I MODERN sPIRITIsM. By A. Il Schofield, M. D., vicepresident, Victoria institute, London. Author of "Uncon- scious Therapeutics; The Uncon- scious Mind" etc.. with a foreword by | Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, rector of | Plymouth church, Brooklyn. Publish CTS, P. Blakistons Son & Co.,, 1912 | Walnut street, Philadelphia Cloth | S1.50 postpaid.
 What do we really know about spir itism? How are we facing this new foe of Christianity-this propaganda which would superimpose a science upon religion? Are we trying to mere ly laugh it out of court" {that can't be done); or are we seeking to gain the knowledge which will enable us to dis cuss it intelligently. and make 1t, in- stead of a foe, forceful fighter for the faith?
 There is something in spiritism, but it is something which makes for a stronger evangelical faith.
 There is something ir spiritism. but it is something which, if properly in- terpreted makes for a greater spirit ualism.
 There is something in spiritism, and we can make that something a most powerful weapon in the cause of Chris tianity.
 Modern Spiritism" tells that some thing clearly, concisely, thoroughly. Dr. A. T. Schofield has for 30 years been one of the most acute students of the science. A physician, specialist in psychiatry, a psychologist, he has brought to his study a thorough scien- tific preparation, an exceptional ana lytic and synthetic ability and mind singularly gifted by nature and trained by long experience to distinguish be- tween that which is seeming and that which is real. He has known nearly every prominent proponent of spiritism during this long period; he has been present at numerous seances; he has had available perhaps more data than any other man; he has delved to the depths.
 The book is simple, straightforward, understandable.
