' The $rst contairii iaottoes in two languages, quite unknown to cated faots, proving, not only that man exists after flCatlrfor <
the medium and all who were present. T he incident which it is
intended to iliu^tiate will be found fully described in. the ne5r,V«rk
about to appear. A ll ,th^t wa have to do at present isj to .affirm
that it. is from a drawing done by spirits direct, without tha use of
human agency; implying power, o f sight without physical light,
and a knowledge o f languages quite, foreign to the sitters. Here
are powerful arguments for the existence of spiritual beings; and

This interesting conttol having' ceased, Mtf’SSJrebn, a medium
under.development, was seized by an influence which excited his
sympathie&ina' lugti degree. U ltim ately it was Supposed tb at the
control might be for Mi. Burns, who stretched his band across the
table, and most marked i^dia^ions:<jf, affection wera exhibited by
the controlled medium. \T£e spirit W as ultimately identified as
that o f little Maggie Simpson, a child who passed away in
Oounty Durham two or three years ago.
In the afternoon the formal conference was somewhat better
attended, but there was a. scarcity o f visitors from a diqtflijpe.
N o ttiijliW i^ B ife a te d 'o n V ranotluies of railway, aiid i t is almost
impossible to get to it on the Sunday and return the same day.
There were, however, visitors from Belper, Derby, and other
places, and out a thin sprinkling of the Spiritualists of the town.
The room ultimately filled up.
Mr. -Hancock presided, and in his opening speech said their
association had gradually fallen to pieces, and it was resolved to
suspend public meetings entirely. A few moved a counter resolu­
tion, that a fresh start should he made, and hence that conference,
M fo Hitchcock had been their chief speaker. Some time ago her
guides indicated a change, and that she woqld be taken away from
them occasionally, and other speakers would be required. The
additional help expected had. not yet come forward, and thus the
intefiasthad very much fallen off. Mrs. Hitchcock’s guides had
pointed* tot:five reasons for. this disintegration. First, a want of
congeniality and harmony among those connected with the meet­
ings. Secondly, those who came were only half individuals, for
they left their souls behind them, and sat in their places more like
wooden effigies than living, feeling, human beings. Thirdly, a lack
of patience and perseverance in the work, and a tendency to give
up too soon if the results expected were notforthcoming. Fourthly,
a want of self-reliance. They all trust to the medium, and do
not fall back on their own resources, or seek for the development
of other mediums. Those who were mediumistic would not per­
m it themselves to be exercised, a id t h p the work of development
was interfered with. Fifthly, a ivftpt of attention to conditions,
punctuality as to time, and o $ § j arrangements.
Letters of apology were rea^frojn, several who could not attend.
An able letter was read froin, Jifo W . Russell, of Birmingham,
Secretary of the S ip ^ y -n i^ ^ g -w o y ^ m e h t there, in which he ad­
vocated the establi^inent.of^P-Spiritualists’ Lecture Union’’ for
the Midland Counties. The. plan £e proposed was to have the
names of all speakers on a card, so th at secretaries arranging for
meetings in the district might very sopn supply themselves with
necessary platform aid for their Sunday meetings.
Mr. Ashworth read the following Report
Seohetabt’s B e post.
Some ten or eleven years ago several of the friendB now present, viz.,
Mr. and Mrs. Hitohoock, Mi. Prqotor, the writer, and others who have
since passed on to spirit-wo^l^, might have been seen sitting round a
table and endeavouring to oljijain, gpjne proof tijat those “ gone before”
were not deador lying in %“ dreaming sleep.’’
After a few sittings without any apparent success, the table moved,
and those we loved on earth purported to ba in our midst. The meet­
ings gradually inoreased in interest, and test upon test was given. Ulti­
mately,

No. 1. 'Both young and old will ever remember the many happy, and
.0 I may say profitable, hours, spent in oonneotion with this
beautiful institution. We started' with bjjt few ohildren, but have had,
aa the journal will show, as many as eiglity on-the roll. After awhile
the interest somewhat decreased, and many fell off. Some could not
stand the scoffs of the ignorant, others gre# up and were led off by
companions, while others, whose parents were not Spiritualists, gradu­
ally lost their former interest, and left us. Others, I am glad to say,
kept on till its last expiring breath, whioh oeSufred'aoSne fettP -mo&ths
ago. The numbers being so small, we thought we might instruot our­
selves more by starting an adult class, which meets here fortnightly,
when essays, paperB, and addresses are given, and have proved to be of
a yery interesting and instructive nature. Some nine or ten months ago
it was deemed advisable by some to ohange the name of this sooiety, ap
there were friends who felt that they oould not beeome i^etAber^ p# a
Spiritualist sooiety, they not being fully oonvinoed who cduid join siibh :

have for more than ten ’ years field publio Sunday evening meetings,
whioh have been attended by many hundreds of the inhabitants of this
town. We hope this pleasant gathering will be productive of muoh
good, and that we may go on with our work of uprooting error and
superstition, and in its plaoe planting truth, happiness, and love, ever
remembering that we have the aid of the bast of earth’s departed ones,
who are still anxious to bless humanity,—On behalf of the oommittee,

Nottingham, October 28th, 1875.
Mr. Morton rose and said he reganled the Spiritual Institution
as related to the cause in all parts o f th$. country, as the sun is
related to the earth and other planet?., I t might be said that the
sun gave light gratuitously, but. g ^n -bad to work, |ig the ground,
sow seed, and put himself to expenses) and exert biinaelf in labour,
or the sun’s heat -^oifl^bring about a fm d e M ie .tljr ^ He there­
fore argued that tp;olj>$iin the* fijj, benefit o | t j ^ i . ^ p j i a l Institu­
tion, the same cau se^as necessary as to reap tlw advantages of
the light and heat of the sun. B y helping the Spiritual Institu­
tion with its work, assistance was afforded to the ]$oyement every­
where. To get the advantage of the sun,, we had to open our
abodes and admit its ra y s; and so, to gain the advantages of the
Spiritual Institution, Spiritualists should open their minds to its
literature, and make efforts to spread it amopg others. Those who
had no knowledge of the benefits of the Spiritual Institution were
those who refused to avail themselves of the advantages it con­
ferred. The literature was calculated to open up the minds of
many enlightened, thoughtful people to the subject who could not
be reached by any other means. The reduction o f the M edium
in price to one penny would, he considered, be a great boon to the
public an4 the cause. N ext year he intended to take two copies
instead of one, apd i f five hundred Spiritualists would do, the same,
tWs would be a means of introducing the M ed iu m to 2,000 m V
readersimOijtljlyi and. to upwards of 25,6op in. the course of tpe
year. T h jstirfat iy6rk cou],d, be accomplished by the expenditure
o f o n ^ anad d j^bnaliial^enny a week; asad t^e expense. wa^ §a
trifling,' and. th£ results so great, that he had no doubt tjiose wfi.o

the shrewdness and.hard-headedness of Whately, together with a double
measure of his capacity.and intellectual energy, went even further in.
signifying his assent as a philosopher not only to the facto, but to the
extreme probability of the spiritualistic explanation of those facts. His
“ Cpllectanea,” published in their new, form posthumously, under the
name of “ Paradoxes,” will satisfy any unlearned reader as thoroughly as
his treatises on the “ Doctrine of Probabilities,’’ and, on the “ Quantitifitotion of the Predicate,” or hih celebrated artiole in the Penny Cyclopadia,
headed, “ Sufficient- Beason—Want of,” l^ave long sinoe convin-ced the
most learned that he waB about the last mail ever born into the world to
give hasty, ill-considered credence to a pfcwkof old wives' tales, or' indeed
to anything of whioh his exacting intelleot wasi not abundantly certified.
Lord Lindsay, who is one of the few members of noble.houses devoted
to soientifio pursuits, has no more doubt ofthe transit of Mr, Home, the
famous medium, in mid-air, than he has of the transit of yenushe witnessed
in the Mauritius last November, or of the fovor whioli attaoked him before
he returned, and has hardly yet left him. W. M. Thaiikei^y was too well
trained a satirist to Btoop very willingly to Buoh follies is'table-spinning
and Davenport Brotherism, unless stunned into belief by overwhelming
evidenoe. It was in consequbnoe of this belief and riot, as WaBsupposed
at the time, from a desire to poke fun at the savants, ot to titillate the
public relish for Comhill, that he admitted1into^the'pages'of that
magazine the remarkable artiole which a few years ago startled its
numerous readers. The late Lords Lyndhurst and.fyoVgham, were
a .little on. the wane as to their intellectual faculties, it is true, when
they were brought face to face with spiritualistic factoand theories; but
there was not, even to the last, any such abatement of natural force
in these wonderful old lawyers as might justify the reference of their
conversion, more ot less, to spiritualism to dotage; Witb Lord Brougham
indeed, it did not go quite as far aBconversion, but oonviotion as to the
reality o f the unaccotintablenesB of the phenomena there Undoubtedly
was, and he was; to his dying hour, not at all a likely victim ,of gross
imposture. Dr, Slliotson, the eminent physiologist, was for years
the most formidable, because at once the most capable and tbe most
earnest, opponent pf all Buoh pretensiona aa thoserput forwafd by or on
behalf of Mr. Home. Yet: ne was. obliged. to fgiye in—not, indeed,
definitely to tiie whole system or philosophy of spiritualistio oiroles,
but to the not less important extent of “ a reoognitito of the reality
of these manifestations, from whatever pausej,which is tending itprevolu-,
tionise my thoughts and feelings on almost eve^ subjept,’’ and to .the
expression of a touching regret that hehadnotkhPwri'theBe .things

is now not merely outward profession, but entire and solemn oonviotiori.” But who in the wide world would have euapeoted Nassau William
Senior—Political Economy Senior—of being inolined- to this new-fangled
doctrine, going so far as to prediot that before the -olose of this oentury
these phenomena would be found subjeot to ascertained laws, and as
suoh of course openly olaimed and owned by science ? Mr. T. Adolphus
Trollopd is for certain reasons-not quite suoh an important witness as
those just mentioned, and perhaps there might be imagined some latent
reason for .discounting tne testimony of William and Mary Howitt,
because of their finely constituted natures and highly oultivatea feelings.
But the list iBby no means exhausted, whereas our space is rapidly be­

or six years, ago, so that when it was understood that the .editor of
the ,Quarterly Journal of Science, Mr. William Crookes,. P.-E.S., was
entering upon a systematic inquiry into thp alleged phenomena of Spiri­
tualism, there was a sense of relief in many cultivate-minds, and in not
a few something like a sly ohuckling in anticipation of the tremendous
fiasco Mr. CircpW was sure to bring about. To most; eduoawjl people.
the name of this inquirer was a sufficient gu&antee that riothirig raah

Dr. Sexton, M r. Bum s, and other friends will make a few
appropriate remarks at intervals.
W e repeat out invitation of last week, that, should any friends
be in the possession of objects of interest , in a spiritual point of
view, the loan of stich for the evening will contribute to the enjoy­
ment o f .this rfymion; also, that friends from the country will be
specially welcome.
Considering that one purpose of this social meeting is to com­
memorate the Opening of the Doughty H a ll. Sunday services* and
to aid in their continuance, we expect a large atjJBndance.
Single tickets, 2s- ; double tickets, 3s. 0d., admitting; a lady and
gentleman. W e would impress, upon one friends the.desirability
of making early application for tickets, in. order to facilitate' the
arrangements.

Tickets to be had at 15, Southampton Row, Holbom, and after
the services at Doughty H a ll/14, Bedford Row.
The musical rehearsal evenings for those who wish accom­
paniment, are appointed on Friday, November 5th and 12th, and

THE OrECULATION OF; T H E /' M EDIUH.”
To the Editor.—Dear Sir,—I am. a oonatant .readet of the M ediuh
and several other of your publications, and endeavour to help .you and
the cause by giving several M ediums awa/-weekly.through my news­
agent, but if a placard was plaoed outaide the news-ahop, detailing its
various contents, it would be an indufcetaent for passers-by to purehase
one. I f you print these plaoards, I will pay you the expense of sending
one weekly to M r. Andrewy late Pearson, news-agent', Hyde. I have
hopes, with the assistance of the news-agent, to double the circulation of
the M edium here by the new year, and after:the reduction to ld., that
it will be doubled again.—I remain, yours faithfuUy,

A VOICE FROM. SUNDERLAND.
- —
To the Editor.-?-Dear Sir,—I am very anxious, in oommon with a few
friends, to investigate Spiritualism, and to this end am Very wishful for
an introduction intd a oirole in Sunderland or neighbourhood. In faot,
I would not consideir it a trouble to travel thirteen miles to^Newoastleon-Tyne if only I could have my curiosity Bomewhat gratified, whioh.
has'been aroused; by reading Peebles's “ Seers of the1Ages,” and Fritz's.
“ Where are the Dead;?’’ &c. I would esteem it a favour if you would
!•kindly give -me some’ advice or information in this matter, either by
roply to tbis Qr. through the ohannBl of the Mbdiuh, the reading of
which :flrstdnduoed>me to inquire into it. Asking pardon for encroach­
ing onyour valuable-time; yours,
John Grace.

O ldham ,—On Sunday last our speaker did not make his appearanoe.
The'afternoon meeting we turned into a oonferenoe. At?night we were
alBo without a speaker, when it occurred to me to give Out the hymn,
and make some remarks. While we were singing, Mr. Jdhrison* of
Hyde, made his appearanoe, and he complied with, my invitation to::
speak. Before being entranced, he told us that on .leaving-home in the
morning he felt undeoided as to whether he could return to tea in the
evening. After his leoture at Manchester in the afternoon, Mr, Fitton,
asked him to tea, but he said he was going to Oldham; but what he was
going for he did not know. One ot his controls subsequently told us
that they had brought him to speak for us, showing that they knew we
had no speaker, of whioh Mr. Johnson had no knowledge till be got to
Oldham. We all felt deeply grateful when Mr. Johnson made his
appearanoe. His disoourse was on “ Practical Living.” At the oIosb of:
the meeting suggestions were made that Mr. Johnson speak in Oldham,,
at the Spiritual Institute, Waterloo Street,; on Sunday*’ Noyember.14,
for the benefit of the London Spiritual Institution. Mir. Johnson offered
hiB servioes—in the morning at 10.30, afternoon 2.30, evening'at 6
o’olook. This was brought before our oommittee, and they unanimously
agreed that the proceeds should go to the institution1at London, and we
hope tbat the Spiritualists in the surrounding distriot swill oome forward
ana give us tbeir support, so that We may be abte-to send froin Oldbam
a liberal donation to assist our brother Bums; Who is a medinm for'tbe
spreading bf truth, which we believe is so oaloulated to benefltthe human .
