IL Govern IF 'faimadge of Wisconsin, SAYS that
a most remarkable book is now being written by
spirits, through male medium of limited educa-
ton. His name is Charles Linton Nj Talmadge
says:
In November last. Mr. Linton was directed 10
write more miscellaneous communications
but to give his attention 10 writing a book, which
would be ctated to him by spiritual influence
He procured according to direction, thick blank
volume of the largest ruled letter sheet and in
that volume commenced writing The volume
itself is almost miracle. The chirography is
beautiful His hand writing, as medium is TO-
tally different from his ordinary hand writing and
can be read easily print He writes with
steel pen and the original writing is in this bound
volume A large portion of the book has been
written in my presence. When last saw it there
were nearly -four hundred pages written, and the
most expert copyist could not do it more accur-
ately or more neatly. The medium knows moth
ing of what he has written except as, word by
word, it is impressed upon him. Many literary
and scientific gentlemen have seen it, and pro-
nounce it beyond human conception. The style
is simple and fallt!ess, and adapted to every ca
pacty.
The book is intended to show the connection
of God with everything created and to teach man
10 look to Him for aid in everything"
