the proceedings. Tho rite Was Of tho simplest
character, oven tho watcr-tprinkling being left
out. All that Mrs. Cora L. V. Tappau Rich
mond, who oGIciatcd, did was to place herself
under the guidance OF some spirit, twine few
flowers round tho subject, and give uttoratice to
some impronptu verses.
Two children wero operntcd on,-Maideen
Glcnora Nichols, nged months, and Mortimer
George Nichols, Is months. They were taken
on to the platform by their happy parents, aud
Mrs. Richmond at once put herself IN tho trance
state, and spoke Us follows:
At tue fount Of baptism In the sptrtt world,
when souls arc born there through what you
call death, angels clothc them Will. flowers and
souls enter your world they are too often rc-
celvcd With coldncss and gloom, but since jesus,
tho gentle Nnzarenc, said 'sutfer little children
to come unto nc, md forbid them not, for of
also receive them into tho world Of outward life
With flowers and snnKs OF glaancssl
Mrs. Richmond then took Bone Of the flowers
from her tab1c, twincd them round the baby,
which bore the operation like little chcrub,
and burst into poetry Us follows:
Titus do VIC Welcome thee. thon child, thon Babe,
With angct messengers Of falrc.t noworn:
Thus do we twino tl,en, ever round thy brow,
Even rs angels In their Heavenly bowers.
Let al Thy iife Of gcut1eness and peace,
sRo% st 10 % sa4tns ssdan hsfe i. aei res.,.
And Joy In Heaven over ey'ry earthly tear.
Show that thy lifo OF spotleas purity
slnll be- tho typu Of heavenly life.
And link thee unto ita faturity.
Behold tho nams which on tho earth she bears,
Nchold thu name which she IN Heaven will bear,
And both iron, flowers and Heaven arc irausht.
But In The split aho phAll bc silver star with is

Tho other child was then takeu in hand ana
underwent similar poetic treatment. Tic little
fellow seemed to a'o suffering from the whooP
inG-cougl, which afflicted him most whcn tic
trance poctcss wns delivering her tcndcrcet
passages. lie wns evidently glad when tho
thing was over, and hc was allowed 10 tnke a

Tic lecturer Of the evening was DR.. pricstly,

made himself manifest through Mrs. Richmond,
