"The movement is making great strides in England. England now leads the world in psychic matters.

"The last victory was the report of the Morning Post. It is our oldest and most solid paper. It appointed two Commissioners to examine the whole subject. They both reported very sympathetically both upon the physical & more particularly upon the religious aspects.

"It is the religious philosophy which is really most important. It is a new explanation of all those things which have perplexed the human brain . . . .

"This is rational & it comes with all the authority of hundreds & hundreds of messages from the beyond . . . .

"It all opens up a glorious future of hope & happiness for our race."
