Her choice was Sidney

beautiful Edith Char

were identified with the
old Newport set. Sidney
was a great favorite
with men and the young
married women, and his
beautiful sister, Edith
Colford, was a great
belle.
While every one made

 he said.
 "Yes,' I replied; Every wonderful

 Well, Mir. Vango, I wish to ask you something. Do you know of any l psyschics who do not seek clients, but who use their gifts privately?" "Yes; but I fear they would not see you"
 Well, will you give me the names of a few?'
 MT. Vango obliged me at once, and I quickly terminated the sitting. I took a taxi and went straight to one of the addresses MT. Vango gave me. The results of my visit were so
 marvellous that I propose to devote a whole chapter to them. I arrived at the door of a large house in the West End. T was told bluntly by the maid that I could not see the gentleman. He was at home, | but seldom saw anyone save his l friends. I pressed my desire to see 1 him, and was at last allowed to enter the drawing room, in which place I | heard an animated muffled converse | ton going on outside, resulting. as I | expected, from his lack of desire to | see anyone.

 I visited Mir. Vango again on Feb ruary 19, 1918. I was not thinking of Earby, Yorkshire, at which place I was a minister for twelve and a half years. 1S92-1904. My mind was far away from any such scene. Mir. Vango had never heard of the place, and knew nothing of my ministry there.
 He sat quietly in his armchair, and began talking about his Control. whom he calls "Sunfower'' He told me all he knew about her, and pointed to 2 picture of her on the wall. which had been drawn by a clairvoyant.
 "ControI' Mystery.
 But don't you think, MT. Vango, hat your Control may really be a sec ondary personality of your own, a subliminal intelligent power that in some way gets the upper hand of your brain. do not doubt your honesty" Mir. Vango smiled.
 What ina agination the scientists and Investigators have!" he replied: 'Sunfiower' is a woman. and her per sonality Is totally different from mine. No; these ,scjentists can go on talking.

THE LAST ROLL CALL

Nothing else matters, nothing at all,
When we are ready to answer the last
Roll Call:
Only Christ and love and rest is all
AS we near the time for the last Roll
Call.
The battle is fought, the victory won,
Nothing matters, our work is done;
We have a crown, we had a cross;
1t is a victory, it was loss.
Christ and love and the glad home
call;
Nothing else matters, no, nothing at
all;
Only Jesus, by whom to abide,
Only Jesus to stay beside
The Holy Cross, as it looms in sight,
The Holy Cross, in glory so bright;
Nothing else matters, not care,
For Christ and love and peace are
here.
Values change places at life's even
tide,
Nothing matters, with Christ as our
guide
Just like the soldiers who fought for
right,
Forgetting all else with God by His
side.
So nothing matters, nothing at all,
When we're ready to answer that Last
Great Call.
