SAYS THE DEPARTED ARE WITH Us
BUT DIR. J. F. CARSON DENoUNCEs sPIR-

That the departed cognizant of and interested

Rev. DR.. ]. F. Carson in his sermon last night, IN

the Departed to This Life"
DR.. Carson said in part:
Spirltualism is gross and material It is repug
nant to finer feelings. 1t violates our sense OF
the fitness Of things. II is contrary to the whole
spirit and trend of the Scriptures. The departed
engaged in better business than tapping ia
bles and writing meaningless plautudes and hiding
in pine cabinets. But behind the folly and the
fa!sehood OF Spirttualism, as behind every lie that
gains currency, there is somewhat of truth. SPIT

OF the Scriptures. It IS definitely stated in my
text I'VE comprised about by a great cloud

shown that what Cornelius did on earth was known

there Is JOY in tho presence or the angels OF Goo

around awhile without getting much satisfac-
ton the delegation reached Senator Kean. The
most eloquent spokesman in the company laid
the matter before him, when he replied that the
proper man to see about the matter Con-
gresham Howell. The member from Middle
sex reported that the delegation had just been
to see Mr. Howell his manner indicating that
the Congressman had been a rather difficult
subject to convert to the views of the delega-
ton. 1t then that Mr.. Kean recommended
his visitors to call on Senator Sewell. With a
more than serious expression the spokesman
said that General Sewell had been seen and that
he had suggested that the delegation call
Mr.. Kean. The junior Senator from NewJer-
sey the point but didn't see how he could
help the delegation. 1t has since been said that
Mr.. Howell could have spared some serenity to
the Middlesex politicians without disturbing his
own.
