Who and What Are They?

HERE is an illustration reproduced in the Literary Digest of October 16, 1909, showing the interior of what was formerly Mr. W.-T. Stead’s office, but which is now a “Spirit Bureau.” The Digest says:
“Mr. Stead’s ‘bureau’ of communication with departed souls is said to be in working order, and many successful efforts to communicate with the other world are affirmed. Not long ago he wrote a magazine article which we quoted, setting forth his determination to establish an office where people by the payment of a small contribution to the ‘Borderland Library’ could talk with friends who had entered the spirit world. His agent for communications on the other side is his familiar, known as ‘Julia,’ identical with an American lady whom he once knew and with whom since her death he acknowledges frequent communication.
“At present the number of applications is about half a dozen a day, and it is declared that, of the cases accepted, about seventy-five per cent have ‘gone through’—that is, communication is believed to have been established.”
It is no longer a question, even in the scientific world, as to whether or not communications are actually received through supernatural agencies. The question is, What are these agencies? You will find this question answered to your entire satisfaction in “Spirit World,” a pamphlet of 96 pages written by Prof. George W. Rine. Price, 10 cents.
