MISS JULIA'S POWERS.
1t Is Claimed That She Is Greater
Than Mrs. Piper.

iran Mrs. Piper.
To the Editor Of the Globe:
The conversion to Spiritualism of 50
many men eminent in literature, educa-
ton ana church. is sufficient to make the
most credulous person think seriously
Amongst the many are Sir William
Crooks, president of the British associa-
ton; Alfred r. Wallace. Prof Zollner of
Germany; DR., Joseph Cook, DIR. George
Sexton all able men in science. A recent
/. convert is Rev. DIR. B. f. Austin, b. A,
b. D., eX-principal Of Alma college, Can
ada, who has recently been deposed from
the Methodist church owing to his views
on that subject Now the announcement
is made that Prof. Hyslop, Of Columbia
college, has joined the ranks of advanc
thinkers
When men of such recognized ability,
trained in Biblical history. trained also
IN the Gogmas and creeds Of their re-
sDectiVe churches, and who have closely
applied themselves to the study of Scrip
ture and science, in order to disprove
spiritualism, the very foundation of
Scripture; the Ole principles designed by
God; when such giant inteIlects are be-
ing converted, we may we'll pause and
ask, What next? Believers will patiently
await Prof. Hyslop's statement How
ever, the learned professor cannot make
known anything relating to the future
more than is already known right here
In our midst. In st. Paul res des a great
er than Mrs. Piper, of Boston. of whom
the professor speaks. Miss Julia is even
more select than Mrs. Piper, for there
are only three persons who know of her
wonderful psychic powers. Could this
lady be induced to give public seances
sunlight would illuminate where now all
is go )n. For three hours I have listened

like the professor, 7 was a scoffer Of
scOffers Now I am a believer of believ-
ers. Owing to my old orthodox teachings
l struggled hard against the evidence Of
my own senses to prevent such belief
taking possession Of me, but I had to
succumb Through Miss Julia I have
convarsed with relatives and friends upon
subjects known to no other persons. our
conversation was conducted as easily and
pleasantly as ever it was when those
friends were in life even to Joke Of
twenty-five years ago which had quite
slipped my memory. Facts are stubborn
things. If our senses are not to be re-
lied upon in the face of such facts. what
are our senses for?
l'rof. Hyslop promises to prove scien-
tffcally, the soul is immortal. an
nounce in advance the soul is immortal
However, [ will not enter Just now 1lpon
an explanation. but rather wait the pro
fessOr's scientific explanation I make
this proviso: Whether the soul is inmor
tai or not, depends wholly upon YOUR
self. In this life we are very imperfect
and we enter the next in the same con-
dftion. The opportunity for repentance
is given even beyond the grave. Scrin-
turc informs US God has no pleasure in
the death Of the wicked. Scripture also
tells us the wicked shall be DESTROYED
When the last opportunity is neglected
and sentence is passed extinction is the
DOOM The soul takes with it into +ha
next life the character il has ACQUIRED in
this life. Then the educating Purifying
process tegins. Nothing impure can
enter heaven. You must be born again
The orthodox hell is a myth. There is
no warrant either in Scripture or reason
for such assertion. There is punishment
for those who ara considered deserving
Sin must be eXpiated. Scientists are
aware that the fumes of birthstone ara
the most destructive agent known to SCI
ence. And to grant for a moment that
man must suffer under such conditions
for all eternity is strong proof that some-
thing is lacking in our education. With
in the realms of this world the good and
evil spirits are around us, but there is a
limit beyond which the evil cannot pro-
coed. There is no association beyond
