New 5Head OF brooklyn Church sends .
eheery Word From Capt Ellsworth
1.-Two Grandfather Join In Message
Of Warning--works in the Open, Too.
The Rev. May 8. Pepper pastor Of the
First Spiritual Church OF Brooklyn, Madison
street and Bedford avenue. gave demon
stration last night. Pastor Pepper only
recently came to Brooklyn. Her home Is
in Providence, r. l., but that doesn't neces-
sarily mean that the medium has ever
received any communications from spooks
for the Hon. Richard A. Garfield. Accord
ing to the stories told, by her friends the
medium has been doing very wonderful
stunts In New England for the last six
years.
The church was literally packed from
platform to vestibule. An adm ission fee
OF twenty-five cents was charged, but no
COLLECTION was taken up, The services
opened with prayer, hymns and the reading
Of the Scriptures, after which Pastor Pepper
preached q sermon, and 1t was very good
one. ~
At it's conclusion she said she would
try to convey some messages from the
spirit world to members OF the congrega-
ton. The inquisitive ones sent to the plat
form by ushers slips OF paper on which they
wrote anything they pleased. so long "a 1t
conveyed the notion that there was some
one dear to them who was dead and from
whom they desired to have word.
The less that was written on these slips
of paper the better Mrs. Pepper seemed
to like it. It;was sufficient for the one de-
string the message simply to write his or
her initials or the initials the spirit had
had.
The little white slips were all gathered
up and placed on the reading desk by the
medium. There may have been a hundred
Of them Pastor Pepper transmitted per-
haps twenty-five messages. There was no
turning down Of lishts, no .rappings' no
pearances. she simply stood there and
waited for the spirits to CALL -.
Picking up one clip Of paper and glancing
at 1t. the medium said:
A man has come along here who seems
to be a jolly sort Of an old gentleman. and
that Capt. Joe Is here. Now is there any
body In the room to whom that conveys
any meaningf"
A man sitting. . dozen seats from, the
good deal to convince him that spirit friends
wanted to talk TO him, remarked, after
a moment or two Of silence, that he once
knew Capt Joe.
well" inquired Pastor Pepper. why
didn't you speak up and say. sor Here's
by way Of a little pleasantly he wanted
me to tell you it was Capt. Joe. instead Of
saying that 1t was Capt. Joe Ellsworth.
There was litter through the oongre-
CATION when the medium announced the
name Of the famous old skipper Of Bayonne
who commanded the Cup defenders Puritan
Swel.' said Pastor Pepper, .he just
wants to say to you that there are some
things that are bothering you now that

is there any one in. the room to whom
the name Rebeoca conveys any meaning?'
A young woman In the south gallery
admitted that 1t did, and Mrs. Pepper con-
tinued: d.. ~ 50. "a
This spirit says that you can't see. I
don't mean that you can't see me or can't
nee about this church, but that the future
seems dark and uncertain before You, and
you can't see ahead. Is there anything
IN that that fits your case?'
The young woman said there was.
well, said Pastor Pepper, your friend
wants you to believe that it's an right. and
that pretty soon the clouds will break and
that there will be great happiness for you.
And now, here are two old gentlemen Who
seem to be coming along together The
name Of one Of them sounds To- me some
thing like Robinson. and the other one is
Samuel Green. Is there anybody lin the
congregation who recognizes themPs
Robinson and Mr.. Green were his grand
fathers. -.,.'.' 80
That's IT," said Pastor Pepper. Nov.
these two old gentlemen have got some
thing TO say to yoq ,;.., Old Mr. Green wants

says, and he wants you to see TO 1t that the
child doesn't get overexoited, and he wants
you to care for her very tenderly.'
Tears came into the eyes OF the you ne
man as the medium talked and when she
asked II that meant anything to him, he
simply bowed his head in his handkerchief
He appeared to be utterly overcome.
