and T., 6. Thompson. President Lnndon
called on Secretary Gibson. He said
that he enjoyed the reception last
year, and he had looked forward
with anticipation for the occasion this year.
He was pleased with the remarks OF Rev.
blr. Scott and Col. Hamilton in the otter
noon. He thought the war would not be
over until God had gathered oil his souls
home Mr.. Gibson extended a hearty well
come to them and spoke feelingly of
those comrades who had gone OH
to the higher world. The soldiers had done
their work and the Sons of Veterans stand
for the preservation Of the Union In the
future Wars are not all over and so long
as there was so much sin in the world, the
Grand Army must stand and fight.
Mr.. Landon then told how he happened
to step into the Grand Army hall and he
called on the man who invited him in, j. Ii.
Holton, senior vice-commander. He said
that their presence in full ranks spoke well
for the hospitality they had received. In n
few years the old veterans would
be gathered home and 30 long as
there was sin in the world Y. M. c. A.
was needed. lie referred 10 tho work the
institution was doing, and he said the Grand
Army would join in saying, MAY God
bless the Y. NJ. G. A." Mr.. Holton feel
ingly spoke of the late Comrades E. ii.
Trick and Gen. William Wells. When thay
gathered again in 10 months there would
be others taken to their last resting place.
He thought no government ever appreciated
the services rendered by soldiers so much as
the United States. In closing he again
thanked tho Young Mems Christian associ-
alton for the hospitality shown.
Prof. Landon then introduced Rev. T. G..
Thompson. He did not know whether they
| ought to be detained after they had
listened TO several hours of good speaking.
lie spoke of the relations Of clergymen to
the soldier, basing his remarks on the aboli-
| ton of slavery. lie thought the preacher
had right to be present on these occasions.
| lie extended them the greeting of the cler.
gymen.
The president said that it would not be
proper TO dismiss the assemblago with
| out word being said in behalf
of the ladies' Mr.. W. j. Van Patten was
called on. He wanted all to understand
that praise should be bestowed ON the La
dies Auxiliary of the Y. NJ C, A. for the
bountifu supper which they had enjoyed at
this time and heretofore. In fact what
could the association do without them He
told of the great help of the ladies to the
soldiers during the war.
Prof. s. f. Emerson was next asked for
remarks. He told touching story of two
| old veterans who went from Maine to New
York. The soldiers did not make enough
of this day. 1t ought to bring out every
man to the exercises. Each citizen should
take part. Prof Emerson said he wanted
to say few words of the great transforma
ton we were going through, which he
thought we did not appreciative. Great
things which give halo and honor to a ma
ton como through war. He spoke at soma
length on the subject
The Glee club sang selection during the
speaking and the exercises closed with the
singing Of one verse Of "Rally Around tn,

SPIRITUALISM IN AMERICA.
Its Vigorous Growth Since the Days of
the Fox Family.

itt vigorous GrOWtn since the DAYS OF
the Fox Family.
What is known as modern Spiritualism
began with demonstrations" in the
Fox family in Hydesville, n. Y, in
March. 1s4s. The same phenomena had
been common in Shaker communities
before that date, and. indeed, in almost
ali ages and among many different peo-
pies, but 1t was then that these demon
strations, generally in the form OF rap
pings, began to be interpreted as COM
munjcations from tho disembodied
spirits of men and women who had. in
tho ordinary course of nature, passed
away, but whose spirits were still in n
living and active state From this
time individuals began to investigate
these spirit manifestations, circles be-
gan to be formed, mediums were dis
covered, lecturers recognized, and a
literature established.
Spiritualists claim that the miracles
of Christ are explained by the central
doctrine of their belief. and they regard
the demonstrations of Spiritualism as
establishing by evidence the fact of
future life They do not hold that God
Is personal being, but that he exists
in all things Eternal progression is
the law of the spirit world. and every
individual will attain supreme wisdom
and unalloyed happiness.
A few spiritual societies employ per-
manent speakers, but usually they up
point lecturers for limited terms, vary
ing from a week to several months. A
large proportion of the lecturers are
mediums who are believed to speak
under the influence or direction of the
spirit who guides or controls them.
They follow the scriptural injunction:
"Take no thou ght how or what We shall
speak, for it shall be given you In that
same hour what We shall speak" When
a lecturer appears before an audience,
therefore, he asks that a subject be
given him, and when he receives 1t
begins to speak upon it without hesita-
ton. Summer gatherings, or camp meet
ings, whic continue from one to ten
weeks, have become prominent among
the spiritualists- In 1890 twenty-five
such meetings were held.
The spiritualists report 334 organiza-
tions, with thirty regular church
edifices, not including halls, pavilions,
and other places owned or occupied by
them There are a, ,O3o members, and
the value of the property reported,
which includes camp grounds as well
as church ediices, pavilions, ETC., is
s573,650. Not many of the halls are
owned by them. There are members in
thirty-six states, besides the District of
Columbia and the territories of Okla
homa and Utah. Among the states
Massachusetts has the greater number,
T,34s; New York stands second with |
6,S51 and Pennsylvania third with 1863. |
The five spiritualistic societies of Mis-
souri, have SS3 members. Illinois has |
/ ,314 members. 1t is rather notable that |
the spiritualists are stronger In New |
England than in any other part of the |
country. Iowa is their best western
state. There they have a membership |

LIGHTING THE GAS.
A Little Carclessness IN This Regard Ma
Cause Serious Results.

Cause Serious Results.
Pure air is much talked about nova
days. All sorts of ventilating contriv-
ances are in the market. and tho "fresh-
air fiend" is to be encountered every
where.
1t is undoubtedly good thing that
public attention has been awakening
On this point because the days of self
Tentilating houses are past, and as
houses are more solidly and thoroughly
built special precautions need to be
adopted in order to protect people from
the results of breathing impure air.
In their efforts, however, to secure
good ventilation housekeepers frequent
ly overlook the fact that ID may bo
easier and cheaper to keep some kinds
Of i'm purities out of the house than to
get them out after they are once in. It
is very well known, for instance, that
Illuminating gas is made up of mix
ture of different gases, one of them
being exceedingly poisonous in its
nature and giving rise to a peculiar
feeling of heaviness and headache If
present in the air in even very minute
quantities
Should the process of lighting the gas
in 4 house be watched 1t would be dis
covered that not infreq uently the
housemaid or indoor man turns on the
gas at the different burners of chan
delier before lighting any of them.
Now, in an incredibly short space of
time considerable quantity of un-
burned gas makes its way into the
room, and it vitiates the air in a manner
AMI measure which can be thoroughly
appreciated only by those who know
how easily and quickly air may lose its
Gfe-giving strength
Ignorance and carelessness arc not
always confined to servants; and il is
well to explain to the different members
Of the household the reason why the
gas sh ould bc lighted as soon as 1t is
turned on, and not allowed to escape
even for 4 second. Health in the home
means constant vigilance; but this is
surely one of the details which it is as
easy to have rightly as wrongly done
