Pub itsned by Arr&nsement.) LONDON, Oct. 28. (Special Cable.) That he saw objective vision of Christ on the cross Is the sensational assertion of a hard-headed business man, a member of the congregation of the Parish church at Bralntree. 50 miles out of London.

Mr. Sheppard even announced the vision from the pulpit to tha startled congregation, saying: "At the night service last Sunday a well-known Bralntree business man in the congregation saw a vision of the crucified savior in the chancel of the church. Vision Comes In Prayer. "He said he first saw the vision while kneeling in prayer. A bright light came from a halo on the hold of the crucifix. Christ filled the whole chancel and blotted out every other object. This is not a case of an emotional woman seeing a vision, but of a vhard-headed man. The vision must be taken as a divine revela tion." The man told the Rev. Mr. Shep pard that when he first saw the vis Ion he bowed his head to collect his thoughts and make quite sure of him self. Then he looked up again, and the vision of Christ crucified still filled the chancel. He looked at It about four minutes the second time. Then the light from the halo grad ually faded and the vision disap peared. The Rev. D. B. Barclay, vicar of Braintree, also believes in the reality of the vision. Vicar Believes Story. "I'm quite satisfied the man actually saw an objective vision of the cruci fied Christ," he said. "He told me the figure was quite distinct on the cross. The vision of Christ did not speak or beckon to him, but looked at him with pleading eyes.
