FOREWORD

When the telephone was first exploited as a means of interlocution, prominent business men refused to invest capital in it, for they looked upon the invention as a toy.

In the matter of communication between this earth and discarnate minds, there is a diversity of opinion ranging from sheer negation to positive assurance.

That human personality survives bodily death is only another way of stating the doctrine, held even by ancient pagan philosophers, Plato among them, that the soul is immortal. The author of this volume abundantly witnesses that there are controls, or intelligences, that transmit messages through the medium, or automatist. The book is a narrative of personal experiences in which the phenomena of sensory and motor automatism and of clairvoyance are recounted by the writer, who is a noted automatist. The veracity of the highly dramatic incident in the New York court room and of what led up to it is attested by the generous publicity given the event in newspapers. But the truth of the numerous other happenings is not less incontrovertible because less known to the public.

To those interested in psychic research the author addresses herself, not in pages of theory and hearsay, but with concrete examples of the signal powers she exercises. The skeptic and the scoffer should bear in mind that many facts of physical nature, which to us have no element of novelty or surprise, our forefathers shrank from as manifestations of the black art, or as exceeding all possibility. A century hence what we now know only through a glass and darkly, will perhaps be as unmistakably clear as other disclosures in the arts, the sciences, and the life beyond, of which at present we have no inkling.

The poem, used as an introductory, was composed by the author's daughter, the "Ronile" of the narrative, who at the time was twelve years old. The thought in it is that of an observant and imaginative child with whose right to happiness domestic mischances played mischief, and she rapidly set down her thoughts in the ungarnished form they came to her.

LESLIE FRASER GORDON.
