These are the exact facts, and II IN
any point you dispute them ] am pre-
pared 10 get the testimony Of all Vho
were present. As 20 the singing II
was carefully explained TO you, since
II was your first seanee and YOU were
ignorant Of psychic matters, that
vibration Of III, air does help matters

religious, which would never be the
case had the management of sasnee-
Every medium has individual methoda
quite agree that there is something
ineongruous and even comic in promis-
euous conversation or music in which
the mediums controls join, but this has
to BE carefully dissoeiated from those

attitude Of the controls Is at least con-
