minister to him. II is not everybody who

light--the vibration Of which produces heat

= So, too, there is al ETHEREAL medium peculiar
to the spirit-world; the undulations, vibrations
and polarization Of which produce their light,

3 The venerable Doctor not long ago was at
Cape Island, 80 miles from Philadelphia, and
while there, it being hot weather, experienced
uneasy sensations touching note which he
feared was falling due in Philadelphia. So he
called the spirit Of his sister again. She
came. He requested her, as special favor,
to run up TO Philadelphia, to ask Mrs. Gourley,

see about the note. The sister did the errand,
