Desiring to draw out the gifted editor
upon a fresher and more cheerful topic,
1 asked:
Have you made any observations
concerning the progress of spiritaalism
in this country?''
mot to a very great extent. My orig
inal purpose in coming to America was
to see the Worlds fair, and l arrived in
Chicago the very day it closed 1 then
concluded to remain and view the city
for perhaps two or three weeks, and
left only last week after stay of four
months. l have managed, however, to
visit few of your more prominent spir-
itual mediums and to attend some meet
ings. 1 find that this movement has at
tanned enormous proportions in this cOun-
try. In Boston, where was yesterday,
found almost everybody to be a spiritu-
alist, though the present imperfect de-
velopment of this truth has given rise
to numerous phases or factions at the
Hub, as elsewhere. As you know, am
a Congregationalist, and as such / am
astonished to find the chasm which ex-
lists here between church Christians and
spiritualists- To my mind spiritualisrn
means practical Christianity plus
few scientific proofs of some Christian
tenets, which are now held merely on
preacher, and my brother is now a pas
tor of church of that denomination in
England But am the only one of my
family who is believer in spiritualism
as a science In fact, my immediate con-
nections, especially my wife, are bitter
ly opposed to the movement and have
no sympathy with my researches. Yet
ere long hope to see them change their
views
do you believe in reincarnation as

At this point Mr.. Stead looked nerv-
ously at his watch, and he seemed about
to protest against my trespassing upon
his time. when 1 changed the subject by
inquiring:
'sWhat do you think of the change in
the British premiership and its bearing
on the future of the house of lords?''

Man He viii not advocate the abolition

asked
well, . said Mr.. Stead, with star
tied laugh, perhaps the heredity prin-
ciple will be curtailed, if not reformed
out of existence. At any rate, Irish
home rule has nothing to fear from the
resignation of Mr.. Gladstone. -
