DESIRE FOR RECOGNITION

"We grow impatient here at times at the delay of earth people in their recognition of our presence, especially by investigators whose word would have much authority if given in our support. We have given the world proof after proof, and yet they want still more. We think the time has come for us to insist that they give their attention to the vast accumulation of evidence, and make some use of it.

"No honest investigator has really denied the reality of our manifestations. But it is so difficult to get them to publicly admit it. We are trying to use our influence now to have some one make a thorough analysis of the quantity of material that is in their hands, with the determination to show that there is sufficient to supply a firm foundation for a spiritistic belief."

We said that Prof. Richer had made some analysis of that kind, but had failed to arrive at a spiritistic belief.

"We know. We hoped he would be the one to do it. We think there are several others who will be amenable to our influence, and we hope for some show of success."
