EXHIBITIONS FOR GAIN,
Protest Against Classification of
SpirituaIistfc Seances.


Mary Y. Longley, secretary; Mr.. Theo.
dore ]. Mayer, treasurer of the Nationa
Spiritualists Association, and Mr.. F. A
Wood, president of the First Spiritualists
Association of this city, have addressed
the District Commissioners a communica.
ton relative to their classification of the
work Of various opponents Of the philoso.
ply and phenomena Of spiritualism as lex.
hibitions for gain" These phenomena and
philosophy, the writers contend, constitute
the religion of hundreds of thousands of in
telligent and respectable citizens of the
country, and the taxing of the same. they
ho.d, renders it impossible for these ex-
ponents and demonstrators Of spiritualsm
to follow their legitimate calling, because
of this heavy burden laid upon them.
They therefore, say they deem it incumbent
upon them to ask the Commissioners to
reconsider their decision against their
mediums, and to extend to them the same
generous consideration extended to the ex-
ponents of other religions in the discharge
of their sacred callings.
Should objection be urged" they say,
that these mediums toward whom the
measure is directed charge admission to
their seances, we beg leave to reply that
we fail to find any exponent of a religious
doctrine or cult devoting time, strength and
personal attention to the same who does
not derive HledUS VI SuPpoil lIOLl Tie SAINT,
whether it be by contributions from follow
ers or by the proceeds of fairs, concerts
and other forms of exhibition for gain.
that our friends the church people. are
constantly devising for the maintenance Of
their pastors and their missionaries
Therefore we trust that in justice you
will not longer impose upon the mediums
and missionaries of spfrtualism a tax that
cripples their usefulness and abridges their
rights 1t may be, gentlemen, that you fee.
a just latitude is given in permitting our
opponents to hold their seances if they take
up voluntary collection instead of ask
ing an admittance fee, but you will readily
perceive by momentary reflection, that
the one is as voluntary as the other, since
no one is compelled to attend these seances,
and if one does so, it is with the voluntary
intention of giving an equivalent as far as
he can for what he receives.
''SpiritualiSm is our religion-and we
speak in the names of hundreds of thou
sands of persons. America was founded by
good people who came to it's shores as ref
uges from intolerant persecution from Big
otry. They only asked the right to worship
God in their own way, they desired to free
their teachers and preachers from oppres-
sion, and it Is only just that we ask the
same. Therefore, we pray you, gentlemen
to reconsider your late decision concerning
the tax on our mediums in this District,
and by SO doing, you will not only be doing
justice to those who feel the burden now
levied upon them. but also win the graft
tude Of an army of American people who
love their religion and respect the opponents
and demonstrators OF its truth
