SPIRITUALISTS MEETING HERE.
They Want to Convince Public It's
a Religion, Not a Science.
Many prominent spiritualists from various sections of the country will speak during the present mass meeting being held in the Psychical Research church, Twelfth street and Brooklyn avenue, making the event one of the most important of the kind ever held by the church in this city.
The meeting, which opened Tuesday, will continue until Thursday, September 10. Last night was devoted to an address by Rev. Mrs. G. C. Stephens, pastor of the church. Every afternoon a bazaar is held, and thus far the attendance has been large.
George B. Warne of Washington, D. C., president of the National Spiritualists Association, will lecture next Tuesday evening, and it is expected that spiritualists from all over Missouri and Kansas will attend on this occasion. Other speakers will be A. Scott Bledsoe, ex-president of the Kansas association, and Thomas Grimshaw of St. Joseph, one of the state officials.
The meetings are being held for the purpose of endeavoring to convince the public that spiritualism is a religion rather than a science.
