be unable to understand that mediums,
particularly clairvoyants, receive the
truths they impart in the way Of SYM
bOls.
How Visions Interpret
Thus n clairvoyant may catch q
glimpse, in a misty way, Of a ship at
sea above the head Of a visitor. It
suggests that the visitor is a sailor, or
has been at sea, or is related to some
seafaring person.
"A moment later the figure of a
man appears in sailor garb. lie bears
close resemblance to the sitter. A
brother, perhaps. and the symbols are
thus interpreted You have a brother
who Is a sailor. lie has been in storm
"At this moment there appears the
vision Of this same sailor hurrying along
the streets of q city. He may be in
civilian clothes. 1t is of n man ap.
parently returning to his home. So
the message as interpreted reads:
Your sailor brother has escaped
shipwreck. He is on his way home. You
may expect him to arrive any time now.
He is In good health and spirits.
"Wc spiritualists do not expect me-
diums to impart with the utmost clear.
ness and lucidity messages from those
on the other side. The difficulties Of
communication between the two worlds
are immeasurably greater than any

due allowance, for distorted messages
