announced that the tests he received
were perfectly satisfactory.

A German gentleman present a skep-
tic received some remarkable tests. A
spirit said to him. "'You have some
thing Of mine" "What is it?' asked the
stranger. But before any reply could
be made Mrs. Lord remarked, ooh, |
see her. She has curious looking hair;
can not describe it; and what lustrous
eyes?" eyes" hastily responded the
skeptic. "Oh!" exclaimed Mrs. l., "sho
says she gave gold locket with the i'm
print upon it of foreign coin" Eyes"
responded the listener. "And she also
gave you a seal with a head cut on it,

in a low voice to his friend he remarked,

he allowed us to examine both the articles

Mrs. Lord does not sit in one place
constantly, but during the seance moves
her chair from time to time in front of
each person, so the sitters may individ-
ually have the benefit of her full atten-
ton. Generally the manifesting power
is more accented and demonstrative to
those in front, although on the occasion
under consideration it seemed to be
equally satisfactory no matter where the
medium sat
Bro. Wetherbee considers tChisperinq
by the spirits above the heads of the au-
dience on some accounts the most inter
esting feature in these seances, as is done
by the spirits repeatedly while the medi-
um herself is talking. We think our
spiritually-inclined friend quite right in
this particular, as it is equally satisfacto-
ry to the honest investigator. Some
times the spirit whisper gives simply
name, sometimes several consecutive
words are given; always proper, and gen
orally in the shape of a test.
In conclusion, it is only necessary to
add that those who may desire to attend
Mrs. Lords seances, and go there with
good intent, we do not care how skepti-
cal they may be, will never question the
ladys medium ship, Notwithstanding
each circle is held in the dark. The
manifestations are of too marked and
unmistable a chacter to allow of a doubt
as to their reliability.
