Last Sunday afternoon the 14th annual
campmeeting of the Temple Heights Spirit
ual Association came to a close. During the
whole time, from the Sth to the 10th, there
was continued feast of reason and flow of
soul that was truly wonderful. The weather
for the most part was all that could be de-
sired. The attendance was very good, al
though not perhaps as large as IN some
other years when the times We're in a more
prosperous condition than now. Neverthe-
less everybody felt satisfied and We're pleas
ed with what they saw and heard. The
speakers were first class in every respect
and we'll qualified to expound the great
truths OF Spiritualism in the best possible
manner, and were listened to with so much
interest that it was evident an impression
OF their truthfulness as we'll as its reason
ableness in conjunction with COM
mon sense view of life here and hereafter
were making deep impressions upon
the people, AT the very least it set them to
thinking, and when person begins to
think seriously, it is an undoubted fact that
he is beginning to progress and at the same
time to Investigate for himself or herself
into the truth of things spiritual or other
wise, and when people do that they will be-
gin to live here and for the hereafter at the
same time. Sunday, Aug. II, the auditorium
was more than comfortably filled, large
crowd stood at the doors outside, while
seven hundred people composed the audience
within the building; and in all probability
if the day had been clear and pleasant still
larger crowd would have been present Mr..
+. A. Wiggin of Salem, Mass, occupied the
platform in the afternoon. This was Mr.
Virgins first visit to this Camp He is a
brilliant, forcibie speaker and holds his au-
diences spell-bound by his lofty sentiments
and cultured utterances. Mr. W. is renown-
ed as a test medium as we'll as lecturer,
and never in our years of experience in
Spiritualism have we listened to anything
which seemed so calculated to send cOnvic-
ton to the heart as his messages. They We're
given for the most part to entire strangers,
and in conciseness and accuracy We're most
wonderful. Mr.. Wiggin has won many
friends here, and impresses everyone with
his genuneness of character. All in all this
years meeting has been great success, and
the cottagers and others who attended every
meeting will go to their homes in happy eX-
pectation of enjoying the 18th annual gath
ering of 1897 with equal pleasure and profit
