You will be rewarded, even if I cannot reward you.” And Alice went on and on till she came to a house with a beautiful garden about it., On the gate was a note that said: THIS HOUSE BELONGS TO THE PERSON WHO IS KIND TO ALL THE ANIMALS.

Abundance of Talent Shown by Children to Entertain at Luna Outing. Only those who were at the Kid- die Klub tryout know what abund- ance of talent there was to choose from. All our old friends and as many new ones again were there. For five hours Cousin Eleanor heard, or, as they. say in the theatrical world, “tried” almost 200 kiddies, and she says that the hardest task is still before her, for she has now to select those who will perform on July 21, the Kiddie Klub Day at Luna. Two hundred are too many by far; any day would have to be about four times as long as it is before they could all perform; ‘yet how is she to essay is original and has not been copied.

Among the boy performers, three brothers, Salvador, Patsey and Jerry Dubato, in a boxing skit carried off the honors for a big feature. They entered into their act with an earn- estness that made the thing seem real, All the other boy Cousins who were in the auditorium waitin, eir turn to be tried got on their feet the better to see and they clapped and cheered when the Httle fellow knocked the big one out. Next to these three,/Eugene Ferris received the biggest ovation of any of the ‘boys when he sang “Oh, by Jingo.” His style is immense, Up to about 11.30 everybody missed something without knowing what. At that time Jane and Marion Coffey came in looking like two freshly picked raspberries in their pink dresses and green caps, and then we knew imme- diately what the party had lacked up to then. It geems that no Kiddie Klub didding is complete without the Coffey children, They sang “I Won't Give You Any of My Jelly Roil,” and no one who heard them ®ut would have ex- changed the fattest, stickiest jélly roll in the world for that treat. Jane, she’s Lae littler one, was, as usu deat behihd her sister in the song and dance. She kept her two saucer- sized eyes fastened on Marion's every movement and imitated her to per- fection. Jane's own, inimitable baby ways have never falled to captivate her audience, But Jane and Marion are not going’ to be the wee-est babies at the mid- summer party. There are three wee-e7 ones than they who will entertain Klub members, One is Lillian consider its and friends ‘Hiling, who recit is, i ee. | ih Dr. Tass” and does “Tickle Toe” too, Syl- via is the original Kandy Kiddie, you know, the one who plt the pep in pep- permint.

VALE OWEN Beyond the G rave Vicar of Orford, 9 Lancashire, England Whatever one may think of the “revelations”—whether they be, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believes, genuine messages dictated by the spirits of those who have “passed over, or merely the outpourings of the subcon- scious mind of a highly imaginative Episcopalian minister who has fed himself on Dante and Milton and Virgil and the Holy Scriptures and studied a certain amount of modern science—they are an to the literature of Spiritism, For they present what purports to be beyond the grave.” important contribution “a full description of the world Readers of the series will observe that in the early stages of the “worlds to come”the greater part of the conditions more closely resemble thdse of earth than of the transcendental state generally pictured as that of a future Familiar things are seen and done; the range of ideas and method of expression are easily recone as those of many of our everyday friends. ie According to Mr. Va Owen, as we pass beyond the earlier stages, so do the conditions of earth become more remote and those of the higher worlds _ Sir Arthur concluded by expressing the hope that “the manuscript would soon be available for all the world,” adding that in his belief “it could not fail to produce a profound sensation.” Needless to say The World does not guarantee that the “messages” } written by the Rev. G. Vale Owen were “actually dictated” by the spirits 5 of. his mother and others who-had died; it has no opinion to offer on this H point; but the documents are of a character so different from everything ise of the kind that. has previously appeared and are in themselves so ex- * waordinary that they prove of the most absorbing interest. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who is a declared spiritist, said of them in a recent letter: a “It is the most remarkable and interesting script, the highest that I ve ever seen, and I have seen a great many. fe is so important, and gives such poe reading, that it should be printed in good large type, and if ‘ publisher needed a guarantee against loss I would be willing to join ers for a stated sum.” . : The Rev. G. Vale Owen, who asserts that he received the remarkable | “spirit” messages, is a clergyman of the Church of England, devoted to ; his parish and completely absorbed in his: work. ‘ “During April and diay 1913,” he states, “my wife was constrained by an influence independent of her wishts to take a pencil in her hand and te what was put in her mind. ___ "This she did, and it soon became apparent that a band of people were ying to communicate. In time they were able to get through messages @ more or less consecutive character. {Among these were repeated invitations that I should sit in like manner. _ disregarded these, as I had not only no desire to comply but an aversion to doing so. the ensuing months, however, a steady mental pres- applied to-me, which 1 shook off, only to find it return. ntle and kindly, byt quite steady and cumulative in force. ds w who wished very earnestly to speak with me, more wonderful and glorious, just as those of the lower become more grim. And those who find in the earlier. messages too great an insistence on ex ternals, on what might be called the machinery of the organizations, are bidden to wait until the full story is told. Through all, so far as these alleged messages permit us to see, the individual persists; the man or woman, however ultimately transfigured, derives directly from the being who was on earth. The Vicar always followed the writing as it flowed from his pencil, and in that way was able to interpose questions, here and there, which were immediately answered, and often the nature of the replies surprised him reatly. . Same eminent clergymen and many psychic investigators in England who have read Mr. Vale Owen’s messages claim that one of the chief features of the entire narrative is its orthodox nature. It does not wander ‘into theosophical speculations. They consider that the principles of Christian- ity and the ethics of Church teachings are observed throughout the script, although there are in many cases rather different viewpoints of the life hereafter from those usually accepted. This, of course, is a matter of opinion, REV. G. VALE OWEN. | “I decided at last that I ought not to refuse any longer. So, unless prevented by other business, I sat in.my cassock in the vestry daily after evensong—that is, from about 5.15 P. M. to from 6.00 to 6.30 P. M., or thereabouts. ; “On Sept. 9, 1913, the experiment was not very successful; the writing was disjointed and scfappy, On Sept. 13 it began to take a more consecu- tive form, and so continued until Jan, 2, 1914. : “During the daytime | dismissed the matter from my mind as far as possible, and so went to any sitting free of any premeditated ideas, There were, in this, period, 78 sittings, and the average rate of writing was 24 words a minute.” The First Instalment of this remarkable manuscript will appear in Next Sunday’s World, and will be con- tinued in The Morning World, each , thereafter, until completed.
