Mediumship and its Laws, its Conditions and Cultivation by Hudson Tuttle

 

COMMUNICATING SPIRIT CANNOT CONTROL THE NUMBER OF MOVEMENTS OR SOUNDS

 

Often at first while the table will move or raps be heard, there is no certainty, and when questions are asked, the responses are unreliable or fail altogether. It will be readily understood that it is far easier to produce a sound, than to time that sound to a question. The controlling spirit may not have acquired the knowledge and skill of responding, and must be allowed time to perfect by practice.

 

GOOD RESULT

 

A correspondent writes: "Over two years ago we organized a home circle for investigating Spiritualism, and very shortly received what is known as table rappings and by observing certain established rules we received the names of many that we are thoroughly familiar with, and a great many that we did not know. Among those that we did not know was one that gave the Dame of F. Osborn, and said he was the manager of the circle. These raps continued two or three months, and all at once vanished as strangely as they came. But after the rappings stopped the sitters saw a white cloud-like vapor that would rise at different parts of the circle and float off, repeating itself ofttimes over and over again, and at the same time the sitters would feel something like the touch of fingers on different parts of the body. One of the members discontinued sitting on account of an ill influence taken on at circle. Can this be explained? and would it be advisable to continue circles?"

 

This statement shows what may be accomplished by the home circle. Such a beginning prophesies wonderful results if continued with earnestness; conditions that have been found most advantageous should be complied with, and the places of members that cannot attend supplied, and the circles held in one place at the appointed times. Continue by all means, with assurance that you have surprising manifestations in store for you.
