desperate and serious offense,"
Sir Arthur said. "The hand of
Providence cannot be forced.
The person ,disobeying this in
junction will find himself iso-
lated on the other side until he
or she expiates the offense.
The act separates the offender
from the one he or she loves
until the spirit has paid the
penalty.
''This incident demonstrates
the great danger in the present
lack of knowledge concerning
the subject of spiritualism. IL
this poor woman had been better
informed on matters of life
after death she never would
have committed the act. True
knowledge would have safe
guarded her against it."
