The Itobcrt Clarke "Company. Publishers, Cincinnati. The author of this rather obscure and mvstieal-gropihg work has written a number of works of the same character, including "The Genius of Free .masonry," "A Study of Man," "Christ os," "Mystic- Masonry." "Constructive Psychology." "The Lost Word Found,'' and others in that general field. He gives full credit in the present book to the idea that there is great importance to attach to spiritualism, spiritual-ism, mediumship, and the like. The author says positively "Another plane of life exists. individuals on cither plane communicate with the controlling entity on the supra-physical plane. Again he nsserts that "It should be remembered that, the annals of Spiritualism, Spirit-ualism, and the records of scientific Psychical Research, have demonstrated tho "possibility and the fact of 'such control." con-trol." Of course, when one goes out into the rounds of speculative and mystical mys-tical inquiry like this, aud under takes to say' that the, very point al issue is-sue in all these matters is fully demonstrated, demon-strated, and proceeds to build up his system upon the assumption of this demonstration, there is nothing further to say about it, except that the whole stuff is uttor trash. |
