Chapter 11.
Spiritualism: An Imposture
The days are past now for believers in spiritualism and spirit manifestations, as the present age is growing more enlightened, and the majority of people look upon these feats as being clever tricks, and the performer is applauded accordingly. It is the height of foolishness for any performer to do such-and-such a feat assisted by spirits, because the public will look upon him as an imposture. It is not unusual, however, to find some person more simpleminded than others, who really believes what the performer says; but such people are indeed simple and foolish to put their faith in such twaddle.
