Hypatia establishes her claim to having been the Neoplatonic Philosopher; and the Author's spirit teacher, aider and guide. She communed with him regarding mind and soul or spirit, and their relation to Deity. She likewise outlined her philosophy, and the tenets of her creed, and what she had taught the people. She dealt also with psychic phenomena in the seance room; and concluded with a brief autobiography, and reference to her martyrdom. The answers to questions submitted and some statements added, were transmitted by speaking them into the telephone receiver, the subjective mind of the instrument, which controlled the automatic hand to reproduce them in writing. The instrument named as "The Human-Psychic-Telephone."

And upholds life's continuity. Proves spirits return and commune with mortals. A wonderful production through "The Human-Psychic-Telephone," of rhyming tendency.

Chapter 30
Does the spirit of Wm. T. Stead commune with the Author: By automatic psychic's written messages? By independent writing on slates? By speaking through trumpets? By talking through trance mediums? By dictating? Through clairaudients? And by talking with the vocal organs of his transient body, a duplicate of his earthly body expression, all of which claim to be him? Look at the picture of him, as he first came and materialized at the Jonson seance—and was reproduced, nine days later, on canvas, by spirit artist Rembrandt, aided by Hermes, ruler of the power of levitation. Stead's claim of, and comment on, the picture. Does not all the varied evidence sustain the claim? Several spirits confirm it.

Chapter 31
An evidential chapter of strong testimony. A long list of volunteer witnesses. Evidence for truth of life's continuity, Return and communication, in perpetuity. Are not my loved ones, who have proved to me, And my spirit guides, and others near, Including noted ones who no longer fear, Bringing to mankind good cheer? Are not work and book endorsed by them, As coming from the spirit sphere? The evidence bids strong for coming change, From base desire, and sordid greeds, From selfish wants, and warring creeds, To waking minds to truth, and human needs. From war, distrust, unrighteousness, To peace with knowledge, and pure happiness, To trust in God's own fatherhood, To faith in man's true brotherhood; When all humanity will know and realize, Immortal life awaits them in the skies.

An extraordinary materializing seance December 24th, with a private lady psychic in conscious state. No artificial light used. Spirit callers illuminate the room during their presence. They approach and depart regardless of walls, floor and ceiling, some quickly, some slowly. About a score conversed with the Author. Demonstrations were both strong and new. A clairaudient doctor writes. Evidential matter as he hears the spoken words.
