however, is Rev. A. A. Waite, who Just now Is

Young Mems Christian Association. Formerly
he was the assistant OF the notorious EddyS

performing all the wonders OF Spirltaalism, so
called. He made an address the other day at
the Round Lake Sunday School Convention
about Spir1tualism. exposing IL as fraud, and

It's adherents claim are possible only by the aid
