PSYCHIC PHENOMENA
SUBJECT OF DEBATE
Secular League Members Hear Talks
from F. A. FernaId and
DR.. H. P. HoIIer.

At its regular weekly meeting at
Pythian Temple yesterday, the Wash
ingtOn Secular League was addressed by
Frederick \. Fernald. formerly of the
editorial staff of Popular Science Month
~. and Or. Helmut p HOller president
OF Oriental University of this city, on the
subject Psychic Phenomena VS. Spirit
ualism.' \ general discussion OF the
subject was also participated in by a
number Of others present at the meeting
Mr.. Fernald held that a large portion
of alleged spirit phenomena is pure
fraud, and that the rest is psychic, orig
mating from within and not from with
out" The mind" he declared. often
sees realities, things which do not exist -
He regarded telepathy as a reality, and
as the explanation Of the more subtle
aspect of alleged spirit phenomena. The
speaker admitted that absolute proof Of
the correctness of his explanation is not
possible in our present state of knowl-
edge. but held that it is much more rea-
sonable and in accord with what we do
know than is the explanation that the
phenomena is due to invisible intelli-
gences.
DIR. Holler contended that spiritism
deals with a reality, and not a phan-
tasm, and that psychic and spirit phe-
nOmena are Identical He pronounced
death but change of garments" and
declared that instead of losing our iden-
tity at death. our personality will be-
come more intense" In an extended and
able paper. the speaker attempted to
maintain his positions.
y feature Of DR.. HOIler's remarks was
A somewhat bitted arraignment of agnos-
ticism and agnosticss He declared that
the real enimies OF society to-day are
the hateful agnostics, who refuse to see
the light themselves. and prevent others
from entering into its enjoyment"
