messages from the spirit world We're
received last evening. And what Is
more to the point, many of the mes

audience for whom they were intended.
The messages from Just across the
| borderland" were delivered through
! Mrs. Eva Mccoy, of Iowa, and Mrs. c.
| D. Pruden, of st. Paul, two of the del
| egates who are attending the fourth
| annual mass meeting of the State Spir-

tests as the programme called them.
| She requested that those in the audi
| ence who would have messages from
| friends to promptly recognize them,
| and If they did not to as promptly say
so.

| to me is that of an elderly gentleman"
! said Mrs. Mccoy, as she gaZed out on
| the audience, land he has long hair,
| parted on one side. Is there not some
one who knows that spirit? With him
| is an elderly lady of slender build. 1
| hear the name Sampson. They are
mother and grandparent. I see them
come closer together"

man in the material life?" The man
with high forehead admitted that he

with the statement that she heard the
name of John Gilmore who wanted to
send greetings to his friend.
There was no one in the audience
who appeared to have known John
| Gilmore in the earthly life. and Mrs.
