{{Style S-Small capitals|When}}, in response to an invitation from this society, I undertook to open a debate on the views of the Theosophists, there were no signs of the agitation which has since taken place, and which has been somewhat wide-spread, as I judge from my private Correspondence, and as evinced by the epistolary discussion in ''The Spiritualist ''newspaper during the past four or five weeks. Had we known what was impending, it is probable that you, as well as I, might have preferred to choose some other topic for discussion this evening. So much has been said about this one, that there seems little left to say. And yet it is likely that some friends not immediately concerned in the controversy, may have had their interest aroused, and may be asking, “What is all this about? We thought Spiritualists were all agreed as to the main points of Spiritualism? What is the good of disturbing us in our belief? Are we tending to a schism? What is to be the end of it all? What is Theosophy?” | {{Style S-Small capitals|When}}, in response to an invitation from this society, I undertook to open a debate on the views of the Theosophists, there were no signs of the agitation which has since taken place, and which has been somewhat wide-spread, as I judge from my private Correspondence, and as evinced by the epistolary discussion in ''The Spiritualist ''newspaper during the past four or five weeks.
