TUU. LEASED W1RB TELEGRAPH RE FOOT
TWO SALEM PIONEERS HAVE GONE AHEAD.
During the past two weeks two well-known Salem pioneers
have passed on ahead into a higher world of consciousness.
The names and faces and activities of II. S. Jory and J. Q. Wil
son will be much missed from the community.
Both men were of quiet, peaceful disposition, faithful in all the
relations of life and standing for principle.
Both were men of the most temperate habits in life and ex
pression, kindly and considerate of their fellows.
Both were accumulators and builders, attending to the small
duties of life with scrupulous care and fidelity.
Both were men of the strictest integrity, paying their bills, keep
ing out of debt, and helping when needed.
II. S. Jory was a man who wanted to do what was absolutely
right, and, while tenacious of his opinions, was always willing to
consider the views of others, and adopt them if convinced.
He had a strong sense of humor, and in his way, of good fel
lowship and good will toward individuals, and toward the whole
community.
That was really his religion, to take a kindly interest in any
matter for the betterment of individual or community conditions.
Of John Q. Wilson it could be said that he was in many ways a
model, self-reliant individual, and a substantial member of socie
ty. The long record of fifty-five years as a member of the Inde
pendent Order of Odd Fellows was very characteristic of the man
He had a naturally conservative mind, averse to taking up
things because they were novel or popular, and not much influ
enced by others.
He was of a singularly unpretentious nature, open and willing
to accept the better things of life that came within reach.
But he was not progressive or aggressive in the modern sense
of the words, and preferred to go on in the even tenor of his
ways.
He was of a social disposition, and loved to sit and visit with
the common sort of people, like the boys over at the fire depart
ment. Mr. Wilson was not a man given ' to parading his religious
views, and they consisted principally of a strong desire to mind
his own business.
The lives and the good example of these men was of great
value to the community in which they lived.
Both assisted in the development of the state in many ways
and addd to its stability and improvements.

Here is her wonderful argument:
Radium absorbs energy from sur
rounding things and converts it into
heat and light. Nature iB the pro
duct of heat and light. Ufe is com
nf heat and light. Life which
is the radio-activit- of the soul, can
never dK The so"l is an ethereal
c'omposliton capable of radio-activity.
Hence the resurrection ad the re-Incarnation."
Etc.. etc. The Htory In
which all this jumb'e of physics and
metaphysics is mixed up with an
equally impossible vimuie oi ioes
and dislikes, is hardly worthy of be
ing accused of having a plot
But people who like Marie Corelll s
books will go wild over it, call the
book a higher revelation and Marie
its priestess. If it ld not deal with
so Important a subject as the im
mortality of the soul, which the
Apostle Paul calls the cornerstone of
Christianity, the book would not ne
worth noticing on its merits as a
novel, or for any Iterary quality it
might possess. But pretending to be
an exposition of spiritual truth and
to teach Christian doctrine. It is dan
gerous because it Is plausible to
shallow minds and will leave them
yet worse stranded on the mud-flats
of materialism. If God is Spirit,
Truth, Principle, Life and Love, as
she pretends, and man Is created in
his' Image and llkeess, then man as
the reflected Image of the Divine and
created from a purely spiritual
source, canot be the product of ra
dlum, electricity, or any actlcity ema
nating from a material source, nor
from Nature. Such teaching is a
bastard variety of pantheism. As
far as a story goes, there Is nothing

with a cranky invalid daughter, go

heroine along. They meet up with
another yacht of wonderful electric

Icb die, the spark-rellectors marry
and we are to suppose live forever
and a day. We were tempted to
read this latest work by Marie Corelll
merely to discover what there was to
her writings that induced such er
roneous numbers to buy her books,
Without plot, without literary dis
tinction, she possesses a faculty for
mingling metaphysics, criticism cf
life, philosophy, and the more subtle
poems of psychics materialism
into a Jumble that must appear to be
the work of a genius to the misin
formed. As nine-tenths of the read
era of fiction cannot distinguish be
tween truth and error, are Incapable
of sifting the chaff from the wheat
and are not fundamentally grounded
In any life principle, they re delight
ed with a diversion that appears to
them superantural.
That Is Marie Corelli's art. So-
called literary critics do not take her
seriously. But the popularity of her
work is In Itself the severest criti
cism upon what might be terme.1
popular religious beliefs. Perhaps
what she says in her prologue is true
that nine-tenths of all church mem
hers- do not undestand what they pre
tend to believe, and therefore Marie
Corelll is able to afford them enter
talnment.
