the country freedom.
Many people Of this age are OF the opin-
ion that the Declaration was put through
with a rush, that the vote for it was prac-
tically unanimous. History, however tells
us that 1t was most bitter struggle in the
hall Of Congress, and Major Veale declares
in his sketch Of Morton that the latter
cast the deciding vote for independence
when the vote of the representatives of the
colonies was a tie and when the eight
other representatives of his state were
evenly divided on the momentous question.
Writing of Morton, the major concludes as
follows:
"At the close Of his life he was aban-
doned by some of his warmest friends
whose political sentiments differed from his
own, and they could never forget nor for
give the vote he had cast in favor of indie
pendence. 1t was then that the patriot
shone forth, even among the pangs of dis
solution. Tell Them said he on his death
bed, that they will live to see the hour
when they shall acknowledge 1t to have
been the most glorious service 1 ever rem
dered my country"
Little did he dream that the nation about
whose birth he spoke in such prophetic
strain would century and a quarter later
be the greatest wonder of the world.

Her womanly shape grew from the left side
of the entranced medium. Her voice in a
whisper was recognized as she greeted me
with the words so glad to see you even
during her busy time of psychic parturi

There had always been a feminine play

this was now seen In her laughing opposi-

Archdeacon Colley's son Clarence, though
an officer in the army-in battery of the
Royal Field Artillery. stationed in India-is
also spiritualist. He was married about
q year ago to Miss Des Barres youngest
daughter of the late Mai. Des Barres OF
MaryviHe. Fermoy, Ireland. The arcndea-
CON says the young couple met through the
Introduction OF a spirit medium. Talking
of his son, the archdeacon said: Through

spirit, his guardian angel. materlalizes in

be said that there Is no question whatever
as to the archdeacon's standing as a clergy

distinguished early career In this country.
he was invited by Bishop Colenso to go to
South Africa. and. upon accepting was
made archdeacon of Natal. a position which
