Green Lady Appears.
The history OF psychicaL research has
put beyond all possibility of doubt the
fact that visions of some sort occur in

conservative views held too often with
regard to women in the English Church.
and the appointment of women licensed
teachers of theology is certainly an in
noyation on the right side.
