ualism is the message received from
William T. Stead, the celebrated Brit
ish journalist and searcher in the Y
mystic realms beyond. Previous mes
sages have been received from stead
since his tragic death, some authentic
and some palpably faxed.
Earlier in the year two messages had
been made public as coming from Stead.

Mr.. Stead will be remembered as one
OF the first and most ardent advocates OF
international peace. When the Titanic

OF the spirit photographs" the message
from Stead and the attempts of Stockton
to complete his stories through the serv-
ice of a medium. He has Investigated
thoroughly all the instances and reported
them fully. Investigated, too, he has the
case of the woman whose husband ap-
peared to assist in naming his post
humous child.
At the invitation OF Sir Oliver
Lodge, Great Britain's leading student
OF the psychic; Edwin W. Friend. former
professor of the classics at Princeton
university, and Miss Theodate Pope,
wealthy daughter of the late bicycle
manufacturer and herself intensely in
terested in spiritualistic matters, sailed
for England on the Lusitania 10 make
researches there. Professor Friend was
drowned, but Miss Pope, after being
taken to a morgue in Queenstown, was
revived. Professor Friends death first
became known in America when friend
received q spirit communication. He
called at the Cunard Offices in New York
to verify the message from the other
world. 81 knew he was dead before
came here" he told the astonished clerk
when shown Friends name on the list
among the dead.
Professor Friend Immediately got into
communication with his wife. Almost
nightly he gave her counsel and advice
regarding her approaching confinement.
After the child, girl, arrived, the widow
and her spirit husband decided on the
name Faith" for the child, as a constant
reminder of the wonders of spirit COM
munication. Now, to glorffy her hus-
bands memory and prove the continuity
of the thread Of life into the spirit world,
Mrs. Friend has decided to make public
everything the spirit said to her, in the
form OF a diary.

fields. it may be possible in time through
q spirit communication to get the true
figures on the casualties.
But Mr.. Stead's latest message, vouched
for by Professor Hyslop, deals not with
the war but with Stead's transformation

to a member of the spirit world. The

ments, but admits that nothing but
failure resulted from his cooperation.
Mrs. Lee has long been an ardent student
OF the psychic. She has mediunistic
powers and one day was told through
automatic writing to make spirit photo
graphs. So she purchased a camera and
set to work.
She first took photographs Of a paint
ing Of herself and a Rev. Kemper Bocock,
deceased clergyman with whom she had
been interested in charitable work. For
three months nothing happened. But
then things began to get mysterious.
White balls of light appeared in the
photographs. the chair became visible
through the image OF the painting. a
lamp, not in focus OF the camera. and
unaccountable faces showed in the pic
lures. Many such phenomena occurred
which a Philistine. as Professor Hyslop
calls unbelieyers, would attribute to light
struck films, double exposures and re-
hected lights.
But Mrs Lee assured the investigator
that none OF these things was possible.
She had taken every precaution and was
convinced that her pictures were actually
shirt photographs. Professor Hyslop
took more than forty photographs in con-
junction with Mrs. Lee, but nothing out
Of the ordinary was obtained. Later,
alone, Mrs. Lee obtained other spirit
photographs"
One Of the most remarkable -pheto-
graphs was recorded on a plate which
had been focused on a painting of her
self. The developed plate showed Mr..
Bocock, full figure, stepping forward with
right hand extended in greeting. No pic
ture OF Mr.. Bocock in such pose was
taken during his lifetime.
