which is built on the Christian faith. She

would do unto you, do ye also unto them.”
She affirmed the moral responsibility of
the individual and that she made her own
happiness as the nature of the psychic
laws. She was also one who believed as
a part of her of the communication of this
and the spirit world by means of medium
ship, and who endeavored to mould her
character and conduct in accordance with
the highest teachings derived from such

We shall miss her loving smile and
