Another Healer Coming.
ID. Evans Caswell, an exponent OF mem
tai science in Melrose Highlands, Mass,
and who has been credited with perform
ing some remarkable cures by revival OF
Apostolic methods, is to arrive in this viii

until the following Friday as the guest of
Mr.. j. w. Gabrielle.

which the voice commanded him to build,
giving all the necessary details of dimen-
sions, cost OF construction and the stu

building OF Solomon's Temple. The voice
MIR. Caswell recognized as that OF DIR.
Quimby, a pioneer in mental science who
has been dead many years.
The voice instructed him that this chap
el was to be devoted to the propagation Of
the doctrine OF spiritualism and was to be
dedicated as the Humanitarian Temple,
name which 1t bears to-day as it stands on
Mr.. Caswell's grounds. He was promised
by the voice that II he followed faithfully
all the orders given him, he should be en-
dowed not only to speak to humanity in

both mental and physical.
