Miss Caroline T. Pillsbury of Brookline, Mass, claims to have heara from the spirit of Hugo Muenster- berg. now in the world beyond. Miss Pillsbury did not know MT. Muenster- berg in life at all, and says the mes sage was entirely unsolicited and un- expected. It stated that in life the sender had tried to be honest with himself and with the public and he did not find any proofs that eXcar' nate beings could 6 6ommunicate with their friends. He still lives and still tries to be honest, and he has no" received absolute proof that eXcar- nate beings can and do so communi- cate. It concludes:
 "However valuable the message l may bring in future time, this one to day is important: Spirit return is a truth. I am Hugo Muensterberg.'
 This will bring comfort to many who have endeavored in vain to pierce the veil It will also bring in it's train great numbers of spurious mes sages foisted upon the credulous by those who wish to exploit them.
 Many people believe honestly that they have received true message es from the dead. Histo.y is full of le gerds of such messages and appear ancess Theosophists relieve firmly that under given conditions of self controlled living and mental conccn tration the veils may be drawn aside at will.
 So far however, nothing has been proved to pass all scientific tests. If these things arc real, they will in time be found to square up with the most rigid scientific demands. Truth IS whole. not scattered. True religion, true spirituality of any kind has no quarrel with what is true in science They prove each other.
 What may be taken for certain about spirit messages is this: That if the dead can communicate with earth dwellers at all, they can do so at first hand. without the interpositiol of paid mediums, or any quackery They will come with hecency anl dignity. Quiet and mental poise on the part of the recipient will doubtless be necessary. Hysteria and com mercialism will be sure barriers.

Because the first Monday in March of that year fell on the 4th the first congress under tho constitution fixed March as the day for tho beginning and ending of the terms of the president and vice president and members # dongress.
