Notes:

Cover title.

"Copyright, 1920, by "The Missionary Society of St. Paul the Apostle in the State of New York."

"The great wave of Spiritism which is threatening the sanity of the world is based on a common, though by no means universal desire to enter into some form of communion with the dead, to receive assurance of their survival, of their welfare, of the conservation of their human affections ... If we content ourselves with a spiritual bond, which is a real and vital thing, if we can dispense with rapping tables, and the spelling of words on a ouija board, and the intrusion of controls, then something stronger, sweeter, holier than the disjointed intercourse of the séance will unite us with the faithful departed. Like David, we shall go to them, but they shall not return to us."
