“ I have a plan which I will disclose to y o u ,” said Mra. G rant. “ Last week while, on B y visit to Lady Alice, 1 took the oppor­tunity to also visit the Convent S t Mary for this special purpose.

around in wonder a t the strange room, and tried to rise, bu t could not on account o f tho queer, dizzy feeling in her head; and who waa th is »(range being aitting by her bedside?

••W here am I? ” »he enquired faintly.• Inside the Convent S t M ary," aaid » kfnd

and p ity ing voice.“ In a convent? N o! you m ust be mis­

taken, said lite bewildered Hermoine. “ How came ] here, and who are you?"

“ I? I am the nun. S ister Agnes. T he

that look of hopeless despair see »gala the outside of Uicsr u s i Vou m ust learnniag, or all hop*counted a sin to be o ther than g loom y."

llcrm oine looked at bvr in wonder Per- hap» ahe bad become insane from slaying so long in Uila dism al place, and despair filled her heart. Who waa th is Ulster Agnes? An«i why did she talk so strangely? ltarbaps she could not help her to recape after all.

“ I will go now ," said th is strange nun. “ I have other duU et to perform , but 1 will come again, anil you shall walk in tho garden with me, and we will read some of the prayers of the holy saints Then she went away, lock­ing the door after her.

Poor Hermoino threw herself upon the ?>ed and wept and aobtied M tterlv. Was this to tw tho end o f all her b righ t hopes o f happiness? I t looked so now. I t seemed as if sorrow u |« o sorrow was living |«mr»d upon her, and the Burrowing g irl thought th a t she was never to know happiness again.

A bout the m iddle at tho forenoon the nun I returned, and telling Hermoine to follow her,I they went th rough a hall and so ou t in to the I garden. The nun carried two books in her

Strange hand.

W o will appear to lie reading very d iligen tly , if any o f the

“ B ut you will not attem pt th a t," said Mrs. Maybew, amazed a t this bold plan.

“ B u t 1 will; I am determ ined th a t • Tue Beech« 1 shall belong to A rth u r some day. I will not be thw arted by th is obstinate g ir l l A ll I ask o f you is to keep silent. I sew the Lady Superior, and told her a t what tim e I would bring May Brent, for, o f course, ■ would not be foolish enough to tell Herm oine7»] rightfu l name. 1 to ld her the g irl's mind ha l become unsettled by the loss o f her father, end 1 wished to place her in tom e quiet retreat for her recovery. She said she would gladly lindenq l^ - th e uUatge-of the girl for a certain •win? which 1 have paid, and I am sure she w ill do my bidding I told her to allow H er­m oine all the privileges she could, bu t not to •How her to escape. A t the end o f six months I will go to see her, and find ou t the condition o f her mind, and------ "

Mre. Morely G rsn t did not finish the rest of her thoughts audibly, b a t a cruel sm ile was <>n her lipe. H er thought was: “ A nd unless she does as I wish, never shall her face be seen again. 1 will see to that. ’

N either did she tell all her conversation with the Iju lv Superior, b u t it is safe to say th a t these two worthies understood each o ther well.

Mrs. May hew fe lt th a t this was a bold plan indeed, and If ever found out there wonld be a terrible day of reckoning for the conspirators So g rea t was the evil influence o f her m other over her mind, th a t Mrs. Maybew failed to see the terrib le wrong she was doing. “ Xo harm could really come to H erm oine," she thought, so she «tided the voice of conscience, and eased her m ind by thinking tha t surely it w ia not such a terrible fa te for a g irl to m arry an elegant man like A rth u r T ren t, and much more suitable, to her mind, than a poor mao like E rastua Noble M editating thus, she consented to say nothing of her m other's plans, and was thankful th a t Sophia was away from home, •'tor nothing of th is kind would escape bar sharp eye*," her m other thought.

A t the tea-table they ell appeared to 1« very kind to the gentle girl, so that she thought they had forgiven her refusal o f A r­thur, and ahe was afraid she had unjustly con­demned them . Could ahe only have known the tlork deceit and treachery th a t their smik-s concealed sbe would have shrank from them in

and loathing. They proposed th a t she early in order to be refreshed fo r her

Hermoine retired and was soon in a sound . too sound to be natural. Mrs. G rant

looked into her room, and seeing the effect o t the d rug she had adm inistered, said: “ Ithink your journey will be in an opposite direction from what you planned, my fine lady ," and, s a ilin g grimly, th is worthy lady took her departure.

A s soon as the household was asleep Mrs. G rant p a t together a portion of H erm oine's wanirol«e, end pu tting on her outer garm ents and arraying herself in like manure, this schem ing lady sat down and waited.

••K»c»pe? " said Ihe nun. “ To escape from th is convent is not so easy; wait till you have l*en here long enough to feel its terrib le power. J h iv e been here ten long y care, and have not escape 1 y e t."

“ Do you wish to ? '' asked Hermoine.“ H uih! there comes the Lady Superiors

do no t sp eak ," and she commenced to count her beads, apparen tly unconscious of any th ing else, so absorbed waa she in her devotions.

The door opened and the Lady Superior cam e in, and, seeing lle rm o inc awake, said: “ I will send you your b reakfast soon. S ister A gnes will be your a ttendan t, and 1 warn you any a ttem pt to escape will be fru itless. Vou will have the privilege of w alking in the g a r­den twice a day with S ister A gnes. \V e can tru s t th is n o n ,” and sho looked sharp ly to where sa t the s is te r d iligen tly perform ing Iter devotion. “ A more devout s is te r is not found inside the convent walls. A t o ther tim es you will stay in th is room. Your au n t is very an x ­ious th a t you should be restored to you r righ t mind, and 1 th ink th is qu iet re trea t will prove beneficial to y o u ."

Do you intend to say you th ink me in ­sane?" said H erm oine. "1 am not, indeed I am not. I am w ealthy; let me go back to my It «me, and I wi I pay you w ell." Poor Her- mulue. you m ight have appealed to a rock as well as th is grim periOD, and m et with as m uch success.

“ J u s t as she said— im agines her fa th e r is a m an o f w ealth ,” thought the Lady Superior.

I believe the old say ing— ‘a bird in Ihe hand is worth two in the b u sh .' I f she is w ealthy, to much the Getter th a t sbe stay here ."

“ I will no t argue the m a tte r ," said the L ady Superior; “ you have my orders, and S ister Agnes will seo th a t they are obeyed, and I warn you not to incu r my d ispleasure, and, going from the room , she closed the door.

H erm oine was filled w ith des|>air. W as there, indeed, no escape from th is d readful prison? W as she to spend all her young life in this dism al place, never to see again her dearly-loved home? How cruel and wicked it was in them to place her am ong these aad- looking nans, where all was so gloom y, when her life «hould be filled w ith joy and bappi- neaa. A s in a vision she saw it all, and knew why she was b rought there. W ould they keep her here her whole life long? Terrible thought! Sbe th o u g h t o f E rasure, her lover; would she never see him again? W ho would th ink of ever looking fo r her here, when she was supposed to be away oo foreign shores? Poor, helpless girl, her heart sank within her and she buried her face in her hands, and sobbed in g rie f and despair.

Suddenly she fe lt a hand tonch her, and looking up saw the nun gazing a t her, and a tray of refreshm ents in her hand. “ You m ust e a t," she aaid. H erm oine was too sad to ea t m uch, so she partook very sparing ly of w hat was se t before her, and pushed the tray aside.

“ T ell m e,” aaid H erm oine to the nun, “ do you believe me Insane?"

The nun looked thoughtfu lly a t her for sev­eral m inutea before replying, then said : “ Xo,1 do not, I believe you have been foully dealt w ith .”

Herm oine sprang forward with a glad cry. “ Ilu sh t” aaid the nun; “ walls have cars.

I t it were known or suspected I had said th is much to you, 1 would be subjected to a te rri­ble punishm ent, and perhaps m y life would pay the forfeit; yon little know who you have to deal w ith."

“ W ill you help- me to escape?" enquired Hermoine.

“ Y es," replied the non; “ b u t lake from yonr face th a t glad look, and p u t on again

Heruiotne shuddered.The nun seeing tho action, said: " I dislike,

dear child, t«> disclose such evil to your tono- cent mind, b u t it is ueoe«*ary fo r you to know the natures you have to deal w ith, in order th a t you will not forget m y word* o f warn- tog ."

“ T he gardener died IsmI n ight, and they are preparing to bury-h im ," the nun explained. “ Xo one la ever buried outside the convent th a t is unfortunate enough to die w ithin its w ails ."

W hile 1 was counting my heads when tho Lady Superior was ta lk ing to you, I saw slan d in g between her and you a oeaiitiful lady, w ith the sam e shin ing golden hair and earnest blue eyes th a t you poiseas, and she said : ‘H erm oine, a way ofescape shall l>e m ade,' By th is vision I knew you had been foully dea lt w ith, and I also knew 1 could confide in y o u ."

“ My m other! you have described my m otherl" said H erm oine, and sho trem bled w ith agitation . Oh! w hat a blessed thought, if indeed her d ear m other could watch over her and p ro tec t her from her enemies.

“ R em em ber m y w arn ing ," said the nun. AVhen I saw th a t vision I knew you had been

b ro u g h t hero against your will, even a 9 I bad been. My rig h t uamo is .Marjory G rey. I waa left an orphan when a little child, ami lived w ith my aun t, the only re la tiv e I ever knew. I early developed th is g ift 1 spoke of; I canno t toll the tim e when I d id no t see v is ­ions o f people and places. M any are the pu n ­ishm ents I have received from telling of these thiDgs, b u t still they w ould come. A fte r my little portion was used up, le ft me by m y par­ents, my au n t tired o f me and placed me here.I have one friend , a Mrs. G ibbons; she pos sessed the sam e g if t as m yself. She bad a sweet little g irl, R ita, b u t I do no t know where she is— it has never been revealed to me, and we have no m eans o f com m unicating w ith those ou tside th e convent walls; th is is like a living grave, and fo r ten long years, as I said , I have lived hero. I am now only- tw enty years old. I have w aited all th is leng th of tim e fo r a chance to escape, m ee t­ing deceit w ith deceit, till the m em bers o f th is convent th ink me a m ost devou t C atholic; hu t I hate and despise the whole system o f th is religion. My sp irit friends com fort and cheer me, te lling me I shall escape, and so I have patien tly w aited. I am m ore favored thun m ost o f the nuns, fo r I have the g if t o f pain t­ing, which is o f financial value to the con­vent; when I am not a t prayers, m ass o r o th e r­wise engaged, I am busy pain ting po rtra its of holy sain ts, e tc .," anil she sm iled.

A ll th is H erm oine listened to w ith a lternate feelings of wonder, su rp rise and pity , then said : “ Could no t these invisib le friends ofyours have aided you to escape before?" for to her th is ta lk was new and strange.

“ I t was not so much th e m atte r o f escape as w hat would come a f te r ," said the nun. “ 1

was a poor, friend less g irl; if once ou tside o f the convent walls, where would I go? W h o would befriend a g irl robed a 9 I am ? No one. I f I bad escaped it w ould only tie to have suffered starvation , and, perhaps, death. Yes, my friends could have m ade mo a way of escape, b a t tho tim e had no t y e t come. They w ant me to take the black veil here, bu t I will not, for I Intend to escape, and th a t before long. My vision was n o t in vain; I will lay my plans and w atch and wait; I feel th a t a way will lie opened, th a t help will come in some unexpected way to ass is t us to leave this d readful p rison ."

“ Do try , dear A gnca, and find a way to leave this d readfu l place. I f wo can get safely away from here, you shall bavo a home w ith me, and be my loved friend, companion and slater. I have w ealth, and I will share it with y o u ," said the over-generous Uerm oiuc; “ you ahsll never w ant aga in ."

“ Thank you, sweet little la d y ," said the nun, and tears stood in her eyes; “ you m ust lie one o f the frieuds m y spirit-guides said would be brought to me in my hour o f need.

C H A P T E R X X LSophia's Return Home—Finding

the N o te-W aitin g -A ClueA few days after llcrm oluo 's supposed d e ­

partu re for G erm any, Sophia Mavbew ro. turned home from her visit. She im m ediately enquired for Hermoine, and was su rp rised at her sudden departure , and her mind was filled » ith wonder as io w hat could have been the cause. In her mind she though t there m ust bavo been some reason beside the one she had been told. For, surely, anyone accom plU hed aa she knew Herm oine waa in every b rin ch of study , had no fu rth e r use for schools. So thought Miss Sophia. Rut though surprised , sh e was obliged to lake her m other s word, and as the days wont by and still she received no le tter, she waa more sur prised than ever, for th a t was not like H er inoine of their school days, to fo rget her old friends. A nd again she w ondered a t the strange, frigh tened look her m other wore every tim e she cam e unexpectedly upon her never before in her life b id sho known her m other to be troubled with nerves.

O ne day Sophia wu# going th rough tho hall and saw » folded paper ly ing near the door of

, ‘V oro |y G rant'« room. Stooping, she p icked it up and pu t ¡tin her pocket, ju s t ns her g randm other crime up tho sta irs Sho was evidently looking for som ething, b u t upon see ing Sophia, p u t on an indifferent a ir and passed on. Sophia had no particu lar love for her g randm other, and she th o u g h t it was the paper she had concealer! in her pocket th a t was the ob jec t o f her search, and she d e te r­m ined to seo its contents. G oing to her room she opened and read it, w ith a su r­prised and com ical look on her face, then laughed heartily . I t proved to be a receip t for m oney paid to th e C onvent St. Mary. W as her g randm other g e ttin g religious, tlia t she should pay her money to a convent? O r per­haps she was going to become a nun! A nd Miss Sophia laughed m ost m errily a t the thought. T hen , agaio . there m ight be more In th is little note titan one m igh t a t first th ink. She determ ined to h u n t o u t th e m ystery , for to live in a house con tain ing a m ystery , and no t know it, was too m uch fo r Miss Sophia to su b m it to. So fo ld ing th e no te in the sam e m anner as it w as when she found it, she left her room , and, go ing to her g randm other 's door, she knocked softly , and, receiv ing no answ er, sho gen tly pushed open th e door, and entering , she laid the fo lded no te carefu lly on a stand , then going qu ick ly ou t, sho p ro ­ceeded dow nstairs, sm iling to herself, th ink ing of the astonished look o f th e lady when she should find the no te on her stand ,

A t tho d inner-table she sudden ly enquired of her m other if she had heard yet from H er moine. H er m other replied th a t she had n o t

“ Then perhaps A rth u r has, o r is it E ras- tufl?" Sophia, know ing the riva lry ex is ting betw een the two gentlem en fo r the affections of Hermoine, took th is o p p o rtun ity to tease A rthur. “ How ia it, A r th u r? ” and her brigh t eyes looked enquiring ly a t him.

B ut bofore he could reply, her m other said ‘I th ink , Sophia, you are fo rge tting you arc a

lady. I luid hoped th a t 3 - 0 1 1 had overcom e th is child ish curiosity o f you r .younger y ea rs ."

But, m am m a,” said Sophia, “ I do not seo any th ing wrong in w ishing to know o f dear H erm oine's welfare. You know I loved her dearly , am i cannot seo why, either, if you have heard from her, I m ay not know it; she surely lias had tim e to write before th is ."

H er m other, though anxious to stop her en­quiries, hard ly knew what answ er to make th a t would be satisfactory .

“ Since you are so anxious to know ," said A rthur, “ I will tell you th a t the la s t I heard from her she was well, and busy w ith her studies. A s she did no t have tim e to w rite to all, she wished th is to do for oil her -friends." A s he said th is he arose from the table, end, excusing him self, he went away.

Sophia pondered over his words for some tim e. “ S trange th a t Herm oine ehould write to A rth u r ," said Sophia to herself; “ b u t per­haps they have become more friendly; and if Herm oine wrote th a t le tte r to all o f her friends, why did he havo to wait to be asked before telling tho news? A nd why d id not mam ma know of it? " Then, continu ing her thought»: “ I t is alrungc. I would much ra ther seo th a t le tte r than hear of i t ." Thinking o f tho look on A rth u r 's face os he loft the room: “ 1guess It d id no t contain any very happy news for h im ." B ut audibly she only rem aiked: “ I th ink it unkind of Herm oine no t to write to me a fte r going away in th is sudden and unex­pected m anner; and as 1 was not hero to bid her good-by, either, she must know how much I would like to hear from h e r.”

“ A nd 1 mean to hear from h e r ,” th o u g h t Sophia to ber»elf “ I am satisfied they are try ing to keep som ething from mo, and 1 will find It o u t, I can see It is l>ctwccn A rth u r and his aun t, a n d m am m a is frigh tened to dea th fo r fe a r I will find it out.

T h u s wondering to herself, Miss Sophia waited fu rth e r developm ents. She w rote a n o te to G ra n t, inv iting him up to d inner next day; but, belngbusy , bo did not come, m uch to the d isappo in tm en t o f Sophia.

“ W hat In the w orld ,” th o u g h t they, “ caused the g irl to ask th a t question?" B ut quickly recovering them selves, A rth u r said , m ock­ingly: “ Do j'ou, sw eet cousin, desire to en te rth a t qu iet re lre s t? "

“ I m ight wish to loraoUtno," said Sophia, “ If my lover should fo rsskc m e."

A rth u r looked s t her w ith a scowl black a» night.

“ M y! 1 guess somo o f my w ords struck hom o," th o u g h t Sophia, h u t said : “ Do notlook a t me in th a t m anner, A rthu r; and, mam m a, do no t be frightened. I am oot go ­ing to deprive you o f m y sw eet society for som e tim e, fo r my lover is y e t true ; bu t there is noth ing like being prepared fo r an em er­gency. "

“ Mr. M anning is an excellen t m an ," said her m other, g lancing approving ly a t her, glad of th is chance to change the conversation

“ Y es," replied Sophia, with a rosy, sm iling face, “ I th ink so ."

Mrs. Maybew reg retted very m uch the p art •ho had taken in H erm oine's being secluded in tho convent; she was afra id i t waa a g rea t m istake, b u t bow could she speak o f it? A nd it worried the proud lady no t a little . I f Mr. M anningshould ever know o f It, she fe lt it would be the m eans of destroy ing her d au g h ­te r 's happiness for life, for how could ho take for a wife the d augh ter o f a woman who would conceal and help along such a treachery 119

they hail com m itted ag a in s t sweet, beautifu l H erm oine G ran t, and a t the lim e when she was in sad and b itte r sorrow ? R em orse was now com ing upon her, and she th o u g h t o f the prom ­ise she had given her b ro ther and H erm oine 's fa th er— how hail she fulfilled the tru s t given to her? T ruly lu a most ignoble m anner, and a llusb of sham e m antled her brow. I t is no wonder she grew nervous; the m ore she though t o f these th ings th e m ore terrib le it looked to her. She would have g iven much to have tho privilege of confessing her share in ihe transaction , and relieve her m ind of its burden; bu t it was too Into now, she thought. It seem ed as if the accusing eyes o f her dead bro ther and o f H erm oine's m other were con­stan tly upon her, and go where she would, she could no t throw off th is d readfu l feeling. T ru ly ahe was an ob jec t o f pity .

N ex t day G ran t cam e up to L ondon__thesam e genial, happy fellow as in h is boyhood days. He b rough t w ith him a b righ t, cheery feeling, and the d inner hour passed pleasantlv away.

A fter d inner Sophia persuaded G ran t to w alk w ith h e r in the garden, as she w ished to ta lk over the, (to her) strange actions of the people in the house, and see if she could find ou t any th ing from him. She asked her brother concerning his business, and if he was com fo rta ldy situated , e tc ., try in g to find a way to ask w hat sbe really wished to know.

“ G etting very though tfu l about your b ro ther s com fort, cb, sis? said G rant, teas- ¡ugly. “ V ery suddenly In te rested ," g lancing a t her. “ I guess you thm k I am t'lau . e M ann ing?”

“ Now, do be se rio u s," said Sophia; “ I have go t som ething im portan t to ta lk ab o u t."

“ W hose secret have you found o u t now? said her brother.

“ Xo secret, bu t I only wish I could find out one, th a t Is the reason I sen t fo r you— to help m e."

" B u t I know no secret to te ll," rep lied the obstinate G ra n t

Well, listen; b u t w hat I wish to say first is th is : I th ink you ought to prescribe form am m a; I fear she will be ill; she docs not act in the least like herse lf.”

I did not see any th ing alarm ing about our lady m o th er," said G ra n t “ I t is all in your im ag ination ." B ut ever kind and thoughtful, he said be would more closely observe his m other, and see if she needed any trea tm en t “ I saw E rastus to-day— looks ra ther gloomy and down-hearted; has not heard from H er­moine since her departu re fo r Germany. W ell, 1 am saved all the trial» o f an engaged young m an," and G ran t sm iled contentedly.

“ D o you mean to tell me Herm oine and E rastu s are engaged?" said Sophia.

“ Certainly, and have Keen fo r some time. I should no t th ink th a t would surprise y o u ."

■Well, th a t docs no t," said the girl; “ b u t " and she looked perplexed, "w hy then is she corresponding with A rthur instead of E rastus, if w hat you say is true?"

“ D id A rth u r say he had heard from H er­m oine?"

“ Y es," replied Sophia.“ Well, I believe it is a black falsehood,

said G rant, “ told to hide somo scbcnio of his own, fo r I know H erm oine refused his atten lions, and betrothed hcrsolf to Krastus; and I would stake my lifo on tho tru th and purity of H erm oine," said G ra n t

“ So would I , ” said Sophia. “ I t 1» s tran g e ,” and brother and sister looked at each o ther mystified and astonished.

“ W hv are they trying to deceive mo con- cernlng the true sta te of affairs?” thought

on •TheMr. Moody's Lectures Bible.”

Mr. Moody laid down prnprosillons: 1 . The Bible is written by Inspiration, but Is not all Inspired. Holy men moved ot God wrote of the doings and sayings ot Old Testament characters, but these actions and words were not themselves Inspired. 2. It Is impossible to believe

New Testament without the old. Lew gives 100 quotations. KeTela-

240. and so on. 3. Wo cannot re-

coping. Hundreds of incandescent lamps are reflected from the still waters as a biasing fringe. At the same mo­ment the Columbian fountain breaks out Into innumerable jets of water, whose cool flow (airly sixties as It strikes the hot stones. A moment, and the rushing, gurgling splash pours over the three sides of the great square pedestal In mimic waterfall.

The twilight deepens, and still the people quietly wall. A man comes out upon the pediment of the dome of the Administration building aDd lights, one after the other, the great twelve-foot torches that are to burn the rest of the evening. Again there is a flash. The cornice of every building forming the great quadrangle of the Court of Honor becomes a permanent liDe of fire. The same fire creeps up the dome of the Ad­ministration building In such form that the crowned head is distinctly outlined. With a rush the electric fountalos pro­ject crimson jots of water 150 feet into the air. It resembles liquid tire. Hardly has the eye grasped the strange beauty when the color changes, into green, uml blue, and pink and gold, and tints of all these. There Is nothing elsewhere In the world to excel this display, which electricity has rendered possible.

Come into the Electrical building, where are the cages of the "gnomes" and "hobgoblins" who do these marvels

We hardly enter when wc see In round script, lettered by in­candescent lamps, "W. E. Co " These are incessantly lighted and put out in a bewildering "now you see me ,and now you don’t" sort of a way. Behind is seen the arm and index finger of the goblin whose ceaseless activity performs this wonder.

Close by U a pillar of glass extending from the floor nearly to the celling. As we question, a band of light llko a wave rises rapidly from the floor to the top of the pillar, divides upon three lightning-streak arms, terminating in revolving cones and spheres, and ex­pires in three colors. Don't ask us how.foot the supernatural without throwing

a »ray the whole Bible. E?ery book con­tains something supernatural, and if tbU | We don 1 <no'*- bul wo to° UW1» not credible the author of it must be * revolving pillar of lire, so vividlyI liar. and. therefore, his whole txH-k Is

untrustworthy.— Chicago £m iinj _Ye<r».It is fortunate for Mr. Moody that

he U not subject to any ecclesiastical

described in "She," and a soft whisper says: "All things are possible." Yon­der, near the cod of the building, a pillar reaching nearly to tbo roof Is

oourt, else he might fare as badly Dr. I baring spelts of breaking out In difTer- Brlggs for saying that the Bible is not cot colored eruptions, with a faint like- all inspired. He might also have said ; ness to geometrical figures—goblin talk that a saying is not necessarily true be-1 without doubt. The whole building Is a cau»o It la said by inspiration, and he | glow of light, whllo the whirring hum may some day come that conclusion, of the dynamos to almost distressing, soWhat he means by supernatural we do not know, but we do know that, amongst orthodox people, it is something higher than natural, though tho word does not bear that interpretation.

Dr. Thomas, to avoid this mistake, calls It the higher natural, and admits, as we also do, that no phenomena Is above or contrary to nature. If super­fine means very fine, or extra fine, then supernatural should he understood to be very natural or extra natural.

Mr. Moody, In his thin! proposition, says: "We cannot reject the super-

‘ without throwing away the Bible." He evidently Intended

knock-down argument, but It what he intends to prop

we adjourn to the outer air.Most of the crowd have found seats,

and are watching the play of tho foun­tains, or the great search ligbta which like comets movo restlessly from tho tops of sorno of the larger buildings. And now from the lake shoot up Into space rockets and bombs, whose ex­plosion fills the air with uhowers of fall­ing, v art-colored stars. The Illumina­tion to at Its height.

To crown all, a chorus of TOO voices, at ono of tho band stands, starts Into the weird melody of "Way Down on the Suwanue River," whose refrain to taken up by many voices In the crowd. Mean­while tbo lake breezo has grown moro distinct and oool. There to no better

All thU because of the wickedness of mao It dor» seem somewhat »usage to an ordinary, uusaocUfied mind, that the tnnoceot ,-attle, bird» aad harmU-M animals »bould have been enrelogwd in the destruction meted out to wtoked

I man. when It would have been to easy for God to separate acd save thorn.

Strange, also, that now, when the work was to nearly accomplished, there was not a full end put to the various ravenous beasts and venomous serpents; besides the many-winged Insects and crawling things that are today tho plague and the torment of the tidy housewife In every civilised land.

Stranger still, that, knowing that man would again follow out bis old pro­pensity to »in, and that the damnation of endless hell torments would he the end of the vast majority ot the human race. God did not, now that there was but n bandful of them left, make a clean sweep of it, drown the rest of tho lot, and so save hell from being eternally peopled with untold myriads of human beings suffering the miseries of the damned.

Yes, verily, it to strange.What a mercy it would have been I Wbat a pity It was not done—that the

opportunity was not then and there utilized to leave hell measurably empty, wnen it could have been done so eosllv.

Such are the thoughts of a "sinner,” argulDg from the standpoint of a "sin­ner," upon the premises of orthodox dogma.

ft were certainly better that a baker’s dozen, more or less, should be drowned, than that millions and billions of their descendants should wail In remediless woe forever and ever.

O Orthodoxy! what a grisly terror hast thou set up for tho worship and adoration of all mankind!

And men have foresworn reason,stifled thought, stultified moral sense, in fear of the wrathful vengeance of God should they exercise freedom of thought and obey their own highest and purest con­ceptions of good. By the terrors of Are and rack in this life, and the terrors of eter­nal hell-tire in the hereafter, men have been held to the worship of the God set up by so-called orthodoxy.

Conservatism has its disadvantages as well as its advantages; it entails misfor­tunes us well as benefits. That Inher- ont principle In man that clings to the good of tho past and the present also clings to those things that, good, per­haps, ia their time and place, have been turned to evil by being held fast when their lime and place has been left be­hind by the course of evolutionary pro­gress—a dead past whose mummified corpse to still caressed and worshiped by mentally-belated citizens of the living present.

Tbo power of education and tradition in passing from parents to children, and from generation to generation, the ideas and thoughts, and especially the relig­ious notions of ancestors. Is wonderful. So it is that the old, tho ancient relig­ious notions concerning a deity—though abhorent to all the finer sensibilities and human instincts that have resulted from the evolutionary growth of humanity— are embodied In the creeds and "be­lieved" by men and women who arc far better than the deity set forth In their "articles of faith."

Those of our readers who havo visited the "Fine Arts" building at tho Colum­bian Exposition may havo observed u painting in the Belgium department representing “The Flood." Tho waters have nearly reached tbu highest sum­mits of tho mountains; there are bodies of those who are exhausted and dying, or dcud; there are a few terror-stricken souls stilt climbing up the rugged rocks to the highest points yet remaining un­submerged. Awny off in the dislanco floats the ark containing Noah and tho few who entered therein with him. High above in the midst of a terriblo cloud stands Jehovah, a stern, stony, heart­less, merciless mas, in form, pourlog down plttloss floods of rain to drown the world.

As ono gazes on tho fearful picture, one cannot holp observe the an thropo­morphic ideal of a God; It has pictured God as a man. In fact; It has Invested him with human—perhaps it w ere betto r to say inhuman—a ttr ib u te s . It has given dolly the ch a rac te r of a m an—a vin­dictive, revengeful, heartless, unfeeling type of a human being; such a c h a rac te r as was possessed by some of th e ty ran n i­cal desoot kings and lords of a serai-bar­barous antiquity.

And such a picture represents very fairly the modern orthodox Idea of u God. It to an Ideal that has been handed down from past ages of darkness and un­restrained tyranny, when the tyrant's will was law, and to disobey or displease was torture and death.

And It to worthy of notice that so far does the anthropomorphic Idea of God extend, that not only is he clothed with the lower and worst characteristics of

Some Tliouuhu Ttiorts

Is as sacred to him as tbe religion of; Buddha, Confucius or Jesus is to their respective adherents. Only a abort time ago there were impressive ceremonies at tbe World's Fair over what was sup­posed to be a great calamity, In tbe loss of the steamship Khava, having on board a large concourse of Mohammed­ans, on tbelr way to Mecca to vtall the tomb of Mohammed. Tbe wall», the moan* of anguish, and the piercing »creams of those who supposed that they had lost friends on thts ill-fated ship, wore heartrending to hear. Tho Chicago Trihunt states that Mil wall's cousin was one of the ]<aa»cngcrt on tbo vessel, and the news lo him was a »hock. Instead of attending lo his du­ties he Immediately set up a wail for the loss of his relative. Ills shriek* at­tracted tho attention of everv inhabit­ant of the village, and within five minute* all of them were out. Tho motley crowd. In their maoy-bued cos­tumes, huddled In their close and dark street, relieved only by the reflection of tbe starlit aky. They wept like children, and women tore their hair in despair. Manager i'ungalle, seeing that matters bad taken a serious turn, consulted the priest of the village, and decided to hold services in the mosque, to quiet the Egyptians. Mohammed Abdallah, the muezzin lor announcer! of the congrega­tion, soon after appeared on the minaret of the mosque, and In loud tones called out to the people below; "Allah on z\kbar, Allah!" ("God Is a great God.”)

The announcement that services were to bo held quieted the frantic as­semblage, and they hastened to prepare for prayer. The women, who are not admitted to tho mosque becuuse the be­lievers of Mohammed consider them unclean, returned to their sleeping apartments. The mosque presented a solemn spectacle. It is a small struc­ture. The room in whloh the services wore held is 25x40 feet. The walls are bare and painted white. Toward tho oast are two window;. When praying, Mohammedans always turn their faces eastward, bowing to the point from which the sun rises. Within the place of worship were several candelabra with several hundred candles. Before enter­ing the mosque each Mohammedan stepped into a room where he carefully performed his ablutions, and as each worshiper entered he removed bis shoes and left them on the outside of the door.

The priest or nki was Sheik Ali All. Attired In a gorgeous robe of white silk, embroidered in gold, and a green tur­ban, he paced up and down the sacred carpet, which was brought to Chicago all the way from Mecca. His green turban is a sign of tbe priest's pilgrim­age to Mecca, and only those who have made such a pilgrimage are allowed to wear them. In the streets of Cairo there are several of these green-turbaned Mo hamtnedans.

The fiki then proceeded to repeat passages from the Koran suitable to tbe solemn occasion. Each worshiper bowed thrice towards the cast, then kneeling, kissed the floor. As the priest delivered the passages, the worshipers rose and repeated each sentenoc. They raised their hands above their heads, and do- Bcriblnga semi-circle with lhelr arms let them fall beside them. The prayer seemed to have a wonderfully soothing power on tho assemblage.

After Its conclusion the Egyptians re­tired for the night. The excitement had apparently passed away. They spoke In low tones, and hero and there oould be seen a man whoso eyes were tilled with tears.

The tlmo will come when death will be regarded In the light of a blessing. Then the doctrine that Spiritualism In­culcates will bo bo engrafted in tho minds and habits of tho people thnt death, coming In the natural course of events, after a well-spent life, will be cordially welcomed.

desplriluaUxed so far as such angel help 1» concerned, for the divine economy Is such thst where forces oannot be used they will not be expended; thus they are for tho time withdrawn. Many an In­dividual by evil action has thus been desplrttualUed by celestial Intelligence», and as a result of such withdrawal on tho part of ooli-stlal Intelligences the mortal has by tho law of altraolioa opened his soul to obsessing spirits.

In tho history of the world, nt recur­rent periods In Its development, God's spirit has desplrltuultxed effete human forms or nations that reached the acme of tholr operations' and desired to rest from their labors, aud this has tnvarla bly happened when a now age was about to appear. Then tho coming events cast their shadows before them and on tbe dial plate of time tbe hour of a nation's doom appeari-d. This occurred when Christianity came into vogue, when tho renaissance in the Middle Ages dawned, when Spiritualism unfurled its banner of light to the denizens of earth. It is not to bo understood that angel help is not al»«ays proffered- it Is abso­lutely true that it 1* not wasled.

themselves that they are theLr only agents and that they act freely; yet this is not so and cannot be proven by ant- human science or history. Back of these earthly Beenes there are forces and intelligences that must be considered, if the problem of mortal destiny la ever to be solved, and it is high time that humanity heeds the clarion call of the heavenly hosts to look to the hills whence comes its salvation. It Is far better to have angels holp us consciously and be guided by them than to "paddle our own canoe," relying on egotism to help us through the shoals and quick­sands of material existence. Woe is it when once our souls are deapiritualized. for ruin is inevitable and evil is the shadow which leads to it. Angel guid­ance is the way of life and light.

How Is I t Fotuilble?How it is possible for demonstrable

proof of a future existence to antagonize a church that teaches it by faith and hope, is beyond my comprehension. When tho church confesses, as Bishop Foster has done, that it docs not know that death docs not end all, It Is high time that it made some effort, at least, to obey tho Scriptural injunction to “add to' Its faith knowledge."

Instead of praying the old, tiresome chestnut: "Lord, wo believe, holp thou out- unbelief," It should bo praying: "Lord, wo know; Increase thou our knowledge; quicken our evolution In grace and knowledge.

A grand opportunity Is now offered the church to arid to Hs faith in, a knowledge of. a futuro existence, hut It contemptuously rejects It; seemingly content lo follow, rather than to lend In the grund march of progressive thought.

If the ahurch cao, though quietly, re­ject as obsolete and false, doctrine* which It formerly believed and preached, such as an eternal brimstone neil, infant damnation, etc., It certainly should exerolse sufficient moral, If not Christian courage, to accept those whloh are the result of morn cnllghl-

Steam has hissed and electricity has flashed and filled the untutored mind with fear for untold ages, until the mind or spirit of man has progressed In knowl­edge and consequent power to harness them, and direct them to do his bidding- until Franklin, Fulton and Morse were empowered as aneel missionaries to in­itiate the movement to bring about the practical brotherhood of the human race.

Taking into consideration the age, the twilight of the world, the exolamattun of David was inspiration; “What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels; thou crow nest him with glory ana honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands." As was the ex­pression of Seldeo J. Finney: "The glory of the sun and star is eclipsed by the glory of that reason that can weigh and measure sun and star.”

Now, really, such occur rences are not odd, and if the writer of the above-mentioned article will investi­gate the philosophy and phenomena of Spiritualism, he will surely receive such manifestations as will prove to him that the religion of religions (Spiritualism) contains nothing that to odd.

It appears that a party of young peo pie gathered together with a planchette. Ono of the young women was partlcu- larly anxious (or tho arrival of a favor­ite cousin. During the day she had recolved a letter from him, in which he stated that ho would bo unable to visit her owing to unexpected Illness. HU cousin was in despair. Her companions thought to liven her up a bit ‘ ovening with tho planchette.

Tho.v all cried out that It was the result of her strong desire; hut the young woman had faith In the prophecy, which nothing could shake.

When tho train pulled In, sure enough there was Harry, looking a lllllo pale, but, after all, none tho worse for nls sickness, which had proved only temporary. Then tho laugh was on the other side.

A seance of recent date In which a dog was admitted to the circle, was thought by lho sitters lo fully domoo- ilralo tho animal’s clairvoyance. As an experiment tho manifestations wore alternately purposely produced by the unseen intelligent force. When the phe­nomenon was genuine tho dog would bark and growl, and exhibit every sign of unro«t. Sometimes he would appear to sniff around the spirit, which could be seen by all present, and wag hls tail. When tbo manifestations wore mechanically produced by differ­ent members of the circle, tho dog would lie down and go to sleep.

All this is in correspondence and can be vouched for if names are desired by inter­ested parties. “ White Rose" received the in­formation of the young man's sittings the fol­lowing Saturday, at 3 p. m., by a letter which explained all. The guide of “ White Rose," known as “ Heart's ease," sent this to “ White Rose" as a reproof for doubt and unbelief, the message coming automatically within thirty minutes after receiving the above letter announcing the confirmatory facts:

And again I reflected on some of the say­ings recorded in the Bible. And among other things it teaches that nations should beat their spears into pruuing-hooks, and their swords into plowshares; and that nations should neither learn nor practice war any more. But now, after nearly nineteen centuries of time have come and gone since Christianity has had sway, what do we find? Why, that those plain precepts of the Christian s Bible are set at uaught, and that in their stead the greatest artistic skill in all the world is required to design and const!net cannon and other guns that shall be more destructive of life than any

•‘In guidance, Heart's Ease."Is this not sufficient to give the “ bruised

The Krupp gun and its accompanying muni­tions of warfare, united with the plaudits of the people over them, plainly show to all thinking people that Christianity is neither more nor less than a dead failure.

A New Camp Ground Proposed.To the Editor:—Will you kindly give a

place in your paper for a proposition from spirit “ Old Hills," as he calls himself, the Mexican and California miner, and one of the controls of Dr. Cx. W . Frost, of Russell, Mass. He (Old Hills) has come to the front again with something for T he Progressive Thinker man to put in his paper; this time it is a new Free Family Spiritual Camp Ground, located on the Hickorydalc farm, in this place. The owner is perfectly willing to give the use of it for that purpose as long as Old Hills wishes, aud is willing he should dictate all arrangements thereto. The grove is of yellow pine, and very beautifully located. Tho water is a medicated spring that is of itself life giv­ing, clear as crystal. He says the Indians used to bring their sick for miles to be cured with the water. Piles of stone are still there where they had their tents. The location and requirements needed, together with the pictur­esque views from the grove, cannot be sur­passed this side the Rocky Mountains. Tho river winds along one side the farm, in plain view, and the village of Fairfield, also the town of Russell, can be seen a little more than a mile away. A private road leads from tho farm to Fairfield station on the Boston and Albany railroad, which runs through the farm, a splendid place for a flag station. The grove is a little over a mile from nny saloon or church; eighteen miles from the city of Spring­field, Mass. Old Hills says he wants a camp free to all who wish to come and pitch their tents to enjoy Spiritual feasts— those whose means are limited ns well ns those with plenty, and he would kindly nsk each Spiritualist to contribute ten cents towards paying for clear­ing up the grounds, which aro now in a wild slate of growth, grado some roads, stono around tho spring, und trim the trees, etc.; then ho would like to have nny ono interested in tho graud cause of Spiritualism to conic and seo the place and make the ueccssary arrangements for a permanent camp grouud; ail moneys sent to lie made a minute of, and how expended. Any information wished will he gladly given. Please address;

wish to aav that at this and subsequent seances whleh I attended at her house. 1 invariably found her more than willing that each inveeti- c»tor should have, and avail himself of. tho privilege of a thorough examination of tho iisun that i* used by the medium for a cabinet, and of all the premises as well, to his or her entire satisfaction. There has never, to my knowledge, been the slightest suspicion of any fraud or deceit in the manifestations, the character of the intelligence accompanying them toting of itself aultlcieut proof of their genuineness. There appeared to bo, at this seance, a special de-tiro on the part of the spirit friends to convince my father of the reality and truthfulness of their return. Of many remarkable testa given to us, 1 can hero give but few. Perhaps tho following was, under the circumstance*, us convincing as any.Among my father's old time friends in his uativo town in Canada, there was one, K/.ra Newton by name, whose personality was strongly impressed upon all with whom he cairn, iu contact, lie was a large, powerful man physically, and possessed a meutality of a high order, although imperfectly developed owing to the disadvantages of his early life in a country where school houses were few and far lietwcen. In his religious belief he was agnostic, if not positively atheistic. As I recall him, I do not think he believed in any future life, or in anything outside of pure materialism, although" he had dabbled in mes­merism somewhat, and had read the works of A. J. Davis. About the year 1873 his wife passed to the higher life. Some time previous to this they had both attended a number of seances, table tippings and raps, at our home, and had become interested in the phenomena of Spiritualism.

SPIRIT GUIDANCE is the title of Miss Marsh's charming story, now running in

opportunity he had given them of investigating and gaining a knowledge of this great truth before they passed over. She seemed to be specially thankful for the assistance he had given them when they were first led to investi­gate at our house, i t was a striking, as well as a beautiful, illustration of the teaching of the spiritual philosophy, that “ little deeds of kindness,” coming spontaneously from the heart, and forgotten as soon as done, are not forgotten “over there," but are treasured up as our brightest jewels.

There were many proofs given to us of t he love and atfection of our “ invisible" friends, but space will not permit of a detailed account of them all. One, however, I will briefly de­scribe. A slight, childlike form came swiftlv out from the cabinet and approaching directly to myself and wife, caught up each of our ¡tile boys and kissed them, kisse l my wife,

took my hand, and in answer to a question gave tho name “ Flora." This was ray wife's sister, who passed over some twenty-three years ago at about tho ago of 1 2 or 14. She then called “ mother," and with her arms clasped around them she conversed with hi r mother and sister for several minutes with the greatest freedom, identifying herself to them by words and characteristic actions and expressions, and exhibiting a knowledge of her mother's mental condition, caused by incessant grieviug over the loss of her husband, which it was quite impossible for any stranger to have known anything about.

At a private seaneo hold in Juno I received still greater proofs of the possibility of pure materialization, one of which I will mention.I was called to the cabinet and as tho curtains parted I beheld the medium standing there, while at tho same time the control, l’rairio Flower, requested the doctor to give the me­dium a glass of water. While she stood there with the curtains partly held back, I distinctly saw behind her, t'n the cabinet, a spirit form, taller than tho medium and of slighter build. No sooner had tbe medium seated herself in the cabinet than this form appeared and an­nounced herself as my aunt Sarah, whom I easily recognized. A brother, uncle, several aunts and many friends appeared and mado themselves known beyond the shadow of a doubt, both by their familiar faces and by tho character of tho intelligence they exhibited. And, after all is said, it is and always must bo by tho intelligence that lies back of it that we must judgo of all phenomena, whether of the visible or of the invisible world. If my friends live and, under proper conditions, can come back to mo, the}' will demonstrate the fact by giviDg me auch intelligence as will bo most convincing to my mind. Airs. A-pinwall is doing a great good here, and she is worthy of tho confidence of all true Investigator*.

A Scrap of Recent Most Interesting History.

To t h e E d i t o r :—The Fort Wayne Occult Science Society is young; not yet a year old I sent you a little notice of our first inspire tional lecturer Mr. Oscar A. Edgerly, which was published in your last issue.

There were but three or four of our mem bers who had ever heard an inspirational speaker, and, as we expected, doubt was ex pressed by some as to whether Mr. Edgerly really spoke under control of invisible intel licences. One or two positively asserted that he was no more “under control" than they were, daring one of his lectures. While the majority of the members were as positive that he was speaking inspirationally, we had no way of demonstrating the fact to the satis­faction of our doubting Thomases

In conversation with Mr. Edgerly I learned that ho bad never sat in a trumpet seance. The thought instantly occurred to me that such an opportunity offered, and his Irish control, John McCarty, should come and talk to him and the circle through the trumpet as he talked to the audience through Mr. Edgerly, euch a demonstration would forever settle the question with the society

I immediately addressed a letter to Mrs Seery-Hibbits, of Mancie, Indiana, who has at irregular intervals delighted onr people with amazing trumpet seances, asking her to be sure and visit us before Mr. Edgerly’s engage­ment expires, for the purpose above given. But Mrs. Seery-Hibbits had made her ar­rangements to go to the World's Fair and con sequentlv our plan was frustrated. The seqnel will show, however, that we unex pec ted ly and amazingly accomplished our purpose in the absence both of Mrs. Scery Hibbils and Mr. Edgerly, who had left our city a day or two after the last Sunday in June.

Quite a number of our society, divided into several circles, have been sitting more or less regularly for trumpet manifestations for six or eight months. It so happened on Monday evening, July 3d, while the old West-End

On the following W ednesday evening * e met again. The gentleman wticun, on the previous occasion, we ccinsidcre»l lu be the medium (Mr Stephen H eath, who had bea-u sitting for dexelopment long and regularly, and whose xlteeased brother, --Joe, ws* the l in t to put in an appearance, thus impressing us all with the hiea tha t he was thr control of

ur circle), ws» not present on this occasion and wo all foarcsl the resulL There were several others alisent who were present on the

irtner occasion.But we were soon awed and delighted,

wonder stricken and overwhelmingly pleased Willi our results, which were even greater than on the previous Monday evening. W hat made th is ocx as Ion of suprem e importance, however, was the fact that John McCarty came and in his Irish brogue and loud voice dem on­strated to our entire satisfaction anil amaze­ment tha t he «a« Mr. Edgerly’a control, and tha t he >UJ deliver the lecture ao pleasing to u*. and which we have already noticed in T u x i’aooiiE sgtvs TiiiXKta, th rough Mr. E dgerly’s

organism.Mr. McCarty entertained ns tor ten or fif­

teen minutes; tohi us where his medium, Mr. Edgerly, now was, and that he had left him for tho purpose of embracing the present op­portunity o( satisfying the Fort Wayne Oxx-ult Science Society that the Irish lecture il heard from the lips of Mr. Edgerly was from the mind and intellect of John M.-Carty In Sptrlt- lifc. 11.

W hat Woman Still Needs.Tub PnooniixMVB T h in k e r of May 20tb

contained an article on “The Human Hace,” by Joseph Bodes Buchanan, in which a number of strong points are made. It (.taris out as n comment upon Mr. Kinney's views expressed in farm umi Labor Rrvievy. It moves me to indicate a few things 1 will now attempt to elaborate.

Woman suffrage is a radical matter, but have never oppiosed i t It scams to me that it should lie a matter of desire that errry healtliful, well-balanced woman should be the mother of four or five legitímale children, sired by a good, Bound man. The choicer the race the more important that it should not <le elino. Farmers' wives do not labor as severely as they did years ago, nor do their husbands. The hours of toil are shortened for mechanics and factory people. As far as my observa­tion goes, people who do some manual labor have the best health and most contentment, and the strongest children. Alcohol and tobacco ore the enemies of all who use them.1 have not much faith in drugs.

In these days of newspapers, cheap books, public libraries and encyclopedias no one need be illiterate. Common sense remains the best of all sense. It is founded on respect for the race, personal consciousness, observation, hearing, reading and reflection.

A really penitent criminal, i. e., a man who has committed crime and is deeply sorry for it and detests it, may now be one of the safest of men. The community will sometime eo un­derstand, and will be instructed in phrenology, physiognomy and every indication of char­acter.

One of our evils, first to woman, then to man and all, is fickle, bloodless fashion in dross, upon which manufacturera, merchants, dressmakers and so on increase their income, and the great papers do a large business in advertising.

There is an excessive yearning for popular­ity. We have an ocean of unwholesome affec­tation. There should be a more sympathetic, yet thorough and diffused discussion of chas tity, and more complete watch-care concerning it than the world has ever had. Verily, verily, how important is chastity and right under, standings of that great virtue!

Superstitions still linger, religious and other wise. There isa kind of superstition in tech nical education, graduation, course of study, masters, musical attainments, etc. One may easily read too much, go into society too much, belong to ever so much, and even travel too much.

Onr whole system of education should be modified. It has not enougli regard toward human happiness, sympathy for youth, fear of mental pain, enlightened consideration for phy­sical well-being, reverence of human destiny on the one hand, and too much attachment to system, looking out for salary, esteem of grandeur, love of dictation and power on the other. Nineteen-twentieths of all that pupils are required to commit to memory should not be thus exacted.

llero is a dear little girl, healthy, plump, vivacious, interesting. What will become of her going through all the mills, if her mother he ambitious, her father suddenly rich, and in youth but little acquainted with schools, do. tormined his children shall not have any ot his deficiencies? If she have inherent toughness of fiber, an easy temperament, much content­ment and an excellent memory, it will be for tanate for her, otherwise by the time she is “ through ' it may be impossible for her to have a child. Would not that bo something to be regretted? L. II

Ibis season, and are likely to remain so to Hie close, anxt everything so far ha» passed off smoothly. Harmony and good feeling prevails throughout the camp.

Tho Ladies' Auxiliary acted wiser than they knew, perhaps, when they invited all the camp, ere to bring their provisions one evening last w e e k to the pavilion, and partake of supper altogether. It proved a real good, old-fash toned social time, and made every one thor­oughly acquainted with each other. After tup per Mr. Frank T. Itlpley was asked to take the chair, when a little apccch-making was in dulgcd in. Mrs. Anna t'eareon, chairman for this work of the Ladic* Auxiliary, opened with a few pleasant remarks, and thanked the friends for their response to her call to the picnic supper. A jolly time followed—ting ing, recitations, speeches and tests by tbe chairman followed. Such occasions furnish the genuine cement that binds the structure together.

It gives me pleasure to report the harmony and good feeling among the mediums in camp.

EtHe Mow, Mrs. |Aber, II. E Chase, Charles Barnes, Mrs. |A E. Fheets, Frank Ripley and others. What would any of the camp-meetings be without the phenomenal mediums? Don’t all speak al ones! Skeptics, investigalora snd confirmed Spiritualists all want them, even the thirty or forty-year-old ones are aiil! seeking tests. Me­diums come high sometimes, but we must have them.

I find some people are making a regular business of investigating the spiritualistic phe­nomena—going about it in a business-like way; tor instance, one, or perhaps a couple, will come on from a distance (maybe Canada); they go the round of the mediums in camp, and, if satisfied of their genuineness, they re­port back, and then the whole party comeson.As they invariably bring a good time with them, and proccexj systematically to investi­gate separately and together, and meet and com pare notes, they, in the end, accomplish more than the average summer tourist, for they have a profitable as well as a pleasant outing.

The speakers’ list at Lake Brady this sea­son if not unequaled is certainly unsurpassed.We dislike to have goed speakers leave the camp, but other good ones come. After the Jacksons, Hysers, Baxters and Lskes go (by the way, our Lake, H. S., never dries up), the Hulls, Hicks’, Colvilles. Wrights and Howells take their places, and thus the grand, good lectures are continued until the very oaks in the beautiful grove, and the good spirit* that hover around and about them, nod their 6een and unseen heads in approval.

The theme expanded so under his forcible ami eloquent treatment that the reverend gentleman had to cut it in two and finish il the next day, some stopping over on purpose to hear it finished.

On Saturday, 22d u lt, Mrs. Mattie EL lluU. of Chicago, made her icitial bow to a Lake Bradv audience, and talked of “ Straws on the Tide of Time." Mrs. Hall is an earnest worker, and with voice and pen has given utter aace to some very lofty inspirations. She is a John the Baptist for the Moses that is to comt August 20th.

In the absence of Mr. Colville, who was an­nounced to share the day with Rev. Hicks, Mrs. H. S. Lake, of Cleveland, was substi- tuied by Chairman Street, and a glorious good lecture she gave on “ What Is This Spiritual­ism?" The lady s strong, clear voice serves her well for outdoor speaking. Mrs. L. closed with some very fine psychometric readings, as did Mr. Frank T. Ripley with spirit tests at the morning service.

The speakers for ncxtSunday (6 th) are Hon. A. B. Richmond anil Mrs. H. S. Lake fol­lowed by Oscar A. Edgerly, Mrs. F. O. llyser and others.

Oh, my! J . R Francis, your issue of July 2 2 d proved a genuine if not very agreeable sensation, and was the talk of the cami-ere.
