At the State convention of Spiritualists, held in Marshall, Mich., Dec. 11, 1870, Mr Fox made the following statements in regard to the influence and condition of Spiritualism in this State: It had been said that Spiritualism was dying out, but he could prove that there had never been that deep interest manifest in the subject, as at the present time. Five years ago there were but five organized societies in the State; to-day there are over 150. He had traveled through every part of the State, and made close estimates as to their number, which he claims to be over 30,000 avowed and open believers, not including the hundreds that are in the churches. He had conversed with many ministers who acknowledge the feasibility of communion with the departed spirits of men, and who were ready to work in this field as soon as an opportunity and organization afforded.
