THE WORLDS SADVANCE 1HOUGHT:
The August number of the Worlds
Advance-Thought, Il paper which we
have before called the ''organ of the
human soul,' calls attention to the
fact that August Both, (neXt Thursday
will be the first anniversary OF the
observance of Universal or Whole
World Soul Communion. The editors
purpose observing the day as a day OF
graduation over the results. In one year
this UNIVERSAL prayer meeting has be-
come an organization extending to near
lypvery country and people on the globe.
Thousands OF people sit each month on
the eth (the time having been fixed
for the eth, 1T the same hour and all
raise their thoughts and souls i'll prayer
and desire for universal peace and the
spiritual elevation Of the human race.
No selfish aspirations or prayers are III
place in this Communion. The results
have been marvellous in individual
visions, revelations, exaltatlolls. etc,
but the Advance-Thought believes
that the influence has already been
very great in turning the hearts nf
rulers toward peace and preventing
war,and that An organization has been
formed through which angelic and di-
vine influences can reach mankind and
gradually flood the earth with spiritual
light and power.
The Advance-Thought rs we have
heretofore intimattd at various times,
is unique and remarkable publication,
and we again commend it to all VIII"
wish to read truly spiritual paper.
without the ism and the spirit Of con-
troversy. There are many journals de-
voted to Spiritualism and the outer
manifestations and conflict, but here
is one devoted to the interior and the
developement of the soul. The price IS
only 81 year and it is published by
Judge II. n. Mcguire and Lucy A.
Mallory, at Portland, Oregon.
Gov. McGill had a narrow escape
from lightning on Thursday evening
last. Ho had just returned from rae,
had embarrassed his horses and lett
them standing on the inside of the barn,
while he was arranging their bedding,
when the barn was struck, one of the
horses killed, and the governor for a
A daughter, l3 years old had been sent
and the lantern which she carried was
harmed. This incident developes the
fact that we have democratic COVER
nor, who takes care of and drives his
own -Mankato Review.
The Review has hit it. This is a
point which the ADVANCE has been
trying to bring out in its last three or
four issues, viz: that McGill is really
the peoples man and the peoples can
didate for Governor. He is like them
and one of them much more than any
of the other candidates, who are
counting more upon their "barrels"
than upon the favor of the people to
win.
We are championing no mans cause
in the canvass for Governor, but we
like fair play, and we wish to
have these matters laid fairly before
the people. The politicians are CON-
planning about McGill's "appoint-
ments," probably because he did not
give them and their friends all they
asked, and still more because Merriam
has sent his henChmen all oyer the
State to buy up the politicians and
newspapers with promises of office
and with money.
The Luverne Herald, edited by one
H. J. Miller, who is guilty of an in
famous and revolving crime in society,
according to the Luverne Times, and
is an eligible penltentiary candidate, is
out for Merriam for Governor. This is
bad for Merriam as it indicates that he
is using his money to buy up such
papers as the Herald. Miller is not
only noted as a criminal but as man
who never supports anybody except for
hire. Now if McGill wants his support
he has only to offer him more than
Merriam's agents paid when they were
through here and the Herald will be
jealous for McGill. This, we learn, is
what che penitentiary editor of that
paper did in a recent political cam
paign-that is, he accepted a bribe and
then went back on it because the next
one was bigger.
The intense itching and smarting
