Mr. Eglinton’s wonderful powers, as a Spiritualistic medium, are beginning to develops themselves more clearly and distinctly. He has been holding a ''seance ''again with the same sitters as on the last occasion, at the house of Babu Denonath Mullick, Parsi Bagan, Upper Circular Road, Calcutta. In our opinion, it was even more successful than the last one… Two materialised spirits appeared—one of a Hindu lady, and the other of a Hindu gentleman; but on this occasion not in the dark, but in the light of a lamp, though the light was not brilliant. They were the father and mother respectively of two of the gentlemen present. The forms, though distinctly visible as of a Hindu lady and a Hindu gentleman, were not quite recognisable yet, in their spirit life. We hope they will be so on a future occasion. But the most noticeable features of the last ''stance ''were the following: One of the sitters was requested to write the name of one of his departed relatives. The name written was not at all shown to Mr. Eglinton, nor did he know it, or was likely to know it before. The bit of paper, on which the name was written, was then folded up, and handed over to Mr. Eglinton, who, ''as soon as he received ''it in its folded state, burnt it in the flame of the lamp before which he sat. It was immediately reduced to ashes, and Mr. Eglinton then rubbed the ashes over one of his arms, which was laid bare and found to be quite clear, and ''free from any writing at all. ''But scarely had Mr. Eglinton rubbed the ashes over his arm, when the name of the departed relative of the sitter appeared in a minute or so in ''distinctly legible ''characters over the very arm, spelt similarly as on the bit of paper itself. But the most striking thing was this. When the materialised spirits had disappeared, a distinct sound of writing was heard in the dark for two or three seconds only, and immediately, when a light was brought in, a card was found stuck up on the edge of a book, near a certain distinguished sitter, and the following Sanskrit text appeared on it, in pencil, in pure and excellent Bengali handwriting, with the initials in English of one “P”:—“''Tapasha Brahma bijigya sumbo,” ''which, when rendered into English, runs as follows:—“By devotion, and knowledge of God, a person is united with Him,’’ ''i.e., ''he attains salvation. | |||
We may well look forward to still more startling glimpses into the spirit world, through the agency of Mr. Eglinton’s certainly most extraordinary powers. No man who has witnessed his ''seances ''can possibly doubt the genuineness of his manifestations. | |||
