A;ed in listening to \ medium; “he waa killed by the Indiana." | recognize h im ! ’ said the medium, In her chardc-

cbulm -bon — Florence I’erey.

In these days when psychic research Is fo.|_becoming: a popular thing, the following true story must. It seems to me, be considered byalll fair-minded people as having ao Important bearing npon the question o f a life beyond, and also go far to prove that that life beyond Is not always an echoless shore, as Florence Percy| called It in the poem from which my opening quotation Is taken.

The story I am going to tell you goes awayj back Into my childhood for Its beginning. I] have but a dim memory o f the time when my node Forbes Potter, my mother's youngest] brother, came to our home, near South Bendl Indiana, to make a farewell visit before leavJ log “the States" for California. At that time tol go to California was like going out of the world, and one so going was taken leave o f by his friends as one whom they were more than likely never to see again. At that particular time the Indians were troublesome, and one verily took his life In bis bands who ventured upon the frontiers.

My uncle bad also another sister living near South Bend, and he visited botb, and for each family be bad a ploture taken In the then pre­vailing sty le. The one my mother received was a rather poor one, and very dark, ond, In course of time, became also very dim.

The farewells were spoken, and my uncle took his departure—forever. No word from him ever came back again to bis family, or friends—that Is, from the mortal side of the shadowy river. It wns as though be bad gone out Into the darkness and silence of eternity, and nobody knew bow, or when, or where. Ma­terially speaking, be bad reached an ecboless shore, whence nevermore a voice, not even a whisper, or (sign, or token should come back to those who watched and waited In vain for some word from the long-absent one.

Years passed by. I had attained to woman­hood, when my aunt’s family, who then lived In the c ity of South Bend, had their attention called to a fortune-teller, a colored woman, liv­ing in the same o lty. The woman was really a medium, without even knowing It herself, pos­sessing clairvoyance and other powers. My! aunt was what would then have been called a superstitious woman, believing lo signs and to­kens. She went to consult the oracle with a view to learning, If possible, something of the fate of her brother Forbes. She w as told by the negro woman that he had been killed by Indi­ans, and that none o f bis friends would ever bear from him again. All bis traveling com­panions, she said, bad been destroyed; not one bad been le ft to tell the tale. That waa In the fall or i860.

Her words have proven true, so far as the mortal Is concerned. More than twenty-nine years have passed since she said It, and no one has ever been seen or beard from—from the material side—who conld tell us bow, or when, or where the spirit o f my uncle had passed on

Again the name was dropped, and the ap­parently anxious spirit remained unrecognized. The name, and the sensations that came to me with Its announcement, haunted me, and the next day, while alone, the Impression came to me with great power that the spirit called by the medium's guide George Potter was In reality my l;ncle Forbes; that the Christian name be­ing an unusual one the guides had mistaken it for George, that sounding the most like It of anything. When this Impression bad become clearly fixed In my mind I experienced an over­whelming sense of disappointment, as though the spirit who bad for the first tim e In all these years found an opportunity and a medium through whom be could send a message to the friends so long ago left behind, the friends who bad so much wondered over bis unknown fate, and when be bad so earnestly tried to make himself known, bad so nearly succeeded and yet bad failed—could hardly endure his bitter disappointment. 1 fe lt as though I wanted to

[bow my head and weep bitterly over the cruel [disappointment which now, tbrongb the mag­netic presence of the spirit himself, bad become In part my own. I f I hod only suggested that

[perhaps the name given was not quito right, and bad thus called the guide's attention to It, the right name m ight have been given, and the long-waiting soul m ight not have been saddened | mecause of "hope deferred.’j

(Three years passed by before I again heard | |from him—that is, In such a way that I could recognise It. If other mediums bad ever seen him clolrvoyantly and tried to describe him, I never knew It, and as my memory o f him was faint, and I very rarely thought of him; I

[should not have been very prompt In recogniz­in g any description of him, even If such a de­scription had been attempted. |HJn December, 18S0, Maud Lord Drake, whom I bad never seen, came for the first tim e lo San Bernardino, and, by Invitation, gave a seance In my borne. We sat lo a circle In the dark, bold­ing each other by the band. The medium sat within the ring thus formed, with her feet placed upon those o f one of the sitters, and her bands keeping up nil Irregular kind of clapping, to designate ber locality, so that no one would suppose that she was doing all, or any, of the many tblngs that constantly attracted the at­tention of the circle. Lights—some o f them large and brilliant—appeared here and there every little w hile; and one or two clairvoyants In tho circle declared that they recognized the faces of some of I heir spirit friends beaming from the lights. Once a large light, starting from the floor, shot up over the bead o f one of the sitters, and bent to the floor behind him, •panning him with an instantaneous bow of light. Hands putted our heads and faces and shoulders, lovingly clasped our own. Whis­pered words, loud and distinct, were addressed to the different members of the circle. A deli­cious perfume, as o f flowers, greeted our nos­trils. Fans, previously provided for that pur­pose, fanned us, and created grateful breezes at Intervals. A guitar and a sm all music-box were played upon, and were floated over our beads, or placed In our laps. A strong, loud, manly voice—seem ingly some distance above

terlstlc way."Can you tell me how you died?" said I, ad- a

dressing the spirit.The answer came in a loud, thrilling whisper

directly In front of m e :"Murdered! Murdered I”So awed and thrilled was I with this manifes­

tation that, Instead of Improving the oppor3 tunity to ask further questions, 1 began to talk about my uncle and bis supposed fate to other members of the circle; and then, afterward*,! never ceased— until lately—to regret that I bad not been able to ask him, and have him nn-| swer, at least two more questions, viz., “Were you murdered by Indians?" and "Did you try to give me your name tbrongb Mrs. Whitney, at the camp-meeting, In 188(1?” and I had Bcarceljn a doubt that both questions would have been answered In the affirmative.

I said I bad never ceased—until, lately—to re­gret that I bad not Improved the opportunity of having those two questions answered. N’otp,I am very glad I did not have them answered at that time, for If I bad, I probably should never have obtained the wonderful sequel which I have now to relate, and which sequel forms the most Important and Interesting part of this truly wonderful story, coming entirely-, as It does, from the "echoless shore,” "the land of shadows.”

Every day the necessity of organization on the part of Spiritualists becomes more apparent. Here In the Stato of Massachusetts the people are aroused more than ever before on account of their recent experiences. Mediums, so I am Informed, are refused a license, and y et if they give a seance without a license are 'liable to arrest. Mr. Keeler was obliged to pay a fine of] fifteen dollars for giving u seance without a license (It was denominated a show by the law). He had able counsel, but they Informed him that ns long as the statute existed he was clear­ly liable. I am sure that tho most violent op­ponent o f organization will clearly see by this that something ought to be done to remedy this state of things, yet what can be accom­plished unless,we all work together?

Since my arrival here I have been kept hard at work explaining the alms of our organization. On Sunday I attended the Lyceum meeting, and In the evening the services at Berkley ’Hall. On Tuesday evening I addressed a meeting In Lynn. Mrs. M. K. Dowland, who had charge of the meeting, extended to mb a cordial welcome. Those present were thoroughly In sympathy with organization, and manifested It in a prac­tical way.

|Wedneaday evening was tho meeting of the Veteran Spiritualists' Union, of which 1 am a [member. It always gives me pleasure to be [with them. The speakers of the evening were Moses Hull, Mrs. Longley, Mr. Bowtelle, and others I gave a synopsis of my work In the West and urged the needs of missionaries who looold go forth to Instruct those who were not Ifamlllar with our philosophy.■Friday evening I addressed the Ladles' Aid [Society. I understand that this la the oldest [society In Boston. It la doing much charitable I work, and Is now about to move into better [quarters. 1 spent a very pleasant evening with | them, and hope to be with them again.I Moses Hull and Frank Baxter, together with Mrs. Longley, took part In the evening exercises.The president of the society 1b Mrs. C. Barnes, who lifts the position with grace and dignity.

I Sanday found me In Salem. Words fall to (express my feelings when 1 attempt to record [them. The Spiritualist Society at this place keeps guard over the place where the mediums [of the past were tried for wltchorafL The [society here might well serve sa a model for others. Mr. Joseph Stiles was the speaker and

I test medium for the day. The hall was filled to [overflowing to hear him. Certainly be Is a [marvel as an Instrument Id the hands of the [spirits. I presented the claims of the N. S. A.1 to this most enthusiastic audience, and they responded in each a way as to show me beyond la doubt that they were In favor of the move- [ment. The guides ot Mr. Stiles also spoke of [the work. It will be a long time before I will [forget the pleasant day spent with the society lot Salem, or the beantiful singing.

Tuesday. March 12th, found me at Lynn once more. We had a pleasant meeting. Professor McLean, Mrs. Dowland, and myself were the

[speakers on that occasion. This society Is |] thoroughly In sympatay With the work, ot or- Iganlzatloa.

It Wednesday 1 had the pleasure ot addressing

tfiflA of mmiuu a* LLTcffuiix to bnnf-epuu. ’nalffm before the people. His Wednesday night meetings are principally for the fovestlgatora who are privileged to ask any question bearing upon the philosophy and phenomena of Spirit­ualism. He also has seances for physical phe­nomena free every Sanday morning and evening.

Thursday found me In Marblehead. There Is no regalar society here. It was a special meet­ing. Mr. Joseph Stiles was the medium. After he was tbrongb the people assembled listened attentively to my remarks on the necessity of organization. I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Stevens, of Devereaux, woo are ardent Spirit­ualists. Mr. Martin, of Marblehead, Is also working earnestly for the cause. He Is one who puts his band in bis pocket when the meetings ran behind financially.

Friday evening I again visited the Ladles' Aid of Bob ton. They meet every Friday and give a supper. Among the many present 1 make note of Mr. Charles Sullivan and Miss Amanda

I Bailey, both of whom rendered beautiful selec­tions of music. Mrs. Longley told ot the plans |for a mediums' home, and said that a friend had given a liberal donation. Other mediums and speakers took part In the exercises.

I Friday morning I was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, of Salem. Mr. Saunders escorted me through that historic town. I visited the court house and obtained a copy of the record of the trial ot Bridget Bishop for witchcraft, saw witch pins, visited the witch house, and made note of many things connected with the history of that cruel persecution of mediums,

l it bad the effect upon me of making me more determined than ever to do what 1 could to see that we are protected lo our rights.

Sunday, March 17th, I visited the societies at Providence, R. I. The Providence Spiritualist Association had as speaker Dr. George A. Fuller, of Worcester, Mass. He being thoroughly In favor of organization, gave an address wnich illustrated Its necessity so thoroughly that It required very little work upon my part. The president of this society asked the members to vote upon the taking out of a charter, and It was a unanimous one. I received a cordial in­vitation to visit their society again, and many words of encouragement were given me. In connection with this soolety Is uu adult school,

| also a lyceurn. The sessions of both are unusu­ally interesting.

In the evening I visited the Peoples' Progres­sive Society of Spiritualists. Dr. Roscoe ex­tended to me an Invitation to address the society at the close of Dr. F. L. H. Willis' remarks. I ex­plained to them the alms of oar society, asking for tbelr co-operation In our efforts to be recog­nized before the courts of the land. A pleasant feature of this occasion was the remarks of Dr. Willis, who said that after a two mouths' visit In Washington, where he bad an opportunity to investigate the work of the N. S. A., he had be­come convinced that Its officers and workers bad no intention of uniting for anything more than to seoare a protection o f the interests of Spiritualist, and in this they bad bis earnest support. Snob words coming from one of the veterans in our ranks ore helpful.

Dr. Willis advised all to look into the (princi­ples of organization, and bespoke for the N. S. A. the earnest support of the Spiritualists of Providence.

Tuesday morning the medical bill comes up before the Committee on Public Health. The Spiritualists are working hard not to have it I become a law, and lively times are expected.

On the whole I must say that i think that Spiritualists every where are becoming Imbued with the .necessity for more organized effort, provided It be kept on a business basis, and no attempt be made to enforce any creed upon them. Bat they see the necessity of meet­ing organization with organization, If we are to nave the obnoxious laws repealed that now exist on the statute books, as so forcibly illus­trated In the Keeler case.

This Is manifested through two' great laws, to whose operations no limit has been found, either in time or space, having no beginning, no end, and no change. These are named “force” and “energy."

Force Is tbe mighty power of gravitation which binds atom to atom and makes the earth

outgrown by science and superseded by an or­ganized unit, alive with vital activity.

“All matter Is quivering with action": every atom is In motion, all motion is force, all force Is/power. This power Is Indestructible because matter Is indestructible. It can have no end as matter can have no end; It can have no begin­ning as matter has no beginning, so far as

“Infinite and Eternal Power that permeates tbeo:her, are what bold the earth In its orbit, aa it revolves around the sun, once every year, mov­ing In its path at the enormous speed of eigh­teen miles In a second, or more than sixty times as fast as a musket ball.

The next point which science teaches, and which she has reached within the last fifty years* Is that the whole vast nnlvene Is one.

“Tbe whole tendency of modern science," says Prof. John Flake, “Is to Impress npon us tbe truth that the entire knowable universe Is an Immense unit, animated throughout all its parts by a single principle of life."

The proof of this lies In four facts which science has ascertained.

First, in the discovery that the law of gravi­tation which bolda tbe atoms of matter to­gether and bolds this earth In a solid body, bind­ing all objects on its surface to Itself, also ex­tends to other planets ncjl to all suns and stars and bodies of matter In tbe universe.

We fall to appreciate this fact because tbe universe Is so vast. There are stars looking down upon us every night which are so far away that their rays of light, traveling at tbe rate of 180,000 miles in a second, and which would come from the sun to the earth in eight minutes, consume hundreds of years In reach­ing us. Some of them, as old as tbe pyramids of Egypt, even older than this globe, are at such distances away that their light has not yet reached this earth.

Broaden out tbe mind to encompass this fact, and then remember that the same power which globes the dew drop In the early morn. In your front yard, bolds those distant bodies of mat­ter, In their accustomed orbits; yea more, It reaches all tbe uncounted worlds which float In space and which we call tbe stars of heaven, and binds them all Into an organized whole, though they are scattered In remotest sections of space, qulntilllons of miles apart.

The second proof Is In the fact that the ether which permeates tbe space In which the earth revolves, without retarding Its speed, and which Is too fine to be weighed or measured, extends through all Interstellar space, and is the me-

entire universe" and binds all Its parts and powers into an organized whole.

In another article I shall consider whether this power has intelligence.

THOMAS PAINE'S STATUE.To I ha Editor of l . ta a r o r T aurn.

If all the people could only realize why Con­gress has failed to honor the man who did more than any other five men, It Is sald/to gain our independence, they would hasten to do him justice. Some years ago there was a marble] statue prepared by tbe friends of Thomas Paine for Independence Hall, Philadelphia, and all tbe people should know why It was refused a place there by tbe Church monopoly.| This relic of the dark ages has blocked the onward march of civilization long enough, and It Is high time that tbe common people should be beard. Since tbe statue was refused It has been In tbe law office of Mrs. C. B. Kilgore, near tbe old ball of liberty, tit# Walnut street. It Is now proposed to bring It to tbe rotunda of the capltolr where all works of art are Inspected before finally disposed of.

It Is believed that when tbe fifty-fourth Con­gress shall convene the members that are wise and desire a reflection will not bq influenced In locating tbe statue by the God of Moses, whose record, according to Exodus 22:10, has caused so much desolation In families. States and nations,but they will probably be guided by tbe more enlightened nineteenth-century God of David, according to tbe nineteenth Psalm,whose mercy endaretb forever, which was the God of Thomas Paine, and popular with most of tbe American people.

This fact will, doubtless, cause Congress to bopor tbe man who did so much to bring victo­ry In our struggle for Independence, and tbej will give him a prominent place among the great men of the nation.

The only known relics of this friend of hu­manity have been, for some years. In the custo­dy or the National Museum (spectacles and shoe-buckles), and It Is expected soon the gov­ernment will be glad to purchase them.

_|But I am Inclined to believe that there Is sn older and deeper significance to be attached both to tbe sunflower and its color. Among the ancient Romans and Grecians the sunflower was a favorite emblem of constancy, and it arose from the story of Clytle In anelent mythology, and It is thus related by an old author:

“Clytle was a water-nymph, and was In love with Apollo, the god of the sun, who made her no return. So she pined away, sitting all day long upon the cold ground, with her unbound tresses streaming over her shoulders. Nine days she sat and tasted neither food nor drink,' her own tears and the chilly dew her only food. She gazed on tbe sun when he rose, and as he passed through bis daily coarse to bis setting: she saw no other object; her face turned con­stantly on him. At last they say her limbs rooted In the ground, her face became a flower, which tarns on its stem so as always to face the sun through Its daily coarse; for it retains to that extent the feeling of the nymph from whom it sprang."

Meet geologists are agreed that great changes of climate have taken place In prehistoric agesl and the probability Is that our own zone has ex{ perlcnced In turn several such changes, so that] there have been In It alternate cold and mild periods. The theories advanced to account for these changes are various, and scientific men can scarcely be said to have agreed yet on any one of them. The probability Is that many causes conspired to produce the condition of things for which It Is sought to account.

When will the toiling, moiling millions of the1 world realize the spirit and truth of these] axioms and act np&n them, instead of parading them npon banners and scrolls, and prating them like poll-parrots, without signification or mean­ing? Sorely not nntil tbe masses become intel-

lligently educated; and with this Impulse the [writer is solely actuated.

The big lad cried: “No fair," when tbe com-1 bined assault whs made upon him, and utteredl the begging challenge that If one wonld come at a time, he conld master the whole, he doubt­less told the troth. This Is just what tbe tyran­nical and Insolent monopolistic combinations of I

Icapital are saying to labor to-day throughout! [Christendom, and especially In this country.] The monopolistic corporations having secured the exclusive manipulation of the finances of the nation, aided by a venal, subsidized press and a horde of suborned and unprincipled leaders of the two dominant political parties, are enabled to circumscribe the progress that labor shall make and dictate to It tbe limit of its prodoc-1 tlon as well as that of Its consum ption.^

The only thing consolidated capital stands In] Ifear of to-day Is that labor will become edu- [cated to that point wherein It will become [united, and eschewing selfishness, will select) trusty leaders who will pilot It to the front as the dominant party where it belongs by right) of natural law; and right here we pick up tbe key that unlooks the door of this great mys­tery.

No one thing Is more apparent to tbe faithful student of nature than th is: that wherever the laws of nature are com plied with harmony and peace prevail; and, jxr (contra, wherever they are Ignored or disregarded and counteracted upon, then, of necessity, follows discord, de­moralization, and death; for nothing can sur­vive, in tbe long run, that wars against nature and her Irrevocable laws.

It Is evident that productive labor Is not sab- serving Its inate function In the economy of nature, otherwise this social upheaval which the world Is witnessing to-day and whose Intermit­tent pulsations has characterized more or less all generations of past ages, would not nor could not iie. Humanity has got to become consciously educated to the fact that nature and her laws are not to be trifled with, and that If we desire to see peace and harmony prevail, we must study soolal statics and so place all grades of society in consonance with nature's divine laws, that the wheels of human progress will revolve without molestation or grumbling dis­cord ; for they do, and will, continue to assert their power as strongly over the social rela­tions of mankind as In the government of phy­sical health, or even In the revolutions of the planets.

This being conceded, it becomes essential that mankind become educated In those principles that will tend to make them humbly submit to

PSYCHOMETRY.A Practical Illustration of Its Nature.

LEVI WOOD.

Sunday evening, February 17th, at llurlburt’s Hall, in the village of Sooth Haven, Mich., Dr.

Im. F. Hammond delivered an able and forcible [lecture under the control of Invisible intelli­gences. After being fully entranced, the sub­ject was given him from the audience. It w as: “What Are tbe Scientific Proofs of a Continuous Life, and tbe Return of Spirits After tbe Death of| tbe Body, and What Consolation Does It Offer in the Hour of Bereavement?” The speak­er asserted that all manifestations In nature .

[could be scientifically demonstrated: that so- [called death was but a liberation of the spirit, and only a temporary separation, and necessary for growth and development.

After the close of the lecture, Mrs. Levi Wood, > a trance medium, was called for to give some < psychometric readings. A number of articles were handed her by entire strangers, and from < those she read correctly, to the satisfaction o f .

[all, the leading characteristics of those that ] presented them. Bat the most wonderful—th s 4

[culminating event of the evening—was when a j small piece of the Ill-fated “Chicora” was placed j

jin her band without any previous knowledge-of H It being present. She ottered a shriek of de- | spair.and then began to describe the sensations J

| In a thrilling manner—o f cold water, of Ice, of fl tossing, rolling, shrieking, drowning, sinking 3 down, down, to be in the cold water and ice, ^ with high, rolling.waves and shrieking winds. !

[After a few minutes the control stated be must I [withdraw from tbe medium, as the awful con- jfl | ditlon and sensation thrown npon the medium s were beyond description.

Also on the day previous to this, while at a I social gathering at the home of S. G. Sheffers.a.S piece or “Chicora” was placed In her hand, with­out any previous knowledge, and the conditions 9 then thrown npon tbe medium at that time were thrilling and heart-rending Indeed, m o r e ! marked and vivid than the one that fo llo w e d ! the next day, and it brought tears to tbe eyes ■ of those present, and the control was asked to a withdraw from the medium.

And also a few days previous to tbe above. .£ Captain Lew Mathews, of the life-saving sea- I: tion at this port, sent for the medium to visit 9 his home, and when fully entered, n piece «f the “Chicora" was placed In her hand. She I manifested the same awful conditions and sen- 1 sationa as has been described—also telling t b a ! condition of the boat at tbe time o f tbe disaster, B the disabling of the engine, being left to the f l mercy o f the wind, and also the rate of aii oa board; also Its present location at that time, a

Q n s.—i’B. L. 1L. Eagle (irove. Iowa.) Why did John teach baptism, and why was Jesus bn-

. mereed?| Axsl—The ancients considered baptism to be I an act of publication and of sanctification. Water being a symbol of purity, of cleanliness, and of power. Water, too, was an emblem of life, o f growth, of fructification to the ancients, therefore it became a natural set for the apos­tles of the new dispensation to sanction bap- i tlsm. Forms and ceremonies had been an bn-: portant part of old religious rites. It was not possible for a new religion to arise that would

1 be free from such observances, immersing the devotee or the aspirant to ministerial or other religious offices In water gave to him a new consecration in the eyes o f the people. It was also the symbol of the purer life o f the spirit from which all things spring, and It was the | external sign of a consecration of personal

And we look for a new influx of glory and light to come to earth through Spiritualism, which we expect to see gaining an impetus and power which will ena­ble it to sweep forward with undaunted might in its battle for truth. We do not expect to see a sadden awakening, or activity In any line which we have pointedont—the quickening pro­cess is going on silently all the while—nor do we look for the perfection of thought and of adjustment in these directions^ the early days or the new century, but we do anticipate the establishment of new lines and standards in the dawning ^of the year nineteen hundred, as the result o f the labors and agitations o f the past, the works and the unrest of the present, and the transitionary period through which the world is passing at this time. The people of this age will reap good results from this state o f things in attaining a larger capacity for thought, a higher sense of Justice, a broader conception of freedom, together with the con­sciousness that they have been a part of the age; have helped to make its conquests and have lived to lend an influence and a power to the advancements of the world.

Ques.—; R. P. J.] Does electricity that is gen­erated by batteries or galvanic belts associate with the vital magnetism of the human body and give it power to restore health? Please give us your opinion, as there Is much said and written on the subject?

Axs.—No doubt in many cases (not In all, for there are instances where the application of electricity as mentioned has no apparent effect upon a patient, and other cases where the suf­ferer in injured thereby) the patient Is bene-1 tiled by the electrical current which stimulates the vital forces o f his system and quickens its circulating fluid. Electricity thus applied, by arousing activityjof the circulation,gives added strength to the various organs; assists them in properly performing their functions, thus en­abling the system to discharge Its waste mat­ter through the excretory channels and by the orifices of the skin, and thus aids the organism1 to take up a new supply o f oxygen and vital! magnetism from the atmosphere. Therefore, In cases where electricity is adapted to the system ; much benefit Is derived from its absorption; It certainly does assimilate, under such circum­stances, with the magnetic forces of the patient, und becomes an agent of restoration and vigor for the hitherto debilitated frame.

Ques.—[Calla R. Harcourt, Chestnut, 111. Can Father Pierpont g ive us any explanation of the following? Three persons, by breathing in unison three times and then bolding their breath, are able, with two fingers of each hand, to lift one of their number from the ground and carry him as easily as if be bad suddenly lost two-thirds of bis w eight; this condition lasting only so long as no one breathes. (Once in the writer’s experi­ence the conditions were so perfect that we were able to run quite a distance with the re­cumbent body of the subject, who, though a large person, became as light as a bundle of clothes.) Is our own strength increased or the weight of the subject decreased? Is there any relation between this and the levitations o f the

lllttle hope, however, of effecting relief to a pa-l Itient In that way. A person who is obsessed la] a seitoiu>o auu Jnguiy »uscepubie to psycho­logical influences. The atmosphere of a re­treat for the insane is full of discordant and conflicting elements, not to speak of the earth- bound spirits who may be attracted to it. The sensitive, who Is already under the dominion of one or more obsessing spirits who feed upon his magnetic forces like parasites, and who prey upon his organism for their own amuse­ment, will be likely to become confirmed In his weakness, and be made even less able to resist the encroaching power, if introduced Into an asylum or hospital than he was before. Such a f­flicted persons should be surrounded by loving care and harmonious associations. Their home life should be pleasant and comforting,Their companions pure minded, sensible and of suffi­cient positive power'to extend magnetic sup­port to the obsessed, while firmly hot mildly presenting a resistant attitude to the obaeasor. Magnetic treatment, with hypnotic suggestion applied by a skilled healer, is very beneficial in in cases o f obsession.

Ques.—J. D. Mahler, New York, wishes to know what effect the use o f tobacco has upon the development of meditunshlp?

Axs.—We do not think the use of tobacco is ever beneficial to the human system. Its effects are deleterious. It certainly would be o f little service In the development of mediumship; It might retard tbe activities of those occult powers, which, when In operation, constitute medial expression. We should never recom­mend the use o f tobacco as an aid to medial un- foldment.

Ques.—[L. Manger, Buffalo, N. Y. * Please tell os why some mediums are developed In from three to six months, while others have to sit for

las many years?Axs.'—Some plants reach tbe flower-bearing

period In a few weeks, others are of slow growth and development. All are subjected to natural law. Tbe nature of some persons is such that their powers bloom much more quick­ly than others. Temperament, environment, and many other things may have much to do with it. The development of those who teem to have been nnfolded In medial power In a very short time, inny have been going on for years in a quiet way, while that of others may have been suppressed, and Is only needed tbe quickening forces o f tbe seance-room, or of newly acquired conditions to bring It Into ex­pression. One can not always judge correctly by merely surface Indications.

QuEri.-The same writer sa y s: My wife and I have been sitting two years. At one time we received raps, when asked for, and when not called for. Now we get no raps at all. Please explain?

Axs.—We judge that tbe magnetic forces of these friends are so fully used up in their dally avocations, and perhaps by tbe demands of tbe body that there Is none for tbe service o f the attendant spirits. Without material the Invisi­bles can not demonstrate their presence. If there is no nerve aura, no magnetic element for their use they can not manifest. We would ad-

Midnight Warnings.MARION LIKWOOli.

The following stories were told me by a gentleman whose veracity, I believe, has never been questioned.

'One night as I slept a voice distinctly said to m e: ‘Your Aunt Abby will die In your bouse.’ In the morning tbe words flashed vividly across my memory, and 1 marveled much at the state­ment, for at this time my Aunt Abby—my father's Bister—was making her home with two unmarried sisters of mine, and bad made her home with them for years. Both of my sisters were well and hearty and both younger than 1. Not only this, but my Aunt Abby was about ninety years old, and I knew she could live but a short time at beat, and as she had for years made her home with my sisters, why should she be transferred to my borne to die?

1 went to bedithat night with a little anxiety lest I might be again told the same story, and sore enough the words came to me distinctly again: “Your Aunt Abby will die in your bouse.’

Jesse came to where the music-box was lying on tbe floor, wound it np, talked to his papa, and went back. A beautiful spirit, one of the band, Emma Hurst by name, came out and played a piece on the xither for each, one in tbe circle, the sitter holding the Instrument and selecting a favorite piece of music for her to play, thus necessitating the spirits to stand close to each sitter while playing. Dr. Pomeroy, our son’s wife's father, and our Jesse each lighted a match, and holding It before their faces walked

loot In the room so that we could all plainly see [their countenances.

This Is but a slight sketch of what I saw. Each one could write as much more. I thought to try to remember it all, but each succeeding] manifestation was so surprisingly grand that it seemed to crowd out the preceding one, and so I have given but a slight sketch of what oc­curred. While eating dinner one day of theirl visit tbe large dining-table began to move, anflj I thought it rude that one could not eat without moving the table.|But I soonjbecame aware that it was no mortal, but the invisibles who were moving it. At my suggesting that tbe medium had eaten enough the end of the table at which he sat moved away from him, but at my request returned, and so be finished his dinner. Then the doctor and our son, weighing 200 pounds, took hold of tbe table, but could not bold it, as they were drawn, olialrs and all, on the carpet.!

This Is but an Imperfectly written sketch of] what occurred In our home, and If it will be any benefit to Dr.Rothermel by calling Spiritualists’ attention to the doctor’s excellent qualities as a medium, to his slnoerlty and honesty as a I man, without a doubt to its genuineness, or if any reader will be interested In reading It, I shall be sufficiently paid for the little trouble to me In writing It.

In dosing I wish to say a word for our mediums; they who stand between us and our loved ones In the better land; they should be treated as the choicest of God’s blessings. What happiness they bring; what consolation In onr greatest griefs. Let us treat them kindly and tenderly, as the bearers of “tidings from over the river.” iJust think o f the Insults, and scoffs, and sneers, and all of the conditions they submit to. and then the constant cry of fraud that constantly assails them from every aide. Spiritualists, let us be more Intelligentand there will be less cry of fraud.

“My Aunt Abby has been moved Into my home and will die there.”

Since the above story was told me this gentle­man has buried bis Aunt Abby from his own home.

Here is the second story from the same (source:__i‘A very valuable diamond shirt-button was[raffled here in town. The tickets were one [dollar each, but as the stone was valued at $300 the winner would make a happy investment of |hla money.■ B e in g opposed to gambling myself I did not [Invest in a ticket, nor would I have done so bat | for a warning in my dreams.■ F o r three successive nights I was told: 'Purchase ticket No. 7, and yon will draw the diamond shirt-button.’

“Now, mind yon, it was but a few days before the drawing was to come off that I bad my last | dream, and I doubted very much if ticket No. 7 [would yet he left for Bale.

“However, the day following my last dream I strolled Into the place where the tickets were sold, and said: ‘Have you ticket No. 7 left yet?’

“ ‘Yes,’ said the gentleman in charge, ‘No. * has not been taken.’ And so I bought it and walked out, and from that hour until the draw­ing came off 1 was folly confident .that 1 held the winning card In my pocket.

| “And sure enough I did; when the drawing came off I wasn’t there, but next day a friend hailed me on the street, saying: 'Did yon know you were lucky enough to win that diamond?'

“ ‘Yes,’ I said, T knew that I would win It although j ou are the first to tell me that I have won It.’ Anfi then I told him of my midnight visitant and strange admonition, as a result of which I invested a dollar in a ticket, and how after the purchase I was folly confident that the diamond was mine. Yet If ticket No. 7 was sold I would not take any other.

“But who told me In my dream that I would be lucky enough to draw tbe stone? And who warned me that my Aunt Abby would die In my house?

“Do the spirits of the dead hover around us and tell us strange things sometimes? And have they a knowledge of all future events which will transpire ou this mundane sphere of ours?”

Io this Western Bethlehem was then horn to the world a princi­ple which, like a radiant point In tbe celestial vault, has poured millions of meteoric showers of love and promise npon humanity Here was laid down a munificence equal to the needs of the human n e e forever. Here tbe bond and the I free could mingle together without stipulation.] With one fell sweep the heavenly iconoclast brushed aside the picture of every Dives and] Lazarus and brought them all within tbe coral pass or love and progress. But this great pro-1 cession of munificence came without tinsel and sounding- brass, so the world, the flesh, and the devil looked upon it in derision and departed with sneers. Before this cradle the splendcra of the Orient became dim, and wise men tnrned; to behold the star in the West. And the Magi journeyed hitherward, the chemist brought his crucible, the sage brought Us philosophy, the Church brought Its fables^md the world brought its scorn. Educated ignorance came and trans­formed the solved Into the unsolvable by twist­ing an omnipotent law to fit the rap pings of an abnormal toe Joint. Here at this shrine wisdom ran amuck, coined a phrase to convey the thought that n mind bereft of sense can perform greater marvels than a mind conscious, and so It was called unconscious cerebration. Here, too, came profound professors, men who could repeat "Thanatopeis" with as little thought as a phonograph, aad account for an Infinite Dis­pensation in fifteen minutes, but who never could account for the wide hiatus 'twixt what they knew and what they thought they knew Here, also, came benign theologians with hearts so filled with the love of God that there was no room lo them far the love of man, and they wit­nessed these miracles of the spirits and then related many bald and unconvincing narratives about the devil and the new tricks he was ploy­ing to lore men to perdition. Here, too. came the poor, the lowly, the bereaved, and the de­spairing. They could not understand the pro­cess which transubstantiates the body of Jesus into the divine sacrament, bnt they could un­derstand tbe language of their loved and lost calling to them from beyond the vortex of death- And where are these monumental hyp­ocrites who tried to belittle and throttle tbe grandest rellgio-philosophy ever known to man? We do not find their names upon anything that interests the world to-day. The march of events have swallowed them, their names and memory, as completely as a maelstrom drinks In the froth and wreckage of the ocean. But there was an Edmonds, a Mapes, a Hare, a Wright, a Sprague, a Denton, a Brittan, an Owen, a Forster, a DupraeL a Zoellner; these came, too

I the grave. Intelligent activity In another world, and kindred subjects, than aU the histo­ries and publications, theories, speculations, and treatises of aU the centuries past. The lit lerature of Spiritualism, which records these Jfacts, giving multiplied instances, well authen fticated, of spirit manifestations identical with those of ancient days as produced by the olden prophets, and by Jesus at a later date, should be widely circulated among Christians who know bnt little of our cause. Papers like the L ig h t o f T ru th should be put into the homes of ministers, deacons, and laymen that these good people may see that this Spiritualism they have been turning away from Is the very truth and the very life which Jesus came to bring to light. Spiritualists can accomplish a great re­formatory and instructive work, in this very direction, by sending their literature on these subjects to some of their Church friends, that they may gain a knowledge of tbe truth that shall at last make all men free.

ELECTRO-GALVANO PLASTER.

This is the only plaster containing such medicine as is | adapted U> the euraof the durasr frrr which It Is worn. The remedies contained in each plaster are sent into the diseased tissue by a galvanic current, generated by the battery. For example, in Dyspepsia, the dyspeptic plast er is applied over the stomach, and iu medicine mat into the wall* o f the stomach, intervening between the alami- num electrodes on Ibe inside of the plaster.. The remedies Incorporated in ihe£ neuralgic plaster are by the same force carried u> the sheath o f the painful nerve.

In a sluggish or diseased liver, appropriate medicine la sent into the organ, and soon creates a natural accretiono f bile.

In Lumbago. Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, pains In the chest, ovaries aad other organs, the disease is soon re­moved by specific medicines conveyed into the diseased part.

Each plaster with Its electrical attachments and dif­ferent medicines, cost twice as much a« any other well- made plaster, yet sold at the same price. Kach contains the most approved medicine for the cure of the disease named on the plaster.

T hey ca lled th is one down to earth and! through som e arrangem ent overshadowed] a m aiden, and through her produced another god^ a lso a m y th ; for Mary and Jesus both pro- claim ed that Joseph w as the law ful father jo f th e one in question .

—The First Society o f Bible Spiritualists met last Sunday at their hall as usual at 3 p. m. It was a day marked “special” for a special pur­pose. to celebrate the iTth Anniversary o f Mod­ern Spiritualism, a great event, which has lifted the world oat of sinmber. made man think for himself, and made him conscious o f a future life. I f man then lives forever, be will make himself known. Modern Spiritualism is the re­sult. Its anniversary was a gala day for our society. An intelligent audience had gathered, which was in foil harmony with the day. and

T H E W O N D E R O F T H E A O E .I the cause was represented on the rostrum by , two true exponents o f it. which are an honor to 1 Spiritualism and to the angel world. The meet- ! I log was opened with instrumental music by

Mrs. Boas and Prof. Cook, piano and violin, which was highly appreciated by the audience. The invocation was given by Dr. Mary Gebauer,

I after wh'ch the speaker o f the day, Mrs. K. 8. I Lillie, was introduced. This lady, as usual, handled her theme In a most eloquent manner, dwelling on the history o f Modern Spiritualism and presenting the Innumerable facta upon which Spiritualism is founded, comparing the orthodox religion and its many creeds with Spiritualism, which has no creed but facts alone occurring daily. She also compared the phe- nomena, which an? recorded in the Bible, with

1 the phenomena o f modern times and the differ- J ent phases o f mediumship, stating that I*i time t to come phases will develop o f which w e have no idea at present. She also paid a glorious trib­ute to the National Spiritualists' Association J and how hard It was to organlie Spiritualists.

—Prof. Gropp gave an entertainm ent a t Lin­coln Inn Court Sunday evening, March 31st. The modut operandi was reading from natural flowers. Mr. Grupp was very successful in all his tests, reading the lives o f everyone who handed in their flowers, and g iv in g one hundred qualified tests, which were responded to by the recipents w ith heartfelt gratitude. tV. Y. Ni- cum gave the invocation and w as followed by Mrs. Eva Sagmaster Pfnntner, who used for her snbject, “Do spirits retain their identity?” and w e must say our pen is too feeble to convey to the readers o f this notice the interest and per­fect peace that hovered over the entire audi­ence. It was magnetism pure and undisputed. Hrs.Cbapin presided at the piano and her son Ar­thur delighted the entire audience with b is m el­ody. Miss Lucy Shannon assisted. Tbe m eet­ing will be repeated next Sunday afternoon and evening.

—One o f tbe pleasantest echoes o f the Union Society anniversary celebration is tbe supper and social that took place tbe evening following tbe Sunday event. Banquet Hall, o f the new Odd Fellows Temple, was enhanced in its own beanty by the brilliant array o f handsome cos­tumes. sm iling faces, happy youths, sensitive maidens, pretty children, and their respective floral decorations. The Ladies’ Aid served a sapper to early comers that was superb and substantial, well impregnated with the magnet­ism o f w illing hands and benevolent hearts. The music was enchanting to the sensations of dancers, and inspired them to renewed efforts in following the motion o f the musicians’ magic strains. Tbe various com mittees did their doty, and thus it is believed a financial success has been achieved. Thus ended a glorious com­memoration, with a glorious chapter recorded In the annals o f a Cincinnati society.

—Tbe First Christian Society o f Spiritualists met at Academy Hall, corner o f Seventh and Walnut streets. Sunday a t 10 30 a . m. and 3 p. m. Tbe celebration o f tbe Forty-Seventh Anniver­sary of Modern Spiritualism wa3 appropriately conducted. In the morning service we were

They both did so re­markable w ell that w e m ust continue the ap­plause given them by the audience at every e f­fort made. Miss Tfilinghast accompanied on the piano with her usual grace and m asterly touch.

One pretty feature which attracted the a t­tention o f everyone upon entering the hall was an Immense bunch o f beautiful calla lilies on the rostrum. At the close o f tbe Invocation the speaker, Mrs. Lillie came in rapport w ith them, and sent forth a beautiful poetical improvisa­tion concerning them. In this poetical wreath was woven the honored name o f Mrs. Elizabeth Ruffin Brown, o f Santa Barbara, Cal. I t was then revealed that this good friend o f the Union Society had remembered it on its anniversary occasion and sent these calla lilies as a token o f affection, and as a m ite In tbe plan o f decora­tion. President Loveys expressed his gratitude In the name o f the society and hoped that tbe friends would reciprocate with kindliest wishes. A cheer arose from the old workers when it was learned whose loving hand had sent tbe floral gift.

An expression o f thanks was also given out in behalf o f a ll who aided the Union so c iety in making the anniversary o f 1805 such a glorious su ccess.,

In the Spring o f 1898 I had a desire to writel oat this experience for the Psyekical /frriVtrJ pablished In Boston, the organ o f the American Psychical Research Society. Bat before doing so I wanted to get those two questions an­swered, thinking that I then should have a com* piete story, or as mach of one as It was likely to obtain after all these years. But howl should I accomplish It? My opportunities for | consulting good mediums were very rare.Hj studied over it for some time, and then d m mind reverted to a medium o f wonderful pow-| er, with whom I had accidentally (If t b e r e | any accidents) become acquainted a few] months iprevioos. This medium—once promi­nently before the pabllc as such—has been bid­ing his ligh t under a bushel for years, and only now and then a privileged one may obtain the benefit o f his truly wonderful powers—and be does not work for pay, and is, therefore, nei­ther a professional nor a “commercial” medium,] and, inasmuch as he absolutely refuses to have! bis name g iven to the public, he can not be said] to be working for fam e or notoriety. , He had! through automatic writing, answered qnes-l tions written within folded pellets, to m y en-l tire'Satisfaction; and I now determ ined to send! him a sealed letter, w ritten to m y a a eJe^ ad J see i f I eopJdjioC obtain what fc des w id lD tv y .i wrote the fo llow in g:

And was not the name intended to be Forbes Potter, in­stead? And were you killed by Indians, on your w ay to California many years ago?

Thursday, .Tune 1, UK.

This letter I copied so as to retain a dupli­cate, then folded it up, wrapped it in a piece o f blank paper, pat it in an unaddressed envelope —a sm all one—sealed the envelope, and placed a two-cent Colombian stam p over the point of the sealing place. Then I addressed a few lines to the medium, s ta tin g that the sealed envelope contained qaestions that I w as desirous of hav­ing answered through his mediumshlp, because I wanted a com plete chain o f evidence in a psy­chical or sp iritualistic experience, that I w as thinking o f w riting ont for the Psychical Re­new. I gave him no cine w hatever to the na­ture o f the qaestions, nor had he ever obtained the name ot th is relative In any possible man­ner from me, as I had never thought of him at all when I had the s ittin g that I have spoken of, in which the medium (whom, for the sake of convenience, I w ill call Mr. 0 .) answered qaes­tions w ritten w ithin folded pellets. I requested the return o f the sealed letter, as a m atter of coarse.

The fo llow in g Is a part o f the answer which I received :

“Chicago, III ., June 15,1893.“Mrs. E lla W ilson M erchant:

“Dear M adam : Yours o f June 1st forwarded me from home, daly received. Excuse the de­lay in answ ering. H ave attended the great World’s F air to the ex ten t o f neglecting e v ery ­th ing e lse . I s ta r t for home next Monday.

With this letter came my sealed letter, bear- | lag no appearance o f having been tampered I with. That sealed letter, along with a writ­

ten account o f the story up to a certain date, was sent to the secretary o f the Psychical Re-

1 search Society for examination, although, as I stated (and I expressed my regret that I had not foreseen and provided against such a con­dition^, I coaid not permit it be opened because it would disclose the identity o f the medium, and I was in honor boand not to disclose that. II merely wished them to see the condition in

Some w eeks passed away before I took an­other s te p ; and then I wrote again to Mr. OJ enclosing another sealed letter to my uncle, in which I claim ed the promise made in the above letter, that he would “explain all to me,” “pro­viding,” I said, “i t is in your power to make the promise good a t the present tim e.” And, In order to have the chain o f evidence as com plete as possible, I a lso wrote to Mrs. J. J. Whitney, to inquire a s to her having a guide by the name o f George. I had heard o f her guide, William H. Saulsbury, who claim s to hovabeen.executed for w itchcraft, daring (I think) the Salem craze.I bad also heard o f M ayflower; bat I had never heard o f G eorge; and I w as som ewhat in­clined to think there m ight be som e m istake about it .

A few days later I received a letter from Mr. 0 . The reader w ill please pardon m y seem ing egotism in quoting w hat I do from th is letter—I mean the reference to m yself. I quote It be­cause I believe it has a bearing upon th is nar­rative. In the ligh t o f a fter even ts, I am in­clined to think that m y m eeting, as I did, with! this mediam, and his calling a t m y home, were spirit-directed even ts, and that because they had a work for him to do, in connection with] m yself, did they so pow erfully im press him, onl the occasion he speaks of. H is letter, dated Au-| gust 8th, contained the fo llo w in g :

The strange condact he speaks o f was noth­ing more than a rather abrupt departure; bat as he was intending to leave town by train, I m erely thought he had suddenly remembered that it w as tim e to be going. But it seem s the Spirits desired to voice som ething through him to me-'

The next le tter I received from him bears the date o f August 17th, and contained the follow ­in g :

“There is some one that rushes in every tim e I try to g e t the information you desire. * * * M y control te lls m e a ll w ill be explained to you when w e m eet.

“I find out the bones you speak of In Arizona were n»i those of Forbes Potter. I will get you the entire story some day, not far distant.”

The letters now followed in rapid succession* October 12th he w rote:

“I will be in Los Angeles next month, but fear I w ill not be able to v isit San Bernardino. Can't you arrange It to v isit some of your friends in Los Angeles, so we can have n sitting together!1 think I have the story complete about the ad ventures of your uncle, but I have not been able I to control myself long enough to write it as it [should be told. * • *■ “Forbes Potter was murdered in Colorado^ near the Utah line, on the south branch of the Platte r iv er ; was killed by renegades from his party, assisted by Indians and Mormons.

“More—much more—when I see you.”| Here a new elem ent is introduced into the account, viz., Mormons. Comments thereon are reserved until later on. Bat for the foot that “more—much more” was promised, I should have thought the story was about all told. How* ever, I eagerly followed on, In the hope of ob­taining materials for som ething like a .verifica­tion o f the story. The com plete narrative was alw ays postponed until we should meet, and al­ways promised when that m eeting should be had. October20th, he wrote again: “I have the strong impression that, I w ill m eet yon when I go S ou th; then w ill try and be In con-j dition to g e t the entireistory from the uncle.” November 1st, “The entire story o f the unclft [will be told you soon through Ime.” November 119th, “My guide te lls me that I w ill see you,I * * Then w ill try and g iv e you the story of the Dncle.” |

I sent opt word to him that I would not attempt to build u p my journa 1 on the basis of sensational stories. He came in to see me, and I saw that he was

She went on to draw pathetic instances of the great consolation to be found In Spiritualism, especially as revealed In the evidence brought through mediums, from table rappings to spirit forms, all of which she maintained was scientific evidence o f immortality and actual life In the

[great beyond.■ ‘ Living In the hopes raised by these expecta­tions, human beings learn to conduct themselves rationally and beautifully in daily life.” Reviewing the work of Spiritualists in the last forty-seven years, she prophesied before the completion o f tbe half century the erection and maintenance of hospitals and homes conducted [for and by Spiritualists.■ T h e greatest success of the afternoon was [achieved by Mre. May S. Pepper, who was set down on the program for “delineations.” She is one of that class o f “test mediums” who pro­fess to be continually lo the presence of tbe spirits of those who have “passed out.” She is considered one of the best in her line. She speaks a Jargon, supposedly English, with a mixture of negro and Indian dialect. The “mes­sages” she “reached out” applied apparently in each case most aptly. She is very bright and quick in her sallies, and is never at a loss for a reply to an unbeliever. She kept tbe audience in roars of laughter, but unfortunately more than once some were moved to tears by tbe [messages she delivered to them from their ■braves” and “squaws.”I Odd Fellows’ Hall was elaborately and beaa- [tifully decorated, flags, bunting, and mottoes covering the walls at every point, while choice oat-flowers and potted plants added to the beauty of the scene. Tbe evening program con­sisted of invocations, speeches, songs, instru­mental music, recitations, delineations, poems, and readings.

On this occasion the chief discourse was de­livered by Moses Hull, who choc e his text from Mathew, “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which Is in heaven. The speaker held the rapt attention of the Immense andlence for an hour and a quarter with bis glowing de­pictions o f the value, work, and future o f Splr- litualism. At the close of tbe speaker's masterly [address, J. B. Hatch. Sr., moved that a vote of tbanks be tendered Mr. Hull for the able lectures delivered dusing March, which wAs unanimously. married by a tremendous and enthusiastic ■Mu*/"■ T h e readings o f Lucette Webster, Willie Shel- [don, and others were full of beauty and power. The exquisite rendition o f choice violin selec­tions morning and evening by Master Charles Hatch were greatly appreciated, and the read- ling o f a poem written for the occasion by Mre. Longley. and read by Master Eddie Hatch, was Imucn enjoyed. Tbe three little granddaughters . . Mr. Hull, the Misses Johnson, rendered a

Jbeautifnl violin trio, and their mother, Mrs. Florence Johnson,.gave a fine reading at the evening session. During tbe morning service Mre. M. E. Cadwallader made appropriate re­marks, voicing her Interest in the occasion, and speaking a good word for the N. S. A.

The Boston Globe in closing a lengthy report of the exercises states that the general [enter­tainment was of a high order.□ T h e following were tbe committee of arrange- Iments: W. II. Banks, J. H. Lewis, Mre. C. L. (Hatch, and J. B. Hatch, Jr.. A great Boston daily estimates that there must have been “over 3,600 persons present daring the day” at Odd Fellows' Hall.

But there were many other meetings In the city well patronized by the spiritualistic public. At Mr. Ayer's Back Bay Temple large con­courses gathered at tbe different sessions of the day. Mr. Colville lectured In his own inimitable

Spirit Pierpont‘s response.—The normal, natur- ' al craving o f one being In spiritual life may be entirely different from that of another. Sonls are not all o f one grade or pattern. The soul o f an artist craves to express Its power along one line of achievem ent; that of a stu­dent in other fields; that of a musician along another lin e ; of a scientist in still other di­rections, while a vast number o f human entitles, who are neither artlsts.musicians, literateurs.or scientists, as these terms are understood on

writers, as A. B. Obi ids, M. te lls ns that our affinity was born Into the spirit world at the same instant that w e were born into the physi­cal, thus never experiencing life in the material or mortal. Others whom w e know believe that they often communicate with their souls’ mate, whom they never met in this life , but who informs, through media, that they were once an inhabitant o f earth. Can Father Pierpont tell ns which Is probably right?

Ans.—As far as ice have learned—whatever may be the plan o f sonl-mating in other spirit worlds and planets—the counterpart o f a human being, who dw ells on earth, Is another ha- man being, clothed upon with spiritual attri­butes and possibilities, as are other human enti­ties ; that th is soul-mate has, or w ill at some time experience contact with m atter from be­ing born on earth and com ing into possession o f a physical body. E very individual does not meet the soul-mate while on earth. Many do not until years have passed after the spirits have both become freed from mate­rial environments. Yet no Individual life can be called rounded ont in experience nor advanced In activ ity and power o f achievem ent nntil it has met and become united with its counterpart. For in the blending o f the spiritualized forces and qualities o f the male and female who be­long to each other in the onion o f love and wisdom, Intnltlon and reason, perfectly adapted to each other and harmoniously conjoined! there Is a grandeur o f action and a perfection o f power never found In the single sonl, how­ever useful and talented the latter m ay be. The true anion o f the positive and negative e le ­ments and principles bring abont in human life a nobility o f strength—mental, moral, and physical that is sim ply grand. There are cases where these sonl-m ates m eet and become united on earth. In such unions there is no conscious­ness on either side, o f som ething lacking In the social life , home life , or spiritual atmosphere. The two liv e and love together, learning, grow­ing, becoming sw eeter and dearer to each other as the years go by. Making m istakes, perhaps, bat rectify ing them ; straggling w ith condi­tions, bat overcom ing them, and all the while unfolding In beauty and power o f spirit. Of course every male and female possesses some­thing o f the elem ents o f love, wisdom. Intui­tion, reason—some more or less o f each quality, bat none are perfect In these essentials to hap­piness and power until the two halves become mated whole.

Phillip Fox, of Kalamazoo, Mich., writes:”1 think It my duty to send you a few facts'ln

Now 1 am Investigating, as I bad th e1 props knocked from under roe, through the me- dlumshlp of F. Elmer Piei ce, wbo at first refused to give me a sitting. But he took a slip of paper and wrote a name, folded It up, and sealed

Who can explain this by any magic theory? Remember he wrote his first, and by some influ­ence over me, I was Just chump enough to write the same thing—why I can not tell.

career. But It does not follow that a person changes In desire, appetite, and line of thought merely because he slips off the mortal coil any more than he, of necessity, changes In any of these things, because he throws off his over­coat, or steps Into another room.

Q.—“Do you have in your planes anything an­alogous to personal property?”

A.—“None o f tradesman sort.”Spirit Pierpont's response.—It is true that

property in the spirit world is, In a certain sense, held in common. A beautiful statue or painting, a lovely landscape, or a bit o f garden, Is not considered the exclusive property o f any one. bat the possession of all who can enjoy or appreciate it . In the spiritual country selfish- » * t does not maintain, therefore there Is a free exchange o f possessions between Its people. True, there are homes, domains, attractive ap­pointments belonging to individual souls, who have earned them by personal effort and achieve­ment, and no other spirit can claim or possess these things, because no one else has earned or fashioned them. Nevertheless the owners o f these fair estates do not hold them as private property in the way such would be held here, for any soul who could gain any enjoyment, comfort or help from these homes or posses­sions is welcome to share them. The in te lli­gence, whose inner life Is pare, humanitarian, full o f lofty plans for helpful work, finds open avenaes o f power and expression. The deeds o f such a sonl corresponded to the aspirations. From his or her personal aura elem ents o f beau­ty and stability may be gathered, which are woven in lovely textures, or fashioned into sub­stantial and beautiful objects. These are his possessions; they adorn bis home, beautify his person, and make his surroundings the means of gratifying h is aesthetic sense as w ell as af­fording comfort to every demand o f his d a t are. No one can rob the Individual o f these posses­sions; they are externalized from the ideals and spiritual powers o f bis own life and are a part o f him. On the other hand he can g ive o f bis labor, handicraft, and brain prodnetion to the enrichment o f other lives, who. In turn, w ill afford to him som ething that he may be pleased to receive, and which they have the power to give. In addition to th is the government which maintains there Is really “o f the people and for the people.” I ts directors o f affairs are men and women o f w ide experience, w ise judgment, and benevolent; a systen o f equity Is estab­lished, which looks to the common weal. The needs o f the humblest soul are considered in justice and love. The offices o f general affairs have no honors, no emoluments, after the man­ner o f earth, but they are conducted by the wise ones who are In the service o f the people, according to the highest law s o f advanced hu­man thought and judgm ent. Therefore we have no marts o f trade and commerce as distinguish the countries o f earth.

Q.—“What marks individual belongings on your side?” .

A.—“Craving personal belongings Is charac­teristic of your earthly experience.”

Spirit Pierpont’s response.—Individual belong­ings are the natural and Inevitable outgrowth of soul-power. Thus, a sp irit w orking for humani­ty generates an aura that is v italized w ith essen­tial elem ents o f spiritual stab ility and substance. These elem ents can be gathered by artisan spirits

It seemed to me there was an overpowering necessity for me to stop my car, and I obeyed the Impulse instantly without attempting to reason about it. I reversed the current and nearly pitched the conductor through the car, so quickly did I stand the car on end, as the boys say. The next moment I knew why I had) stopped, and you may bet I was glad that I did so. From right onder the front platform there crawled a little tot of a boy who ran screaming) to the sidewalk and disappeared around the corner. The little fellow had undoubtedly a t | tempted to cross the track directly in front of my car, and had I not stopped at the Instant I did he would certainly have been ground to pieces. No, I didn’t see him until he crawled out from under the platform, and I am willing to swear that I have told you the exaot truth about the matter. I can’t explain the Impulse that prompted me to stop'the car, and, ln fact, to tell the truth I didn’t have any choice about the matter, but just had to stop whether I wanted to or not.”—Columbus (0.)

The people o f St. Paris, 0 , had quite an awak­ening upon matters spiritual. Benj. Foster, physical medium, gave twe seances at the home of onr florist.

Mr. Foster’s cabinet consisted of a double curtain, the two being fasted together at the top, with a hole In the front one through which the medium sticks bis head daring the seance. He sits on a chair between the two curtains, with his hands bound to his lower limbs, and the knots sewed, and loose ends of bands also sewed to his clothes, thus making it im­possible for him to raise his hands or manipu­late the different instruments which are placed back o f the rear curtain. The cabinet ia usually placed across the corner of the room. Behind the rear curtain was placed a chair, upon which were laid a tambourine, two small hand-bells, several slates, pencils, and a writing tablet, besides several drum-sticks and a small hammer. In front of the front curtain were place a music- box upon a chair, also a trumpet. Materialized hands were shown as many as three at a time. The tamboorine was rattled and brought above the curtain, ar.d rolled over and over without any visible support. Messages were written, and the leaves of the tablet containing them torn off and handed out to the sitters by ma­terialized hands. The music-box was taken off the chair into the cabinet, wound up by the controls, and made to play tones with varia­tions which were not ln the ratchets. Tacks were called for, and one was driven Into the door, which was open, and behind the medium, after which the hammer was thrown out of the cablpet into the circle. Handkerchiefs were wet and passed to materialized hands which received them Into the cabinet, and soon afthr . they were thrown out again, With writing or drawings upon them. The chair was passed over the top of the curtains, and it required all of the writer’s strength to take it. The trumpet was then taken and a number of spirits spoke messages to their earthly friends who were present Flowers were also brought to the sitters. All of these manifestations occurred in a good light.

One little Inoldent deserves particular men­tion : a spirit, David Londenbaek, who was one of the best known men in Champaign County, manifested wltn a good deal of power. The writer sa id : "Do. you recognize me, Mr.Londen- back?" He Immediately responded by giving the writer's given name. The writer .then, asked: "Do you remember a conversation we once had upon Spiritualism?” He replied: Yes, and I thought you were a fool, but I thank

you for.it now; all Is progression.” Thus it seems that a few words upon this vital subject* spoken to an unbeliever, will be kindly remem­bered by him after transition.

The forty-seventh anniversary celebration of the Northwestern Spiritualist Association was a grand success, the hall o f the First Society being tilled to overflowing. In the afternoon we had a song service, conference, and tests. Many took nart, and It was very gratifying to see the mediums who are Just developing con trolled by the unseen forces, and voice their sentim ents through their organism. Mrs. Yaugh, Miss Davis, Mrs. W estfall, and a eoloret lad named Roberts, only fourteen years old, gave excellent addresses and recognisable tests.

Individuals he is cautious. On the whole, H. M. T. Is a very good sort of a person to know, de­spite his peculiarities.

Laura A. (X, Quitman, Mo.—This woman isf kind In disposition, thoughtful of others, and is well liked wherever she goes; she Is domestic in her tendencies, loves her home, and Is one who will sincerely sympathise with those In trouble.

L, M. H., Herm an , Me.—This correspondent says he would like a “full reading.’* There are so many waiting for their turns that It would be unjust to go Into all the particulars o f any single reader. L. M .ILis one who geta along veryw ellw ith m o s^ p eo p ie^ H ^ sp ra cn ciu and methodical, sympathetic and generous; his one great fault is an inclination to procrasti­nate, and he Is too apt to say or think that "to­morrow will do.’’ He is somewhat o f a dream­er, and builds castles In tbe a ir; he can not bear disappointments, but be keeps his feelings to I himself pretty well, and does not disturb oth­ers ; he appreciates favors, and renders assist-1 ance with a good will.

W. H. it , Des Mokes, Ll, impresses people very forcibly, and carries with him a magnetic power o f which be Is little conscious; state­ments of his have weight, and he can encourage or discourage a person completely; he Is of the nervous temperament, bat Is not necessarily nervous in his actions, being gifted with a large fund of philosophic insight and hope; be meets opposition with calmness, and never antago­nizes unless it Is absolutely unavoidable; be believes In qniet methods rather than in force, and while some would become very much ex­cited and angry at certain proceedings, he would show the greatest coolness and delibera­tion; there are times when he becomes an­gered, and when he does he is very much wrought np; he is a good business man, and gets along very well with tbe general ran of people, bat Is so sensitive that he can not bear to be in the company o f some even for a brief period; be is reliable, and tries to treat others as he would have others treat him.

T. A. W., Glendora, Ca l , Is one who Is distant with strangers, and hard to get acquainted with, but when he meets one In whom he can confide, and one be can trust, he Is a staunch

lone from bis friend.|__[ intelligent messages are received from tbosel habilitated with the flesh by the Intervention of a friendly disembodied spirit wbo acts as a

[messenger between the friends, and this, too,| although the absent one knows nothing of the occurrence; but the disembodied friend, com­prehending the situation, speaks to thedn ir- aodient ear of the medium. This may, of course, occur to the medium when alone.

Lastly, the medium may, annihilating space, view in d iv id u a ls a n d la n d s c a p e s th o u s a n d s o f m ile s a w a y , b y t h i s s u b t le a r r a n g e m e n t o f which d in g s to his companion as they m ay sp- p e a r t o n l f ^ n r S ^ u u n e s s o ^ i^ w i^ n a a iD e r as a iesu lt of some association which his sensi­tive soul has been subjected to at some previ­ous time. _______________ Mbs.

SPACE.ALONZO THOMPSON.

Space Itself is a wonderful thought, because Its nature is unthinkable In its entirety. No hu­man mind can comprehend it. No thought can equal It. It can only be measared by infinity or God. It can have no border or boundary, for boundary would occupy I t ; hence it is proven boundless. Sides, bottom, and top it has none. It Is compassed only by God—is as unfathoma­ble as God himself. I t could not but have ex­isted from tbe beginning, that Is, eternally. It could not have been hewed out originally, for the maker would have been compelled to have working room, and space itself would have fur­nished th is ; hence It existed before the maker.

In Its entirety, it Is a strange thought. The orbit of Arcturus is only a point in its Immen­sity . Distance measared by qnlntiUions of miles is insignificant. It is unfathomable as Deity him self; boundless, grand, and unap­proachable when we come to scan or measure it, wrapped in Its own immensity. Only a god can approach its fathomless dimensiens. It has one worthy handmaiden, and this Is Time—Its equal In the Infinity o f duration and its nearest of kin. Tbe two are equally related to God— another name for infinity.

ip to the present time bat little effort has keen made by Spiritualists towards organisa­tion. and the introduction of a thorough system

-Veteran Spiritual Cnlon" of Massachusetts and the National Spiritualists' Association, located at Washington, comprise about all that can la y ! claim to a permanent, comprehensive system upon which to build In the future.

And even these only foreshadow what most 1 follow before a broad, aggressive, self-sustain­ing system can be established upon the basis o f ethics and religion from the standpoint of Mod- j era Spiritualism.

The rapid advance that has been made within half a century in spiritual development, free . thought, and scientific demonstration, have left doobts in the minds of some conservative Spir­itualists as to the necessity or practicability of I . organisation or any attempt to system atise the teachings o f Spiritualism.

By referring to the constitution of the Na­tional Spiritualists’ Association It will be seen that “the object of said association is to prevent farther waste of spiritual and financial energy by the consolidation and organization ot spirit-1 oal societies of the United States Into one cen­tral, harmoniously working business associa­tion, for the establishment of new associations wherever possible, and the better education, equipment, and protection of lecturers, medi­ums, and other exponents of Spiritualism.”

That seems a comprehensive, although a rather indefinite purpose, and yet that is all that Is contained in the constitution of this as­sociation, beside providing for the election of officers,defining their duties, collecting revenue, etc. Now, so far as the National Association is committed, its duties seem to be limited to the “establishment of new associations wherever possible, and the better education, equipment, and protection of lecturers, mediums, and other exponents of Spiritualism.”

In carrying out these very worthy purposes it is difficult to tell just what limit the trustees of the association may define when attempting to educate, equip, and protect lecturers, mediums, etc.

While I am an enthusiastic supporter of the National Association, in reply to the question propounded, “In what way can Spiritualism best be promulgated?” it may be necessary to travel outside the objects enumerated in that constitution.

There is a wide difference in the minds of wise and practical Spiritualists to-day (many of whom are not members of this association) as to what is and what is not right or practica­ble, to be taught and practiced in Spiritualism.But there are many things in which all ought to agree. Among them is that of education.The common schools in America, where the sec­tarianism or theological doctrines are taught, ought to be unobjectionable la the ordinary branches of education.

In the classics and higher branches students of either sex should be educated In institutions where the principles of Spiritualism are recog- nixed if not taught. So, too, with young chil­dren under school ag e ; they should be kept oot ot trinitarian Sabbath-schools and educated In children’s lycenma under the direction and care of competent Spiritualist teachers.

This would, of course, Involve the building, from time to time, of sufficient number of col­leges or high schools to supply the demand of those that desire to enter the profession of spir­itual teachers, either as public lecturers or mis­sionary laborers.

I t Is presumed that there Is a sufficient num­ber of qualified members In all spiritual socie-

USEFUL CRITICISM , „To the Editor ot l.ionr o r T roth.

1 am glad to see such writers as W. U. Bach, Will C. Hodge, Dr. Dean Clarke, Moses Hull, Prof. J. S. Loveland, and others leading off in timely, temperate criticisms upon the abases and lax metnods so common in our ranks. Writers and speakers have wasted a good deal of time and energy in censorious criticisms of theology and the Church to the neglect of our own household. Not that all criticisms of sectarian methods and dogmas are vain or Improper, for there are yet mountains of darkness to be lighted by the ln-| tellectoal flashes from the advance guard of] spiritual free thought and radical reviews, but It is often over-done or done without any other object than to make a hit and a sensation, which usually takes with superficial audiences. Especially Is this a weakness when there are so many weeds in our own garden that are neg­lected. Bnt the critic that strikes home Is like­ly to lose laurels and win censure from, his friends, and illustrate the prophecy that “a man's foes shall be they of his own household.”

There are two kinds of criticisms; one cen­sorious, personal, and full of sarcastic bitterness, the other kindly, broad, generous, and just. The latter ought never to evoke emnlty or ill- will. but rather gratitude and effort to profit by the lesson.

Such is the nature of those referred to. The article by W. H. Bach, in Light o f Troth of March 16th, is a noble sample. “Let us have au­thority for any statement we make. Let us have facta underlying everything we do, and If we can not ran and jump le t us' walk.” This has the right ring. The old way of manufac­turing evidence to suit prejudice or caprice, or to make a point against a heretic and blind the pious people to the real character and force of

la erftie, a skeptic, or an opposing sect Is pass- ling away -has already passed away In a large area of religious life—and Spiritualists inherit­ing the old tendencies shoald welcome any crit­icism that brings them to their senses and to a | knowledge of their errors.

Brother Bach’s “Query that wants a reply” is In a good vein and to the point, and should be read and pondered by all who desire to be just and right in dealing with the world and Ite re­lations. “We have jumped at conclusions too long and too often,” expresses more truth than many may realize. Those most given to habit seldom know it. Hence the need of some critic to point It out and help them to correct It.

This habit of Jumping a t conclusions Is com­mon In all departments, and should be watched in dealing with psychic questions especially. Assumptions, guesses, rumors, myths, and mys­ticisms are orten accepted as demonstrated realities—scientific verities.

This tendency has so pervaded the spiritual­istic movement In its popular attitade, that critical thinkers and scientific students who take this superficialism as the criterion of spiritual characteristics, are repelled from It. and regard all we eay and do with distrust, and look upon us all as flighty, cranky, imaginary mystics and chaotic dreamers, we have a liberal representation of critical, accurate thinkers, writers, and speakers, bat the other class are more frequently taken as representa­tives, for they are most numerous, and usually

- 77— t he most noisy. There Is room for Improvement dies to furnish teachers for the necessary lyce- witj1 Qs ajj( and j,y un,eiy and Just criticism weurns If they will devote a few hours each week muy profit much and help each other to grow, to tha t very Important duty. | Lyman C. hob e.

I was whalebone. Many eqtrally interesting andl perfect experiments are recorded that g ive the reader quite correct ideas o f peychometry and its wonderfnl possibilities.

Now comes the question uppermost in the mind of the writer; to-wit. What relation to psycbometry per »t does the “psychometric read­ings” that are given upon our spiritual rostrums sustain?

I When from an indescribable mass of articles [placed upon the table to be “read”, the medium] selects an ivory whistle, one would naturally I suppose she would describe an elephant, andl say that the w histle was made from one o f its tusks, a s that would be psychom etry; bat in­stead, she says something like th is : “The par­ty who placed this whistle on the table is think­ing of making a change o f some kind—who brought this?” A young man says It is bis.

“Do yon, sir, think o f going away?”“I do not.”“Well, I see a change for you anyhow, and

they tell me it w ill be In a two something—two days, two weeks, or two months. They also tell

I me that yon have had some trouble recently [w ith a light-com plected man you are in busi­ness with, and that yon m ast beware or he w ill swindle yon. Do yon recognize that?”

The young man says be is not in any business! only looking for a job, and knows no light-com ­plected man.

“Well,” s a y s t h e m e d iu m , “y o n w i l l k n o w h im b e f o r e lo n g . Now I s e e y o n p e r f e c t ly a n d d i s ­

t i n c t l y s t a n d i n g b e f o re the m i r r o r b r o 9 h i n g | | yoar hair, nnd jo tL n r ^ M lllilf l^ jU m t CQflliPf i i »' to this meeting. The time is just twenty min­utes past seven. Is tha t true, sir?”

The young man bashfully admits that be did brush his hair and think of going to the meet­ing previous to being there.

“Is there any possible way I could have known that fact?” asks the psychometrist,and the gen­tleman instinctively pats his hand to his well- combed, cosmetised hair, but answers in the negative. The psychometrist looks pleased and, thanking the young man for recognizing the test, she picks up a silk glove and proceeds to psychometrize i t In a manner sim ilar to tha t of the whistle. Instead of describing the origin of the silk—tracing It back to the ugly worms —the cocoon and fluffy skein of natural silk, or if a kid glove, to the playful kid as it gambols on the hillside, the chances are that no refer­ence whatever will be made to the article itself, but a few generalities given, as applicable to one person as another, and then the question: “To whom does this article belong?” locates the person seeking a test, and the rest Is compara­tively easy for anyone of ordinary intelligence withoat the assistance or intervention of any disembodied spirit.

I To the psychic student and honest truthseek- er all this seems very confnslng and perplexing. There Is no doubt bat tha t the articles thus read form a connecting link of some kind be­tween the medium and the person to whom they belong; bat is It fair to call it psychometry when no reference is made to the thing psychome­trized? And again, if our spirit friends are a t­tracted to as through a pocket handkerchief or a glove, what is the law back of i t all? The writer has known mediums to ask persons in a private circle to give them some article to 'read” in order to give tests. Now, why conld

not the medium get just as much “magnetism” from the Individual by taking his or her hand as by taking a glove and turning It wrong side out In order to get the personal magnetism of the wearer of the glove? If It Is absolutely necessary for a medium to come In contact with something belonging to an individual before giving a communication from a spirit, where Is the Independent medlumship we hear and read about?

If the communications purporting to come from spirits, as Is claimed by platform medi­ums, are really such, why Is It that they deal In such vague generalities, such nonsense, and trash? Why do they not, occasionally a t least[ give a test of Iden tlty -a name, except Mary or John, or something pertaining to the spirit world of an instructive and elevating character? We do not claim that a l l public mediums resort] to the above-mentioned methods. There are a few grand, genuine spirit mediums who can go before an audience and, without any aid from material things, give unmistakable evidence of spirit return and intelligent communications; but the great mass of the other kind—what la it—psychometry, guess work, charlatanism, or what? ! ■
