DO THE SPIRITS READ?
Indications That They Do, Since Pub
licatiOn Leads to Suggestion.
WINGED HERALDS OF A TEMPLE.
Which, Although it Cannot Be Built by
Spirit Hands, May Go Up.
TIE CLEVELAND IDEA TRAVELS FAST

The same influences which aided man in
the construction of the pyramids of Egypt
are, according to the words of medium,
soon to aid the more modern Spiritualists Of
this city in the erection of a temple in which
they can worship according to the doc
trines of their belief. From his statement
it is evident that the spirits read The DIS
PATCH, for on Sunday last it published
such a spirit scheme from Cleveland.
When Mr.. G. F. Keats, medium, in
formed reporter that when he was in this
city a few days ago he had communica-
ton from the inhabitants of the spirit
world which informed him that the spirits
would aid them in the erection of temple
and that it would soon come to pass that
such temple would be erected in this city.
His wife also asked her friends in the spirit
world if the temple would be erected, and
they answered that it would.
The Spiritualists of this city now worship
in hall on Sixth street. 1t has. but few
accommodations, and as the size of the
meetings are constantly increasing, larger
hall has become necessity. The constant
aim of the circle in this city is to SECURE
sufficient earthly funds with which to Build
temple.
NEITHER MANY NOR RICH.
The circle in this city is not very large
and not too rich so that the building is at
present more matter Of faith than reality,
but, nevertheless, the communications
assured the believers that a temple would
be certainty.
The building is planned in the spirit
world, although an earthly architect will,
when the time comes, draw up the visible
plans. He, however, according to the me-
dunn will, as all men are, be Influenced by
those in the other world. The temple is
to be plain structure, but
still beautiful in it's outlines, built of the
most available material and to be hand
somely decorated. Its interior will be fur
nished in such style as will tend to elevate
and ennoble the minds of those who attend
the worship. A peculiar influence will be
felt within its walls, although its interior
may not differ In appearance from many
city.
THE SPIRITS WORD GOOD.
So much for the medium and his visions.
A call was made upon a prominent Spirit
ualist yesterday, and Mr.. Keats communi-
cations were told to him, as the medium had
informed the reporter. He said that he
had heard of the communications, and be-
hevedthem. The society is now making
every effort to build temple in this city. A
fund has been collected for that purpose, and
they think they can soon go ahead with their
work.
''SpirituaSism is growing in this city, and
the meetings are being so well attended that
our present quarters are too small. Many
converts are being made. 1t is our inten-
tion to try and secure site for a building
near the center of the city and there erect the
temple which the spirits have informed us
is to be erected. With their aid we will
succeed. Our building fund is growing,
and we now have site chosen, but do not
care to say where it is, as some one may step
in and secure it before we will be able to do
