But there is nothing that will so pack the biggest hall in the city as the announcement of inspirational preaching by some young woman who speaks at random on a text given her when she steps upon the platform. There is something in her rhapsody, even when it is incoherent, that appeals to a prevailing spirit." "How much of it is curiosity?" Morgan asked.
These speeches are generally given when the medium is seated, but sometimes he loses balance and falls to the floor. Still, as long as the spirit control has anything to say, he will say it through the vocal organs of the medium.

"We will all be ready, and hereafter little Captain, count me out on the program cards. They do better when left to the inspirational, as our own Captain Clark would say."

For hortatory or inspirational purposes we do not need to make this analysis; it has, indeed, its practical dangers.
In that form of Trance or Inspirational Mediumship generally known as "Speaking Mediumship," the communicating spirit assumes partial or complete control of the vocal organs of the medium, and the spirit then directly addresses the circle or audience of listeners, just as he would do were he, himself, actually in the flesh confronting them and using his own vocal organs.
I rummaged the book store until I found a charming little edition of 'Marshall's Geologist's Pocket Companion, covered with beautiful brown limp Russia leather I thought the Russia binding was so inspirational with a sweet little clasp that keeps it closed typical of our hands at parting.
