deplored the spreading belief in
communication with the dead.

Spiritualism. with its definite proofs
of an independent postmortem exist
ence, there is such a reinforcement,
for true religion as has not been
since the apostolic age.
"Spiritualism has greatly In
creased in the last five years. My
view Is that even il 1t took a con-
siderable sacrifice in human reason
or life to establish so vital a prop
osition as personal survival, 1t would
be well worth while. Bishop Truro
seems to confuse Spiritualism with
fortune telling. I assure him that
Spiritualists discourage the latter"

In this budget no provision is

Since the bureau issued its

through an eastern college and at

support his mother, who is making
a scant living on a small chicken
farm in a western state. Jacks
father, once a well-to-do business
man, is serving long prison term
for crime of which he is inno-
cent. Despite his poverty, Jack is
popular at the college because he
is an all-around athlete and the
rnainstay of the football team.
In a mansion in the college town
lives Leonard Billings, an unscru-
pulous promoter. with his lounge
lizard son Edgar. and his beauti-
full foster-daughter Glory, whom he
adopted when she was child.
On Glory's arm is bracelet
which was placed there many years
before by her father on his death
bed. On the inside of the bracelet
a number has been engraved. A
