< Spiritualism, and Some of Its Recent Critics (continued from page 4-124) >
culties are of our own making. We shall never be free—how should we?—from assault by spiritual foes. Is not advanced truth always an object of detestation to those who from ignorance cannot see any beauty in it that they should desire it, as well as to those who have aversion to light? But we, ourselves, do our best to make pure spirit-communion a thing rare as it is lovely. That is the indictment, and it is true.
For the rest, the theories advanced, like many others less vraisemblable, cover only a part of the ground, and while it is well that they should have their due weight, no undue prominence can be given them without ignoring what is the very heart and life of Spiritualism.
Though it is obvious, I guard myself from possible misconception by saying that there is much in Colonel Olcott’s valuable paper which I have not touched, as not coming within my present scope.
December 24th, 1877.
