Abraham Lincoln - A Spiritualist #249461

A Mercury representative, one evening last week, listened to a remarkable story regarding the spiritualistic belief of Abra ham Lincoln and the effect which spiritual force had upon the conception and issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. The story was told by Colonel S. P. Kase, of Philadelphia, the millionaire railroad builder and close personal friend of the martyr President. At the close of the seance by Mrs. Williams, that lady said to Colonel Kase that before he died he should leave some record behind him of his personal knowledge of Mr. Lincoln's belief in Spir itualism and the guidance which Mr. Lin coln acknowledged he received through spiritualistic channels, during the stormy and perplexing days of the Civil War.
