An assistant was placed in the village near him, when the spirit left him again; and ever since he has maintained the character of a consistent Christian. This anecdote illustrates what is called by spiritists 'change of control. After receiving, and deserting, Christian doctrine, the patient again spoke unconsciously, but under the influence of the faith which he had abandoned.
I say we are not obliged that is, we may if we please; but we would not be heretics and commit sin if we did not believe all the revelations and wonderful things we find recorded in the lives of saints, though they may all be true. "Mediums and spiritists" are persons who pretend they can talk with the dead in the other world, and learn where they are and what they are doing.
He wanted to be alone; he became tired of being alone, and returned; he went off again; he came back again, and had the conversation with Eleanore that robbed him of his last hope. Then he went to Munich, and took up with the spiritists. Spiritual and mental ennui left him without a vestige of the power of resistance.
Fowler hastened to weaken the force of this statement. "Spiritists all admit that the forms of spirits are made up partly, at least of the psychic's material self, but that does not prove that the mind of the ghost is not a separate entity from that of the psychic.

Meanwhile Morton, with an armful of the publications of "The Society for Psychical Research" before him, was busied with the arguments of the spiritists and their bearings on Viola Lambert's case. The thing claimed that the dead spoke through her he could not for a moment entertain.

"That is too violent an assumption. We might as well surrender to the spiritists at once.
The attempt to craze me, or putting the best face on it to show me how spiritists are generally crazed, now began in downright earnest. All that night, despite my entreaties to be permitted to sleep, I was kept awake, and busied with a variety of 'extremely important' business.
