SPlRlTUALET LEADER CLAIMS EVERY MODERN FAMILY WILL
 COMMUNICATE WITH SPIRITS

ism is delayed, the president of the meeting says. Yet few believe now that it is actual claptrap or de- vice of Satan Neither do intelli- gent ministers of other creeds de nouncs it from their pulpits, he de- Iclares. Later on Mrs. Mable Marie Butler, Iof Binghampton, told me that there was a great difference between Espiritualism and spiritism.
 "SDiritualism is, as different from spiritism as college is different from grammar school" she says.
 "Our belief is wonderful. new and healthy. It is holy and whole some. IL is Gods own love in a practical form.
 But the pearls of occult science are buried deep in the earth. It takes time to bring them completely tos light. That means we all must work hard" Young and comedy, she had at- tisaetsd more than one glance by the intensity of the fervor which shone from her pleasant face during .the speeches of other members.
 Mrs. Hetty Johnson tells of the connection between flowers and the spirits. At her Sunday seancss each visitor holds flower, which makes it easier to get message
 With Gods flower in my hand" she says, 2 can always get g better message.
 That it like holding God in my hand. And we can better realize tlat there is paradise waiting for ns beyond the grave"
 Across the tired face of simple laboring man hope flashes at these words. Yet, at rather extreme ideas which are offered now and then, few of the audience smile slightly, as though fellow members had not reached such high plane of understanding as they themselves. One raises lorgnette and smiles snperciliously.
 But there is camaraderie be tween the old and young, between the more intelligent aud the less intelligent, between the well-to-do and the poor.
 They are held togethed by mu- tual belief in on extremely consol- ing form of religion.

 New York.-On one of the hottest days of the year. in a red-and gold ballroom, one hundred men and women gather together to discuss the future life, the disembodied spirits and the possibility of com munication with them.
 The twenty-fifth convention .oi the General Assembly of Spiritual- ists is in session at the Waldorf These earnest people sit attentively while their leader speaks of the past, of their religion, of the social and business ostracism once at tendant upon it and of the freedom from persecution whcih prevails to- day.
 Soon, he ayers. nearly everyone will believe in communication with the dead, and in every family some. once will serve as medium for the group.
 This pronouncement causes nc surprise to the members of the con yention, although it is rather start ling news for outsiders. But the president of the gathering, J. F. Steckenreiter, goes on to tell of the heavy price believers once paid for their faith, since any spiritualist was considered at one time legi- | ,rtA x,h{ vn rNnp mt Cla phasizes the difference between the fortune teller and the medium 2 distinction not always conceded.
 Various pastors of Spiritnalist churches tell of the headway made during the year both financially and socially. Young peoples so- cieties are formed, mortgages on churches paid off. clubs chartered and guilds maintained
 It is surprising to learn, when they arise to speak, that various women in organdies and silks are ministers of this particular gospel. Several colored women, good speak CTS, tell of success among their people and in their church group
 One of them, Mrs. Hetty Johnson "a New York minist ter relates stories of her ''child-guide Chatter box" who aids and advises her. To one who does not entertain this belief it all is apt to seem trivial.
 But at once names like those of the late ". T.. Stead. the late Will liam James and the living Conau Doyle come to mind.

days when baseball lovers indulge in
q nationwide jamboree each day for
couple of hours while the Worlds
series are being played at New York.
And Monet is no exception. Yester-

there were crowds gathered around
the bulletins. All games will be
played in New York this season, both
New York teams winning the pen
nants of the two major leagues.
