In which she poured out her heart to

troubles. She had been engaged to a
young man. who in 1863 enlisted for
three years in the army. After a few
months' service be was sent to a hos
pital sick. After bla recovery he. with
wiw other soldiers, was permitted to
return home for the election. That
was in October. 1863. The young wom
an said they had Intended to get mar
ried while he was home, but due to
the objections of her father, the sol
dier returned to his regiment a single
mam. The young woman confessed to
the President that there had been ln
-tlmacy between them and begged Lin
coln to send her flance back home so
that they could be married and pre

pressed it. In conclusion she wrote:

Golden Temple Of jeliol At Chicago’s World’s Fair
Discloses Romantic Episodes Of Chinese Emperors
Chicago, May 00.—All the legen
dary glamour, mystie rites of the
l ama and Buddhistic religions, and
romantic episodes in the lives or
Emperors who once ruled Chinese
Millions, have been brought to life
for the western world in the re
splendent Golden Temple of Jehol,
at Chicago’s 1933 World's Fair, A
Century of Progress, which opens
May 27.
Around the famed Golden Pavilion
are woven some of the most color
ful and stirring chapters in Orien
tal history. Bloodshed, court in
trigues, the love affairs of kings, and
the beginnings of a religion that
once swayed the millions, have their
part in the story unfolded for the
Exposition visitor.
The Chinese Lama temple, origi
nally built iu 1787 at Jehol, the sum
mer palace of Manchu emperors, is
now crumbling to ruins. Here in
Chicago it has been faithfully re
produced and will be preserved on
the shores of Lake Michigan for
future generations.
Brought in 28,000 Pieces
It was brought over land and
sea, with all its bright oriental reds
. and golds, by Dr. Sven Hedin, the
famous Swedish explorer-author, for
Vincent Bendix of Chicago. Recon
struction of the shrine in Jehol was
the work of more than two years.
More than 28,000 pieces of wood
were cut and fashioned in fabri
cating the historic shrine.
Dr. Hedin was particularly suited
for the task of seeking out a Chinese
temple that would be typical of the
Oriental type of architecture and at
the same time tell something of the
splendor and pomp of Celestial his
tory.
While engaged in research work
incidental to the building of the
Lama shrine and in the collection
of rare treasures which it houses,
Dr. Hedin discovered many inter
esting facts concerning the deca
dence of Lamaism. He learned that
while there were 600 Lamas, or
priests of the faith in 1911, their
■amber has diminished to 100 today.
The earliest Lamaism, visitors to
»
j the Fair will be told, iv:i3 a mixture
I uf' Lu4iliiis:n uu<l aiu-ivnt native
j aeimm-worship, having been brought
from India by Guru-Padwa-daui
tmava ia 7»i7. in its early history,
a large number of’ complicated rites
were developed, in which mystic ad
jurations and sacrificial acts pre
dominated.
Kose to Oreat Influence
Lamaism rose to great political in
fluence during the thirteenth century
when Kubla Khan, Emperor of China,
gave it his sanction and protection.
In 1261, the emperor recognized the
religion after representatives of
other faiths had been given an op
portunity to compete for the honor
in demonstrations of miracle-work
ing and mysticism.
In succeeding centuries, the idea
grew that Lamas, or high priests,
were emanation!) from the gods, and
had been reincarnated to protect re
ligion on earth. The it.miner at'
these “living gods’’ increased very
rapidly until they occupied prominent
places in almost all large temples in
Tibet and Mongolia.
The Mongolians were converted to
Lamaism for the second time about
1570, when Dalai Lama, the First,
made a ceremonious visit to the King
of the Tumet-Mongoiians in the tem
ple city of Kukukhoto. Since that
day the Mongolians have been ar
dent worshipers of the Lamaistic
code.
The Chinese Emperors of the Man
chu dynasty, who ruled until China
become a republic in 1911, found it
to be highly politic to support La
maism. The religion had a brilliant
era of greatness in the reign of
Ch’teii-Lung, 173*>-06, under wlios«

gods and dragons, prayer rugs, cere

tries and other treasures unfold for
the Occidental visitors the colorful
story of romance and intrigue that
was enacted in and about the shrine
during the centuries.
The student will find much to in
terest him in the Lama Temple,
aside from the stories of court in
trigue and romance woven around
its existence. At the entrance is •

wood covered with red gold lacquer,

DOINGS AMONG THE AMATEURS
Do you remember away back in old
times, I'll say in the days of Julius
Ceasar, when the soothsayers warn
ed old Julius to beware of the Edes
of March and old Julius thought he
was lord and master of the world,
then up pops old Brutus to dethrone
him. So it was in the days of old,
so was it Sunday “not Brutus”, nay,
not even the soothsayer, but “The
Holmes Tailors” that cut and finished
that frock they have been working on
every since the league opened.
The chamjfs* underestimated the
Tailors and before the second inning
was over the old man had them sew
ed up.
Nimrod, the mighty hunter, Hun
ter is the lad that turned the trick.
Say folks, that boy had the champs
so befuddled that the best they could
do was to turn pale and tremble they
did when they was Chas. Crump, who
just last Sunday shut out the P. P.’s
go to the showers. Then their ace.
“Big Red” also take a duck. What to
do about it, let’s turn out the lights
and go to sleep. Holmes, 19; Rex 12,
believe it or not.
U. P.’s Play Trotters Hard
The U. P. Boosters after having
been shut out last Sunday, came back
strong, almost beating the Trotters.
It was a well played game. Strategy,
pinch hitters and all the trimmings
were in vogue. The score, U. P.’s
2 Trotters 3.
Mid-City
The Mid-City Community Center
has won the heart of North Omaha.
We never saw such a f'ne coperative
spirit before in that community. That
institution can mold the civic spirit of
all Omaha and should sponsor every
civic move worthwhile, even to our
league. We feel it would be justified
under its wings.

Some Quips
G. Davis was the fielding star for
the U. P.’s Sunday making several
difficult chances look easy.
Hilton, star short stop for the
Globe Trotters, smoked one on the
nose for a homer in the 3rd.
Lawson, U. P. left fielder, took ad
vantage of Virgil Davis’ boner going
all the way from 1st to 3rd on the
wild throw over Williams head to
center field.
Gray, Holmes’ new catcher, was
taking em out of mud and killing em
dead at second.
Henry Crump should be proud of
his sons, yea of himself. The trio can

C. C. has a team of base stealers.
Jack Sprat lacks em wide. Sprat
cannot hit a perfect strike like Billy
Young he will murder a wild pitch.
We have had a team of good um

body goes down as all teams are tied.

“A THOUSAND YEARS OF
YESTERDAYS”
by H. Spencer Lews, Ph. D., F. R. C.
(Rosicrucian Brotherhood, San Jose,
California)
* * *
Volume VI. of the Rosicrucian Libr
ary, “A Thousand Years of Yester
days”, is, in reality, an inspirational
suggestive “pep” book introducing
and explaining some of the aims,
theories and practices of the AMORC
Rosicrucian Order.
* * *
The fore part of the book contains
a very interesting story concerning
the experiences of a hard-hearted,
close-fisted, successful American busi
ness man. In dreams there are reveal
ed to him his true personality and
the presumed existence of his soul
spiirt in previous incarnations, re
verting back a thousand years.
* * *
The story opens up a line of
thought that provokes many mental
theories and possibilities, Jreparing
the mind towards receptive and act
ive consideration of the Roscrucian
school of thought which is briefly
sumed up and analyzed in the few
supplements following the close of
the story and memory revelation.
