some, and their tactics are much more to be regretted than the defalcations on which they are based. The Rector is really right, and no true friend of our Cause need feel the slightest hurt at such an onslaught. At the same time, "Nettie Richards" has done well to show that Spiritualism is another matter. A HOME FOR MEDIUMS. A" Medium's Home Association" has been formed at Cincinnati, O. The following is the prospectus : "OBJECT :-Our object is to build a home for Mediums, and we earnestly desire and ask the co-operation of all Spiritualists and Mediums in the United States, and elsewhere, in furthering this object, by subscription, donations, or services. "MEMBERSHIP :-Any person can become a member of this Association on the payment of one dollar. "BRICKS :-At the suggestion of Miss M. T. Shelhamer, we have prepared a Brick Card, which will be sent to any one desiring to buy a brick in the Mediums' Home. Ten cents or more will entitle each one to a Card. When different parties send together, state the number of separate cards wanted. "Mr. Geo. Rall, Treasurer of the Mediums' Home Organization, will receive and acknowledge your contribution. Address, No. 482 West Liberty Street, Cincinnati, O." Our experience in regard to mediums has been that they are happiest when kept apart. QUEBEC HALL, 25, GREAT QUEBEC STREET. On Sunday, May 1, at 7 prompt, Mr. Macdonnell will discourse on "Earl Beaconsfield." On Tuesday, May 3, at 8-30, Mr. J. Veitch, a rising young orator, will discourse on 66 The First Crusades."

All who feel an interest in the work here are earnestly invited to be present to hear and express their thoughts. Tea at a nominal charge, at close. Those who assembled on Sunday evening last were certainly delighted and edified by the very excellent address Mr. Macdonnell delivered, taking for his subject Our Christian Mission." He treated it in a most powerful manner, showing that it was a Christian's duty to do what lay in his power to stem the fearful amount of evil caused by war, drunkenness, the opium trade, &c. A friendly discussion followed, which showed very clearly the force of the lecturer's position. J. M. DALE, Hon. Sec. LADBROKE HALL, NEAR NOTTING HILL RAILWAY STATION. Sunday, April 26, 1881, the usual morning meeting well attended. The evening meeting was excellent as far as numbers were concerned; also the lecture which was delivered through the mediumship of Mr. J. J. Morse, giving great satisfaction, as was seen by the expression of the audience in their long and continued applause. F. O. Matthews followed the speaker with clairvoyant tests, all of which, except one, were acknowledged to be correct. Mr. Matthews follows each speaker with clairvoyance on Sunday evenings. On Sunday next, F. O. Matthews will occupy the platform, when matters respecting the future work of the hall will be brought forward. The Ladbroke Hall congregation and their friends are specially invited to be present, also all workers willing to do their part. Misses Keeves and Record are expected to be at Ladbroke Hall this coming month; also W. H. Harrison, Esq., will deliver an address. Mr. J. J. Morse, the last Sunday in each month till further notice.

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS.-The phenomena cannot be successfully elicited very warm, sultry weather, in extreme cold, when thunder and lightning and magnetic disturbances prevail, when the atmosphere is very moist, or when there is much rain, or storms of wind. A warm, dry atmosphere is best, as it presents the mean between all extremes, and agrees with the harmonious state of man's organism which is proper for the manifestation of spiritual phenomena. A subdued light or darkness increases the power and facilitates control. LOCAL CONDITIONS.-The room in which a circle is held for development or Investigation should be set apart for that purpose. It should be comfortably warmed and ventilated, but draughts or currents of air should be avoided. Those persons composing the circle should meet in the room about an hour before the experiments commence; the same sitters should attend each time, and occupy the tame places. This maintains the peculiar magnetic conditions necessary to the production of the phenomena. ▲ developing circle exhausts power, or uses it up. PBYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS.-The phenomena are produced by a vital force emanating from the staters, which the spirits use as a connecting link between then selves and objects. Certain temperaments give off this power; others emit an opposite influence. If the circle is composed of persons with suitable tempera ments, manifestations will take place readily; if the contrary be the case, mush perseverance will be necessary to produce results. If both kinds of temperament are present, they require to be arranged so as to produce harmony in the psychics! atmosphere evolved from them. The physical manifestations especially depend upon temperament. If a circle does not succeed, changes should be made in the sitters till the proper conditions are supplied. MENTAL CONDITIONS.-All forms of mental excitement are detrimental to success. Those with strong and opposite opinions should not sit together: opinionated, dogmatic, and positive people are better out of the circle and room, Parties between whom there are feelings of envy, hate, contempt, or other inharmonious sentiment should not sit at the same circle. The vicious and crude should be excluded from all such experiments. The minds of the sitters should be in a passive rather than an active state, possessed by the love of truth and of mankind. One harmonious and fully-developed individual is invaluable in the formation of a circle. THE CIRCLE should consist of from three to ten persons of both sexes, and sit round an oval, oblong, or square table. Cane-bottomed chairs or those with wooden seats are preferable to stuffed chairs. Mediums and sensatives should never sit on stuffed chairs, cushions, or sofas used by other persons, as the influences which accumulate in the cushions often affect the mediums unpleasantly. The active and quiet, the fair and dark, the ruddy and pale, male and female, should be seated alternately If there is a medium present, he or she should Dccupy the end of the table with the back to the north. A mellow mediumistic person should be placed on each side of the medium, and those n st positive should be at the opposite corners. No person should be placed behind the medium. A circle may represent a horseshoe magnet, with the medium placed between the poles. CONDUCT AT THE CIRCLE.-The sitters should place their hands on the table, and endeavour to make each other feel easy and comfortable. Agreeable conversation, singing, reading, or invocation may be engaged in-anything that will tend to harmonise the minds of those present, and unite them in one purpose, is in order. By engaging in such exercises the circle may be made very profitable apart from the manifestations. Bitters should not desire anything in particular, but unite in being pleased to receive that which is best for all. The director of the circle should sit opposite the medium, and put all questions to the spirit, and keep order. A recorder should take notes of the conditions and proceedings. Manifestations may take place in a few minutes, or the circle may sit many times before any result occurs. Under these circumstances it is well to change the positions of the sitters, or introduce new elements, till success is achieved. When the table begins to tilt, or when raps occur, do not be too impatient to get answers to questions. When the table can answer questions by giving three tips or rape for "Yes," and one for "No," it may assist in placing the sitters properly. The spirits or intelligences which produce the phenomena should be treated with the same courtesy and consideration as you would desire for yourselves if you were introduced into the company of strangers for their personal benefit. At the same time, the sitters should not on any account allow their judgment to be warped or their good sense imposed upon by spirits, whatever their profesions may be. Reason with them kindly, firmly, and considerately. INTERCOURSE WITH SPIRITS is carried on by various means. The simplest is three tips of the table or raps for "Yes," and one for "No." By this means the spirits can answer in the affirmative or negative. By calling over the alphabet tfe spirits will rap at the proper letters to constitute a message. Sometimes the hand of a sitter is shaken, then a pencil should be placed in the hand, when the spits may write by it automatically. Other sitters may become entranced, and the spirits use the vocal organs of such mediums to speak. The spirits som times impress mediums, while others are clairvoyant, and see the spirits, and messages from them written in luminous letters in the atmosphere. Some times the table and other objects are lifted, moved from place to place, and even through closed doors. Patiently and kindly seek for tests of identity from loved ones in the spirit-world, and exercise caution respecting spirits who make extravagant pretensions of any kind. BEFORE proceeding with their investigations, inquirers into Spiritualism. should correspond with Mr. Burns, Proprietor of the Spiritual Institution, 15p Bouthampton Row, London, W.O., who will gladly forward a packet of public tions and useful information gratis. Stamps should in all cases be enclosed for return postage. Deputations of mediums or lecturers may be arranged for t visit any locality where public meetings or seances can be instarted THE LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE ABOLITION OF COMPULSORY VACCINATION, Gray's Inn Chambers, 20, High Holborn, W.C. OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY. 1.--The abolition of Compulsory Vaccination. Il-The Diffusion of Knowledge concerning Vaccination. III.-The maintenance in London of an Office for the publication of Literature relating to Vaccination, and as a Centre of Information. The minimum annual subscription constituting Membership is 2s. 6d. Every opponent of Compulsory Vaccination in the United Kingdom is earnestly invited to join and co-operate with the society. CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE. WILLIAM TEBB, Esq., 7, Albert Road, Regent's Park, N.W. VACCINATION STATISTICS. The following paragraph has been going the round of the press: In a return recently issued by the Metropolitan Asylum's Board, it sppears that from the outbreak of the epidemic in 1876 to the present month, 15,171 cases of smallpox have been treated in the hospitals of the Board, and the whole mortality of the cases being 17.6 per cent.; the rate per cent. of the vaccinated was 8.8, of the unvaccinated no less than 44.4 per cent." The "Echo" asks:-"What will anti-vaccinators say to this?" And Dr. Blyth, Medical Officer of Health for Marylebone, is so impressed with their import that he quotes them in a circular addressed to medical men, as an incentive to urge them to promote re-vaccination. Dr. Garth Wilkinson replies to Dr. Blyth :-"I am opposed to both vaccination and re-vaccination, which are the means of spreading smallpox and many other diseases. "The statistic with which you favour me is not based on sound facts. It is taken from averages based on two incommensurate elements-the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. If only two unvaccinated persons are admitted to hospital, and ONE dies, that is at the rate of 50 per cent. If 100 vaccinated are admitted, and 18 die, that is only 18 per cent.-a lesser AVERAGE mortality! "Such is the way in which your statistic is arrived at. The true way is to examine every case and to ascertain its circumstances and surroundings, and see WHY it was vaccinated. You will then find that the unvaccinated mortality is small, and besides is accounted for by the health and circumstances of the patients." This is sound reasoning, indeed anything more damaging to the cause of vaccination than Dr. Blyth's statistics it would be difficult to imagine; and the man who can find in them any justification for a resort to re-vaccination must be either vaccine-mad, or profoundly ignorant of the subject. In the first place, it is admitted that 15,171 cases of smallpox have been treated in the hospital of the Asylum's Board. Now, as it is well-known that nine-tenths of these were vaccinated persons, that alone proves that vaccination does not PREVENT Smallpox. In the second place, it is admitted that the whole mortality of cases was 17.6 per cent., and as this, according to Jurin, Duvillard, and others, is precisely the average rate of mortality amongst hospital smallpox cases in the last century before vaccination was heard of, we have conclusive evidence that it does not even MITIGATE the disease: yet in spite of these damning and incontrovertible facts we find Officers of Health, Societies for the Promotion of National Health, and Boards of Guardians, placarding the metropolis and desecrating places of worship with invitations to vaccinate and reWM.
