PHOF. A. H. WALLACE. LL.D., F.R.S, A I'Hit.OSOI'IliCAt.. )faterialist, belie\'ed only in matter and force at the outset of his inquiries. Afler most careful and painstaking investigation, he was compelled to succumb. ·• The fcuts bmt mr," he says in his ,·aJuable book on "l\Iirac\es and Modern Spiritualism." His brave, outspoken declaration of his knowledge of spirit e:-dstence and communion has made him, by his eminence in other fi elds of Science, a veri table tower of s trength for Spiritualism.- T. rt'., April 3. x8g6.

P l{EFACE.

WITH!~ the last half century the thought of the world has been revolutionised. From Materialistic negations it has turned to Spiritual

affirmations. Instead of deriving life and mind from rr..atter. men now begin to realise that matter is vitalised by Life, and is the vehicle for the manifestation of Spirit. T he reali ty o f the Unseen, and the continuity of conscious individual existence after the death of the body,

are beinf( admitted on a ll hands. For this mighty reformation of the world 's advanced thought we are within our right, and but proclaiming a fact, when we affirm that the

"despised and rejected" "phenomena called Spiritual" are mainly responsible. Nothing else could have t urned the triumphal advance of Materialistic scientific thought and routed the advocates of annihilation. The evidence of the presence of "Intelligences at the other end of the line," afforded by the manifestations through mediums, together with the spontaneous, unexpected, and often undesired, displays of Spirit presence and power which have occurred in all parts of the world, and tlle immense amount of independent testimony to the facts , from trustworthy witnesses, have overpowered the opposition- outweighed all ,; priori objections, and vanquished the :\Iaterialism of both the Scientific and the Theological antagonists. The ::"\ew Spiri tual Dispensation truly "brings Life and Immortality to Light," establishes Faith on the basis of Fact, and gives a rational interpretation of the phenomena of Life and Death.

Like Alfred Russel Wallace, once "a Philosophical :O.Iaterialist ," millions of men and women have bad to confess "THE F ACTS BEAT ~IE!" and the world's Hopes and Ideals, which at one time seemed fading out in the glare of the search-light of Physical Science, are now revealed in fairer and more beautiful proportions, and, by the aid of the Light of Spiritual Science, are found to be based upon the Eternal Law$ of the Infinite. Physicists and philosophic theologians and metaphysicians are seriously turnitlg their attention to, and appreciat ing the value of, the evidences afforded !Jy Spiritual phenomena, are utilising the suggestions they afford in their efforts to unlock the storehouses of mystery. and are entering into possession of the treasures of knowledge of the purposes and issues of Life.

All honour, then, to the mediums and their faithful friends, the brave and true-hearted men and women who formed the Advance Guard of the great Army of Progress. who, through good and evil report alike, devotedly maintained " the Truth against the World," and thus, in co-operation with the promoters of the new Revelat ion from the Other Side, once again broke the bread of Life for man, and brought back the wanderers from the bogs and marshes of Doubt and Materialism into the way of Immortali ty and the light of Love.

While preparing this Album of Mediums and Spiritual Workers-which is but an incomplete Roll-call of the heroes of the fight, and will doubtless be followed by others to supply its imperfections-we have been struck with the evidence of the catholicity of this great movement. The Power of the Spirit has been exemplified th rough all sorts and conditions of men and women. Spiritualism stands for the great principle of Brother-hood, and under its banner of "Immortality proved by facts" are enrolled men, women, and children from all ranks, races, climes and conditions. Royalties or l{epttblicans. courtiers or colliers, creedalists, Conformists or Non-conformists ; Secularists, Agnost ics, t\Iaterialis ts, or Rationalists, it matters not. The Spiri ts have been abroad o'er all the earth, into the high ways and byeways, tomj>tllill~ meu tl ltd U'OIIIt lt to come iu to the marriage feast which celebrates the union of the Two Worlds- the nu ptials of Fact and Faith-of Science and Religion. This great fact constitutes Spiritualtsm the Universal l{eligion. Spirit manifestation has ever been the basis of Truth underlying the world's Theological creeds and systems, and now that tbe superficial rubbish is cleared away and the divid ing lines are destroyed, we again get down to the bed-rock of Spiritual Principles and Demonstrations. The Truth of God-the-Spirit and l\Ian-the-Spirit makes us free- free to unite in love, sympathy, and service to Humanity, to bring peace, joy, and goodwill upon the earth, and thus to find .wd live the better way that opens-through the portals of the Death Change into the Land of Realisation, He-union, Progression. and Beauty over-there.
