paying every tribute to Madame

an attempt had been made to per.

clumsy hoax.
METHODS OF CONTROL.
There Is one Small point which
some people have raised. and which
M. Marcel Provost has referred to
in the press. ''How 10 IT," they
ask. that the experimenters failed
to catch the medium red.handsd2"
The answer to that 10 that to catch
the medium red.handed, under the
conditions ruling during the expert.
ments. was extremely difficult
one might almost say impossible,
especially a. tho phenomena"
were q considerable rarity.
"Weil. them" someone urges,
"you should have let the medium
think you were lot Of simplstons,
have given her plenty Of rope, al
lowed her to perform some piece of
elementary trickery. and then have
come down on her suddenly"
No, We couldn't 60 to work that
way. The control had to be fair
and square and aboveboard, ana to
be carried out on agreed lines.
Therefore. there was only one con-
troll possible. the one employed,
viz. the control Of the phenomenon
itself.
As for the argument artlessiy(D
advanced by the Spiritualists to the
effect that Eva was not in the
right frame Of mind. and 20 on
and 30 forth, this would have been
all very well II nothing had taken
place. Unfortunately, something did
take place. Az remarked one day
to Madame Bisson, IL only she had

have been left in doubt. OF course,
Madame Bisson would not for a
moment allow that there had been
trickery this conversation took
place on June 2D. but, all the same,
she exclaimed: "Ah, how sorry I
am that I agreed to this testr' To
this I answered: May. madame,
that Ii the last thing you should
<ay. On the contrary, you have
taken a brave and straightforward
step. and II does you the highest
honor"
For my part, I will conclude
this article with one simple OBJ

WORE ONE GARMENT.
The experiments, "L'opinion"
states. were conducted with the
strictest scientific accuracy. The
medium. having divested herself
Of her mundane attire in the pres
ence of Madame Bisson and one of
the professors, clothed herself in
a dark. skin.tisht garment resem.
bling bathing dress, and took her
seat In an armchair In a space
separated from the rest Of the
room by black curtains.
The professors were warned that
any sudden light or sound would
in all probability hinder the mani.
festation Of the mysterious sub
stance. 1t was also impressed
upon them that the substance,
when It did appear. must on no
account be touched. lest by so
doing they should cause serious
injury, or even death, to the
medium.
The warning was unnecessary,
because. after fifteen patient ex.
periments. in the course Of which
the medium repeatedly declared.

that the following points seem
to be gradually clear.
1. When the medium Ia not
controlled, phenomena are pro.

2. When the medium is con.
trolled, the phenomena diminish
in proportion as the control is in.
creased.
3. When the control is absolute,

father at work among the Yorkshire
soldiers in France in 1914; how one
night to bunch back from the
trenches he had not preached, but had
called the men to spend an hour writ
ing home; how one man had written
to his old mother to whom he had
rot sent message in many years
and how, after repeating the prayer
that mother Taught him, had been
converted-to go back to the trenches
and debut only after the letter
with postscript by Gipsy Smith, ST.,
telling of his conversion, had gone
to the old mother in the, Yorkshire
hills. "Nhen you get man to re-
member his mother, it is easy to get
him to think about Jesus" declared
the preacher, "A man never forgets
his mothers prayers" he con-
tinued.
Pausing, the preacher asked every
man in the audience who could re-
member the first prayer his mother
had taught hir, to say to hold up his
hand-and sea Of hands went up,
more than two thousand in all. The
impression of the incident was pro-

viewed the record of Peter, the i'm

Jesus thrice asked later, Lowest thou

Concluding in an earnestness tha,
stilled the already quiet and attentive
audience to such seriousness that
every word could be heard to the out
