116 HARTMANN'S WHO'S WHO In December, 1921, while alone in the city of Los Angeles, California, we casually entered the basement room of a neat looking Spiritualist Church where we noticed the sign "Trumpet Medium"; the lady who said she was the pastor of the church congregation, a middle aged woman of highly intellectual and ethical .appearance, by name, Mrs. Ine'Z Wagner, kindly offered to attempt to give me a private trumpet seance; we entered a small library or study and after placing two chairs and a trumpet in the center of the room, lowered the blind on the window so that it was almost dark as we seated ourselves. Soon the trumpet seemed to lift itself into the air and these words were uttered from same, "Charles Hyde, I am your father"; I am very certain that no person thereabout knew me nor did any one knowing me, know where I was at that time; no questions had been asked me and there was no possible way in which my name could have been known to any one thereabouts, except under laws of nature not as yet understood by many. It was not a case of fraud, but a case of phenomena. After some satisfying conversation with what purported to be my father's spirit, another voice spoke through the trumpet saying, "This is Charles Leavitt, the man you were named after"; I cannot remember that for years I had thought of Mr. Leavitt, who was an old boyhood chum of my father's; there was certainly no one in that city who knew the facts regarding my middle name .as given to me in the conversation I had then and there with what purported to be the spirit or intelligence of Charles Leavitt. Other voices spoke to me, one a woman's voice who seemed unable to speak except in whisper; she gave the name of Harriet Austin, a lady I had had business dealing with many years ago. Another wonderful experience I had a few years ago, I feel more free to speak of, as my youngest son Theodore, then aged; twelve years was with me; my father's form appeared in full materialization before me; I said, "Theodore, do you see what I see?" and he replied, "Why yes, that is Grandfather, isn't it?" Never in my experience have I been given at any seance or meeting I have attended, any expression or communication which has had in it any immoral element; everything that I have seen or heard .at such times has been of the highest moral and ethical import. In the face of such experience it is difficult indeed to ascribe it to evil forces and one comes to know tha:t it is not delusion nor illusion; the terms of hypnotism or telepathy or subconscious mind do not answer an intelligent mind as explanation or cause. I hold that it is much more reasonable to accept the explanations and interpretations of numerous scientific minds, of the world's greatest personalities and pro· foundest students of the subject, who have devoted years of their time and effort to investigating and experimenting, with the sole purpose of ascertaining what is the truth, what are the facts. While it is true that as. yet manY' of our great scientific men have refused to seriously investigate psychic phenomena, it is also true that those who have done so, and they represent hundreds if not thousands, almost invariably finally come to the same or harmonious conclusions. Usually beginning (as was the case with the speaker), with strong tendency if not firm conviction towards rationalism and materialism, but being lovers of fact in preference to theory, they ultimately attain to a knowledge of spiritual life unclouded with the fables or allegories of theology. Seventy years ago the papers and magazines were full of sarcasm and rejection of mesmerism or what is now more generally termed hypnotism; Dr. Baird, then a leading surgeon of England, was refused the privilege of reading a paper upon it, by the British Association; that ·subject was then treated quite similarly as the subject of psychic phenomena has more recently been treated by the press at large; now all science acc'epts the truths regarding hypnotism then rejected, as well demonstrated and unquestioned knowledge. How long will it be before it will be the brand of ignorance for any person claiming scientific education, to question the reality of psychic phenomena? We boldly state that such: time is now close at hand. CHAS. L. HYDE, Sr. October, 1922. Pierre, South Dakota.

Secretary ORIGIN OF THE WORK Considering that more scientific methods should be applied to the study of all types of psychical phenomena, William F. Barrett, professor of physics in the Royal College of Science, Dublin, in 1882 called a conference which resulted in the organization of the Society for Psychical Research in London the same year. Since then that Society has numbered among its Presidents Sir William Crookes, Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir J . J . Thompson, Lord Rayleigh, Prof. W illiam James, Prof. Charles Richet, Prof. 117'
