Straight to Goal
DR.. Bryan, according to the city d.
rectory, has been engaged in works
OF mercy chiefly dealing with the
lending of a hand to such youths as,
in treading the primrose path Of dal-
lance, have struck a snag by the
way. But in his new role he discards
things OF the earth earthly and goes
straight for the goal Of the things
that are to the INITIATED unknown.
"The barriers to the free exercise
OF the heaven born gift OF spiritual
mediumship," says the doctor, are
being broken down one by one, by the
general public from its recognition Of
mediumship as genuine and therefore

Stead, who went down with the IT,

movement, and appends a signed
statement that came by medium from
the state OF future reward from the
deceased British publicist and writer.
The Stead message regards the open
ing OF the Julia bureau as news
event and calls upon each editor to
make a personal visit to test its IA
ciIities for communication beyond the
pale.
