It is the mission of the band of spir-
its with which she is associated to aid
those suffering spirits who have
neither knowledge or power to rise
ont of the He'll into which they haYe
fallen through ignorance or crime. or
wrong teaching, or inherited propen-
stiles which prOduce misery in this
life, and darkness, degradation and
suffering in the next.
When Mary Coolie was cured of
her insanity she was taken by the
hand by bright and beautiful spirit
that called her smother" and who at
tended her until she was prepared to
pass TO q higher sphere through a
transition equivalent to death.
Here she was conducted to a cot
tage embowered in beauty, and the
spirit said, Mother, this is the home
1 have prepared for you."
Then Mary understood this was the
spirit of her daughter that was re-
leased from that little body buried in
the garden in Deerfield. 1t was
borne by loving hearts and hands to
the place prepared for all innocents,
where she was nursed and educated
to the maturity she would have
reached had she lived on earth.
Through the help of the spiritual
circle in Charlestown, formed of sew
eral mediums, another spirit has been
liberated who wishes to record on
earth the story of his redemptionA
Joseph CLARK was born in London,
Eng, in ITS, haYing enc brother
older. The father dying left all his
property to his oldest son who was to
pay an annuity to his brother. Joseph
feeling wronged and Indignant at the
injustice resolved to go TO the New
World. In 1896 he arrived in Amer
ica and joined company of French
and English far traders, their trading
post being on the Ohio river near
where Cincinnati now stands.
Clark imported a splendid stallion
from England. of which he made pet
and compassion.
Being fearless and adventurous he
travelled over tie country often alone,
trading with the Indians. In 1904 he
rode into the north of Ohio, found q
tribe of Indians encamped on hill
near the centre of Charlestown.
They collected their furs and sat
around them in circle. Clark was
preparing to pay them in goods fur
nished by the company, when the
chief made him understand he must
have the horse, which Clark utterly
refused, when one of the braves came
stealthily behind, struck him with his
war club, cut of his head stuck it on
q pole, and burned the body to ashes.
Clark was killed near where the cid
Brown house stands, which is now
occupied by Mrs. jackson, who is q
medium and through her magnetism
Clark revived to consciousness, but
without head and was clairYoyantly
seen by Mrs. J. several times in that
condition. The spirit coming in rap
port with the magnetism of Mr.. S.
Farnham, received his head and be-
gan to think. He saw how his spirit
was forced out of the body and by
whom. He was in dense forest in
such palpable darkness il was appal-
ling. In his utter dismay and horror,
he saw tiny thread of pale light. He
tried to follow it. So many things
were in hiszway. it was only by ago
nizing effort he reached slashing.
Here the bodies of enormous trees,
stumps and brush covered the ground.
So arduous were his efforts. he sank
down exhausted and in despair. Some
unseen power helped him to rise. The
light growing brighter inspired him
with hope. He struggled on until he
reached an open country bathed in a
beautiful light, and stood among the
redeemed.
In nthis world of light and glory, and
beauty indescribabls with joy he has
found his pet horse with his beauty
intensified. .a.ze4a4-s-l..---z14
The horse on leaving his earth body,
received a body adopted to that sphere
and bis identity was as trnly recogniz-
able as human spirits are. as.
