... | Our translator, Dr. G. L. Ditson, forwards us the following spicy letter | ||
concerning matters in the above named city, the visit of Miss Kislingbury, | |||
etc.: | |||
To the Editor of the Banner of Light: | |||
Miss Kislingbury, the estimable linguist and writer, and Secretary of the | |||
British National Association of Spiritualists, has honored me with a call on | |||
her way to Niagara Falls. Her health is quite good, though she seems somewhat | |||
wearied with much traveling. She has promised to spend a few days with us on | |||
her return eastward. | |||
Miss Kislingbury will doubtless receive much kind attention from all | |||
Spiritualists of the regions she may visit while in this country, not only on | |||
account of the responsible position she holds at home, but for her culture, | |||
her sincerity, and those graces which go to make up the charm of an | |||
intelligent woman. Her graphic descriptions of visits to Mons. Leymarie in | |||
prison, to the lovely rustic home of the distinguished Miss Blackwell (whose | |||
sterling works it has always been my pleasure to notice in my “Reviews” for | |||
the Banner), to the chateau of Prince Wittgenstein, etc., have the glow of a | |||
veritable romance, and make us envy her good fortune. She might add, too, | |||
tales of sorrow that tinge the lives of some of the eminent of our faith | |||
besides Leymarie's. They have our love and reverence—they do not ask our | |||
sympathy. | |||
Miss Kislingbury informs me that Mr. Colville is to visit the United States. | |||
From all that I have heard and read of him I believe there are few from over | |||
the water who should receive a more hearty welcome. He will undoubtedly give | |||
the most abundant satisfaction to all who may require his services. He, like | |||
Dr. Monck and Mrs. Cora L. V. Richmond, is one of the wonders of the age. | |||
The Spiritualists of Albany meet this afternoon for a new organization. We | |||
have enough Spiritualists here to make a strong show, and talent enough to | |||
make a permanently effective movement that will tell upon the age. I will, | |||
with your permission, report progress from time to time. | |||
Some exception has been taken to a recent communication in the Banner, in | |||
which it was stated that a hundred mediums would be sacrificed, if necessary, | |||
to establish some truth. Mediums are not any more willing to be sacrificed | |||
than other people; and if the spirits are so very willing thus to use them, | |||
they must be related to Artemus Ward, who was so generous with his first | |||
wife's relations. | |||
