...conspiracy against his country in time of war is the latest attempt to punish a man whose political career has been so shadowy as to excite grave suspicion, but who, up to the present time, has always been clever enough to obey the letter, while manifestly violating the spirit, of the law.

Professor G. Stanley Hall is President of Clark university and has devoted his life to the scientific study of the mind. Unlike so many who are antagonistic to spiritism, he does not rail against mediums and spirit-rappings in genera. but clearly shows that as yet no sound proof of the existence of an after-life through spirits has been demonstrated.
