Excerpt from The Truth of Spiritualism
At the beginning of the nineteenth century a wave of spiritual development swept over the world.
Men began to question of the Life Beyond as they had not previously questioned. The Theosophists on the one hand, and the Spiritualists on the other, announced new discoveries - and prophesied a new order of human experience. Professional mediums offered proofs of communication with the "other side." Books sprang mushroom-like from the soil of explanation. Seances, spirit life, spirit teaching, brought in their wake a whole flotilla of lesser craft, such as table-turning, clairvoyance and physical phenomena, more or less trustworthy. A great outcry arose. The Church, as ever, was the severest judge and the most dogmatic denouncer of a "new thing."
