Electric currents, the same as are used in operating the telegraph instrument, also as now used in sending the wireless message from city to city and from continent to continent. It is no more logical to call the spirit rap childish than it would be to call the dot and dash of the telegraph childish. As the telegraph instrument is only a toy to a child, so the rap from the spirit world seems only a toy to the uninformed mind that fails to grasp the vast import of the fact that there is no death, and that definite communication has at least been established between man in the mortal and man in the spirit body. We court scientific and philosophical investigation of our phenomena and philosophy. Every scientist who has investigated thoroughly and without prejudice has been convinced of the truth of these facts.
Some men are so prejudiced that they make no investigations.
Others investigate unfairly, demanding material proof of spiritual truths without being willing to assist in forming the spiritual conditions necessary to produce the results desired, which is unfair and as impossible as it would be to carry an electrical message from one city to another oil a silk thread or a ball to twine. Unprejudiced scientist have found no difficulty in finding absolute scientific proof of the possibility of communicating with the spirit people, under proper conditions. Spiritualism is the only religion which harmonizes with science in every way. Not one proven scientific fact contradicts the truths we teach, but on the other hand, all uphold and prove our conditions. Because our teachings must be so explained as to be understood by all minds.
