Spiritualists Organize.

Remington Ind., March 20. E. W. Sprague ana wife of Jamestown, N. Y., who are missionaries of the National Spiritualists Association of the United States and Canada, came to Remington last Friday and remained over Sunday, holding three meetings. Mr. and Mrs. Sprague are both speakers and mediums aud followed their lectures with clairvoyant descriptions, spirit messages and tests. Their lectures were logical and their tests]convincing, and Sunday evening at the close of the regular service a Spiritualist Society was formed with the following named persons as officers: President, John Jordan; Vice President, H. W. Iliff; Secretary, Mrs. John Jordan; Trusiees, Mrs. Nellie A. Michael, Mr. Frank Nicholson, Miss Madge Iliff. Arrangements have been made for a Spiritualist Grove meeting to be held in July in John Jordan’s Grove, beginning July sth and lasting one week. Mr. and Mrs. Sprague have been engaged for the occasion and will remain the entire week. Spiritualism is now one of the organized religions of America and is taking hold of the hearts and minds of the people as no religion ever has done before. It claims to demonstrate the truth of a continued life after the change called death, and those wha have investigated thoroughly and prayerfully claim that it fulfills its every claim. We shall hear more of this scientific religion, this religious science, before we hear less. Mr. and Mrs, Sprague made their home with us during their short stay in Remington. They are very pleasant people to be with, and we are lookiug forward with happy anticipation when they will be with us again this summer during our Grove meeting. Mrs. John Jordan.
