16 COINCIDES WITH PROFESSOR JORDAN Rev. Father Wyman's Views on Emotional Religion. Is Either Spiritual Intoxication Or Evidence of Unsound Mind Says That True ligion Consists oi Obeying the Will of as Far as Possible. Rev. Father Wyruan of St.

Mary's Church, a man generous in his views on he idiosyncrasies of human nature, and who has been a student of the Bible for many years, coincides with Professor Jordan, president of Stanford University, in bia view that "a revival of religion in which men lose their reason is a form of drunkenness no more worthy of respect than the kind which lies in the uutter." "Altnoagh Professor Jordan couched his views in lerms stronger than the occasion really called for. said Father Wvman Yen Ing, "1 believe that in the main he is correct in his convictions. Emotional religion, which accompanies revivals, rests on a false confession of Saul, who was miraculously stricken blind and again restored to sight when he accepted the religion of Oirist, is given by Methodists a too universal application. On this miracle they have their argument that all who would become good Christians must undergo a change of heart, a spiritual revolution; must be Hooded with religious salvation, without which they never can be truly converted. I believe to be a false view.

Many of the best Christians never experienced any religious emotions. The essence of relicion consists of keepinc the I'oranundmeni' and in striving 10 do the will of God. A man who aims to avoid sin and to obey the will of God as far as possible has, tn my opinion, the best evidence of Christian spirit. "Mv own exronence as a missionary in the Catholic church has taught me that in mir church those people who are the most emotional ami readily and easily weep over tneir sins are frequently not ttieones who prove afterward the sincerity of their repentance by their "I have met persons who seemed incapable of receiving religious impressions, yet who from a rational consideration the eternal truths of gospel and a determination to avoid evil have become thoroughly devout Christians. "Now regarding Professor Jordan's remark that religious enthusiasm is a form of spiritual drunkenness, there are people who under the Influence of Methodism manifest actions that would indicate that they were the victim of a deranged intellect.

"These are the people I believe Prolessor Jordan condemns. Ido not thins he would condemn sentiment 1 do not mean religious emotion that is fully controlled by sound reason."

The association was organized in April, 1893, to build a home for the parlors of the Native Sons of the Golden West in this City, nv.il the result of their work is the beautiful building on Mason street, a iuoiAiment to the perpetuity of the order. From the very inception of the fraternity, born in the spirit ol patriotism on the 4th day of July, 1875, its most earnest supporters cherished the hope that some day its members might be gathered beneath their own roof-iree and that pride of ownership might stimulate their zeal in the work of me order, and its good influences expand thence until they had be- OOmfl a blessing to the people of our State.

At various times delegates from the different parlors met and organized, with the objectof interestingcapital in the erection of a hall suited to the needs of the order, but their efforts were not crowned with the merited success. Undaunted by the failure of the pioneers in this work, the present Hall Association was organized, and, under the guidance of a zealous and untirine board of directors, the parlors of the Native Sons and their members were quickly interested, the necessary funds raised and the splendid ball erected upon Mason street. February 22, 1886, aside from its patriotic associations as the anniversary of Washington's natal day, is fraucht with unusual pride to the members of the Hali Association, in that it witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of their magniticent building. On February it, the labors ot the mechanics and artisans were finally hnished, and, with imposing and beautiful ceremonies, the hall was dedicated to the patriotic and charitable objects of the order. The history of the association since then has been one of marked success.

Within tho beautiful iodgerooms of me building aie brought together seventeen parlors of the Native Sons, h've of the parlors of the Native daughters and many of the other leading fraternal societies of the City.
