ture readings, lessons, prayer, etc, were
conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Abbott and
the discourse was given by Rev. Mr..
Stone. The subject Of the latter was
1.-THE Spiritual World and u was found
ed upon the words given in Matt. es 9th
verse. Mr.. Stone said In part: Man
and body, and the former % the real
man. The true resurrection Is the resur-
rection OF the soul and not Of the body;
for the body soon returns to the dust OF
which 1t was formed, but the soul lives
ON forever. The spiritual world is the
that world even while the body dwells In
the world of nature. 1t Is a beautiful,
world that Is perfectly adapt
ed TO meet all the needs OF the spiritual
part OF mans nature, and 10 IL peopled
with men and women and not with the
forms that are called ghosts.
Some time IL win not be said that our
of other days are dead, but that
they have risen and entered the higher
life above, with all Its varied duties and
pleasures" 1t was fine discourse, and
was listened to with close attention by
that filed the church and

the orchestra, suggested that the pro-
gramme was finished which seemed to
awaken the audience from the hypnotized
condition they were in.
