people came to them in crowds and sat in

sham ghosts.
There may be such thing as genuine
communication from disembodied spirits.
On that subject We have not information
sufficient to form a belief, and It is a
proposition which should be established
on the most positive and conclusive evil
dence before any sensible man should ac-
cept it. We take it a. a safe precautiOn
to accept nothing offered under "condi.
tons" which prevent free and unre.
stricted investigation. The conditions
imposed are generally a very transparent
cover for fraud. When the Eddy Broth
ers required their spectators to keep at
respectful distance from the cabinet while
the performance was going on, and kept
the light so dim that no one could posi-
bly, detect fraud il it existed, they de.
prived themselves Of the right to be Sc
riously considered "a anything but trick
sters, When pretended mediums deprive
their intended victims OF the use Of their
eyes and their other organs OF PERCEPTION,
it is not in obedience to any necessary
conditions for the action Of spirits, but
for the evident purpose Of preventing
the discovery OF their tricks. Hands
"matcrialized" in q dark Enclosure out OF
sight, while the medium has in her prep
aratiOns the advantage Of darkness and
noise and security from examination, are
evidence only to shallow minds. Vague
communications, witten on states under
table which no one can see through with
out such optical appliances as Sam
Weller considered necessary in order to
look through a pair OF stairs and deal
door, as sheer tricks, not half so marvel
GUS as are performed by the merest tyro
at slight Of hand. And yet Mrs. Hardy
and Stade and hundreds Of other Charla-
tans gather in dollars with these shallow
performances in way to excite the envy
OF missionary societies. Seekers after
evidence on the subject Of Spiritualism
should reject all such trash as meaning
less and worthless. II there Is anything
in spirit communication, the evidence
will be clear and above.board, and not
furnished in a corner or under the co yer
of darkness,
