NEW YORK, Dec. 27.--ls spirit

u,rs sublime or ridiculous
Are any OF us justified in saying
the outElviugs OF paid mediums are
mere twaddIe. or, on the other hand,
precious udings?
And is ghostly message more 10

Recent revival OF interest In tho
worls beyond Is due. naturally. TO
me great numbers OF those VINO have
,eit th.s mortal land .A~compat so
uddenly and so terribly that de
,pairing relatives OF the dead have
fesOrtcd 10 Lhat last OF last resorts,
the medium and her inyocations.
But every now and then comes "A
reliable and worthy citizen with an
apparent power. whether from the
spirlt land or fum the sub-conSciOus
mind, none can say, Such person
Is Mrs. j. Ii. Curran, whose brain
child or spirit friend, Patience
Worth. has attracted much com

We were curious 10 learn what a
fair minded scientist and mental
specialist would say about Patience,
her relationship 10 Mrs Curran, and
the fact of the strange literature
Patience produces 80 prolifically.
The views of DR.. John Duncan
Quackenbos were souht, he being a
distinguished physician whose work
In mental thcrapy and whose out
standing views on AL modern ques-
tons have brought him fame.
Il believe that the writings OF
Mrs. j. II. Curran. which she says
come from spirit named Patience
Worth are the expression OF her own
.Sublimlnal self, that is far reaching

However. ] have no right to deny
that perhaps a spirit Is giving II 10
her. but l will simply say 1 am az

'ln the case OF persons who make
the ouiia board move, ] believe there
Ia presiding inner force which does
this. an inner mind. These super
normal expressions are some times
due TO what We may call u sixth
fense.
Il try always in explaining these
phenomena to get rid OF the idea OF
spirits and to depend on the facts Of
the inner forces OF personalities.
II have never seen any evidence
OF reliable communication with the
spirit world Sir oliver Lodge and
others to tho contrary.
There has never been any COM
municaton OF value impaired in
his way. And understand. l am
mlking Of spiritlsm--a better wort
than spiritualism- when stripped
Of all It's trimmings and humbug
Ninety per cent OF II anyway is
legerdemain and deception,
what is left outside OF that-the
remaining 10 per cent have al
ways attributed TO the automatic eN-
ercise OF psychic force that Is resi-
dent In every human being. but
manifested by paratlvely few,
who are known as mediums That's

Il have great respect for the hu-

Il believe In immortality | can't
