so to speak that they are accepted at their face value and without much If any question No one as a general rule ever stops to ask himself What is time or Where and what is space To define either of these seemingly necessary and natural elements of human existence In the opinion of the average man would be a useless en deavor and there are not many who try to do it Everything we do says the materialist is done In space we are here or there we move from place to place through the Indefinable thing called space But he argues since everybody knows tnere has to be a place of Iron mountain down to a microbe

Made Visible There was a time when they were unknown preserved mysteries and hidden secrets the rational soul gradually discovered them and brought them out from the plane of the invisible and the hidden Into the realm of the visible This Is the greatest power of intelligence In the world of nature which in Its highest flight and soaring comprehend the realities the properties and the effect of the contingent beings But the universal divine mind which is beyond nature in the bounty of the mind is dine It embraces exlstlngashrd pre existent power This universal mind is divine it embraces existing realities and it receive the light of the mysteries of God It is a conscious power not a power of Investigation and of research The Intellectual power of the world of nature Is a power of Investigation and by its researches It discovers the realities of beings and the properties of existence but the heavenly Intellectual power which Is beyond nature embraces things and Is cognizant of things knows them understands them Is aware of mysteries realities and divine significations and 1 the discoverer of the concealed verities of the kingdom This divine intellectual power is the special attribute of the holy manifestations and the dawning places of prophethood a rav of this light falls upon the mirrors of the hearts of the righteous and a portion and a share of this power comes to them through the holy manifestations The holv manifestation have three conditions One the physical condition one that of the rational soul and one that of the manifestation of perfection and of the

perceives tangible things These five powers perceive outward existences Man has also spiritual powers Imagination which conceives things thought which reflects upon realities comprehension which comprehends realities memorj which retains whatever man Imagines thinks and comprehends The intermediary between the five outward powers and the inward powers is the sense which they possess In common that Is to say the sense which acts between the outer and the inner powers conveys to the inwara powers whatever the outer powers discern It is termed the common faculty because It communicates between the outward and inward powers and thus is common to the outward and Inward powers Power of Sight For instance sight is one of the outer powers it sees and perceives this power and conveys this perception to the inner power the common faculty which transmits this perception to the power of imagination which in its turn conceives and forms thle Image and transmits it to the power of thought the power of thought reflects and having grasped the reality conveys it to the power of comprehension the comprehension when it has comprehended it delivers the image of the objects perceived to the memory and the memory keeps it in its repository The outward powers are Ave the power cf sight of hearing of taste of emell and of feeling The Inner powers are also five the common faculty and the

paralyze effort Christian Science comes with an Invigorating message of hope and encouragement When we begin to understand even faintly that creation is complete that the Infinite perfection of being has been forever here and everywhere we are also able to glimpse the great truth that eternity Is here and now As a consequence past and future are recognized as illusive torments devised specifically for mankinds undoing With this awakening comes a growing sense of power to override the laws of condemnation and censure that accompany the false belief of time and space The dream tnat there Is a yesterday or a tomorrow is eeen to be a myth when thought rises to the point where it can see that In God universe no evil has happened no evil is about to happen because good is ever present Discordant events are not trans piring according to the true understanding of divine history God man does not have to wait for something to take place for something to be accomplished since all good is and there Is no evil Good Ever Present Mortals are learning that time and space are both dependent for their sup tian Endeavor Day John A Miles will lead the meeting from to 7 SO captain held a
