TREE SPHRuTU AhESTS.
The Closing Day OF the State Ccns
VepfiON.


The closing day of the spiritualistic con.
vention yesterday attracted crowded
house. Mrs. Lille delivered an insplra-
tiOnal discourse upon the question written
by a member of the audience, "Can you
give us a description of the practical every
day life in the spirit world?" She took the
ground that the spiritual condition in this
life enables the spiritualists to the better
prepare for the next world and the higher
life, this world is a preparatory school to
the other, ETC., and her efforts were listened
to with manifest interest.
In the afternoon DR.. Lyons of Boston
gave q lecture, which was particularly in
teresting to the audience.
The evening session opened with prayer
by Mrs. Lille of Minneapolis. The audi
ence quite filled the large auditorium. The
death of Mr.. Brewster of Minneapolis was
announced. The funeral will occur at the
late residence, No. so Fifth street south, at
$50 this afternoon. Mrs. Lille was the
speaker.
She gave at length and in detail her expe-
riences, and said the world is becoming
emancipated as it were. This the spirits
taught her. Mrs. Lille delineated the doc
trine OF spirtualsm, and gave many and
multiple Illustrations. She believed that
the spirit would not go out from the body
at some day until the man wills it. She
hoped the time would come when the word
death" will fall into disuse. She did not
like the word If it means simply change
in the conditions of life, she might become
reconciled to it. Religion is one of the
motor principles of man. The movement
in modern spiritualism is one of the grand
aSt in life In her most alOOnnnt
size stopped to say that she saw little
child's spirit standing by the side of an old
gray-hared auditor, and said in addition,
1.-The child says, God bless you. fatherr
and the gentlemen bowed in recognition.
This was followed by deal of figurative
speech. She said all were known, but all
were not alike, and consequently each
should be studied separately, and in speak
ing of the deceaSe of the child. ''the child
may die, but the mother must nurse
and mature, just as though the
child were in natural life."
Every child is taken up and cared for ac
c0rding to its needs, its requirements and
its necessities. They are taken from place
to place, world to world planet to planet.
If she had said too much she would go no
farther. Mrs. Lille counseled silence in
criticism. Those who know the least fancy
they know the most. The most ignorant
are the most pompous in asserting what he
supposes that he really knows. The
speaker turned her attention to the historic
revolutions of the Bible, and more espe-
ciaIly of the New Testament. In the
spirit land each and every spirit has tastes,
likes and dislikes, the same as in this world.
They live in houses. They build the same,

AS the speaker took her seat gentleman
inquired the name of the controlling spirit.
Mrs. Lille quickly took her feet and re-
piled that it was her father, whose name
was Knapp. After the further explanation
that the language used by the medium, no
matter what the mental condition of the
spirit, must be that peculiar
to the medium, she stated that
the fact often accounts for the disconnected
and perhaps ungrammatlcal sentences of
the medium This is because no better
medium can be controlled by the spirit that
would communicate with the world. In re-
Spouse to request she recited what she
termed an inspirational poem upon My
Child, which was both pathetic and sympa-
thetic.
A sEANCE.
The address of the evening was followed
by seance, in which several mediums par
ticipated. Mrs. Spencer began by describ-
ing spirits. She at first described small
child, which she professed to see lying in
lady's lap, but the lady did not know of any
child that crossed the River Styx that would
be likely to come back to this world of
tribulations to lie in anybody's lap. Mrs.
Spencer continued to describe myriad of
spirits. She said the air was so full of them
that 1t was almost impossible to determine
to whom the spirits belonged or were at
tached. She continued at great length and
the convention closed.
The committee to which had been referred
the matter did not report a constitution be-
cause an organization had previously ex-
listed, and it was thought best to make legal
examination before taking positive steps.
