Charges that members of other re-
ligious denominations are trying to
dominate many of the branches of the
Wisconsin State Spiritualists' associa-
ton were made in defense of a resolu-
ton to reorganize the membership OF
the association at the convention held
at Milwaukee.
Rev Catherine McFarlin, La Crosse,
read the resolution which it is expect
ed will be acted upon favorably be-
fore the close of the convention. 1t
provides that no one may have active
membership in the organization, with
the power of voting, unless he has
been in regular attendance at spiritu-
alist meetings for one year and has
renounced all allegiance to other
churches.
Members of the La Crosse society
believe this move necessary to protect
the organization" said Mrs. McFarl1n.
There are many who attend our serv-
ices and witness our seances, but oc-
casionally attend another church. we
fear that they may become strong
enough to dominate our organization
if they are allowed full membership
privileges"
