1990 - L. July 2; ed: 3/2 - "Pretty much every ining save the Rebellion is
settled nowadays by conventions and resolutions, from nominations of
constables, up to the regulation of affairs in the world to come."
The spiritualists of Chicago will hold a national convention Aug. 9.
"It is claimed Spiritualists exert a controlling influence with the
faithful. Much clashing of opinions will doubtless mark the Chicago
attempt to make the teachings of Spiritualists useful to mortals gen-
erally." (3)

1991 - L. Aug. 17; ed:2/1 - The spiritualist convention in Chicago is caus-
ing a sensaticn amorg its citizens. That this city lives upon the sen-
sational, more than any other city as evidenced from the reports of
the Chicago press.
"One would think Chicago lived over a swamp of the most awful pu-
trefaction, and that the people were everlastingly breaking through the
thin surface into the miry depths below. The long-haired, the bloomered
and the 'mejums" are attending this convention from far and near.
"The result of their labors thus far has been a plan of organization.
Much is expected from the new association by the faithful." (6)
