The spirituaiist and Theosophist.
Who is Going to India After

Whatever may be the real reason for
Il, there is no disputing the fact that
what is called NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
or not it may be called humbuggery-
has singular fascination for the masses.
True. bogus "spOok' priests and priest
esses have been most flagrantly exposed
time and again, but the public never
loses interest or ceases to be curious
in regard to the alleged revelations and
manifestations Of the mediums.
Some of these latter, who occupy
front rank in the business, have not
/ been genuinely exposed-that is, gross
fraud has not been proven clearly
enough to drive them out of public
sight

about as much advertising aud notoricty
