Huxley, Thomas Henry, 1825-1895

"Collected Essays, Volume V Science and Christian Tradition: Essays"

To
the experienced, trained, and cultivated Spiritualist
this miracle is, as I am prepared to show, one of the
most instructive, the most profoundly useful, and the
most beneficent which Jesus ever wrought in the whole
course of His pilgrimage of redemption on earth." Just
so. And the first page of this same journal presents
the following advertisement, among others of the same
kidney:
"To WEALTHY SPIRITUALISTS--A Lady Medium of tried power
wishes to meet with an elderly gentleman who would be
willing to give her a comfortable home and maintenance
in Exchange for her Spiritualistic services, as her
guides consider her health is too delicate for public
sittings: London preferred.--Address 'Mary,' Office of
_Light_."
Are we going back to the days of the Judges, when
wealthy Micah set up his private ephod, teraphim, and
Levite?
[93] Consider Tertullian's "sister" ("hodie apud nos"),
who conversed with angels, saw and heard mysteries,
knew men's thoughts, and prescribed medicine for their
bodies (_De Anima_, cap. 9). Tertullian tells us that
this woman saw the soul as corporeal, and described its
colour and shape.
