When told her that the spirit callin' for her was happy in that brighter sphere. and sent her a kiss, and had golden hair and was called Lillian in the flesh plane, she was more overcame than I ever seen a party at a seance. told her she was a medium. could tell it by the beautiful dreams she had sometimes.
 Right here Mrs. Schreiber shook her head, indicatin' that I was travelin' in | a dangerous direction. Developin' sit tins is saved fer parties when you
 can't approach them on the de- parted dear ones. In cases like the
 one under consideration, the most log ical course. you comprehend, is to give | private test sittins. But I knowed what I was doin'. told her I could feel | a marvellous power radiate from her,
