riously compromised several promi-
nent mediums and had the effect OF
bringing Spiritualistic phenomena in
to disrepute have resulted in bring
ing the fraud question before the
convention, and the discussion of
methods of removing this evil from
the movement will give rise to live
ly debate. Leading Spiritualists ad-
nit that the cult is a cloak which
covers a multitude of imposters The
fact that drastic legislation, affecting
the legal standing of Spiritualism and
those who believe in the cult, has
been attempted in several states dur
ing the last winter, has induced the
delegates to take decided steps in ad-
vance when they come to deal with
this question.

Mrs. Edna Wishard and children

Many Of the farmers would like to
see a good rain in order to commence
seeding, though some of them will
not wait for it and have begun seed
ing in low places this week.

Washington, Oct. 15.-With sever
al hundred human beings and count
less millions of spirits, haunts, spooks
and Mahatmas in attendance, the 18th
annual convention of the National
Spiritualists' association of the United
States and Canada, opened today in
Masonic temple and will continue in
session through the entire week. Del
egates are present from a majority
of the states Of the Union and from
several Canadian provinces, repre-
senting a constituency OF 10000 peo-
pie.
Including 22 state associations and
80 camp meeting organizations, the
Spiritualists have SIC recognized
Orthodox societies in America
through which the tenets of the cult
are promulgated. During the last II
months, 20 local societies and one
state association have been organiz-
ed. President Harrison D. Barrett is
presiding at the convention, and some
of the worlds most prominent medi-
ums and inspirational speakers are in
attendance.
What is a Spiritual.st? is one Of
the questions to be decided at the
present meeting, and there are pros
poets of a lively time when this mat
ter is debated in open session. A
special committee was appointed at
the last convention to prepare a defi-
milton Of the particular terms that
define the Spiritualists as sect.
A sturdy fight will certainly be
made against the adoption of this re-
port, as the Spiritualist body includes
a large free-thinking element that is
opposed to the formulation of any
thing resembling a creed or confess
sion Of faith. These are believed to
be in the minority, however, and the
general trend of the cult appears to
be toward a form OF government
closely resembling the orthodox relig-
ious denominations, with churches,
regularly ordained ministers and the
other attributes of orthodox conserva-
tism.
Another matter of interest viii be
the consideration of the question,
what do Spiritualists believe with
regard to the growth of children in
the spirit world?" 1t is a curious fact
that no declaration has been made
by this sect with respect to this ques-
tion in a period Of propaganda COW
ering fully so years. Whether per-
sons who die in infancy remain in
fants in the spirit world, throughout
eternity, is a vital problem, and the
mediums present will attempt to solve
1t by a direct appeal to the spirit
world
