A SUCCESSFUL "TEsT." Mr.. A. I. Stew
ems had an engagement recently to lecture
on Spiritualism in Knox and in thinking
the matter over was wishing he could give
tests from the platform, as is done in the an
nual campmeetings at Temple Heights,
when he distinctly saw the late Congress-
man S. L. Milliken standing before him
looking as natural as when in the flesh. Mr.
Milliken said 81 wish to thank my conSti- |
tuents for the confidence they repoSed III
me, and | wish to God | had been more |
worthy of that confidence. Do you wish |
that statement made public? asked Mr.. |
Stevens. Without replying at once, the |
Congressman turned his back for a moment, |
and then facing his questioner replied: Il
do" Mr. Stevens related the incident IN |
his lecture and when he closed young |
man in the audience came forward and SAID |
it was one Of the finest tests he had ever
heard When Mr.. Stevens asked him why
he thought so, he said that he had known
the late Congressman well, had been asso-
ciated with him in political work, and rec
ognized his turning his back before reply
ing to the question as characteristic.
