17050What was the matter?
17050What,cried the Earl,"doth thy great body"( for Sir Richard was taller than anyone in the army)"apprehend anything, that thou art so melancholy?
17050Who are you?
17050Who dares,demands the royal host,"to insult us with this blasphemous mockery?
17050Will all great Neptune''s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand? 17050 And on driving up to the house, Cecil unconcernedly asked his wife,whether she would like to be at home there?"
17050As might be imagined, Justice Duckett was not a little surprised at seeing Howgill, and said to him,"What is your wish now, Francis?
17050But her slumbers were broken, for at every sound she started, mentally exclaiming"Can that be my husband?"
17050But she delayed to come, and so he gently called,''Are you coming?''
17050Can this be he who hither came In secret, like a smothered flame?
17050For what purpose?
17050Has he not house and land, too, and plenty of money to keep her?"
17050How did he take it?
17050Leader of the charging spear, Fiery heart-- and liest thou here?
17050May this narrow spot inurn Aught that so could heat and burn?
17050Some have pretended to say that this is but dew, but can dew redden a cambric handkerchief?
17050Such an interruption the clerk was suddenly?
17050When Howgill had delivered his message, the magistrate seems to have been somewhat disconcerted, and said,"Francis, are you in earnest?"
17050When and where?
17050Who did taste to him?
17050Why not?
17050or art thou weary with marching, that thou dost lean thus upon thy pole- axe?"
16975Ask if it can hear us doctor?
16975Can you, whatever you are, hear what we say?

16975If you can see and hear, tell us how many persons are in this room?
16975Jane, this is September the fourth, ai nt it?
16975What in the name of the sun ails you to- day, Esther?
16975Why what in the name of thunder ails you Esther?
16975After looking at Esther and Olive a moment, she said,"What were you two putting your heads together about when I came in?
16975All ate in silence for some minutes, when Jane inquires if the cow was milked again last night?
16975Are you sure nothing can be done to relieve her?"
16975But the writing on the wall-- what did it mean, and how came it there?
16975But why speculate on so great a mystery?
16975Do n''t you all see him?
16975Do you think there is any truth in dreams?
16975Has the house burned to the ground or has the girl burst all to pieces?"
16975He looked at Dan a moment in amazement, and then exclaimed in an inquiring tone:"What''s the matter, Teed?
16975Now come, tell me all about it; is it a great secret?
16975Oh, what will become of me?"
16975Q.--"Are you in heaven?"

16975Q.--"Have you seen God?"
16975Q.--"Have you seen the devil?"

16975What do you think about it Olive?
16975What was to be done?

16975What was to be done?
16975Why, Jane, what has brought you home at this time of day?
16975are you going without eating some of the bread pudding I went to the trouble of making because I thought you would like it?"
16975exclaimed Olive,"the house has been struck by lightning and I know my poor boys are killed?"
16975half- past two already?
16975what shall we do,"cried Esther,"what shall we do?"
35537How was this done? 35537 Am I right?
35537By mesmerism?
35537By sharpness of sight, trickery, sleight of hand?
35537DO THE DEAD RETURN?
35537Hypnotism?
35537Mind- reading?
35537Suddenly the old man opened his eyes and said:"Gentlemen, are you satisfied that I do not know any of the names on those papers?"
35537The Doctor, as each paper was drawn out, asked some question, such as''Guide, is this the one dead?''
35537Which one of the pellets bears her name?"
35537_ Price, 50 cents_ Do the Dead Return?
35748For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
35748But it may be asked, how can the brain enlarge or decrease by the action of the mind?
35748Can an invisible, immaterial principle enlarge or lessen the organ through which it operates?
35748Why then single out Phrenology for disbelief, because it is new, is gold the less gold because fresh from the mine?
35748or truth less true because recently revealed?
35748or, Is the brain the organ through which the mind acts?
1271( 1)( 1) MICHAEL SENDIVOGIUS(? 1271 But how was this possible if it were not, as I have suggested, the repayment, in a sense, of a sort of philological debt? 1271 Hereat the host began immediately to laugh, inquiring of him,''What made him refuse it now, when he had eaten one at his table about four years ago?'' 1271 How else could he account for its origin, if knowledge must proceed from the known to the unknown? 1271 How far, if at all, was the magician rewarded by the attainment of his desires? 1271 In view of these quotations, the alliance( shall I say?) 1271 In what respects, it may be asked in conclusion, is the philosophy of the Cambridge Platonists open to criticism? 1271 Indeed, as I queried on a former occasion, what other source of explanation was open to him? 1271 Now what did the men of the Middle Ages regard as falling into the category of the known? 1271 Now, what was the reason for the belief in these three colour- stages, and for their occurrence in the above order? 1271 Of what other form of origin was he aware? 1271 One of the most curious of these old medical( or perhaps I should say surgical) superstitions was that relating to the Powder of Sympathy, a remedy(?) 1271 Science does not pretend to reveal the fundamental or underlying cause of phenomena, does not pretend to answer the final Why? 1271 The question naturally arises, What were the results obtained by these magical arts? 1271 Was it because its fundamental theorems were erroneous? 1271 What exactly was the system of beliefs grouped under the termalchemy,"and what was its aim?
1271What is thy tent?
1271What then is magic?
1271What was their precise influence upon human thought and culture?
1271What wonder that he read mystic meanings into the laws of Arithmetic, and believed Number to be the explanation and origin of all that is?
1271What wonder then that Pythagoras concluded that the solution of the mighty riddle of the Universe was contained in the mysteries of Geometry?
1271Where maist thou dwell?
1271Why did alchemy fail?
1271Why does force produce or result in motion?
1271Why should any one over- do in this kind?
1271Why were the beliefs held?

10740What spirit does he manifest?
10740Who, then, in the midst of the ceaseless pandemonium of schools and creeds and parties, has the Truth?

36587I asked her, if she heard a sound when she clapped her hand upon her knee?
36587Mr. Veal says, he asked his sister on her death- bed, whether she had a mind to dispose of anything?
36587Says Mrs. Bargrave, How came you to order matters so strangely?
36587She would often draw her hand across her own eyes, and say, Mrs. Bargrave, do not you think I am mightily impaired by my fits?
36587There was an hearty friendship among them; but where is it now to be found?
36587What did you think of me?
26317All correct?
26317And do n''t you suffer with your limbs?
26317Are they not our brethren, the neighbors to whom the command applies,"Love thy neighbor as thyself"?
26317But do our statesmen or our clergy suggest this view?
26317Do they not all maintain the Christian religion( at least nominally) by all the power of their governments and public opinion?
26317Do they recoil from war or inspire the people with thoughts of peace?
26317Has the old spirit died out?
26317Have the syndicates too much influence?
26317Is Christendom the only dangerous portion of the world, where an honorable and peaceful nation can not exist in safety?
26317Is Col. Ingersoll too much of a pessimist to believe that American moral power will be sufficient in time to calm the world''s agitation?
26317Is all the civilization, statesmanship, and Christianity of the leading nations of the earth incapable of withholding them from such gigantic crimes?
26317Is all the genius and energy of the American people bound in fidelity to the Moloch of war?
26317Is it possible now?
26317Is it true?"

17113A Ghost?
17113And what kind of ghost is it?
17113Do you want me to believe that there were only two persons when the plate was exposed and three when it was developed?
17113Has anybody ever followed her?
17113Has anybody ever passed a night in the room to see what really happens?
17113How did you manage to get the show- case in your drawing- room?
17113How should we ascertain?
17113I got the picture all right,said Jones, unwrapping an unmounted picture and handing it over to me"most funny, do n''t you think so?"
17113Not very,said the doctor"but what do you want him to do?"
17113Ohshouted Jagat"who is that?"
17113Speak, Captain X,--are you dumb?
17113Then it must be the most wonderful developer you used, or was it that this was the second exposure given to the same plate?
17113What does she do?
17113What is the matter with you?
17113What kind of thing is a family ghost?
17113What shall I have to do?
17113What will you like to have?
17113Who has put out the lights?

17113How did the bullets come back?
17113Photographer,"I asked"what success?"
17113Should they inform the Lord Chamberlain of the palace?

33076( III) A question mark(?)
33076Are they up to the average of those engaged in similar work?
33076Are you yourself"making good"in this respect?
33076But what about its mental attitude?
33076Does he approach his"prospect"with the confident enthusiasm that brings orders?
33076Does the shipping clerk take a delighted interest in getting out his deliveries?
33076Have you been harboring the delusion that"quick as thought"is a phrase expressive of flash- like quickness?
33076Have you had the idea that thought is instantaneous?
33076Have you trained it wisely?
33076How fast do your thoughts come, compared to the average man in your field of activity?
33076How fast does your stenographer think?
33076How rapidly does your mind work?
33076If you were about to purchase a new tire for your automobile or a few pairs of stockings, what brand would you buy, and why?
33076Is the salesman proud of his line and his house?
33076What, then, is the process that unifies these isolated sense- perceptions and gives us our knowledge of things as concrete wholes?
33076When you think of a camera or a cake of soap, what particular make comes first to your mind?
33076When you think of a home, what is the mental picture that rises before you, and why?
33076Your chauffeur?
33076Your clerk?
33076[ Sidenote:_ Brands and Tags_] If you wanted to buy a house, what local subdivision would come first to your mind, and why?
33076[ Sidenote:_ Executives Real and Sham_] Does the truckman whistle at his work?
33076[ Sidenote:_ The Value of an Idea_] As Mr. Waldo P. Warren says,"Who can measure the value of an idea?
10088If then,returned the lady,"I give thee more money, how will it be applied?"
10088What, thou art an astrologer?
10088[ 111] Are not the_ gifts of imagination_ mistaken here for the strength of passions? 10088 And why does the evil tempting spirit so often prevail? 10088 HAD DEMONS ANY SHARE IN THE ORACLES? 10088 Had demons any share in the oracles? 10088 Had not Aaron, the high priest of the Hebrews, a ring on his finger, whereof the diamond, by its virtues, operated prodigious things? 10088 Has the use of the mountain ash,''rowan tree''[ Pyrus aucuparia,_ Gaertner_,] as a charm against witchcraft, ever been accounted for? 10088 How I dreamt Of things impossible( could sleep do more?) 10088 If things must necessarily come to pass, why dost thou amuse us with thy ambiguities? 10088 It may be asked how far they are practicably admissible, and in what cases they are wholly unavailing? 10088 May not the sincere believer in the divine authority of the scriptures reasonably hesitate concerning this conclusion? 10088 Or rather, does not such an interpretation justly expose revelation to reproach? 10088 Shall I ask him whether it be better to lose life than liberty? 10088 Shall we say that Xenophon does not speak truth, or is too extravagant? 10088 The touch of a torpedo numbness? 10088 What is more natural than to place confidence in a remedy, which has been known to afford relief to others in the same kind of disposition? 10088 What then are the marks of certain incantations? 10088 Whether life be a real good? 10088 Who can apprehend by what impenetrable method the bite of a mad dog, or tarantula, can produce these symptoms? 10088 Why did not the Persians make use of it when Lucullus cut their troops to pieces? 10088 is it possible to escape our destiny? 10088 so great a personage, and so divine a spirit as Aristotle, can he be deceived? 10088 to what purpose should that be? 10088 who knows not that if there be a sea- fight, it must either be in seed- time or harvest? 10088 why, why seek to know the course of futurity? 14209 But what kind of Life and Mind do you mean?"
14209Then,you ask,"do you mean to tell us that THE ALL is LIFE and MIND?"
14209And if this be true in the case of our finite minds, what must be the degree of Reality in the Mental Images created in the Mind of the Infinite?
14209And where the Great Hermes hesitated to speak, what mortal may dare to teach?
14209Are not the majority of persons mere shadows and echoes of others having stronger wills or minds than themselves?

14209But, what indeed is the Universe, if it be not THE ALL, not yet created by THE ALL having separated itself into fragments?
14209Can there be any greater mystery than this of"All in THE ALL; and THE ALL in All?"
14209Can you not see that the phenomena is"on all fours"with that of the corpuscles or electrons?
14209How could there be a something acting in the phenomenal universe, independent of the laws, order, and continuity of the latter?
14209How few original thoughts or original actions are performed by the average person?
14209How may Light be described to a man born blind-- how sugar, to a man who has never tasted anything sweet-- how harmony, to one born deaf?
14209Is THE ALL merely Matter?
14209Is there no third way in which MAN creates?
14209Is there no"because"to their"pleasing"and"Wanting"?
14209Is this not so?
14209On his own plane of being, how does Man create?
14209Passing on from the Great Mental Plane to the Great Spiritual Plane, what shall we say?
14209Some have imagined that THE ALL had something to gain by it, but this is absurd, for what could THE ALL gain that it did not already possess?
14209Somewhat paradoxical, is it not?
14209The question is generally about as follows:"Is a Plane a place having dimensions, or is it merely a condition or state?"
14209Then if the Universe is neither THE ALL, nor Nothing, what Can it be?
14209Then is THE ALL mere Energy or Force?
14209Then is the Universe THE ALL?
14209What else can it be-- of what else can it be made?
14209What is the Universe?
14209What is the difference between"Large and Small"?
14209What is there then higher than Matter or Energy that we know to be existent in the Universe?
14209What makes them"want to"do one thing in preference to another; what makes them"please"to do this, and not do that?
14209What may be said of such Beings?
14209Where does"darkness"leave off, and"light"begin?
11906And is not their knowledge of the things carried past them equally limited?
11906But what if your clock is running down or speeding up?
11906He thought:''Shall I send forth worlds?'' 11906 Oh, thou that sleepest, what is sleep?"
11906What is it that is much desired by man, but which they know not while possessing?
11906Why raise( he says)"these puzzling and merely academic questions?
11906And to the questions,"How, and from whence?"
11906Are such strange hauntings of our House of Life due to the cyclic return of time?
11906But do we really forget?
11906But how are we to determine our equal times?
11906But is it established?
11906Deep sleep dreams are in the true sense clairvoyant, though for the most part irrecoverable--"Canst thou draw out Leviathan with an hook?"
11906For what is karma but the return of time, the flowering in the present of some seed sown elsewhere and long ago?
11906How long would the double journey have taken_ if the river current had been faster than our rowing speed_?
11906How shall we schedule our trip if we can not learn the correct speed,_ or if it varies from minute to minute_?
11906If space is curved, how are we going to measure its curvature?
11906If such is indeed the case, if the will is extraneous, how does it possess itself of the nerves and muscles of the hand of the writer?
11906Is n''t the straightness of the knife a mere poverty of human imagination?
11906Might it not be perceived as a representation, merely, of a supernal world, higher- dimensional in relation to our own?
11906Perhaps,--but what is time?
11906Suppose some one should ask you,"What is an hour?"
11906To the question,"What worlds?"
11906We are_ embedded_ in our own space, and if that space be embedded in higher space, how are we going to discover it?
11906Were reason equal to the strain put upon it under these circumstances, in what light might the phantasmagoria of human life appear?
11906What circumstances, we may ask, have compelled our intellect to conceive of_ solid_ space?
11906What have they to do, it may be asked, with the idea of_ higher_ spaces?
11906What is the reason for these differences of power and function?
11906What is this but the self- forgiveness of sins?
11906What results from conceptions of this order?
11906Where is consciousness during these intervals, long or short, when the senses fail to respond to the stimuli of the external world?
11906Why attempt to turn the universe completely upside down?"
11906Why do they vanish?
11906Why should death bedreaded any more than bedtime?
11906Why, then, does a flying man so little amaze us?
26339230,replies the person addressed,"Is n''t that correct?"
26339Is n''t that rather a low calling?
26339What was your father''s calling?
26339You are in the negro minstrel business, I believe?
26339*** Mistress: Did the fisherman who stopped here this morning have frog legs?
26339Are we not at the perpetual mercy of evil men and powers, which blind fair reason?
26339Are we not dazzled by pomp and show?
26339Are we, then, arbiters of our own fate?
26339Are we, then, so soulless in our innocent pleasures?
26339But, which one of you ladies turned the cup?
26339Deception-- intrigue-- house of sickness-- see the crosses and losses?
26339Did we not all cry out,"Oh, what a wonderful cup-- a king, a king with a crown?"
26339Do you grasp some of the leading ideas?
26339Do you know what is your birth stone?
26339Do you see his hat?
26339Do you see the broad sky- scenes?
26339Do you see the standing well- poised form of a woman?
26339Do you see the_ jeweled ring_ with the light flashing for you?
26339Do you want that mysterious thing that is called"good luck?"
26339Done that?

26339How is it to be read?
26339How then can we be held in blame for the committal of even some desperate acts?
26339How will you comfort her when sorrows come to you?
26339I wonder if you can do it?"
26339In what month were you born?
26339Listen, friends, are there not better objects everywhere?
26339Madam, how is one to overcome nature?
26339Now, as this is all free play, will you please tell me if this leading figure defines any of your conditions truthfully, as to politics?
26339Now, see you the large moon- faced man from over the deep water?
26339Now, what figure have you got?"
26339See the head?
26339See the little_ dog_, how angry, and the_ cat_, with her back up, and the other animal with a spring?
26339See the young girl-- no doubt your daughter-- under the beautiful fruit trees?
26339See you the ocean?
26339See you the separate roads, with the harsh wind blowing the leafless branches of the trees?
26339See you the_ shaft_, draped like a funeral pall across the cup?
26339See you these faces?
26339The mules and the whole team?
10361And if this beginning is now with us, by what reason can we limit it?
10361But how about those who have passed over without that recognition?
10361But how are we to do this?
10361But the question is, What is going to become of ourselves?
10361CHAPTER III THE DIVINE IDEAL What is the Divine Ideal?
10361Do you expect God to put cash into your desk by a conjuring trick?
10361Four kingdoms we know: what is to be the Fifth?
10361Have I got this as an ever present Law of Tendency at the back of my thought?
10361How can the force which pulls a thing down be an integral part of the force which builds it up?
10361How do we know that it is the will of God?
10361How do we know this?
10361If so, then how is it that we all project identically similar images?
10361Is the material movement evolved at this stage bound to take any particular form?
10361Now ask yourself in what way individual selection and initiative would be likely to act as expressing the Originating Spirit itself?
10361Now what must this passing out of the body mean to us?
10361One is the question, How can moral guilt be transferred from one person to another?
10361So, then, the question arises, What lines will this further development be likely to follow?
10361The Law is that we can not transcend the Normal; therefore comes the question, What is the Normal?
10361The bruised shins of our childhood convince us of its solidity, so now comes the question, Why does Matter exist?
10361Then comes the question, How did the Universal Substance get there?
10361Then comes the question, Is there no way of getting out of this law?
10361Then the question arises, if these principles are true, why are we not demonstrating them?
10361Then the question is, How are we to do this?
10361Then there is the objection, How can past sins be done away with?
10361Then why not impress upon it the suggestion that in passing over to the other side it has brought its objective mentality along with it?
10361Therefore we arrive at the question, What is the Divine Ideal like?
10361What is this something?
10361When you were fourteen did you know where all the means were coming from which were going to support you till now when you are perhaps forty or fifty?
10361Where, then, does limitation come from?
10361Why not?
10361Why, then, should not regeneration be accomplished here and now?

16266And in vertical unequal division, what principle governs?
16266But is it not also characteristic of the''active''pictures, since, as we see, it has the largest representation in that class too?
16266But what is this mechanical balance?
16266But what is''the expenditure of attention''in physiological terms?
16266But why does he put the open tunnel so far out?
16266But would the distance be in the same proportion for a given distance of the fixed line of say 20 or 25 cm.?
16266By his extremely emphasized central line, and his explicit question to the subjects,''Does this balance?''
16266Do animals which learn slowly retain associations longer?
16266Does it make it impossible to establish the coördination, or destroy it if already established?
16266How shall we assume that the automatic movement cycle necessary to rhythmic perception is set up when one listens to a series of sounds?
16266If not, on what grounds should it be discarded?
16266If size gives''weight,''why does it not always do so?
16266If, then, the pyramid belongs to contemplation, the diagonal to action, what can be said of the type of landscape?
16266In order to answer this question we must ask first, What are the different kinds of pictures?
16266Is the application of phenomenalistic psychology or the application of teleological voluntarism in question?
16266Is this true, or do we find that there are well- marked types, between which reactions are comparatively rare?
16266Must we consider the pyramid the expression of passivity, the diagonal or V, of activity?
16266Must we invoke a new principle for horizontal unequal division, or is it but a subtly disguised variation of the more familiar symmetry?
16266My problem is, What are the time relations of all these reactions?
16266Number 4 8.2"50.4"Female?
16266Should it have been used in the determination of the mean?
16266The question arises, is this scream indicative of pain?
16266The question is, how much deviation from the mode should be allowed?
16266The question which this section will attempt to answer is this: Is there in primitive art an original and immediate æsthetic feeling for symmetry?
16266The subject was never asked, Does this balance?
16266This question depends on two others which must precede it: To what extent does symmetry actually appear in primitive art?
16266What happens when a sound occurs out of place, early in the phase of relaxation, or just before or just after the climax in the contraction phase?
16266and, How far must its presence be accounted for by other than æsthetic demands?

26978I know this is a_ Noli Me tangere_, but what shall we do? 26978 ''_ The God of Peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly._''Shortly, didst thou say, dearest Lord? 26978 --_Massachusetts Historical Collections, I., v., 75._ The questions arise; When and why did he leave the Court? 26978 And here, what shall I say? 26978 But how with Cotton Mather''s Book, the_ Wonders of the Invisible World_? 26978 Her answer was,How do I know?
26978I ask every person of candor and fairness, to consider whether it is just to treat authors in this way?
26978If Mr. Mather is not alluded to in the following passage from Brattle''s letter, who is?
26978If he was not present at his Examination before the Magistrates, how could he have spoken, as he did, of the righteousness of his sentence?
26978It may be asked, what did he mean by"not laying more stress upon spectre testimony than it will bear,"and the general strain of the paragraph?
26978Looking towards"the afflicted children,"who had sworn that her spectre tortured them, the Magistrate asked,"How comes your appearance to hurt these?"
26978Lord what wilt thou do with me?"
26978Mr. Hale limits the definition of a witch to the following:"Who is to be esteemed a capital witch among Christians?
26978Now what are the facts?
26978The Reviewer asks:"Were those five persons executed that day without any spiritual adviser?"
26978The question is, Which of them is meant?
26978The question is: Does it forbid, denounce, or dissuade, its introduction?
26978The question now arises, what was Cotton Mather''s attitude towards them?
26978To the question,"Who hurts you?"
26978Was he present at any of the Examinations?
26978What are the facts?
26978What if the Courts do admit the testimony of the Devil in the appearance of a spectre, and, on its strength, consign to death the innocent?
26978What right had Mather to insert this paragraph, at all, in his report of the_ trial_ of George Burroughs?
26978What was the difficulty?
26978Whence had they this supernatural sight?
26978Where did he, our Reviewer, find authority for the positive statement that Winthrop"signed the Death- warrant?"
26978Who can tell how far the good Angels of Heaven cooperate in those proceeding?"
26978Why did he not, as the Reviewer says ought always have been done, protest utterly against its admission at all?
26978Why did they have to"entreat"him, if he had come all the way from Boston for that purpose?
26978Why did they not join their voices in this prayer, going up elsewhere, from all concerned, for the divine forgiveness?
43548But if the question is: Shall I be successful in my lawsuit?
43548Let it be supposed that the question is: Will a lawsuit be necessary?
12480Speaking of atmospheres, do you notice that each shop we pass has its own peculiar thought- atmosphere? 12480 What is induction?"
12480''Ah, God be thanked,''exclaimed Roucher,''and what of I?''
12480''But what, then, are you really telling us of Monsieur Cazotte?
12480''How do you know?''
12480''Where?
12480''Yes,''replied Chamfort,''but when will all this happen?''
12480Again, is it not wonderful that our memories preserve the images of the sounds and forms which were placed there perhaps fifty years and more ago?
12480Can you Psychometrize?
12480Cazotte replied:''You?
12480Do you get this clearly?
12480Do you not realize that you are attempting to place a limit upon Nature, which in reality is illimitable?
12480Does death end all: or is it merely"the gate of life"?
12480How do these memory images survive and exist?
12480How is it possible to"see"a thing that no longer exists?
12480If not, why not learn?
12480If there be a next world, can we communicate with those that are in it?
12480In that time she heard the bridge clock strike two, and a while after said:''In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, what art thou?''
12480Is it any wonder that cures take place under these circumstances?
12480Is it the weight of force of will which insensibly influences us; the force of will behind the advice?
12480It seems strange to hear of this kind of visioning as purely natural, does n''t it?
12480Surely such a wonderful law is well worth study, attention, investigation, and mastery, is n''t it?
12480This being so, why your insistence upon the''close relation in space''just mentioned?--what is the reason for this nearness?"
12480Verner, F.A.I.P Founder and Principal of the British Psychological Institute"If a man die, shall he live again?"
12480What do you know about the limits of natural law and phenomena?
12480What is Psychometry?
12480What is a"sense,"when you get right down to it?
12480What is it that makes us accept, and adopt too, the advice of one person, while precisely the same advice from another has been rejected?
12480What is the matter?''
12480What right have you to assert that all beyond your customary range of sense experience is outside of Nature?
12480What would you think if you could"see through a brick wall?"
12480Yet what is this will- power that influences others?
12480You are able to see through solid glass, with the physical eye, are you not?

12480you heard it?
14099''Did you never hear of him?'' 14099 ''What man?''
14099So long as we leave the doors unclosed they do n''t harm us: why should we be afraid of them?
14099We laughed at this and asked:''Who will be appointed to the dispensary?''
14099What exactly does it mean?
14099What was about to happen? 14099 What was it?"
14099What?
14099Where?
14099''Is that a boat turned over?''
14099''Why?''
14099----?''
14099A few days later Miss B. said to E. C.:"I hear such strange noises every night-- are there any people in the adjoining part of the building?"
14099All I could do was to speak; I cried out,"Who are you?
14099And if so, what meaning would he put upon the word"spirits"?
14099B. been down at our house that afternoon, and I casually asked her:"''Who was the man who was just behind me when I met you on Dick''s Brae?''
14099B., why have you come?"
14099Can we contemptuously fling aside such a weight of evidence as unworthy of even a cursory examination?
14099Coming back she met the boy pale and trembling, and on asking him why he left the room, he replied,"Who is that woman-- who is that woman?"
14099Did he never hear of such- and- such a haunted house, or place?"
14099For myself I can not guarantee the genuineness of a single incident in this book-- how could I, as none of them are my own personal experience?
14099He does not therefore condemn these offhand; he is content to suspend judgment, is he not?
14099However, we are not concerned with explanations( for who, as yet, can explain the supernatural?
14099I called out in amazement,''What has happened to the chair?''
14099I said,''Who are you?''
14099I started up, and said,''Is there anything wrong?''

14099Naturally I said,''What accident, Mary?''
14099Once again he appeared, and seemed to say to me,''Why did you do that, E----?
14099She left the bedroom, and called to her daughter, who was in a lower room,"What do you want?"
14099The question is, Why do they occur at all?
14099The servants asked,"Corney, why did you not speak?"
14099The two boys were moved to the haunted room[ which one?
14099We asked, thinking that the answer was absurd, as we knew him to be alive and well:"''Are you dead?''
14099We said:"''Who are you?''
14099What do you want?"
14099Where was I to get them from?
14099Why can not he adopt the same attitude with respect to psychic phenomena?
14099was he suffering from delusions?
42889Are people with this blemish morally, mentally, or physically deficient?
42889Besides, as the results produced by their methods were astoundingly correct, why should we imagine ourselves capable of bettering their theories?
42889Does it not, by laying bare the vices and weaknesses of human nature, induce a cynical opinion of human nature?
42889Now, if this were so at one moment, why should it not be so always?

40744I quote a passage that seems of significance:"Do we not lay a special linking science everywhere else between the theory and practical work?

21646Does the mouth indicate as much character as the nose?

21646How do you tell that? 21646 If Anschlag''s head was as deficient in all points as he is in the region behind the ears, what would be the result?"

21646But on what particular point do you find me a fool to- night?"

21646Did you ever think about that?

2529An egg for breakfast: well, what of it?
2529( 2) DOES EVERYTHING OBSERVABLE OBEY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS?
2529( 2) What are we feeling when we say this?
2529( 2) What is the relation of this present occurrence to the past event which is remembered?
2529( 3) CAN WE OBSERVE ANYTHING INTRINSICALLY DIFFERENT FROM SENSATIONS?
2529And even if SOME image does persist, how do we know that it is the previous image unchanged?
2529And what sort of evidence is logically possible?
2529Buhler says( p. 303):"We ask ourselves the general question:''WHAT DO WE EXPERIENCE WHEN WE THINK?''
2529But why should we suppose that there is some one common cause of all these appearances?
2529Can we constitute memory out of images together with suitable beliefs?
2529Can we say, conversely, that it consists wholly of such accuracy of response?
2529Does the image persist in presence of the sensation, so that we can compare the two?
2529For what is it to imagine a winged horse but to affirm that the horse[ that horse, namely] has wings?
2529How do I know that there is awareness?
2529How do we know that the sensation resembles the previous image?
2529How is it possible to know that a memory- image is an imperfect copy, without having a more accurate copy by which to replace it?
2529How, then, are we to find any way of comparing the present image and the past sensation?
2529If we are asked"What is the capital of France?"
2529If we suppose it effected, what would become of the difference between vital and mechanical movements?
2529If you ask a boy"What is twice two?"
2529Is there ultimately no difference, or do images remain as irreducibly and exclusively psychological?
2529Is"consciousness"ultimate and simple, something to be merely accepted and contemplated?
2529It is clear that the question turns upon another, namely, which can we know best, the psychology of animals or that of human beings?
2529It may be said: If there is no single existent which is the source of all these"aspects,"how are they collected together?
2529Now, what are the occasions when, we actively believe that Charles I was executed?
2529One of the laws which distinguish psychology( or nerve- physiology?)
2529Or that insects, in laying eggs, are concerned for the preservation of their species?
2529Or, to state the same question in other terms: How is psychology to be distinguished from physics?
2529Our two questions are, in the case of memory:( 1) What is the present occurrence when we remember?
2529Suppose two children in a school, both of whom are asked"What is six times nine?"
2529There are two distinct questions to be asked:( 1) What causes us to say that a thing occurs?
2529What sort of evidence is there?
2529Who can believe, for example, that a new- born baby is aware of the necessity of food for preserving life?
2529William James''s view was first set forth in an essay called"Does''consciousness''exist?
43954''But what, then, are you really telling us of, Monsieur Cazotte?
43954''How did you know?''
43954''Yes,''replied Chamfort,''but when will all this happen?''
43954Do you see what we mean?
43954God be thanked,''exclaimed Roucher,''and what of I?''
43954There are no vibrations emanating from past scenes, and as they no longer exist, how can anyone see them, by Astral Vision, or by any other means?"
43954the princesses of the blood?''
43954who then will be the happy mortal to whom this prerogative will be given?''
17815Again, how are we to shape to ourselves real objective existence?
17815And here at once there forces itself on our attention the question, What exactly is to be understood by the term"illusion"?
17815And here there naturally arises the question, How shall we define an illusion of perception?
17815But how is it, it may be asked, that this feeling shows itself instinctively as soon as the idea of self begins to arise in consciousness?
17815But if the sensation is properly attended to, can there be error through a misapprehension of what is actually in the mind at the moment?
17815Can you tell me how to express this in mathematical symbols?
17815Does this way of putting the subject seem alarming?
17815He will be inclined to say,"What does it matter whether you call such an apparently permanent belief the correlative of a reality or an illusion?
17815How are we to account for this?
17815How are we to regard this discrepancy?
17815How can we account for this?
17815How, then, it may be asked, can we ever be certain that we are faithfully recalling the actual events of the past?
17815I put together the riddle,"What might a wooden ship say when her side was stove in?
17815I was annoyed at the interruption, but said, with a feeling of triumph,"I suppose you mean Wieland?"
17815In other words, the habitual indulgence of a certain anticipation tends to an illusory view, not only of the"when?"
17815Is it a mere efflux from sensation, a passive conformity of representation to sensation( sensualism or empiricism)?
17815Is it an appalling thought that our normal mental life is thus intimately related to insanity, and graduates away into it by such fine transitions?
17815Is it something wholly independent of the mind( realism)?
17815Is our life a dream?
17815Is perception, as popularly understood, after all, a big hallucination?
17815Is the mode of demonstration of such a kind as to be likely ever to materially weaken the common- sense''intuition''?"
17815Is this valid or illusory?
17815Just as a child''s importunate"Why?"
17815Must we say that in the latter case there are two sensations, only that, being so similar, they are confused one with another?
17815Now, it may be asked, why should we tend to transform the concave into the convex, rather than the convex into the concave?
17815Now, whence comes this large and approximately uniform discrepancy between our self- esteem and others''esteem of us?
17815On purely scientific ground we can not answer the question,"How far does illusion extend?"
17815Or is it, on the contrary, something involving mind( idealism)?
17815To- day, as in the days of Plato and Aristotle, are argued, in slightly altered forms, the vexed questions, What is true cognition?
17815What is the reason of this?
17815What will follow from this?
17815Who has not felt an unpleasant disenchantment on revisiting some church, house, or park that seemed a wondrous paradise to his young eyes?
17815Why is this?
17815_ Illusions of Introspection defined._ This inquiry naturally sets out with the question: What is meant by introspection?
17815_ Simple Illusory Belief_:--( 1) Expectation: its nature, 297, 298; Is Expectation ever intuitive?
17815_ Sleep and Dreaming_:--Condition of organism during sleep, 131, 132; Are the nervous centres ever wholly inactive during sleep?
17815but also of the"how?"
17815or is it, on the other hand, a construction of active thought, involving certain necessary forms of intelligence( rationalism or intuitivism)?

28699Keeping these facts before us, what do we find?
28699Ma, why did you not show me my letters and things before?"
28699No doubt they would like to inspect the church, perhaps to visit the school; it might even be they were desirous of meeting the pastor?

28699With a smile of delight Lurancy picked up the hat, mentioned an incident connected with it, and asked,"Have you my box of letters also?"

34475''Do you remember you materialized a rose for me last week?''
34475Are these my father, my mother, my wife, my brother?
34475As my friend had gone up to the cabinet with me, I was greatly disappointed in the way she came, and said,"Bertha, why do you come in this dress?"
34475As the circle is rarely composed of more than twenty- five persons, would it pay to keep so many actors for so small an audience?

34475CHAPTER X. MATERIALIZED FORMS-- HOW SHALL WE MEET THEM?
34475Can it be, said I to myself, that this beautiful girl, so charming and graceful, so full of life and intelligence, is truly a spirit?
34475I know how two got in, but where did the other two come from?
34475I said,"For what?"
34475I said,"I do not remember you; did I ever see you before?"
34475I said,"What is it, Auntie?"
34475If not beings from another life, what are they?
34475Is courage, then, so rare a thing that we are forced to applaud it even in the bulldog?
34475Is this the rollicking boy who made the hills echo with his laughter, now whispering in my ear so low that I can scarcely hear him?"
34475It was the form of"Auntie,"the control, who greeted me with"How do you do?
34475PERSONIFICATION BY THE MEDIUM, OR MATERIALIZED FORMS?

34475She said to me,''Do n''t you think I am very strong to- day?''
34475SÉANCE AT THE BERRY SISTERS''IN BOSTON 99 X. MATERIALIZED FORMS-- HOW SHALL WE MEET THEM?
34475Was I deceived,--laboring under a state of hallucination?
34475Was it mind- reading?
34475Was it not a disgrace to science that this had been allowed to go on so long without any honest attempt to investigate it?
34475Was it possible that I had stood face to face and been in communication with one from another life?
34475Was the close resemblance due to the fact that Mrs. Fay was sitting by my side?
34475Was this another phase of them?
34475What do you think of this?"
34475What need of words when thoughts are told In light that gleams like burnished gold, With pulse that throbs to mine?
34475What would you not do to reach those dear to your heart?
34475What, then, was to be done?
34475Who shall say the gates are not ajar, and that our loved but not lost ones are not passing to and fro?
44016Will the electors of Great Britain, rich and poor, try to digest that fact and grasp its implications? 44016 And do n''t you see that thegerm doctors"have not fooled nature?
44016But what difference does a name make?
44016Ca n''t you see that the product is 22 in either case?

4507Shall man''s basest desires receive the fullest measure of gratification, and his purest aspirations starve for lack of sustenance?
43755You can swim, Sam?
43755A person may wear pantaloons and coat of the finest broadcloth, but if they are baggy and slouchy, will he be considered well dressed?
43755Are you ambitious?
43755Do you aspire to better things?
43755Do you care to be considered an intelligent, interesting capable person?
43755Has your school education been neglected?
43755Have they not some reason for being so?
43755How can a person of scanty information-- ignorant of the world and its doings, carry a proud bearing with a high and noble spirit?
43755If you consider yourself a nobody, do you care to be somebody?
43755Is it not self- esteem; self- appreciation and valuation; self- respect and reliance; nobleness, independence and dignity?
43755Is it to be wondered at that such a person acts and feels cheap and diminutive?
43755What is pride?

43755_ Why_ should you be timid and backward, and show by your hesitating ways that you do not feel at ease?
15489And you do not wish her to conceive a child?
15489But what occurrence has given rise to this dream?
15489Do you happen to know upon what charge you were arrested?
15489How did the salmon mentioned in the dream occur to you?
15489Infanticide? 15489 The woman is married?"
15489Then you do not practice normal coitus?
15489[ 4]And under what circumstances did you dream; what happened on the evening before?"
15489( 2) What is the motive or the motives which have made such transformation exigent?
15489( A grown- up woman?)
15489A frequent, not very intelligible, symbol for the same is a nail- file( on account of the rubbing and scraping?).
15489After I had told her of this childish belief, she at once confirmed it with an anecdote in which the boy asks the girl:"Was it cut off?"
15489And how about the value of the dream for a knowledge of the future?
15489But can one wish for anything pleasanter after a disagreeable incident than that the exact contrary should have occurred, just as the dream has it?
15489But should n''t it be the_ other way round_?"
15489But to what opposition or to what diversity do we refer this"whence"?
15489But what is the meaning of this hysterical identification?
15489But what is the relation of the foreconscious day remnants to the dream?
15489But why does she need an unfulfilled wish?
15489But you know that only a mother can commit this crime upon her newly born child?"
15489For example, who would suspect a sexual wish in the following dream until the interpretation had been worked out?
15489Goethe:"And if he has no backside, how can the nobleman sit?"
15489Have not the unconscious feelings revealed by the dream the value of real forces in the psychic life?
15489How do you reconcile that with your theory?
15489I asked the dreamer this, and she answered without hesitation:"Has n''t the treatment made me as though I were born again?"
15489I only ask for time in which to arrange my affairs._ Can you possibly suppose this is a wish of mine to be arrested?"
15489Now of what did this lean friend speak?
15489Now tell me, what does this mean?
15489Now the dream reversed this wished- for solution; was not this in the flattest contradiction to my theory of wish- fulfillment in the dream?
15489Now what can be the meaning of the patient''s wishing to be born at her summer resort?
15489Or does the dream mean that I wish Charles to be dead rather than Otto, whom I like so much better?"
15489She also asked my patient:"When are you going to invite us again?
15489Should we take lightly the ethical significance of the suppressed wishes which, as they now create dreams, may some day create other things?
15489What does that mean?
15489What have we now to advance concerning this latter psychic process?
15489What justifies our assertion that the dream removes the disturbance of sleep?
15489What part now remains in our description of the once all- powerful and all- overshadowing consciousness?
15489What provoked the dream in the example which we have analyzed?
15489Whence came the one florin fifty kreuzers?
15489Where does she get the words which she puts into my mouth?

44085CHAPTER II: FATIGUE AND REST What causes sleep?
44085CHAPTER VIII: WISH FULFILMENT An evening paper published recently a cartoon showing a kiddie in bed who asks his mother:"What makes me dream?"
44085How could we understand sleep unless we understood the phenomena which take place in sleep: dreams?
44085If dreams"come from the stomach"why should distressed minds seek refuge in them?
44085If they are purely psychic phenomena, what relief can they afford to our dissatisfied body?
44085The answer: brain anaemia, is unsatisfactory for we may ask in turn: what causes brain anaemia?
44085The first question she asked on arising,''Where is mama?''
44085This must be constantly borne in mind when we attempt to answer the question: Where do dreams come from?
44085What causes us to withdraw partly our attention from our environment?
44085What does he say of his awakening?
44085What then induces sleep?
44085Wherein, then, does sleep differ from waking life?
44085Why is it then, that many people suffer from insomnia?
44085Why should she wish to see it wrecked?
41478Did you lose your eye since then?
41478''Their weight?''
41478( 2) WHENCE?
41478( 3) WHERE?

41478After a fortnight or so of this, Catherine said''why do n''t you relate to me the events of the day instead of recalling them to yourself?
41478Clay took a sharp look at him and said:"I met you in Kentucky many years ago, did I not?"
41478Do you want to hard enough-- have you the determination to keep at it?
41478How can the memory remember, when it is not given anything in the way of clear impressions?
41478It will draw out many bits of information and associated knowledge in your mind_:( 1) WHAT?
41478V. What things can I most readily associate with it?
41478What are its attributes, qualities and characteristics?
41478What are its natural results-- what happens because of it?
41478What caused it?
41478What do I know about it, in the way of general information?
41478What do I think of it, on the whole-- what are my general impressions regarding it?
41478What does it prove-- what can be deduced from it?
41478What have I heard about it, and from whom, and when?
41478What history or record has it?
41478What is it good for-- how may it be used-- what can I do with it?
41478What is it like?
41478What is its future; and its natural or probable end or finish?
41478Where did it come from or originate?
41478Why?
40823In the morning my nephew said,''Well, Aunt, I hope you were comfortable and had a good night?'' 40823 What are you talking about?"
40823Why ca n''t you?
40823Again, and again, sceptics, with would- be smartness, have said to me,"Where do ghosts get their clothes?
40823Ande here"into"illusionary?
40823But what about the apparition?
40823Can I do anything for you?"
40823Can it be that it is, after all, the little learning that makes the man the fool?
40823Can it be that these dreams are reminiscences of a former existence, of scenes with which I was once familiar?
40823Could it have been a case of suggestion?"
40823Dare I remain down there and wait for the phenomena?
40823Did you see it?"
40823I wonder if the sensations you experienced were in any way due to her?''"
40823Is such a thing possible?"
40823My curiosity, however, was far greater than my fear, and I kept asking myself what the Thing was, and why it was there?
40823Now, was this a case of unconscious projection, or merely of suggestion?
40823Or have they been vividly portrayed to me by an Elemental?
40823Shall I tell you what I can see in this room?''
40823The question now arises-- to what cause could the vision be attributed?
40823There are surely no tailoring establishments in the psychic world?"
40823This being so, why, then, should not all such demonstrations, whether manifesting themselves individually or collectively, be objective?
40823Unfortunately, I did not count the strokes; but what do you think it means?"
40823Whatever makes you think of him?"
40823You remember H. at school, do n''t you?
28875What is it?
28875What was the voice?
28875Who are here?
28875And fancy, hath it not the skill of artist and architect?
28875And the desires, are they not like unto the richly laden argosies of commerce?
28875And what shall we more say?
28875Are David and Dante dead?
28875Are not Tennyson and Milton a thousandfold more alive to- day than when they walked this earth?
28875At length an officer touched the mayor and said:"Do you know you have been dead a long while?
28875But can a human instrument, long out of tune and sadly injured, e''er be brought back to harmony of being?
28875But is there any divine power to cast up some divine highway?
28875But what if the parents should remember only that the clothes and hat came from some famous pattern?
28875Can one poorly born journey toward greatness of stature?
28875Does he want stone for his foundations or marble for his finishings?
28875Has Schopenhauer carried the judgment of mankind by his favorite motto,"It is safer to trust fear than faith?"
28875Have doubt and skepticism burned the divine dew off the grass, and left it sere and brown?
28875His inventions, who can number?
28875How clear him?
28875How do hand and vision protect man?
28875Is it because our age has lost faith in God?
28875Is it possible that ease and lack of responsibility, with opium, helped wreck him?
28875Is the soul soiled by sin, to be cast off by the divine Sculptor?
28875Is there a happiness?
28875Let him who knoweth what is in us reply:"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
28875Many stand before the vast abyss of literature as Bunyan''s pilgrim stood before the Slough of Despond, crying:"What shall I do?"
28875Must he give up his life, so useful and helpful, and all to save a possible year or two of life for this old man?
28875Must he go back again to the galleys with their profanity and obscenity?
28875Must he resign his mayoralty and his wealth?
28875Since, therefore, conscience partakes of this divine nature and speaks as an oracle, what are its uses and functions?
28875This would show great zeal toward the hat and the coat, but meanwhile what is to become of the boy?
28875Were not these two young wards whom he was supporting more than this one old wreck?
28875What about to- day''s purity, to- day''s loaf and to- day''s friendships?
28875What can an Eskimo, whose highest conception of summer is a stunted bush, know of tropical orchards, of luscious peach, pear and plum?
28875What did that critic mean when he said of a rich young friend,"He needs poverty alone to make him a great painter?"
28875What flute or harp is comparable for sweetness to the voice?
28875What if they should put a strait- jacket about the chest to restrain the stature?
28875What is man''s value to society?
28875What to it are nuggets or millions?"
28875What was his woe?
28875What was it in him jeering and mocking?
28875What would the youth of genius not give for the friendship of some Bacon or Shakespeare?
28875What, then, is conscience?
28875Whence came his herculean strength?
28875Who gave these steeds their color?
28875Who is He?
28875Who is He?
28875Who shall measure the divine literatures possible to all these combinations of thought, feeling and aspiration?
28875Why is our age so sad?
28875Wise men will ask, where were the hidings of this man''s power?
28875[ 1] How comes it that this little colony has raised up this great company of authors, statesmen, reformers?
28163And when they saw him they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? 28163 Do you know why money is so scarce, brothers?"
28163Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 28163 Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God?
28163Why callest thou me good? 28163 Again it is as Jesus said:For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and lose his own life?"
28163And Goethe had a still deeper vision when he said:"Who is the happiest of men?
28163And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me?
28163And may I say a word here to our Christian ministry, that splendid body of men for whom I have such supreme admiration?
28163And may I say here this word to those outside, and especially to this class of young men and young women outside of our churches?
28163And what really underlies the making of a record?
28163Are we ready for this high type of spiritual adventure?
28163As His words are recorded by Matthew:"Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
28163As Jesus said:"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
28163But what, after all, does this mean?
28163Can he be made into a spiritual man?
28163Can not this healing process be greatly accelerated by a voluntary and conscious action of the mind, assisted, if need be, by some other person?
28163Do you know that incident in connection with the little Scottish girl?
28163Hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not, neither is weary?
28163His question was:"Master, which is the great commandment in the law?"
28163If you go back to the olden time and the old conflicts, the question was,''What is the relation of Jesus Christ to the Eternal?''
28163In clear and unmistakable words he made it known-- and why should he not?
28163Is it like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened?"
28163Jesus was right-- What doth it profit?
28163Many times his question was:"Believe ye that I am able to do this?"
28163No matter how the die is cast, Or who may seem to win-- We know that we must love at last-- Why not begin?
28163Now what is the Divine call?
28163Or according to our idiom-- who can understand him?
28163Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
28163Or with what comparison shall we compare it?
28163Peace?
28163Peace?
28163Peace?
28163Shall we look for a moment to the first?
28163Shall we recall again in this connection:"I am come that ye might have life and that ye might have it more abundantly"?
28163Should not each one do his share?
28163Wars have been fought over the question,''Was he of one substance with the Father?''
28163Was Mayor Jones a Christian?
28163Was he a member of a religious organisation?
28163What can be plainer?
28163What is the cause of this almost world- wide difference in these two lives?
28163What right have I to call them his fundamentals?
28163Where were the books?
28163Who made up the complete list?
28163Why be disconcerted, why in a heat concerning so many things?
28163Why be so eager to gain possession of the hundred thousand or the half- million acres, of so many millions of dollars?
28163Wist ye not that I must be about my father''s business?
28163[ Footnote E: Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon?
28163_ We touch the Father when we help His child._ Jesus taught us not to come to God asking, art Thou this or that?
52165Less to be trusted is_ Panusch_( surely a corruption of the Greek god Pan?
38448And when is all this going to happen?
38448But they will not deny us a confessor?
38448How so?
38448Surely not princesses of the royal blood?
38448Are they, on that account, nothing more than creatures of our imagination, set free by night and darkness?
38448But the murdered man was not satisfied yet; he showed himself once more to the president and asked how he could prove his gratitude?
38448Canst thou put no limit to thy thirst of conquest?
38448Cazotte?"
38448Do you see the Prince of Condé there?
38448Finally the victim was conducted into a dark room, where he was suddenly asked by a stern, imperious voice:"Do you not see that woman in white?"
38448Had not the same Academy pronounced against the use of quinine and vaccination, against lightning- rods and steam- engines?
38448He asked her roughly what she was doing there?
38448He stopped the driver and asked him what he had hidden in his wagon?
38448Laharpe now asked:"And about me you say nothing, Cazotte?"
38448Nor was this a solitary case, for on the same day a girl of fourteen, living near the city of Orleans, had asked her father, Simonne, what a king was?
38448Then he asked the girl what she saw now?
38448They cried out:"Who on earth has made you think of prisons, poison, and the executioner?
38448They suggest the interesting but difficult question, whether visions and ecstasy can extend to large numbers of men at once?
38448What have these things to do with philosophy and the reign of reason, which we anticipate and on which you but just now congratulated us?"
38448What then can we learn from modern magic?
38448When he asks if it is a good angel or a demon, no answer is given; but the question: Art thou the Devil?
38448and if objects were placed against the sole of her foot, she would often exclaim:"What is that?
38448will you not take time to translate the book?

30601How do you get stories out of them?
30601Is it transportable?
30601Is that all you ever see yourself doing?
30601Oh, I do n''t know,the girl answered,"but it sounds so fascinating, do n''t you think?"
30601She is a perfect housekeeper and a good wifeexclaim her friends--"why should her husband spend his evenings away from home?"
30601Talk without wires? 30601 What about Helen?"
30601What will you have to do?
30601When you picture yourself in this profession what do you see yourself doing?
30601Why did you ever choose German, anyhow, Ruth?
30601Why wo n''t he run and play like other children?
30601With all the leanings you had in that direction, how did it happen you did n''t follow it?
30601Yes-- but is n''t that enough?

30601Did he do such things?
30601Did you ever notice how things pick up when the fat ones appear?
30601Do I like the activities demanded by this position?"
30601Do you like to explain and expatiate?
30601Ever ask the dreamer in your house to bring down a trunk from the attic?
30601He Likes What Works ¶"Will it work?"
30601Millionaires Marry Them ¶"Why does a brilliant business man marry that little fat woman who is not his equal mentally?"
30601Note the body build-- which one of the five body types( as shown in Charts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) does he most resemble?
30601Pleasure or Pay?
30601Remember the"Fatty"with a face like a full moon?
30601Say, what did she have to go crazy about?
30601Tells Fundamentals ¶ How much do external characteristics tell about a man?
30601The Deep Mystery ¶"What do you suppose is making me so plump?"
30601The Man of Futile Movements ¶ Did you ever look on while a pure Cerebral man tried to move a kitchen stove?
30601The Prettiest Type ¶ When a woman becomes engaged her friends all inquire,"What does he do?"
30601The big question in treating this disease and its twin, Pneumonia, is: will the heart hold out?
30601We Can Know ¶"But how is one to know the right person?"
30601When out with others do you furnish your share of the conversation or a little more?"
30601but when a man''s engagement is announced every one asks,"What does she look like?"
30601or"Is there any demand for it?"
17182Am I becoming Nu- nah?
17182And so, most revered Father, all things are progressing favorably and toward a satisfactory culmination?
17182But, truly life is sweet, especially to the young, is it not, my child?
17182Can it be?
17182Do you know your Rathunor?
17182Have I the strength and manly courage to bear the disappointment born from a delusive hope? 17182 How is our new Sarthia?"
17182Know you that this body was Nu- nah''s and this soul that of Sarthia''s?
17182My beloved Priestess, did you speak to me of the stars, those loving lights in the heavens? 17182 My child,"he said at length,"are you ready for the great change now already at hand?"
17182My darling husband, are you beside me-- are you where I can speak to you, and are we alone?
17182O, most Holy and Revered Father, tell me, am I wrong in not listening to the monitions that are racking my inmost being? 17182 To- morrow night will be the full, and must we indeed lose our Sarthia before another new Moon?
17182What is the result, Venerated Father?
17182What was there in that music that so enchanted Nu- nah? 17182 Why, how is this?"
17182Will that be soon?
17182Am I not a strange interloper?
17182Are there such possibilities for my soul?"
17182Are they speaking to my darling child?
17182Are you yourself again?"
17182But, my child, if all these portents prove true, do you fear death?
17182But, need we think by that, the blind forces of Nature can no more be controlled?
17182Can my request be granted, O Priestess?"
17182Can you hear me further?"
17182Could she leave her Temple home, her opportunities for growth, her idolized Priestess, to go into the environments of Nu- nah?
17182Did he dare for a moment listen to the whispering of the interior self?
17182Did you so deeply love the Princess?"
17182Do I make myself plain to you?
17182Do you hear their silent voices and feel their subtle and powerful influences upon you?"
17182Do you know, O my Rathunor, that our souls sustain that divine relation to each other that makes us immortal, because of being complete?
17182Do you, dear Mother, and can you tell me?"
17182Does he bring tidings from our revered Father?
17182Has any new testimony been given by the stars that portends evil to our Sarthia?"
17182Has not our worthy Father acquainted you with my new- found joy, my Love-- my Sister?
17182Have all our teachings been in vain?
17182How came I to know the chants and music of the Temple Service?"
17182I have heard it before, but where, O, where?
17182Is it not that there is something to know-- something that our common brains can not grasp and analyze?
17182Is it your desire to become a Vestal of Isis?
17182Is there not that longing, too, within your bosom for something more real, more ennobling than the pastimes of worldly pleasures?"
17182Know you not the divine relation that exists between Sarthia and myself?
17182Know you the young Princess Nu- nah?"
17182May I hope the love that is growing within my soul will be surely recognized and reciprocated by Nu- nah on her return to physical health?
17182May this not be the stars that we see twinkling and motioning to us as we gaze into the midnight heavens?"
17182My Rathunor, are you satisfied?
17182My brother Hermo?"
17182Nu- nah what is that which produces the interior longings to know?
17182Over and over he asked himself,"Can I wait to see my beloved sister?"
17182Sarthia was bidden to rise, when the Priest, in measured and solemn tones, addressed her:"Do you come to pledge yourself to Temple Service?
17182She turned and gazed upon her companion, mentally asking,"Can I become Nu- nah?"
17182The Astrologer turned to Hermo and said,"Hear you the request of our Priestess here?
17182They disappeared as mysteriously as they came, but where?
17182Think you we have also fulfilled our promise that Rathunor shall love you?"
17182Was it not worse by my decision to rob Nu- nah of her lover than to deprive her of continued physical life?"
17182Was this change volitional?
17182What did she see and hear that revived a faint memory of something in the past?
17182What is the nature of these evil influences?"
17182What magical force was it that drew her so irresistibly toward the Temple?
17182What produced that quiver which preceded her falling insensible into his arms?"
31341And did you not speak to it?
31341And what answer, Mr. Justice, I pray you-- what answer did it make you?
31341Are you quite sure of it?
31341Are you sure it was an ass, Jervais?
31341Do not you remember Mr.----, whose ghost has been so much talked of? 31341 My lord,"said they,"what can human force effect against people of t''other world?
31341Who are you? 31341 Will Mary this charge on her courage allow?"
31341''Do not you remember, child,''said she,''that the pigeon- house fell the very afternoon that our careless wench spilt the salt upon the table?''
31341''Tis true, thus far I''ve come with heedless haste; No reck''ning kept, no passing objects trac''d: And can I then have reach''d that very tree?
31341''_ How came you there?_''said they.
31341''_ Nay, how the devil know I?_''answered the mad- woman.
31341After dinner, the merchant, taking him into his counting- room, said,"You do not recollect me?"
31341Another question was, Whether some of the then company had not a relation that had been buried in the same vault where she lay?
31341But pray, Sir, how went this affair?
31341Had the story stopped here, what would not superstition have made of it?
31341He suddenly stopped, and demanded who she was?
31341I then leaped upon the forecastle, and asked of the people who were walking there, if such a figure had passed them?
31341Is it a trick, or do I dream?"
31341Is it for the credit of this philosophical age, that so bungling an imposture should deceive seven clergymen into a public act of exorcism?
31341One of their Honours, this night, spoke; and, in the name of God, asked what it was?
31341Or is its rev''rend form assum''d by thee?"
31341The tallest of these young gentlemen then asked him, in a hoarse tone of voice, what was his heaviest sin?
31341There it happened that a couple of young females, coming to the vault, heard a noise below, crying,''_ Who the plague are ye?
31341They asked, severally, if it was their relation?
31341Upon this, one of the company asked, whether it would return again, and at what time?
31341Upon which they called out, and asked,''_ Who''s there?
31341What are ye?_''''_ The Devil_,''replied the traveller below.
31341What d''ye make that noise for?
31341What is there in a church more than in any other building?
31341When he had somewhat recovered his recollection, he ejaculated,"In the name of God, do tell me who you are?
31341When knocking hard at the door, the maid- servant asked who was there?
31341When shall I pass the vacant hours, Rejoicing in my woodbine bowers; To smoke my pipe, and sing my song; Regardless how they pass along?
31341When take my fill of pastime there, In sweet forgetfulness of care?"
31341Wherefore moan, and wherefore sigh?
31341Who is she, the poor maniac, whose wildly fix''d eyes Seem a heart overcharg''d to express?
31341and what they wanted?
31341and why it disturbed them so?
31341fathers, who was he, so gay, That stood beside the chapel door?
31341the hollow- sounding gale Seems to sweep in murmurs by, Sinking slowly down the vale; Wherefore, gentle lady, sigh?
31341what in darkness more than light, which in themselves should have power to raise such ideas as I have now experienced?
31341what is it?''
42055But,finally he remarks,"is not a man''s stomach more to him than his back?
42055*** Now, why do the various animals do what seem to us such strange things in the presence of such outlandish stimuli?
42055But can they and do they?
42055But do we find it so?
42055But what are the"intellectual powers"so employed, and how are they employed?
42055But what can we know about_ that which_ thinks, feels, and wills, and what can we find out about it?
42055Can any one doubt that this course would bring great ultimate happiness?
42055Do you realize the difficulty?
42055For instance, one makes a remark, and at once we wonder,"How did he come to think of that?"
42055Is it not true that what they believe to be original creations of the imagination are merely_ new combinations_ of original impressions?
42055Not very clear this, is it?
42055The cultivation of the"Why?"
42055The influence of environment is great-- and what is environment but things perceived about one?
42055The pig has but little imagination,--little pain and little joy,--but who envies the pig?
42055To the metaphysician alone can such questions arise as: Why do we smile when pleased and not scowl?
42055Try to form a mental picture of the general class of birds-- how will you do it?
42055What is it to_ think_?
42055What is the Mind?
42055What matters it to us if the outside world be filled with manifold objects, if we do not perceive them to exist?
42055What obstacle can stay the mighty force Of the sea- seeking river in its course, Or cause the ascending orb of day to wait?
42055Where is it?
42055Why are we unable to talk to a crowd as to a single friend?
42055Why do men always lie down, when they can, on soft beds rather than on soft floors?
42055Why do they sit around a stove on a cold day?
42055Why does a particular maiden turn our wits upside down?
42055Why does the maiden interest the youth so much that everything about her seems more important and significant than anything else in the world?
42055Why, in a room, do they place themselves, ninety- nine times out of a hundred, with their faces toward its middle rather than to the wall?
14461And in what part of the chamber do you now conceive the apparition to appear?
14461And who got the mastery, I pray you?
14461And why should that be unlucky?
14461Is that the thanks I am to have for my labour?
14461Ladies,he said,"this is very well, but somewhat monotonous-- will you be so kind as to change the tune?"
14461Look you for thanks at my hand?
14461Now,said the queen,"how long think you that you have been here?"
14461Then I understand,continued the physician,"it is now present to your imagination?"
14461This skeleton, then,said the doctor,"seems to you to be always present to your eyes?"
14461What do you think of this?
14461You say you are sensible of the delusion,said his friend;"have you firmness to convince yourself of the truth of this?
14461& c. Canst thou dance no better?
14461& c. Ransack the old records of all past times and places in thy memory; canst thou not there find out some better way of trampling?
14461''What will you have of me?''
14461( 4) Durst you have used her in this manner if she had been rich?
14461A young gentleman, brother to the lady, seeing him, switcht him about the ears, saying--''You warlock carle, what have you to do here?''
14461And can not a palsy shake such a loose leg as that?
14461And has he not within a year Hang''d threescore of them in one shire?
14461And what could any of us have done better, excepting in that case where she complied with you too much, and offered to let you swim her?
14461And wherein differ thy leapings from the hoppings of a frog, or the bouncings of a goat, or friskings of a dog, or gesticulations of a monkey?
14461Another, of a woman, who asked seriously, when she was accused, if a woman might be a witch and not know it?
14461But see you yet a fourth road, sweeping along the plain to yonder splendid castle?
14461But who has heard or seen an authentic account from Earl St. Vincent, or from his"companion of the watch,"or from his lordship''s sister?
14461Can you take courage enough to rise and place yourself in the spot so seeming to be occupied, and convince yourself of the illusion?"
14461Did the true Deity refuse Saul the response of his prophets, and could a witch compel the actual spirit of Samuel to make answer notwithstanding?
14461Dost thou not twirl like a calf that hath the turn, and twitch up thy houghs just like a springhault tit?
14461Have I not cause to have a sore heart?"
14461He did not speak for the space of an hour, till his brother broke silence and asked,"How he did?"
14461He thus expostulates with some of the better class who were eager for the prosecution:--"(1) What single fact of sorcery did this Jane Wenham do?
14461I ask( 2) Did she so much as speak an imprudent word, or do an immoral action, that you could put into the narrative of her case?
14461Is this the top of skill and pride, to shuffle feet and brandish knees thus, and to trip like a doe and skip like a squirrel?
14461It was followed up by the counsel for the prisoners asking, in the cross- examination of MacPherson,"What language did the ghost speak in?"
14461Pump thine invention dry; can not the universal seed- plot of subtile wiles and stratagems spring up one new method of cutting capers?
14461Smack?"
14461The strangers saluted her, and said,"Welcome, Bessie; wilt thou go with us?"
14461They might say to the theologist, Will you not believe in witches?
14461Thome answered,"Seest thou not me both meat- worth, clothes- worth, and well enough in person?"
14461What charm did she use, or what act of witchcraft could you prove upon her?
14461What single fact that was against the statute could you fix upon her?
14461When he had come to her,''Sandie,''says she,''what is this you have done to my brother William?''
14461Who was your father?
14461You remember, doubtless, the disease of which the Duke d''Olivarez is there stated to have died?"
14461and doth not her poverty increase rather than lessen your guilt in what you did?
14461and into whose hands did you put yourselves?
14461and( if the true sense of the statute had been turned upon you) which way would you have defended yourselves?
14461is this the dancing that Richard gave himself to thee for?
14461said the apparition,"why must thou make such dole and weeping for any earthly thing?"
14461says the afflicted young lady;"and what news do you bring?"
45020Are you willing to be blindfolded?
45020But where can I get a man?
45020Can you tell where water is?
45020Did you ever hear of''water- witching?''
45020How deep is the water?
45020Then,said I,"how do you know where the spring is?"
45020What would you say to an old barrel hoop?
45020Why did you sit down?
45020He asked,"Can you tell how deep it is to the water in the well in this hotel yard?"
45020He came into my office one day and said:"Mr. Latimer, do you not think there is water under that ground?"
45020I asked first,"What do you use?"
45020Now, like the young students above cited, some one among you may exclaim,"Who will inform me who can be the author of this ridiculous superstition?"
45020Who ever heard of a soul being buried?
45020Why?
45020do n''t you see the stick turn?
45020who can tell me the author of so ridiculous an epitaph?"
15568But why should any one be shooting in our garden at nearly midnight?
15568Did you not see it?
15568See what?
15568Why, what is the matter?
15568And in either case how can guilt be transferred from one person to the other?
15568And when, do you suppose, twice two will cease to make four?
15568But if the atom be imperfect as an atom, how could it combine with other atoms?
15568But if unregulated thought acts as a centre of impulse, why should not regulated thought do the same?
15568But perhaps the reader will say: How can a Word take form as a Person?
15568But perhaps you will say,"Why should we want to have anything more to do with the physical plane?
15568But perhaps you will say: How can this be, seeing that by the hypothesis the Soul of the Universe is Impersonal, and therefore unintelligent?
15568But perhaps you will say:"How am I to know that I am not speaking my own Word instead of that of the Creative Spirit?"
15568But perhaps you will say:"If this be true, what word or words am I to employ?"
15568But some one will say: Why should we need such a Standard?
15568But what do we mean by"Sin"?
15568But what is accomplished by the journey of the Ego round the Circle of Life?
15568But what is it in us that is aware of these two things, that hopes and fears and plans regarding them?
15568But what starts the vibrations?
15568But why should the reconstruction of a physical body be either necessary or desirable?
15568But you heard the shot, did you not?"
15568Do you not know that First Cause works by universal Law, and makes no exceptions?"
15568Fancy a mathematician having to solve an equation, both sides of which were entirely made up of unknown quantities-- where would he be?
15568First of all, why have we any physical body at all?
15568Forgiveness of sin?
15568How could you paint a picture without distinction of form, colour, or tone?
15568How is it possible for the Laws of the Universe to make exceptions?
15568How, then, does the Atonement come in?
15568If it be to God, then how can a God who demands a sacrifice of blood be Love?
15568If the Law can not be altered in the least particular, how can the Word be free to do what it likes?
15568If the power of the Spirit over things of the material plane be an impossibility, then by what power did Jesus perform his miracles?
15568In what direction is the conscious thought going to modify the action of the three principles that are below it?
15568In what manner, then, is this influence conveyed?
15568Instances of this kind might be multiplied, but as the French say"à quoi bon?"
15568Now can we conceive any combination of the Law and the Word which would produce such results?
15568One of the first things that naturally attract our attention is the question,--How did Life originate?
15568Perhaps some one may say: Can not it_ make_ suitable channels for any sort of expression that it needs?
15568Perhaps you will say:"What came of it?"
15568Punishment for Sin?
15568So then comes the question: What started this differentiation?
15568Then our sceptic says,"What, do you think_ your_ word can do that?"
15568Then our thought naturally passes on to the question what will happen after this?
15568Then the question very naturally suggests itself: Why did not God create us so that we could not think negative or destructive thoughts?
15568Then, since the Word is the Point of Origination, what is our conception of the best thing we can originate with it?
15568They say:"How is it that apparitions are always seen in the dark?"
15568This brings us to another important question-- is not the creative power of the Word limited by the immutability of the Law?
15568To God or to the Devil?
15568To whom is the sacrifice offered?
15568We can not conceive of any time when it was not, for, if there was a time when no such Primary Energizing Life existed, what was there to energize it?
15568Well, St. Paul is dead and buried, and so I suppose will most of us be in a few years; so the question confronts us, what becomes of us then?
15568What further developments may follow, who shall say?
15568What then does stop the flow of any sort of current?
15568What then is likely to survive?
15568What, then, is the"Motif"of Life?
15568When, do you suppose, twice two began to make four?
15568Where then are we to find the Word which will produce these conditions: perfect freedom from anxiety and continual, happy interest?
15568Which comes first, the Law or the Word?
15568Which of the two is to predominate?
15568Why then does the balance preponderate to the life- side for a certain length of time, and then go over to the opposite side?
15568[ 4] But what is it that occasions these vibrations of the nerves?
15568viii, 2)?
563Hence, why should anyone covet what is in the possession of his brother?
563How could it if we are doing the Father''s work?
14599Am I speaking too positively?
14599And in this fact lies the whole answer to the question,"Why does man create pain for his own discomfort?"
14599And when they open, what is it that is found?
14599And why?
14599At least, to ask a lesser question, is it impossible to make a guess as to the direction in which our goal lies?
14599But are these results unknowable?
14599But can any earnest student of Theosophy deny, or object to this?
14599But what is the iron bar and the knot?
14599Conquer what?
14599Destiny, the inevitable, does indeed exist for the race and for the individual; but who can ordain this save the man himself?
14599Does it not agree perfectly with the teaching of the Bhagavat- Gita?
14599Granted, then, for the sake of our argument, that he desires pain, why is it that he desires anything so annoying to himself?
14599Has the statement too dogmatic a sound?
14599How else can he be where he is, or be at all?
14599How is it possible to divide the infinite,--that which is one?
14599How is it possible to obtain recognition of the inner man, to observe its growth and foster it?
14599How is it that the profound sinner who lives for pleasure can at last feel stir within himself the divine afflatus?
14599How, then, can he know that he lives?
14599If religion be of God how is it that we find that same God in his own works and acts violating the precepts of religion?
14599In contemplating a battlefield it is impossible to realize the agony of every sufferer; why, then, realize your own pain more keenly than another''s?
14599In how many virtuous and religious men does not this same state exist?
14599Is it not a pure statement of the law of Karma?
14599Is it not enough to produce a weariness and sickness unutterable, to be forever accomplishing a task only to see it undone again?
14599Is it too dogmatic to say that a man must have foothold before he can spring?
14599Is there one?
14599It can not answer the question"what am I?"
14599Knowledge is man''s greatest inheritance; why, then, should he not attempt to reach it by every possible road?
14599Otherwise how could they exist, even for an hour, in such a mental and psychic atmosphere as is created by the confusion and disorder of a city?
14599Otherwise why place them so far off?
14599Shall we not search for it?
14599Some scant fragments we have of these great gifts of man; where, then, is the whole of which they must be a part?
14599The disciple may say, Should I study these thoughts at all did I not seek out the way?
14599This can not last always; why let it last any longer?
14599VII What is the cure for this misery and waste of effort?
14599What are these two gaunt figures, and why are they permitted to be our constant followers?
14599What are those waters?
14599What good fortune can we expect?
14599What good has the drunkard obtained by his madness?
14599What has given this ghastly shape the right to haunt us from the hour we are born until the hour we die?
14599What then can he do but reconcile his conduct gradually to their rules?
14599What then will be the value of the knowledge of its laws acquired by industry and observation?
14599What value or strength is there in the neglected garden rose which has the canker in every bud?
14599What we desire to discover is, who is the user; what part of ourselves is it that demands the presence of this thing so hateful to the rest?
14599What we desire to discover is, who is the user; what part of ourselves is it that demands the presence of this thing so hateful to the rest?"
14599When will that ultimate good be attained?
14599Where is this to be found?
14599Who cares for any intermediate states?
14599Who places those obstacles there?
14599Why does he desire his own hurt?
14599Why does he not stay on this hill- top he has reached, and look away to the mountains beyond, and resolve to scale those greater heights?
14599Why is this?
14599Why long and look for that which is beyond all hope until the inner eyes are opened?
14599Why not piece together the fragments that we have, at hand, and see whether from them some shape can not be given to the vast puzzle?
14599Why should he not die for it?
14599Why should this be, will be asked at once, if he is a being of such great powers as those say who believe in his existence?
14599Why this useless labor?
14599Why, then, should she shut her doors on any?
14599Why?
14599Yet is it for his own people to say he has done wrong, if he has injured no man and remained just?
14599Yet man has undoubtedly within himself the heroism needed for the great journey; else how is it martyrs have smiled amid the torture?
45282Is not my word like as a fire? 45282 But why should I wonder, if those who believe not Moses and the prophets, will not believe though one should rise from the dead? 45282 He asked,If I would be converted upon the tryal?"
45282He asked,"What language?"
45282Is he near me?''
45282Is this their errand indeed?''
45282What criminals could ever be condemned if such proofs were not deemed sufficient?
45282What,_ are they come to apprehend the gentlewoman_?

45282what do you want?"
23347( Is not this true?)
23347Am I?
23347And do those who clatter about the duty of marriage kiss the girls of their hearts with an eye to the general welfare?
23347And do you think she would refuse?
23347And does it not stand to reason that high merit must be very exceptional?
23347And if it is so?
23347And why the detail about red ink?
23347Are successful men more industrious, frugal, and intelligent than men who are not successful?
23347Are there, then, artificialities which are not"petty,"which are noble, large, and grand?
23347Are they possible to that renowned and much- flattered person, the man in the street?
23347Are we only to buy the books that we read?
23347Are you reasonably sure that it is a good book?
23347But am I going to fetter my buying to my reading?
23347But do you suppose I am going to read them?
23347Can it be that I have already lived?
23347Children?
23347Do I carry my audience with me?
23347Do I exaggerate?
23347Do I make my meaning clear?
23347Do they, as they grow old, resemble disappointed men?
23347Do you ask me where the knife is to be used?
23347Do you suppose I am engaged in looking up my favourite passages?
23347Do you suppose that I can recall the wisdom that I happen already to have read?
23347Do you suppose that the presence of these books, after our long separation, is making me read more than I did?
23347Do you think my percentages are wrong, you who have been married a long time and know what the world is?
23347Do your marriages of''romance''turn out better than our marriages of prudence, of careful thought, of long foresight?
23347Have they struggled for success and been beaten?
23347Have you a desire to possess it?
23347Have you not noticed it?
23347Have you read"X"?
23347Have you thought of them?
23347How comes it that men without any other talent possess a mysterious and indefinable talent to succeed?
23347How could it be otherwise?
23347How will he think of it?
23347In London alone are there not hundreds of miles of streets crammed with industry, frugality, and prudence?
23347In a word, what''s it worth?
23347Naturally, in England, he could n''t go up to the Chosen Fair and announce:"I am not precisely in love with you, but will you marry me?"
23347Strange, is it not?
23347Suppose it does n''t arrive?
23347Supposing that_ you_ came into a drawing- room where you were having tea, do you think you would recognize yourself as an individuality?
23347Think of your best friends-- are you oblivious of their defects?
23347Well, searchers after the real, what would you substitute for it?
23347What am I likely to get out of it?
23347What are your precautions?
23347What do I force my mind to meditate upon?
23347What is it to us what Plato thought?
23347What is the result?
23347What of the rest?
23347What precautions are you going to take against failure this time?
23347What shall you be saying of yourself at fifty?
23347What then?
23347What will become of England if this continues?
23347What will he do?
23347Where is the English system then?
23347Which is right?
23347Why a necktie?
23347Why babble?
23347Why do they not?
23347Why shave?
23347Why should he not try the French system for a change?
23347Why wait?
23347Why, then, attempt to deceive ourselves"--that remorse for wickedness is a useful and praiseworthy exercise?
23347Why?
23347Why?
23347Will he remark with genuine concern that his mind is sadly out of condition and that he really must do something to get it into order?
23347Will he stay out all day, and return in the evening too tired even to read his paper?
23347You search for happiness?
23347You would be apt to say to yourself, as guests do when disturbed in drawing- rooms by other guests:"Who''s this chap?
41519As some writer has said, psychology has no more concern with the solution of the eternal riddle of"What is Mind?"
41519Ask your imagination if it will accept a vibrating multiple proportion-- a numerical ratio in a state of oscillation?
41519But in the finding of this truth, and in the application of its principles, where are we to begin?
41519Follow them up to their origin, and what do you there find?
41519How?
41519It may be asked:--If we can not help being logicians, why do we need logic books at all?
41519The question ever in the mind in Inductive Reasoning is"_ Why?_"The dominant idea in Inductive Reasoning is the Search for Causes.
41519V. How?
41519V. What things can I most readily associate with it?
41519What are its attributes, qualities or characteristics?
41519What are its natural results-- what happens because of it?
41519What are the great centers of life about which we may build a greater and a greater life?
41519What are we to do first?
41519What caused it?
41519What do I know about it, in the way of general information?
41519What do I think of it, on the whole-- what are my general impressions regarding it?
41519What does it prove-- what can be deduced from it?
41519What have I heard about it, and from whom, and when?
41519What history or record has it?
41519What is it good for-- how may it be used-- what can I do with it?
41519What is it most like?
41519What is its future; and its natural or probable end or finish?
41519What is thought?
41519What then do you expect to find as the source of a series of ether waves?
41519What?
41519When Newton saw the apple fall, the anticipatory question flashed through his mind,''Why do not the heavenly bodies fall like this apple?''
41519When?
41519Whence?
41519Where did it come from, or originate?
41519Where?
41519Whither?
41519Why?
41519Why?

20522O mother, can you believe?
20522--_The Author.__ CREATION OR EVOLUTION?
20522A man of genius is to make his wife miserable?
20522And with this yet again: How may he use his inheritance-- to what end and under what limitations?
20522But how great a variation?
20522But it may be asked: Why do succeeding generations improve each on its parents, so that there is a gradual tendency to perfect the instinct?
20522But, on the other hand, we may ask: How do we come to infer this or that thought from this or that action of another?
20522Do they play much with one another alone?
20522Do we find inroads made in Newport society by the ranchman and the dry- goods clerk?
20522Does he sleep in the same bed or room with them?
20522Does the coachman have an equal chance to get the heiress, or the blacksmith the clergyman''s daughter?
20522Does the female pea- fowl consider the male bird, with all his display of colour and movement, a beautiful object?
20522For as soon as we ask,"How much mind is necessary to start with?"
20522For instance, what use to an animal to be able partly to make the movements of swimming, or to the birds to build an inadequate nest?
20522Furthermore, why is it that plays are characteristic of species, different kinds of animals having plays quite peculiar to themselves?
20522Generally, then, who is eligible for the social inheritance?
20522Given social variations, therefore, differences among men, what becomes of this man or that?
20522Has he brothers or sisters?
20522How did his father come to marry his mother, and the reverse?
20522How does he learn the muscular combinations which supplement or replace the earlier instinctive ways of acting?
20522Is this a reason for excluding him from society?
20522Now what is the line of treatment that such a child should have?
20522Now what shall be done with such a student in his early school years?
20522Now, if this be the social heritage, we may go on to ask: Who are to inherit it?
20522Should not the colours chosen be equal in purity, intensity, lustre, illumination, etc.?
20522The incessant"why?"
20522The last question, then, is this: When does the child get the different colour_ Sensations_( not recognitions), and in what order?
20522There, is that better, my darling?"
20522To this we may again add the further question: How does the one who is born to such a heritage as this come into his inheritance?
20522Was there ever a child who did not play"church,"and force the improvised"papa"into the pulpit?
20522We exclaim at once: who made the past the measure of the future?
20522What can set limit to the possible variations of fruitful intellectual power?
20522What could tell us more of what mind is than this record of what mind has done?
20522What goes on in this interval between the advent of the incoming nerve process and the discharge of the outgoing nerve process?
20522What is meant by Intelligence?
20522What possesses a man, that all on a sudden, without consulting a doctor, he takes it into his head to eat nothing but vegetables?
20522What, then, is social heredity?
20522What, then, shall we say of the genius from this point of view?
20522Who is free from social considerations in selecting his wife?
20522Who will deny to the Great Purpose a similar resource in producing the universe and in providing for us all?
20522Why be content with an impression?
20522Why hint of a"certain this and a certain that"when the"certain,"if it mean anything, commonly means the uncertain?
20522Why let the personal reaction of the individual''s feeling suffice?
20522Would not the rest of the rat tribe be justified in leaving this anomaly behind to starve in the hole where his singular appendage held him fast?
20522Yet why guess?
20522_ The Origin of Right- handedness._--The question,"Why are we right or left- handed?"
20522and who made social approval the measure of truth?
20522how many of each, and of what age?
20522must be followed by a second-- i.e., What did his doing that mean?
20522when his friend in the sport makes a fine feint, and comes up serene with the knowing look, which the human on- looker can not fail to understand?
20034Are you mad?
20034But the sunbeams do not follow every one, auntie, do they?
20034But what am I to do? 20034 But where did he go?"
20034Can you give me any information,I asked,"about a lady whose Christian name was Jane?"
20034Do you mean the Haunted Tower?--the Tower that is supposed to contain the secret room?
20034Do you think, auntie,I asked with a thrill of joy,"do you think it at all likely that I shall see Aunt Alicia again to- night?"
20034How can the sunbeams follow one?
20034How do you come to know about her?
20034I wonder why that is?
20034Talking about psychic things, O''Donnell,he said,"do you know there is a haunted house near where we are staying?
20034What are they?
20034What makes you ask such strange questions, child?
20034What-- what in the name of-- what does it all mean?
20034Who are you?
20034Who was she?
20034Who will go first?
20034Why, Mary,Margaret exclaimed,"whatever is the matter?
20034''No,''replied Miss D.;''who in the world is he?''
20034*****"Now, Mr. O''Donnell,"Miss Macdonald added,"having heard our experiences, my mother''s and mine, what is your opinion?
20034A wild bit of extravagance, eh?
20034And if she had imagined the noises, why did she not imagine other things; why, for example, did she not see tables dance, and tea- urns walk?
20034And supposing it should turn round and face her, what should she see?
20034And yet if it was n''t the ghost of Jean, whose ghost was it?
20034But was the so- called"Pearlin''Jean"really the apparition of the murdered French woman?
20034But why white?
20034CASE VIII THE DRUMMER OF CORTACHY What ancient Scottish or Irish family has not its Family Ghost?
20034Come, what do you want?"
20034Could I be ill?
20034Could this be the home of the genii?
20034Did she mean to make love to him herself?
20034Do n''t you know it''s haunted?"
20034Do you understand?"
20034For what were they intended?
20034How can one explain it all?"
20034How dare you enter this room without my permission?"
20034How on earth had she got there?
20034If, for instance, the apparition were that of a Sister of Charity, why should it appear incongruously attired in a long trailing gown of lace?
20034In the face of such a unanimous denial what could he say?
20034In the name of God, why?
20034It was a shadow, only a shadow, but of what?
20034Now tell me who he was, and why he was permitted to frighten me in this manner?"
20034Now, Mr. O''Donnell, have you had enough horrors for one evening, or would you like to hear just one more?"
20034The scissors, why were they in her fingers?
20034Very well, then, if I tell you what I know and you write about it, will you promise not to allude to the house by its right number?
20034Was I going mad?
20034Was it another of the mysteries God concealed from little girls?
20034Was it she he wanted this time-- she, or-- or whom-- in the name of all that was pitiable?
20034Was this garden, which was all white, in any way connected with the sunbeams and heliotrope?
20034What did it mean?
20034What did it portend?
20034What had produced them?
20034What has happened?"
20034What is the history of the head?
20034What was it?
20034What was it?
20034What was the thing?
20034What was this change?
20034What''s the matter with ye, beast?"
20034What''s yon figure that I see?
20034What''s yon figure, Tammas?"
20034What-- what in the name of Heaven should I see?
20034Whence did it originate?
20034Who on earth was this frantic female?
20034Who was Jane, and why should her ghost haunt George Street?"
20034Who was he?
20034Whose was it?
20034Why could not she put them down?
20034Why did she glance from them to the baby?
20034Why did she pick them up and feel the blades so caressingly with her thumb?
20034Why, then, had she started?
20034Why?
20034You do n''t?
20034You love the sunlight, do you not?"
20034You promise?
20034and without any invitation from me, how dare you let him in?"
20034he said;"what are you talking about?
20034she asked herself, and how on earth had he got there, and what was he doing?
20034she exclaimed,"is she still there?
44029''And when I die, John Norton is to have this house and farm whether I will or not?''
44029''Are you crazy?''
44029''The farm is n''t mine?''
44029''There were no indications of this sort when I saw you yesterday?''
44029''This farm that I''ve run for goin''on forty- three year next spring is n''t mine to do with what I please with it?
44029''What is the matter with you, man?
44029''What on earth have you been doing to yourself?''
44029''Where do you feel the pain?''
44029A cell, looked at from without, moves only when stimulated; but is this really true?
44029And as Thought is based largely upon Belief, can we not see the dynamic force of Faith?
44029And what of the patient for whom the direful prognosis was intended?
44029Arsenic?
44029But is it true of the body?
44029Can states of mind cause or cure disease?
44029Do I not choose, and either do the thing or not, as determined from within?
44029How many cases of hay- fever have a somewhat similar origin in the unconscious mind?...
44029If this is true of the body, why not of the cell?
44029Is not the wonder- working of the cults now understandable?
44029Is there not a real psychological basis for so- called"miracles?"
44029May not the stimulation we see be a condition only, and the real cause of the act be within the cell itself?...
44029Now is your proposition the real cause of my act, or only a condition?
44029Of what did this man die?
44029To avert disease, then, we must eradicate fear; but how shall we accomplish it?
44029You do n''t seem to have been drinking?''
26893And he said unto them, Why have you saved the women and the children? 26893 How do you know?"
26893What next is going to happen?
26893When then,said Socrates, in the_ Phædo_,"does the soul light on the truth?
26893: the intelligent Will of Man, determined to govern his own house, and responsible for results?
26893Again I ask,"Is it not worth while?"
26893And is this a"Study in Psychology"?
26893And what has this to do with America?
26893And what is all this but a lesson in practical psychology, the growth of the soul?
26893And who_ constrains_ us but_ ourselves_?
26893Can God and Nature be so prodigal, noting even the sparrows fall, and yet disregard the children of men?
26893Can it be that there is no great truth back of all these struggles and aspirations of the human soul?
26893Can the reader imagine such a degree of_ Self- Control_?
26893Can you wonder that the real science of the Human Soul found little recognition, or that it was denied as possible to man?
26893Can you wonder why so few"understand Browning"?
26893Could many an English judge say the same?"
26893Did Jesus of Nazareth differ in kind or in_ Degree_, from the rest of Humanity?
26893Did it pay?
26893Do not the principles that adhere in atom, molecule and mass, still hold in worlds and solar systems?
26893Does it elevate or degrade him?
26893Does it pay?
26893How do you know anything, except as you see, or experience it?
26893If man were built upon some other scheme or plan than the rest of nature, how could he apprehend or adjust himself to Nature?
26893If this be true, and it is readily demonstrable, what subject is of equal importance; and what facts and considerations are so transcendent as these?
26893Is Tantalus, after all, the creator and Father of Man?
26893Is it not plain, therefore, how impossible it is to separate the Individual and the Social status?
26893Is it not purely a question of_ fact_, and of scientific demonstration, to be determined by experiment?
26893Is it not through personal experience?
26893Is it not_ worth while_?
26893Is it worth while?
26893Is it_ worth while_?
26893Is not this precisely what is meant by"The Reign of Law"?
26893Is there not something after all in the_ Measure of Values_, and in the inexorable_ Law of Use_?
26893It is awareness of an idea, percept, concept, or act awakened, called to attention by another, with the question, how does it strike you?
26893It may be well to reflect a moment, and ask ourselves, how it is that we really know anything?
26893May not the Individual Intelligence on the physical plane communicate with the denizens of the spiritual plane_ at his own volition, independently_?
26893One further consideration remains to be noted at this time, as the question is sure to arise:"How about woman in the Great Work?"
26893Put the question,"does it pay?"
26893Shall we ever meet them again?
26893Start almost any subject, propose almost any scheme, adventure, or investment, and the question is asked,"Will it pay?"
26893That there is no possible realization back of these soulful endeavors?
26893The Measure of Values, and the Law of Use_ hold everywhere_, in every department of human life; and the question,"Does it pay?"
26893The aim and the results along these lines are often good and helpful; then why clothe them in the garb of absurdities?
26893The foregoing quotations have been made from a little volume,"India: What Can It Teach Us?"
26893The question is continually asked,"Why do the Masters of Wisdom Conceal their Knowledge?"
26893The question is no longer,"What think ye of Jesus?"
26893What are the_ facts_?
26893What do they reveal and signify?
26893What is this but the_ methods_ of Natural Science applied to Psychical Science upon the basis of the Unity of Natural Phenomena and Universal Law?
26893What will become of us when we die?
26893What will the new religion-- the new revelation-- be?
26893What would I have my readers do?
26893When asked by the average intelligence,"What does it all mean?"
26893Where are they?
26893Who can tell?
26893Will it_ pay_?
26893Will the day darken, the Light be quenched?
26893With Psychology?
26893With the Measure of Values?
26893Would not Jesus become, indeed and in truth, a_ Living Example_, in place of a"Blood Offering"?
26893_ And why not?_ If man can conceive it, why may he not_ realize_ it?
26893_ And why not?_ If man can conceive it, why may he not_ realize_ it?
26893_ Does it pay?_ It all depends on_ use_.
26893_ Of what use to man_, measured by these scientific standards of value, are Popery and Priestcraft?
26893and whence will it come?
26893but"What_ know_ ye of your own soul?"
26893inspired only by love of disappointment, defeat, and despair, in his children?
26893or,"Does the real man ever die at all?"
26893what do you think of it?
26893what, if anything, do you wish, or propose to do about it?
36595And now,she added,"would n''t you like me to put a curse on that woman?
36595But how could they get in?
36595But there is a dog,said Mrs. Hudson impatiently;"ca n''t you see it standing there looking at us?"
36595How do you know that?
36595I do n''t see one; where do you see it?
36595I inquired then,''What did she say to you when this was over?'' 36595 On one occasion he asked her,''Well, Molly, have you seen a funeral lately?''
36595What didst thou hear? 36595 What dog?"
36595What was he like?
36595''What was that?''
36595And what about this man, if he had not happened to find him lying there?
36595Art thou frightened?"
36595Borrow said:"They( corpse- candles) foreshadow deaths, do n''t they?"
36595But that evening John went to the house of''Liza the Witch, and, knocking at the door, cried,"How be''st thou,''Liza?"
36595But where was the hare?
36595CHAPTER IV OTHER GHOSTS"What beckoning ghost along the moonlight shade, Invites my steps, and points to yonder glade?"
36595CONCLUSION CHAPTER I INTRODUCTORY"Strange, is it not?
36595Could it have been possible, I wonder, that the fruitless séance was answerable for the creature''s appearance?
36595For surely the room, so short a time deserted, is nevertheless peopled-- and by what?
36595For what general conclusion can be satisfactory, regarding all these instances of the supernatural?
36595How did he get here?"
36595How was he who had acted escort to reach his own home across the bridge alone?
36595Is n''t that lucky?"
36595Mrs. Jones said she was, as I know, not superstitious, but was it not odd?
36595Much of the old silver was taken out of its wrappings and displayed, and at length Seaton said,"But where are those queer candlesticks?
36595My last inquiry was,''Did you give her anything?''
36595Now the great question was, whose burial could it be?
36595Now was this merely a wonderful coincidence?
36595Seaton said to the butler:"You are certain you have not had these candlesticks out lately?"
36595Such a"superstition"is possibly supposed to be extinct; yet this phenomenon has been witnessed by a friend of mine( need I say of Celtic race?)
36595The ostler looked puzzled and said:"Yes, sir; but what man do you mean?"
36595The other replied,"Hast thou got the cattle?"
36595The question-- and a puzzling one-- is, why should these things occur at all?
36595Then the point was, who was going to die?
36595They were going along as fast as they could, when the woman asked the man,"Dost thou see a light, Tom?"
36595Was it a spirit or the Toili?"
36595When Captain Seaton heard the story he looked very grave and asked,"At which door in the corridor did the lady stop?"
36595Wherein lies the decided element of creepiness contained in my next story?
36595Whimpers and yelps of disappointment from the hounds proclaimed that their prey had escaped, but the question was, how?
36595Why have n''t I heard about her before?"
36595asked the princess,"have you anointed your eyes with the ointment?"

7224On the other hand, he has no incentive to hoard or to grab wealth, for of what use are riches to one whose supply is for ever assured?
7224PREFACE CHAPTER I.--Infinite Life and Power CHAPTER II.--The Overcoming of Life''s Difficulties CHAPTER III.--Fate or Free- Will?
7224Shall we be victorious or shall we be submerged?
7224Shall we overcome life''s difficulties or shall we give in to them?
7224The greatest Teacher of all once said:"For what shall it profit man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
7224The question is, can this be done?
7224Those who have studied the Occult sciences may say"what about planetary influences?"
7224What has all this got to do with practical, everyday life, it may be asked?
7224Why should they have any such desire?
6911Has not her day, too, been one of care, and responsibility, and watchfulness?
6911He is ever watchful of himself in trifles; his standard is not"What will the world say?"
6911How is it that the loving father of one family is taken by death, while the worthless incumbrance of another is spared?
6911Is man, then, the weaker sex that he must be pampered and treated as tenderly as a boil trying to keep from contact with the world?
6911Should we not be at least as careful of ourselves?
6911Why does he abrogate his right to dine and go to the end of the line with the mere feeders?
6911Why is there so much unnecessary pain, sorrowing and suffering in the world-- why, indeed, should there be any?"
6911Why should a woman have to look up with timid glance at the face of her husband, to"size up his mood"?
6911Why this continual swinging of the censer of devotion to the man of business?
6911but"Is it worthy of me?"
8414Again, the depth of a life must be equal, and how do we lack in this?
8414How can we comfort them and point them to the hope of a new endeavor?
8414How often shall we treat an absent patient?
8414Jesus again told this when he said to the man who asked him"What shall I do that I may have eternal life?"
8414Like the Christians of old we do not understand higher relationships, and at last, worn out with disappointment we cry,"Where are the promises?"
8414What makes the difference?
36512_ Mrs. Veal had been, subject to fits, and she asks if Mrs. Bargrave does not think she ismightily impaired by her fits?"
36512And I would also take the liberty to suggest that he should ask the ghost these questions:--"Who''s your tailor?"
36512And also, if a_ goose_ would be frightened if it saw a ghost?
36512And further-- If the Government were applied to, would they"lend the loan"of a proper and fitting building to exhibit the various works in?
36512And out of whose"atmosphere,"or"life sphere"had the spirit made this hand?
36512And then if the ghost of a chimney- sweep were to appear-- and why not the spirit of a sweep as well as anybody else?
36512And then was this spirit_ dressed_ in his best?
36512Are, or can these things be_ spiritual_?
36512Can the believers in ghosts tell us that?
36512Can this be a law or regulation amongst the ghosts?
36512For instance, when Marcellus says to Horatio,"Is it not like the king?"
36512Had they to return to purgatory by themselves-- had the heavy white walking- stick to walk off without its owner?
36512If not, where did they go to?
36512If the cloth is made out of stuff"_ permeated by our wills_"-- And further, if these ghosts are honest, and pay their tailors''bills?
36512Mr. Owen here asks if the mastiff was cataleptic also?
36512Now it will be as well here to inquire what good has ever resulted from this belief in what is commonly understood to be a ghost?
36512Now one naturally asks here, why did not this old ghost go and point the place out to his son himself?
36512One day at dinner he stood up, and said to those present,"Do n''t you see I''m going?"
36512Query, If a horse is not frightened at a ghost, why should dogs be frightened at the sight of them?
36512Query, What did the ghost come for, and was the second husband at all jealous of his coming?
36512Query: How did Mr. H. know that this hand_ was so cold_?
36512Suppose it was a_ spirit hand_, the hand of a soul that once did live on earth, could it be the_ spirit_ of a_ glove_?
36512Then comes my_ clothes test_ again, where did the_ hand_ get the_ glove_?
36512There now, there''s a secret for you-- what do you think of that?
36512Well, some people will say that some little_ comfort_ was needed after so much_ dis_comfort and suffering-- but_ why_, all this suffering?
36512Yes, why should a_ dog_, especially if he is a_ spirited_ dog, do so?
36512[ 6] I should like to ask a question here-- Is Home by spirits lifted, or by"atmosphere?"
36512and had it put the glove on because it felt itself so cold?
36512and how is it that the same spirit can appear in_ several places_ at_ the same instant_?
36512and if CLOTHED, of what those CLOTHES WERE MADE?
36512and what A PAIR OF TOP- BOOTS are made of?
36512and whether these materials are_ spiritualized_ by any process, or whether THE CLOTHES WE WEAR ON OUR BODIES BECOME A PART AND PARCEL OF OUR SOULS?
36512and"Who''s your hatter?"
36512and, further, whether the mutilation of the_ body_ can in any way affect the_ spirit_--the_ soul_?
36512in turning their lights in the direction from which the sounds came, and advancing carefully, they discovered-- what do you think?
36512oh dear!-- Are made in any kind of mould, Or how they trick''em out of our"life sphere?"
46677( 2) What combinations do these elements undergo and what laws govern these combinations?
46677And how is it that just three such pairs of contrasts exist, which we shall call for the sake of shortness the three dimensions of feeling?
46677Are there, we naturally ask at once, psychological principles of similar universal validity?
46677Does it always return in the same quality?
46677For if we ask further, what is this consciousness which psychology investigates?
46677How are we to explain this feeling?
46677Is each of these forms perfectly uniform?
46677Now, how are these combinations constituted, and what laws are they subject to?
46677Or in other words, are the only psychical elements such as we project outwards?
46677Or who has not had experiences such as the following?
46677The next question that immediately presents itself is: Of what kind is the specific content that appears to us in these forms?
46677The problem consists in answering the question that immediately arises, How big is this narrower scope of attention?
46677The question immediately arises: Do these objective elements and complexes form the only content of consciousness?
46677The whole task of psychology can therefore be summed up in these two problems:( 1) What are the elements of consciousness?
46677What do these processes, which we so often meet, although not always in such regular change as in a rhythmical row of beats, consist of?
46677Whence does it come, and how can we explain its transition into the assimilation?
46677Wherein do these two word- combinations differ from each other?
46677Why then should the standpoint of psychology be in absolute contradiction to the stand- points of its most nearly related sciences?
46677pleasure and displeasure,& c.?
4611But supposing it can not find any?
4611But that must happen very often?
4611Did you ever see such a brute as P-- looked?
4611How did you guess I was thinking of that?
4611In time for what?
4611What do you have for luncheon?
4611What is the matter?
4611What sort of apprehensions?
4611''But, Mother, what is it like?''
4611Are we to hold ourselves in, to check the impulses of affection, to use self- restraint, not multiply intimacies, not extend sympathies?
4611But if one is not capable of going to such lengths, if indeed one has nothing that one can resign, how is it possible to practise simplicity of life?
4611But of what?
4611Can you understand anything of this?
4611Do you know where you are?
4611How shall I keep well?''
4611It is the instinct which, in spite of all knowledge and experience, says suddenly, in a moment like that,"Well, what then?"
4611Ought one to feel that this kind of jealous absorption in a single individual affection is a mistake?
4611Then said Joseph,''Mother, what is it?''
4611Was ever the last fear put into such simple and poignant words as in the above letter?
4611Well then, what do I wish about all that?
4611What is there that is wrong with all this?
4611What then are we to believe about the punishment of our sins?
4611What then is our practical way of escape from the dominion of these shadows?
4611What was wrong with me?
4611Who can say of what old inheritance of fear that horror of the great ape- like countenance was the sign?
4611Why did I so behave?
4611there is no one can harm you; of what are you apprehensive?
47506Are there real fairies to be met with there?
47506Did you see them come?
47506Do you think shadows, etc., can explain it? 47506 Now, what_ are_ the fairies?
47506What can we make of it all? 47506 And the girl''s hand? 47506 And who were you speaking to just now in the yard?'' 47506 Apropos, would a faker, clever enough to produce such a photograph, commit the elementary blunder of not posing his subject?
47506But if pipes, why not everything else?
47506But supposing that they actually do exist, what_ are_ these creatures?
47506But why does he believe it?
47506By kind permission I reproduce the article: DO FAIRIES EXIST?
47506Can these be thought- forms?
47506Does it not suggest a complete range of utensils and instruments for their own life?
47506How can you be sure that yours are not so also?"
47506I glanced at Turvey to see if he saw anything, and whispered,''Do you see them?''
47506If horses, why not dogs?
47506It told of a curious sequence of events in Yorkshire, and ran as follows:"Are there real fairies in the land to- day?
47506One may well ask what connection has this fairy- lore with the general scheme of psychic philosophy?
47506What are they?
47506What do you think of this?
47506What have you seen?
47506What is the mirage of the desert?
47506When Columbus knelt in prayer upon the edge of America, what prophetic eye saw all that a new continent might do to affect the destinies of the world?
47506Wherever did it come from?"
47506Which is the harder of belief, the faking of a photograph or the objective existence of winged beings eighteen inches high?
47506Will you please excuse my mentioning a few domestic details connected with the story?
47506Would it be too long to wait until then, when we could explain what we know about it?
47506what is this?''
31511Hath shee done it?
31511Old Alice[ Norrington?]
31511Was this woman fitting to live?... 31511 You have foure Imps, have you not?
31511''Did you not send such an Impe to kill my child''?
31511''Yes''....''Are not their names so and so''?

31511And the keeper of the wardrobe, what was the part that he played?
31511And was I not there enjoyned by a necessity to the discoverie of this Brood?"
31511And why?
31511And, supposing these narratives were true, would they prove anything?
31511But is it not possible to believe that the social grouping of these men had an influence?
31511But what were the rector of Stanford Rivers and the keeper of the great wardrobe doing there?
31511But why go into details?
31511But why should we trace out the confessions, charges, and counter- charges that followed?
31511Can we doubt that their decisions were influenced by that fact?
31511Did he write soon after the events, when they were fresh in his memory?
31511Did that detection of fraud never occur to the judges, or had they never heard of the famous boy at Bilston?
31511Did the pamphleteer himself hear and see what he recorded, or was his account at second hand?
31511Did the parties that were said to have been killed by witchcraft really die at the times specified?
31511Does his narrative seem to be that of a painstaking, careful man or otherwise?
31511Given a personal Devil who is constantly intriguing against the kingdom of God( and who would then have dared to deny such a premise?
31511Had Doctor Cole been appointed in recognition of the claims of the church?
31511Had her sister perhaps suggested that the justice was offering mercy to those who confessed?
31511How are we to account for these phenomena?
31511How did it happen that just at this particular time so drastic a measure was passed and put into operation?
31511How was it known that she went half a mile?
31511How, then, were real cases of bewitchment to be recognized?
31511I?
31511I?
31511If this were true, what would become of all those bulwarks of religion furnished by the wonders of witchcraft?
31511Is it not likely that there were in England itself certain peculiar conditions, certain special circumstances, that served to forward the attack?
31511Is this the Joan Baker of Exeter mentioned a few lines above?
31511Katherine Earle struck a Mr. Frank between the shoulders and said,"You are a pretty gentleman; will you kisse me?"
31511Mrs. Crosse had once kept a girls''school-- could it be that there was some connection between teaching and witchcraft?
31511Now, the problem that arose at once was this: How can the souls of witches leave their bodies?
31511Or did the assize courts, which resumed their proceedings in the summer of 1646, frown upon him?
31511Or was he meeting with increased opposition among the people?
31511Shall we, they asked, discredit all human testimony?
31511That, of course, he was not; and his leaning towards superstition on these points makes one ask, What did he really believe about witchcraft?
31511The Tryal, Examinations, and Confession... before the Lord Chief Baron Wild.... By James[ Edmond?]
31511The attorney then asked,"When dyd thye Cat suck of thy bloud?"
31511The practical question is, not how would the law operate, but how did it operate?
31511The question naturally arises, What was the occasion of this law?
31511Then arose the problem: How does this process differ from death?
31511This brings us back to the point: What had the conjurers to do with witchcraft?
31511Was it because the men of the law possessed more of the matter- of- factness supposed to be a heritage of every Englishman?
31511Was it because their special training gave them a saner outlook?
31511Was it not their province to overcome the machinations of the black witches, that is, witches who wrought evil rather than good?
31511Was the attorney- general acting as presiding officer, or was he conducting the prosecution?
31511Was there a falling off in interest?
31511Was this the Christiana Weekes of Cleves Pepper, Wilts, who in 1651 and 1654 was again and again accused of telling where lost goods were?
31511Well neighbour, sayth one, do ye not suspect some naughty dealing: did yee never anger mother W?
31511Were they harmless beings with malevolent minds?
31511Were they not good witches?
31511What is witchcraft?
31511What was the nature of the delusion seemingly shared by eight people?
31511What was to be done with it?
31511What was to be done with the witches?
31511What were these witches, then?
31511When all the fraud and false testimony and self- deception were excluded, what about the remaining cases of witchcraft?
31511Who knew that it was seven minutes?
31511Why did they leave out the very essential of the witch- monger''s lore?
31511Why did they not speak at all of the compacts between the Devil and witches?
31511Would he have stood by this when pushed into a corner?
31511[ 17] Can we wonder that a student at such pains to discover the fact as to a wrong done should have used barbed words in the portrayal of injustice?

31511[ 50] What, then, were they?
36908'', I can only answer by asking,''Where is this"public opinion"and what does it look like?''
36908''And, David,( is not that your Christian name?)
36908''Well, of course, if you deceive the spirits like that how can you expect the truth in return?''
36908''What dug- out, sir?''
36908( Feda(_ sotto voce_): Did he hop, Raymond?)
36908( N. M. L. asks):''Play what?''
36908( No bite)--Georgina?
36908A delightful example of Sir Oliver''s anxiety to help the medium occurs on page 256:-- O. J. L.:''Do you remember a bird in our garden?''
36908And any voice?
36908At a London séance on December 20th, 1915, with the same medium there occurs the following:--( Question):''What used he to sing?''
36908At this she asked,''Which one?''
36908At this stage he was told,''You felt like that in France, what was it?''
36908But when I showed this spirit photograph to a friend, with a query as to sex, she answered,''But it_ is_ a woman, is n''t it?
36908Can we voluntarily forget?
36908Did you even know you were shifting it?
36908Did you think,''My leg is beginning to feel tired, I''ll shift it?''
36908Do you see Papa?"
36908Friends had told me of his gifts and had met my incredulity with''How do you explain this?''
36908He is which had reached England?
36908Here are the important ones:-- O. J. L.:''Do you recollect the photograph at all?''
36908How did the word come to be selected?
36908How did this joint error of observation arise?
36908I can not answer either except by putting a new one, which is,''Do we ever forget?''
36908I mean was he standing up?''
36908I wonder how Mr. Carrington explains the failure of previous observers to detect the trickery?
36908If by that is meant,''Can we voluntarily lose the power of voluntary recall?''
36908If one asks,''Where is this unconscious and what does it look like?
36908If we specify the factors concerned in memory and say that it depends upon impression, retention, and recall, then what do we mean by''forgetting''?
36908In the early stage of the disease some one examines the arm, pricks it, and asks,''Do you feel that?''
36908In the one place the old countryman said,"How can he get water there?
36908Instead of this the procedure was:''I hear a name, is it George?
36908Later on his chief asks him,''How did you spot this case?''
36908Next a yacht appears out of the spirit world, and O. J. L. asks:''What about the yacht with sails, did it run on the water?''
36908Not yet?
36908O. J. L.''Did it go along?''
36908O. J. L.:''Did he have a stick?''
36908O. J. L.:''Does he remember how he looked in the photograph?''
36908O. J. L.:''Was it out of doors?''
36908She was a stranger to the photographer, so how could he produce the likeness even if he substituted his own plates?
36908Surely an out- of- door family like this includes at least one fisherman; why not think out who he is and score another bull''s- eye to the medium?
36908The first question was,''Who is Brown?''
36908The question is taken by the patient to mean that the doctor expects that the prick will not be felt-- or why should he ask?
36908The second question may be compared with''Did you feel that?''
36908Then begins his conflict; like the patient who successfully feigns symptoms, he finds withdrawal difficult:--''You''d prove firmer in his place?
36908Then, the medium having discovered that O. J. L.''s family had a tent by the water, O. J. L. asks:''Is it all one chamber in the tent?''
36908What are two failures against three and a half years''manifestations that''had grown more and more numerous and bewildering as time went on''?
36908What can be more authoritative and confident than the manner of a man who believes what he says and knows that his hearers are willing to believe?
36908What could be more convincing?
36908What does it effect?
36908What has been happening all this time in the mind of the patient?
36908When Sir Oliver asks concerning a yacht,''Did it run on the water?''
36908Whence does he obtain his evidence that the medium had heard nothing of the incident?
36908While a light whisked"..."Shaped somewhat like a star?
36908Who can say that, in the days when Home- Rulers and anti- Home- Rulers abounded, the average voter was swayed by a reasoned knowledge of the subject?
36908You mean yes, do n''t you?''
36908[ Illustration] How can we explain this belief on the one hand and the trickery on the other?
38590Am I, then, in danger from them?
38590Am I, too, a Sensitive?
38590And how,I asked,"may we discern the Astrals from the higher spirits?"
38590And if not Five?
38590And why so,she asked,"since, if you have them, they are for the learning of others likewise?
38590But even this may be hard to find, and if you should not meet with Three, what then will you do?
38590But if you find not Seven?
38590Concerning memory; why should there any more be a difficulty in respect of it? 38590 Do they, then,"I asked,"come from within the man?"
38590Do you, then,I asked,"desire the whole world to abandon the use of fire in preparing food and drink?"
38590How can you have the answer before I have written it?
38590Humanity has always and everywhere asked itself these three supreme questions: Whence come we? 38590 Why will you have Adam to be spirit, and Eve matter, since the mystic books deal only with spiritual entities?
38590''If thou understood not earthly things, how shall I make thee understand heavenly things?''
38590''Why callest thou me?
38590--Instantaneous transfer of inspiration--"Woman, what have I to do with thee?"
38590And I said,''Lord, if the darkness in one of these stars be caused by the darkness in its fellow, which of them was first darkened?''
38590And how shall it remain except it be purely spiritual; since, when matter ceases, it would then be no longer comprehensible?"
38590But he who sat next the last speaker answered,"Truth also is partial; for where is he among us who shall be able to see as God sees?"
38590Can such an one, think you, be vain- glorious or self- exalted, and lifted up?
38590For how shall it respond to that which is above all, if it respond not to that which is nearest?''
38590Had not even Jesus Himself been"crucified through weakness"?
38590How shall we understand this word''perfection''?"
38590I say not, let it suffice; it is better to know all things, for if you know not all, how can you judge all?
38590Is it not said that the immaculate woman brings forth without a pang?
38590Is there anything strong?
38590Is there anything sublime?
38590Is there anything wise?
38590It is like an emerald?
38590It was by will that Thou createdst, by will alone, not by love, was it not?--was it not?
38590It was true that they had both prophets and prophetesses, but did they work like us in supplement and complement of each other?
38590Might it not be, then, that it was my own spirit who knew them and gave them to her, finding her more sensitive to impression than myself?
38590O my God, my God, why didst Thou create?
38590O wretched man; who shall deliver you from this body of Death?
38590Shall I let him?"
38590Then he saw the angel, and said to him,"Brother, what doest thou here?
38590Then, the man being come up to us, Jesus took him by the hand and said,"What readest thou?"
38590They present a body of doctrine at once complete, homogeneous, logical and inexpugnable, in which the three supreme questions, Whence come we?
38590To her enquiry,"Can I never overcome this evil prognostic?"
38590To which she replied, smiling, that she had known it for some time, but which of her names did I mean?
38590Were the prophets, then, shedders of blood?
38590What are we?
38590What are we?
38590What can be the meaning of the general move among these self- appointed censors of morals?
38590What is it?
38590What, then, I asked myself, was the foremost moral need for the instruments of such a work?
38590What, then, is idolatry, and what are false gods?
38590Where is he among us who could attain to such a state?
38590Wherefore, indeed, said our Lord to our Lady:--"Woman, what is between me and thee?
38590Wherefore, then, saith the Lord that the budding of the Fig- Tree shall foretell the end?
38590Whither go we?
38590Whither go we?
38590Who is he who can part with his goods without regret?
38590Who is he who is never consumed by the desires of the flesh?
38590Who or what, then, is this moon?
38590Who shall attain to this perfection?
38590Why comest Thou not to lead the perfect life, and to save the world as woman?
38590Why is this?
38590Will Cain and Caiaphas still have the dominion, and ecclesiasticism be as ready to crucify the Christ on His second coming as it was on His first?
38590Will you not rather communicate these saving truths to thirsty souls?"
38590Will you therefore be regenerate in the without, as well as in the within?
38590Wo n''t you wait for me?"
38590a sapphire?
38590and what is its nature?
38590how am I to send the answer?
38590why didst Thou create this stupendous existence?
45362And how did you get in?
45362Are you?
45362D''ye say so? 45362 Had he any clothes on?
45362Pretty well, thank ye,says he,"but pray, how do you know my name?"
45362What''s that?
45362Wo n''t ye? 45362 ''What ails thee, sepulchre? 45362 --Charles, what would thou do with me?'' 45362 A voice was then heard in the gloom asking in a strange intonation,What is wanted?"
45362An amusing anecdote illustrative of this belief was related by the daughter of''the celebrated Mrs. S.''[ Siddons?]
45362And I replied,''Why?''
45362And I said,''Father, shall I pray for you?''
45362Doth the earth press, or the black stone weigh on thee heavily?''
45362Elizabeth of Hungary, being on the point of expiring, said to those around him,"Do you see those doves more white than snow?"
45362He also asks,"Art thou satisfied?"
45362Mr. and Mrs. S---- coming in suddenly one day, heard her cry out,''Are you there again?
45362Says the ghost,"Well, Tommy, how are ye?"
45362The last point the old man quoted as at once settling the question,''How could I be mistaken?
45362The late Charles Kingsley, in his''Yeast,''asks,''Who are the knockers?''
45362Then I said,''Where are all our fathers who did like to him?''
45362What sound is that comes from afar?
45362Whence comes it?
45362Who comes here?
45362Who knoweth whether God will permit the persons, who have thus confederated, to appear in the world again after their death?
45362Why thus so deeply groan and sigh?
45362and if so, what were they like?"
45362are ye sleeping, Margaret?''
45362he says,''Or are ye waking presentlie?
45362what is that?"
45362who comes here?''
41892Surely this takes the matter away from Mental Action, does n''t it?
41892What,you may cry,"Mind and Mentation in the mineral and chemical world-- surely not?"
41892Why,some of us may cry,"how can we go back of the Atom, or Electron?"
41892_ What_ Force and Energy?
41892And as Thought is produced by Mind causing vibrations in the Psychoplasm, why is not the Astral Colors reasonable?
41892And does it not explain why Gravitation is not affected in its"passage"by intervening bodies?
41892And does not seem that this theory also explains why no medium is required for the"travel"of Gravitation?
41892And in thus parting company, reader, let us murmur the words of the German poet, who has sung:"Dost thou ask for rest?
41892And should not the medium between Mind and Mind be looked for in the Mental Region?
41892And, have n''t we seen that both Electricity and Magnetism were Mental Actions also?
41892But what about Mentation and Life in the plant life?
41892Do these things mean anything to the"Man of the Street?"
41892Do you desire to come in with us?
41892Do you realize what this means?
41892Do you want to get the cream of Success-- thought?
41892Do you want to join our circle of thousands of Success readers?
41892Does it not appear that they exhibit something very like both?
41892Does it take a wild flight of the imagination to see that this Something, that is not Matter, and nor Force,_ must be a manifestation of Mind_?
41892Does not the process of crystallization look like rudimentary purposive action?
41892Does not this seem reasonable?
41892He says:"Is it not a patent fact, obvious to all but the wilfully blind that_ matter does think_?
41892How can Mind conduct Radiant Energy?
41892How do the Atoms attract each other and move together?
41892If so, wherefore?
41892Is it a worthy exchange?
41892Is it not more reasonable to think of it as a form of vital- action-- life- action?
41892Is it too daring a conception to hazard the thought that perhaps the Universe itself is_ the result of the Dynamic Thought of The Infinite_?
41892Is not this strong enough?
41892Nothing"dead"about this, is there?
41892Now is it reasonable to suppose that this wonderful"power"is a mere blind- force?
41892Now, do we find it there?
41892Passing_ how_?
41892Perhaps it would be as well to begin by asking ourselves the question:"What is Substance?"
41892Should not the explanation for Mental Effects be sought in a Mental Cause?
41892The movement is ever forward, and upward-- what matter the banner under which the armies move?
41892There is an evidence of Force and Energy here that is not Heat, Light or Electricity-- what is it?
41892There is no_ material_ connection between them( and Electricity and Magnetism will not answer), so what is to be done?
41892Well, that looks like a degree of Mentation, does n''t it?
41892Were these things merely minerals or chemical- substances, or were they low forms of organic life?
41892What can we offer him as an illustration?
41892What is"Inherent?"
41892When a rose throws off its perfume, it emanates tiny particles of itself-- can you measure or weigh the molecules composing that odor?
41892When you handle a coin, an infinitesimal portion of it is worn off-- can you figure the size of the molecules composing that part?
41892_ Have n''t we?_ Then how about two pieces of magnetised steel, or two electrified substances?
41892_ Have n''t we?_ Then how about two pieces of magnetised steel, or two electrified substances?
41892_ What is being produced?_ The imagination can not conceive of what this state of Substance, now being reached, is like.
41892_ What is the Force used?_ Science admits the existence of this Force, and calls it"Nervous Energy,"or"Nerve Force."
41892_ Why, different?_ Is n''t_ the bond intangible_?
41892_ Why, different?_ Is n''t_ the bond intangible_?

12674Are the sounds in Haunted Houses real or hallucinatory?
12674Being asked why she had always withdrawn before, she said she had seen''like a boyn( halo?)
12674But this evidence is in itself a fact to be considered--''Why do these gentlemen tell this tale?''

12674Do impostors and credulous persons deliberately''get up''the subject in rare old books?
12674Do the expenses of exorcism fall on landlord or tenant?
12674Does Mr. Sully believe that the portrait was an original portrait of a real person?

12674He asks, among other things: How can gods, as in the evocations of gods, be made subject to necessity, and_ compelled_ to manifest themselves?
12674He would ask:''Does M. Littre accept the alleged facts; if so, how does he explain them?''
12674How did his Zulu learn the method of Home, of the Egyptian diviners, of St. Joseph of Cupertino?
12674How do''expectancy''and the''dominant idea''explain this experience, which Mr. Aide has published in the Nineteenth Century?
12674How does a demon differ from a hero, or from a mere soul of a dead man?
12674How is the identity of the spirit to be established?
12674How is the inquirer, how was Porphyry to know that the assertion is correct, that it is not the mere''boasting''of some vulgar spirit?
12674I have been at a loss ever since what to make of this last,''says Patrick Walker, and who is not at a loss?
12674In either case, what causes the hallucination, or are there various possible sorts of causes?
12674In what sorts of periods, in what conditions of general thought and belief, are the alleged abnormal phenomena most current?
12674Is it a disease of observation?
12674Is it not the business of the owner of the house to''whustle on his ain parten,''to have his own bogie exorcised?
12674Is there a method of imposture handed down by one generation of bad little girls to another?
12674Is there such a thing as persistent identity of hallucination among the sane?
12674It is suggested that Graime himself was the murderer, else, how did he know so much about it?
12674Now, could a hallucination lift a mosquito- curtain, or even produce the impression that it did so, while the curtain was really unmoved?
12674Now, had the peay tradition reached Cock Lane, or was the peay- man counterfeiting, very cleverly, some real phenomenon?

12674On the night of Lindsay''s death, Pitcairn dreamed that he was in Edinburgh, where Lindsay met him and said,''Archie, perhaps ye heard I''m dead?''
12674On the other hand, if Reginald Scot asked today,''Who heareth the noises, who seeth the visions?''
12674On this turned the fate of Joan of Arc: Were her voices and visions of God or of Satan?
12674Or are demons in some way evolved out of something abstracted from living bodies?
12674Or are there certain mystic correspondences in the nature of things, which may be detected?
12674Or, if we disbelieve this cloud of witnesses, if they voluntarily fabled, we ask, why do they all fable in exactly the same fashion?
12674Saint or sorcerer?
12674So far, everybody is agreed: the differences begin when we ask what causes hallucinations, and what different classes of hallucinations exist?
12674That is simple, but why are sane, scientific, modern observers, and even disgusted modern sceptics, in a tale, and that just the old savage tale?
12674The neighbours make the noises, and again the narrator asks''how?''
12674The question was, did an indicator move, or not, under a certain amount of pressure?

12674Thyraeus now raises the difficult question:''Are the sounds heard in haunted houses real, or hallucinatory?''
12674To the friends of a force or faculty in our nature, M. Littre remarks, in effect,''Why do n''t you_ use_ your force?
12674Vincent?''
12674Was he well?
12674Was there any coincidence between the hallucination and facts at the time unknown to you?

12674{ 319b} Perhaps the unscientific reader supposes that Dr. Carpenter replied to the arguments of M. de Gasparin?
12674{ 65b} How do you discriminate between demons, and gods, that are manifest, or not manifest?

54814Their weight?
54814Allow him to give one quick glance at the picture and then see whether he can recall definitely just how many persons were in the picture?
54814Any animal?

54814How many can tell the different trees by name?

22814After all,they argued,"did n''t I go to a hypnotist especially to be hypnotized?"
22814But,you may say,"how can I expect greater results when I have n''t achieved self- hypnosis?"
22814A feature by Ernest Havemann in the August 8, 1960 issue of_ Life_ contains a very worthwhile article on this conference called"Who''s Normal?
22814Actually, what could take less effort?
22814After all, is n''t he controlling the hypnotic session?
22814After all, they ask, had n''t they been willing subjects?
22814After explaining this technique to students, many have inquired,"Is that all there is to it?
22814And has n''t the person convinced himself of the validity of his present state?
22814Another frequent question is:"How do I arouse myself from the self- hypnotic state?"
22814Are n''t these books really talking about self- hypnosis?
22814Are n''t they describing precisely the techniques of self- hypnosis?
22814Are n''t they once again really talking about the subconscious mind?
22814Are n''t we all convinced that a name- brand article is better than one that is not so well- known?
22814Are n''t we all, as we have seen, influenced by the suggestions of advertising?
22814Are n''t your reactions automatic to the following terms: democratic party, republican party, communist party, mother, father, movie star?
22814Are you not really interested in the end result and not the means?
22814But what happened to many of these malingerers after they were released from the service?
22814Chapter 2 What About the Dangers of Hypnosis?
22814Chapter 4 How Does Self- Hypnosis Work?
22814Did n''t they trust me?
22814Did the circle become larger and larger?
22814Did the object begin turning to the right following the numbers?
22814Did you enjoy reading this book?
22814Did you think both were the same?
22814Do n''t many people carry or wear good- luck charms of a religious or nonreligious nature?
22814Do n''t we accept these items in our society?
22814Do n''t we all have a tendency to believe what we read in the paper, hear on the radio or see on television?
22814Do n''t we frequently put our arm around a friend in grief trying to comfort him?
22814Do n''t we generally become hungry if someone tells us it''s noon and time for lunch when, in fact, it''s only 11 o''clock?
22814Does it work?
22814Does n''t he usually begin by requesting the subject to fix his attention on a particular object?
22814Does n''t the hypnotist begin by suggesting relaxation?
22814Does n''t the stage hypnotist work with glaring lights?
22814Does this sound incredible?
22814Does this story sound incredible?
22814Furthermore, how much effort is really made to get the patient off the sleeping pills?
22814HOW DOES SELF- HYPNOSIS WORK?
22814Have n''t you noticed that when you are happy or extremely interested in something, time passes quickly?
22814Have n''t you thought you heard the phone ring when you were waiting for a call?
22814Have you ever tried to make your mind a blank?
22814How and why does it happen?
22814How can you account for it?
22814How permanent is most medical treatment?
22814How would you account for it?
22814IS HYPNOSIS THE ANSWER?
22814If applicable to your situation, have you incorporated this idea in your daily life?
22814If they do n''t get the results they anticipated immediately, they want to know"what''s wrong?"
22814Is n''t such an individual, in effect, using self- hypnosis?
22814Is n''t this exactly the same procedure that the dentist uses with his patient when he has hypnotized him for the purpose of painless dentistry?
22814Is there a chapter that could serve as a theme for an entire book?
22814Is there this type of help in your own community?
22814It is like asking,"What am I doing that''s wrong?"
22814It is:"Are the suggestions that I give myself as effective as the ones you would give me in hetero- hypnosis?"
22814Line AB or line CD?
22814My answer is,"What if you are?"
22814One question that arises is:"If I''m under hypnosis, how can I give myself suggestions?"
22814Remember how slowly time goes when you are not interested in what you are doing and how fast it speeds by when you are?
22814Should you give up in despair, or is there still hope for you?
22814Soc., 1960, 31:101- 106 Chapter 3 Is Hypnosis the Answer?
22814The following paragraph is taken from the_ Life_ article:"What about psychiatry and psychoanalysis?
22814The individual thinks,"If I''m asleep, how can I awaken myself?"
22814The reason for this is to alleviate whatever anxiety you may have in regard to the question,"If I''m hypnotized, how do I awaken myself?"
22814The response and image keep changing, do n''t they?
22814WHAT ABOUT THE DANGERS OF HYPNOSIS?
22814Was it because she was a better hypnotist?
22814We are all sophisticated enough to know that they do not have an intrinsic value, but do n''t they do something for our mental attitude?
22814What about the often- quoted statement that"you might do some damage"?
22814What about the people helped?
22814What are they really saying, and what does hypnosis represent to such an individual?
22814What can you learn by the example just presented?
22814What does this mean specifically to you if you are having difficulty learning self- hypnosis?
22814What happens in this situation?
22814What happens then?
22814What happens?
22814What idea in the book impressed you the most?
22814What if you purposely set about doing the same thing in your attempt to achieve self- hypnosis?
22814What is lost by doing it?
22814What is that formula?
22814What is the solution?
22814What then is the objection to hypnosis?
22814What would you say about the suggestibility of a person who does n''t want to talk about hypnosis?
22814What''s wrong?
22814What, then, is the answer to mental health problems?
22814When asking the female child,"Whose girl are you?
22814When asking the male child,"Whose boy are you?
22814When he returns next week, I ask him,"How did you feel during the week?"
22814When the subject does n''t awaken, I merely ask him in a calm manner,"Why do n''t you wish to wake up?
22814Which one of the two lines drawn on this page is longer?
22814Who among us is not influenced by suggestion?
22814Who is to help these people?
22814Why the impasse?
22814Why?
22814Would n''t it have been easier to duck under all at once?
22814Would you believe this person is a potentially good hypnotic subject?
22814Would you enjoy reading another similar book?
22814Would you let me stick you with the pin?
22814Would you say that lines AB and CD were perfectly straight?
22814You might ask,"Ca n''t you tell when someone is faking?"
22814[ Illustration] What is your answer?
22814instead of"What can I do that''s right?"
55082ARE YOU TO BE LUCKY?
55082But, when the two ways give different numbers, what?
55082CRYSTAL GAZING Before we start this chapter, will you just take a look at the following short list of terms used in crystal gazing and spiritualism?
55082Does one disprove the other?

55082HAVE YOU A TALISMAN?
55082Have you never had a presentiment or feeling of evil to come, a strong feeling which it took all your determination and common sense to drive away?
55082If you have no preferences, why not constitute a device which embraces your lucky number, your lucky flower, your lucky color, and so on?
55082Love in a cottage is all very well-- but how when the roof leaks?

55082What of all those individuals who wear glasses?
55082What then?
55082Which seems very natural, does n''t it?
55082Why should not you find out how to read the signs of your own future and the future of your friends?
55082Why should not you learn the rudiments of fortunetelling yourself?
23559Are we not all children of one Father?
23559As big as this?
23559As big as this?
23559But suppose one is in delicate health, or especially subject to drafts?
23559How big is your sea?
23559How do we know,was the reply,"that he is not witnessing it all?
23559How much bigger, then?
23559How then can you describe so accurately the disease with which he is afflicted?
23559May it not be good policy,says one,"to be governed sometimes by one''s surroundings?"
23559The sea? 23559 Where are you going?"
23559Who are you? 23559 A Brahmin or a Buddhist asks,Are not the Vedas inspired?"
23559A Christian asks,"But is not our Christian Bible inspired?"
23559And here shall we consider a few facts in connection with sleep, in connection with receiving instruction and illumination while asleep?
23559And how can one find his centre?
23559And how could it be otherwise?
23559And how could it do otherwise?
23559And how will you do it?
23559And what do we mean by the unseen side of life?
23559And what does this mean?
23559And what is a God- man?
23559And what is the result of this particular form of violation?
23559And why should not the power of effecting such cures exist among us today?
23559And why should we go to another for knowledge and wisdom?
23559And why should we not have the power today, the same as they had it then?
23559And would you have in your body all the elasticity, all the strength, all the beauty of your younger years?
23559And, truly,"are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation?"
23559Another who is a Buddhist asks,"Was not Buddha inspired?"
23559Are the laws at all different?
23559Are we not satisfied with whatever comes into our lives?
23559Are you a minister, or a religious teacher of any kind?
23559Are you a painter?
23559Are you a singer?
23559Are you a writer?
23559Are you an orator?
23559Are you out of a situation?
23559But some one says,"May it not be dangerous for us to act always upon our intuitions?
23559But why had not Pharaoh the power of interpreting his dreams?
23559Can anything be clearer than this?

23559Do you know the circumstances under which Mr. Sankey sang for the first time"The Ninety and Nine?"
23559Do you want to be a power in the world?
23559Does this mean that we must literally betake ourselves to a private closet with a key in the door?
23559Does this or that occurrence or condition cause you annoyance?
23559For what, let us ask, is a miracle?
23559He looked at me in surprise and said,"Why, you do not know my father?"
23559His question almost invariably was,"Dost thou believe?"
23559How can anything die before it is really born?
23559I am sometimes asked,"To what religion do you belong?"
23559I hear the question, What can be said in a concrete way in regard to the method of coming into this realization?
23559If this is true of a beast, what can we say of its power upon human beings, especially upon a child?
23559If this is true, does it not then follow that in the degree that man opens himself to this divine inflow does he approach to God?
23559In this do we not see a complete parallel so far as human life is concerned?
23559In this light is it not then evident that both conceptions are true?
23559Is it something supernatural?
23559It was Goethe who said:"Are you in earnest?
23559No?
23559One who does n''t grasp this great truth, a Christian, for example, asks"But was not Christ inspired?"
23559Patriotism is a beautiful thing; it is well for me to love my country, but why should I love my own country more than I love all others?
23559Religion dying out?
23559Religion dying out?
23559Said the young man, Jesus, Know ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?
23559Say not Lo here nor lo there, know ye not that the kingdom of heaven is within you?
23559Suppose we should have an intuition to do harm to some one?"
23559The Hindu has said,"The narrow minded ask,''Is this man a stranger, or is he of our tribe?''
23559We sometimes hear the question asked,"Can they be overcome?"
23559What is good policy?
23559What is that?
23559What religion?
23559Where do you live?"
23559Where is that?"
23559Which is right?
23559Who has ever appointed any man, whoever he may be, as the keeper, the custodian, the dispenser of God''s illimitable truth?
23559Who is my mother and who are my brethren?
23559Why are you powerless to move?
23559Why did he not only dream, but had also the power to interpret both his own dreams and the dreams of others?
23559Why do you tremble?
23559Why is it?
23559Why not go directly to the mountain top itself, instead of wandering through the by- ways, in the valleys, and on the mountain sides?
23559Why should we not go direct to the Infinite Source itself?
23559Why should we seek these things second hand?
23559Why should we thus stultify our own innate powers?
23559Why was Joseph the type of the"truly gifted seer?"
23559Why waste time with this practice or that practice?
23559Why, then, waste time in running hither and thither to acquire power?
23559Why, then?
23559Why?
23559Will you?
23559Would you remain always young, and would you carry all the joyousness and buoyancy of youth into your maturer years?
23559and more, that he is not having a hand in it all,--a hand even greater, perhaps, than when we_ saw_ him here?"
23559and more, that they are one and the same?
21077And what share remains to it in all these phenomena, from which it seems we are endeavouring to oust it?
21077And, in fact, what does conception by itself give?
21077Are they identical?
21077Are we here making use of the argument of common opinion of mankind, of which ancient philosophy made so evident an abuse?
21077But can we subject the mental process of perception to the same purification?
21077But does it follow that every degree, every shade, every detail of sensation, even the most insignificant, has any importance for the action?
21077But how can all these laws be called physical laws without running the risk of confusing them one with the other?]
21077But how can the immense meaning of the word"mind"be realised every time that it is used?
21077But how can we conceive the transformation of this convolution into a semi- material phenomenon?
21077But how could this analysis be made?
21077But then what remains of the dualism of mind and matter?
21077But then, whence comes it that I think I feel a sensation when my sensory nerve is touched?
21077But what is identity?
21077But who can exhibit this proof to the contrary?
21077But who could make up his mind thus to shut himself up in perception?
21077But will it be asserted that it is always deceived?
21077By what means, have they long asked themselves, can that which is only extent act on that which is only thought?
21077Can any material combination be found which corresponds thereto?
21077Can it survive the death of the brain?
21077Can sensation exist as physical expression, as an object; without being illuminated by the consciousness?
21077Can the consciousness exist without having an object?
21077Can the consciousness then continue to exist?
21077Can the mind enjoy an existence independent of the brain?
21077Can we go further, and suppose one of the parts thus analysed capable of existing without the other?
21077Do not desire and consciousness together represent a something which does not belong to the physical domain and which forms the moral world?
21077Do the consciousness and its object form two things or only one?
21077Does it belong to the domain of physical or of moral things?
21077Does it develop according to laws of its own, which have no relation to the laws of brain action?
21077Does it exercise any action on the centrifugal currents which go to the motor nerves?
21077Does it exercise any action on these intra- cerebral functions?
21077Does it form a new group?
21077Does not this occur daily?
21077Does not, for instance, desire represent a complement of the consciousness?
21077Every musical ear performs this operation easily; now, this fourth sound, what else is it but the fourth term in a rule of three?
21077For is not conception the contrary of perception?
21077How can it be conceived without supposing resemblance, of which it is but a form?
21077How can we comprehend that there should issue from this convolution the material object of a perception-- for example, a plain dotted with houses?
21077How can we doubt, we say, that it exists?
21077How can we represent to ourselves this_ local_ union of matter with an immaterial principle, which, by its essence, does not exist in space?
21077How could our two perceptions be similar?
21077How could they be the same?
21077How is it that the nerve wave, if it be the depository of the whole of the physical properties perceived in the object, resembles it so little?
21077How, then, can the one be explained by the other?
21077How, then, could they experience the same sensation?
21077In what measure is it separable from the object?
21077Is it a relation of cause to effect, of genesis?
21077Is it a state of matter or of mind?
21077Is it capable of exciting a movement?
21077Is it possible to make, or at least to imagine, such an analysis?
21077Is the converse possible?
21077Is this impression now of a physical or a mental nature?
21077Is this relation constant or necessary?
21077Is what one perceives true?
21077It is said, for example: how can it be perceived that two sensations are successive, if we do not already possess the idea of time?
21077Might not this continuous existence of objects during the eclipses of our acts of consciousness, be demonstrated?
21077Now, how can we know if this act of consciousness, by adding itself to the object, modifies it and causes it to appear other than it is?
21077Once acquainted with all these possibilities of errors, how can we suppose a radical separation between the sensation and the image?
21077Or that we can consider an object under two different aspects?
21077Shall we go so far as to believe that this is an illegitimate mode of cognition?
21077Since our cognition can not go beyond sensation, shall we first recall what meaning can be given to an explanation of the inmost nature of matter?
21077Since so many divisions are possible, at which shall we stop and say: this is the one which corresponds exactly to the opposition of mind and matter?
21077This may be represented, or may be thought; but can it be realised?
21077Thus defined and slightly condensed, what is sensation?
21077Unless we accept them, how is it comprehensible that we can know anything whatever of physical nature?
21077WHAT is ELECTRICITY?
21077What are the arguments on which I rely?
21077What importance can this have, since all the difference depends on the position occupied by the excitant?
21077What is capable of representation exists as a representation, but is it true?
21077What is its action on the material phenomena of the brain which surround it?
21077What is the nature of the link between them?
21077What is the subject of cognition?
21077What is the use of the memory?
21077What is this sensation?
21077What kind of reality do physicists then allow to the displacements of matter?
21077What now remains?
21077What objections can be raised against my conclusion?
21077What relation of similarity exists between this geometrical fact and a desire, an emotion, a sensation of bitterness?
21077What would be the structure of the ear to any one who only knew it through the sense of hearing?
21077What, then, is the mind?
21077Whence comes it that a blow on the eyeball gives me a fleeting impression of light?
21077Whence comes it that a pressure on the epitrochlear nerve gives me a tingling in the hand?
21077Whence comes this singular dilemma propounded to it by nature: to create something new or perish?
21077Where are our duplicate organs of the senses, of which the one is turned inward and the other outward?
21077Where do they place them, since they recognise otherwise that the essence of matter is unknown to us?
21077Where does one see that we possess two different sources of knowledge?
21077Where, then, is that of which we are conscious?
21077Who can claim that one solution is more clear, more reasonable, or more probable than the other?
21077Why a man?
21077Why go so far afield to seek unity?
21077and is not the ideal in opposition to reality?
21077or a coincidence?
21077or is it deprived of all power of creating effect?
21077or the interaction of two distinct forces?
44349''Look; what is the matter with him?'' 44349 ''What is the meaning of this?''
44349Are you confident that the knots are securely tied?
44349But if we are to reject this idea, which is the first which ordinary analogies would suggest, what are we to put in its place? 44349 Can he have forgotten me?"
44349Can you perform such a miracle?
44349Do you feel the table raising?
44349Do you know the medium Slade?
44349Have you prepared any slips with the names of friends, relatives, or others, who have passed into spirit life, with questions for them to answer?
44349How did you do it?
44349If a man die, shall he live again?
44349My fate?
44349What do you think of Dr. Slade''s slate tests?
44349What is his name?
44349What is the matter?
44349''You recognize that name, do you not?''
44349( You may call him a_ wizard_, what does it matter to him?)
44349Are we to regard the Creator''s work as like that of a child, who builds houses out of blocks, just for the pleasure of knocking them down?
44349B.-- When and where did you die?
44349Blavatsky, where was Mrs. Tingley?
44349But how is the writing done on the slate in the second test?
44349But how?
44349But in this test the slate was not in his possession; how then could the writing be accomplished?
44349But is this so?
44349But suppose the medium relates facts that were never in the possession of the sitter, what are we to say then?
44349But why go to science for such a demonstration?
44349Can telepathy account for C''s knowledge?
44349Can words describe it?
44349He and his wife thought a great deal of my mother, and frequently stopped me on the street to inquire,"How is Mary?"
44349He asked himself the question:"''Why was the sound of the silver bell not heard at once, but only after she had left the room and come back again?''"
44349He looks at you and calls"Mary,--how is Mary?"
44349He says:"Is this telepathic action an ordinary case of action from a center of disturbance?
44349How did you get hold of it?''
44349How is it done?
44349I replied,"but how are they done?"
44349I sat down, whereupon he seated himself opposite me, remarking as he did so,"Have you brought slates with you?"
44349If I should move my feet ever so little, you would know it, would you not?"
44349If telepathy does not enter into these cases, what does?
44349If this be so, why the attempts at_ disguise_, and bungling attempts at that?
44349Is it equally diffused in all directions?
44349Is it like the light of a candle or the light of the sun which radiates equally into space in every direction at the same time?
44349Is there any such material guide in the case of telepathy?
44349J.-- Where did you die, and from what disease?
44349Now, tell me, is it an easy task for an amateur to tie a man up off- hand with a rope three yards long, in a very secure way?
44349Sealed letters?
44349The surprising feature about the above case was the alleged spirit communication,"Mary-- how is Mary?"
44349Then how is it done?
44349To B. G.-- Can you recall any of the conversations we had together on the B. and P. R. R. cars?
44349To Len-- Tell me the cause of your death, and the circumstances surrounding it?
44349To Mamie:-- Tell me the name of your dead brother?
44349What is Theosophy?_ 237_ III.
44349When I finished it I went to her and said:''Where in the world did you get that quotation?''
44349Will you help me?
44349said C--,"is there a spirit present?"
38962( 2) Is either sex more variable than the other in mental traits?
38962( 3) Are there any special causes of intellectual inefficiency affecting one sex but not the other?
38962( 4) Are there any sex differences in affective or instinctive equipment which would naturally lead to vocational differentiation of the sexes?

38962----; in winter?
389625 Chooses prettier?
38962Above all, does it involve, as an essential element, an interest in waiting personally upon infants?
38962And do not the journalist and the housekeeper require tact as well as the physician?
38962And if more than one of these elements are to be considered, how are they to be treated commensurately?

38962Can tests of the simpler laboratory type be used to indicate the individual''s ability as shown in his daily work and play?
38962Does it mean an interest in children as such, regardless of their origin?
38962Does it mean desire for offspring which are as yet non- existent?
38962Does it mean only the tendency to care for helpless offspring after they are actually in existence?
38962Does the intercorrelation of tests change in any way with practice, repetition, and familiarity with the material?

38962Have such guides to the introspective analysis of the self been formulated, and by whom, where, and when?
38962Have those who are awarded the professional honors already distinguished themselves from their fellows at the time of their entrance into college?
38962How do the replies to these questions vary with the character of the task?
38962How do the results of tests compare with the judgments of associates?
38962How far, we may now ask, has such analysis been able, as a matter of fact, to proceed with the representative types of work?
38962How important are these functions in practical, educational and vocational life?
38962How is the individual''s judgment of himself likely to compare with the impression of him which his associates form?
38962How many tests, and which, are required to give a fairly correct picture of the individual''s psychological make- up?

38962How reliable and consistent are an individual''s judgments of his own characteristics, interests, and aptitudes?
38962How simple or complex should the various tests be in order to give the best results?
38962If so, what sort of guide or scheme or system may such self- analysis profitably follow?
38962If there are such correlations between estimated traits, what is their direction and amount?
38962If they measure general qualities, which of the existing tests are the best for this purpose?
38962Is it possible for one to judge at all fairly the character of another?
38962Just what mental functions may the particular tests be said to measure?
38962Now show by a cross when the nights are longer: in summer?
38962Or does it consist in a mingling of all these elements?
38962The following paragraph is equally illuminating:"If a girl wishes to succeed in---- she must be possessed with intelligence[ How much?
38962To what degree are individual differences after a given number of trials indicative of the final maximum capacity of the individuals concerned?
38962To what degree do preliminary trials indicate the final capacity of an individual?
38962To what degree does this vary with the individual, the trait, and the associates?

38962Write"yes,"no matter whether China is in Africa or not----; and then give a wrong answer to this question:"How many days are there in the week?"
36009In this connection did you ever think why it is that the devil is continually seeking the moral overthrow and eternal ruin of the human family? 36009 It is often asked in your intercourse with the world of spirits: What are the employments of spirits?
36009What is the true theory of good and evil? 36009 ''Does the description fit her?'' 36009 ''Indianapolis?'' 36009 ''Is it Jeffersonville?'' 36009 ''New Albany?'' 36009 ''What was the cause of his death?'' 36009 ''Where does your mother live?'' 36009 ''Why, did you know Mary when she was living?'' 36009 Among them these: Do the people on Mars sleep? 36009 An early writer said:''If you can not love him whom you have seen, how can you love them whom you have not seen and be beloved in return?'' 36009 And do morals count for naught in the scale of being? 36009 And now others are earnestly talked of and advocated; and does this not teach you the plain lesson that your system is still imperfect? 36009 And the fathers and mothers who educated us, that directed and comforted us, where are they but just beyond the line of the invisible? 36009 And why? 36009 By whom settled, how and when? 36009 Can he gather and control the winds and the seasons as they come and go with all their powerful influences on the globe? 36009 Can it be rationally maintained that truth and justice require a discrimination to be made adverse to the female? 36009 Do you not know that the ox and the horse, for precisely the same reason, can largely discount you? 36009 Do you not perceive the sublimity of this condition? 36009 Does God do any thing without an allwise and beneficent purpose? 36009 Does it belong to and is it a reflex of your boasted Christian civilization? 36009 Does not this plain statement present a dangerous contingency and indicate a palpable weakness? 36009 Does this terrible history, so replete with evil, offer us evidences of Godlike excellence? 36009 From whence do you get this doctrine? 36009 If not, are these of no moment compared with mere physical brute force? 36009 If redface mighty and paleface weak, how then you like it? 36009 If so, how often and how much? 36009 If so, there must be ample reasons for it, and what are they? 36009 If so, when did this divinely appointed consummation take place? 36009 In what pertains to the finer sensibilities and spiritual pureties is woman inferior? 36009 Is hope gone? 36009 Is it not grand to be able to understand, and even more, to appreciate, this knowledge? 36009 Is it possible for Him to do a silly, foolish thing? 36009 Is it true that no adequate protection can be afforded except by judicial murder? 36009 Is man superior to woman morally? 36009 Is the claim true? 36009 Is there any thing to alarm us in this thought? 36009 Is this true? 36009 It is pertinent to inquire, What are the employments of the people of Mars still embodied? 36009 July 27, 1882:Why seriously discuss questions that are fast fading out of sight?
36009My husband inquired,''Where is the fire at?''
36009Oh, why does man mourn over a law that was ordained for the benefit of all mankind?
36009The Mosaic law demanded an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but is this the doctrine of Jesus, the assumed founder of Christianity?
36009The question necessarily arises, why is this so?
36009The questions were then asked:''Is it Louisville?''
36009They have passed from us, but where are they?
36009Was it made before or after man was made?
36009Was it made for man or man for it?
36009What are the duties of the citizen to the government, or what the government has the right to exact of and from the citizen?

42921Are not disabilities attributed to colour which are, in truth, caused by slavery?
42921Are the last words of the dying to be considered prophetic?
42921Are we to infer from this passage, that one of the greatest minds that ever enlightened the Church believed in this species of transformation?
42921Besides, how could Archimedes procure such a mirror, when the art of casting mirrors was unknown, and the manufacture of glass in its infancy?
42921But may there not have been some allegorical or concealed sense connected with the first creation of the Wandering Jew?
42921But who is to prove that they are identical?
42921But would it not be better to inquire why she consented to remain a widow so long?
42921By what indications is it known?
42921Can any reasonable motive be assigned for such a distinction?
42921Can the present inhabitants of Paris be really descended from these savages?

42921Is a supernatural intelligence vouchsafed to the last efforts of expiring nature?
42921Is it just, therefore, to speak of the brutal barbarity of the negroes, when all we see of it is partly our own work?
42921Is it likely then that they should have leisure or inclination for revisiting their dreary mansion of clay?
42921Is it, however, to be credited, that the genius of Descartes did not secure him against this vulgar error?
42921Is merit a positive thing or a relative-- a matter of conversation, or of proof?
42921Is such a council characteristic of barbarism?
42921May not, moreover, the eternal five- pence have been intended to show, that wherever he finds himself, a Jew can never be long in want of money?
42921Now if the brain be the seat of intelligence, may not the nose be influenced by its propinquity to the brain?
42921Or a proof that the moral organization of the negroes is inferior to that of the whites?
42921Ought I to have employed a lawyer, a blacksmith, or a bird- catcher?
42921Proceeding, however, to his daughter''s tomb, he called aloud her name, and demanded what she had done with the object confided to her?
42921She might have seen fit to call me a Consul; but would that have elevated me to the consular dignity?"

42921The influence of storms upon animate as well as inanimate bodies, is incontestable; for which of us has not felt or witnessed the effects?
42921We should be glad if any one would point out to us what was changed in these two important departments of public service, besides the name?
42921What King was ever so popular as Louis XVI.?
42921What is popularity?
42921What, we say again, is popularity?
42921Who ratifies its titles?
42921Why should not animals experience the same atmospheric influences as man?
42921Would it even be fair to judge the inhabitants of Paris and London by the swarms of footmen in those cities?
42921Yet what could be more marked than their distinction of nature?
439Raymondand"Do Thoughts Perish?"
439And what is the punishment of the undeveloped soul?
439And why?
439Are these fruits from the Devil''s tree, you timid orthodox critic?
439Are these the habiliments of heaven?"

439Can any reasonable system of telepathy explain how Miss Cameron discovered the intimate points characteristic of young Gaylord?
439Can any theologian give a reason for such an action?
439Can we not see, then, what was the inner reason for the war?
439Could our modern speculation, forced upon us by the facts, be more tersely stated?
439Have you passed long?
439How can this be explained?
439How can you control the statement of this medium who is consciously or unconsciously pretending to inspiration?"
439How did the Florida doctor see his friend?
439How did the hashish victim see his own unconscious body?
439How is any critic to get beyond these facts save by ignoring or misrepresenting them?
439How, we may well ask, can it see without the natural organs?
439Is it an unreasonable vision?
439Is it in any way opposed to just principles?
439Is it rather some coagulation of ether which introduces an absolutely new substance into our world?
439Is not this the very strangest and most inexplicable thing that has ever yet been observed by human eyes?
439Mr. O.: Anything more?
439Mr. O.: How did you pass?
439Mr. O.: What is it?
439Mr. O.: What were you?
439Now, what can the fair- minded inquirer say to such a story as that-- one of many, but for the moment we are concentrating upon it?
439Now, what is this second body, and how does it fit into modern religious revelation?
439The question then arises if Home concentrated all his force upon transferring such a power how long would that power last?
439Was Mr. Crookes a blasphemous liar?
439Was he honestly mistaken?
439We may well ask why should such great results arise from such petty sources?
439What are we to make of such phenomena?
439What did He do?
439What do the messages from beyond say about these?
439What has any critic to say to that?
439What weight has science of that sort?
439Which has come out of it worst, the Lutheran Prussian, the Catholic Bavarian, or the peoples who have been nurtured by the Greek Church?
439Who are you?
439Why should some have this power and some not?
439Why these particular ones?
439Why was He groaning?
439Why was this tremendous experience forced upon mankind?
20420''God be with us,''said he, turning to Donald,''what was that?'' 20420 ''Surely,''said I to him,''you do n''t mean to say that this man is dead?''
20420Adrienne, are you still angry?
20420And Lucie?
20420And now?
20420And what about clothes?
20420And what about the shawl?
20420But that implies the possibility of a decaying ghost?
20420But what is a Thought Body?
20420But what is an astral body?
20420But, my dear friend, do you actually mean to say that you have the faculty of----"Going about in my Thought Body? 20420 But,"said I to my fellow- passenger,"how do you know that the story is true?"
20420But,said my friend, somewhat dubiously,"what paper are you going to?"
20420Come, Martin,said the man of the house"are you not going to tell a story, I am sure you know many?"
20420Do you hear me?
20420Do you hear this?
20420Excuse me, Mr. Morley,said I,"when will this new arrangement come into effect?"
20420Had ever had any hallucinations?
20420Had she ever seen a ghost?
20420He said to me,''Are my photographs ready?'' 20420 How do you account,"said I to my hostess,"for the change in colour of the silk front from grey to amber?"
20420How often?
20420How?
20420I asked him,''Were you here last night, John?'' 20420 I,"what am I?
20420No; what?
20420Nonsense,she said,"what made you think that?"
20420Not even at the Murder Stone of the Devil''s Punch Bowl?
20420Oh, some one else? 20420 Real Ghost Stories!--How can there be real ghost stories when there are no real ghosts?"
20420Then how do you manage?
20420Then the mummies in the Museum?
20420Then when your thought body appears?
20420Then you had no memory of where you had been?
20420Well,said I,"when are you coming to be photographed?"
20420What name will you have?
20420What was it that happened?
20420Who is it?
20420With F."Why?
20420With whom?
20420You? 20420 ''Not going? 20420 ''Oh, who is talking to me like that? 20420 ''What is that you hear?'' 20420 ''Where are you then, and what is the date of to- day?'' 20420 ''Why did n''t you keep it?'' 20420 And was its bow coming unpinned?'' 20420 Anxious to retain his good- will, I shouted after him,''Can I post what may be done?'' 20420 Are you there, Georgie?'' 20420 As I have two hemispheres in my brain, have I two minds or two souls? 20420 But are there no real ghosts? 20420 But how many are there of us within each skin who can say? 20420 But was she quite sure; had nothing ever occurred to her which she could not explain? 20420 Catherine de Medicis saw, in a vision, the battle of Jarnac, and cried out,Do you not see the Prince of Condà © dead in the hedge?"
20420Ghosts?
20420Have you something on a horse?''
20420He also asks,''Art thou satisfied?''
20420He asks,''Do you feel anything?''
20420He started, and said,''Who told you?''
20420His son replied,''I will, father; what is it?''
20420How far was it capable of reasoning and judgment?
20420How far was its attention alert?
20420How many of us have seen the microbe that kills?
20420How?"
20420I asked''What negative?''
20420I met this gentleman in the street, nearly opposite his office; he shook hands, and said,''How are you?
20420I pushed them very hard, and was led to say, without premeditation,''What hinders you?
20420I said to Mr. S----,"You look different to your usual; what''s the matter with you?"
20420I said,''Who are you?
20420I was here then, was I?
20420In other words, am I one personality or two?
20420In what way, by the aid of what nervous mechanism, was the startling monition conveyed?
20420Is my nature dual?
20420Is there any possible truth in it?
20420Mr. M. replied,''Father, I will; what is it?''
20420Mr. S---- said,"Do n''t you see I am in my_ deshabille_?"''
20420My friend looked at me in some amazement, and said,"And where are you going to?"
20420Now, may it not be that this supplies a suggestion as to the cause of the phenomenon of clairvoyance?
20420Now, what do you think of such a vision as that?
20420Or,''_ Georgie_, are you in?
20420Seeing that she did not seem to be attending to him, he went up to her and said,"Did you hear what I did just now?"
20420Shall we call her Blanche?"
20420She said,''Is there some trouble?''
20420She saw_ her_, and asked, When shall I be with you?
20420Shelley, while in a state of trance, saw a figure wrapped in a cloak which beckoned to him and asked, Siete soddisfatto?--are you satisfied?
20420Tell me, will you speak to me if I appear to you in my thought body?"
20420The clerk said,''Where?''
20420We ask, in amazement, how many more personalities may there not be hidden in the human frame?
20420What I want to know is whether you agree to the changes which I propose to make and which will somewhat affect your work in the office?"
20420What can have brought her out at this time?
20420What in the world do you mean, Angus?''
20420What is our Ego?
20420What proof, it will be asked impatiently, is there for the splitting of our personality?
20420When he was elected the question came as to what should be done?
20420Why do you not yield yourself to Christ?
20420Why should I always see something at three o''clock each day after the seance?''"
20420Will you_ speak_ to Irwin?''
20420You said"died,"and the day you mentioned has not come yet?''
20420was so frightened?"
51743And who would now be so simple as to think of spirits when the medium was not searched?
51743Are there not certain conditions for the appearance of all scientific phenomena, they ask us?
51743Are we to see no spots on the egregious"Dr."Monck, who pretended that he was taken from his bed in Bristol and put to bed in Swindon by spirit hands?
51743Are we to take it that Summerland is really a material universe, not an ether world?
51743Blavatsky?
51743Blavatsky?
51743But does Sir Arthur never read the_ Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research_?
51743But how could it be done if the plate was never in the hands of the photographer?
51743But what would you?
51743But why puzzle over details where all is a challenge to common human reason?
51743Did not a Serbian diplomatist talk to the spirit in Serb, which Mrs. Wriedt did not know, and answer for the genuineness of the phenomena?
51743Do they not know the features of their dead son or daughter or wife?
51743Does Sir A. C. Doyle want us to go back to the pure early days of the movement?
51743Does any man think it is a matter of indifference whether this ministry of consolation is based on fraud and inspired by greed?
51743Does he not warn us in a footnote that he has"not yet traced the source of all this supposed information"?
51743Does it matter?
51743Has Sir A. C. Doyle never heard of Browning''s"Sludge"?
51743Has your child been torn from you?
51743How had he smuggled them into the room?
51743How is it possible, he will ask, that so many distinguished men have given their names to the movement if it is all fraudulent?
51743IS SPIRITUALISM BASED ON FRAUD?
51743Is not darkness a condition of certain scientific processes?
51743Is there any need to settle whether we shall live after death?
51743Must we forfeit this new hope that we may see them again?
51743Now, which of these were ever"white"?
51743Was Charles Williams white?
51743Was Colchester, who was detected and exposed, white?
51743Was Florence Cook, the pupil of Herne( the transporter of Mrs. Guppy at sixty miles an hour) and bewitcher of Sir W. Crookes, white?
51743Was Foster white?
51743Was her friend and contemporary ghost- producer, Miss Showers, never exposed?
51743Was she ruined?
51743Well, who are they?
51743Were Bastian and Taylor white?
51743What can be said for Sir W. Crookes?
51743What chance has the ordinary inquirer, much less the eager Spiritualist, against guile of this description?
51743What chance have you in a poor light?
51743What chance have you, then, against a man or woman who has been conjuring for twenty years?
51743What earthly chance have you in the dark?
51743What is the evidence which Sir W. Barrett, knowing that the general public has no leisure to investigate these things, endorses as satisfactory?
51743What is the value of such conversions?
51743Where, then, are the snow- whites?
51743Who are the"distinguished"Spiritualists_ to- day_?
51743Who could doubt either the word or the competence of the Chief Judge of the Supreme Consular Court of China and Japan?
51743Who in England knew anything about Piet Botha and his death?
51743Who is this mysterious lady?
51743Why not simply_ imagine_ that the dead still live, and save the guinea?
51743Will he ask why?
20654Is it really green, or is it just taking me in?
20654Oh, but where are the factory chimneys?
20654What do you want? 20654 Woman, what have I to do with thee?"
20654You love mother, do n''t you, dear?
20654--or else--"Why have you left out the gas- works?"
20654A man is a thing of scientific cause- and- effect and biological process, draped in an ideal, is he?
20654And I_ will_ drive you home to yourself, do you hear?
20654And all the time we yell at him:"Will you deny love, you villain?
20654And from the sun, can the spores of souls pass to the various worlds?
20654And how is your cousin Signor Martian?"
20654And how to get out of it?
20654And how?
20654And if I try to do this-- well, why not?
20654And is astrology not altogether nonsense?
20654And it has experienced these extended reactions with whom?
20654And me?
20654And since the mother- child relationship is to- day the viciousest of circles, what are we to do?
20654And then what?
20654And then what?
20654And then?--and then, with this glamorous youth?
20654And to the worlds of the cosmos seed across space, through the wild beams of the sun?
20654And to- day what have we but this?
20654And what about a goal?
20654And what does this mean?
20654And what is this other, greater impulse?
20654And what then?
20654And which is positive, which negative?
20654And you do n''t know how, do you?
20654And, I ask you, what good will psychoanalysis do you in this state of affairs?
20654As for children, will we never realize that their abstractions are never based on observations, but on subjective exaggerations?
20654Because anyhow, whom has he experimented on?
20654Bury it?
20654But are they as they were before?
20654But because the mother- child relation is more plausible and flagrant, is that any reason for supposing it deeper, more vital, more intrinsic?
20654But briefly, coldly, and with as cold a dismissal as possible.--"Look here, you''re not a child any more; you know it, do n''t you?
20654But can you say the same of America?
20654But does this prove a repressed incest desire?
20654But if the child thus seeks the mother, does it then know the mother alone?
20654But in what way does the life of individuals depend directly upon the moon?
20654But is this sex?
20654But is this the whole of sex?
20654But once a woman is sexually self- conscious, what is she to do?
20654But still-- we_ might_ live, might n''t we?
20654But what does it matter?
20654But what if he believes that his sexual consummation is his supreme consummation?
20654But what is bullying?
20654But what is the experience?
20654But what?
20654But why should they understand?
20654By what right, I ask you, are we going to inject into him our own disease- germs of ideas and infallible motives?
20654Come now, Columbia, where is your High- falutin''Nonsense trumpet?
20654Do you think you''re as obvious as a poached egg on a piece of toast, like the poor lunatic?
20654Hence Jesus,"Woman, what have I to do with thee?"
20654How does the figure of the mother gradually develop as a_ conception_ in the child mind?
20654How is it then that they feel, and look, so girlish?
20654If I try to write down what I see-- why not?
20654Is it hence sex?
20654Is the air the same after a thunder- storm as before?
20654Is the dynamic passion in a horse the danger- passion?
20654Is the straightness none too evident?
20654Is there not your ostensible navel, where the rupture between you and her took place?
20654Is there seed of Mars in my veins?
20654Is this new craving for polarized communion with others, this craving for a new unison, is it sexual, like the original craving for the woman?
20654Is this new polarity, this new circuit of passion between comrades and co- workers, is this also sexual?
20654Knowing what sex is, can we call this other also sex?
20654Love-- what is love?
20654Man, the doer, the knower, the original in_ being_, is he lord of life?
20654My watch?
20654Now does all life work up to the one consummating act of coition?
20654Now what is the act of coition?
20654Or is woman, the great Mother, who bore us from the womb of love, is she the supreme Goddess?
20654Or make an effort with a stranger?
20654Or was the American only bragging?
20654Or was woman, with her deep womb of emotion, born from the rib of active man, the first created?
20654Otherwise how could it maintain a definite and progressively developing relation to her?
20654Pray, what is combustion?
20654Say to yourself:"Come now, what is it all about?"
20654See him, see him, Michael?
20654Shall I be blasted by this false lightning?"
20654So what about the next step?
20654So what have you?
20654Some must know what a child beholds, when it looks at a horse, and what it means when it says,"Why is grass green?"
20654Suppose you want to look a tree in the face?
20654That is, does he follow the smell of the leather itself, or the vibration track of the individual whose vitality is communicated to the leather?
20654The atom?
20654Then say to yourself:"Why am I in such a fluster?"
20654Therefore, why should they make a pretense of it?
20654Was man, the eternal protagonist, born of woman, from her womb of fathomless emotion?
20654Was the building of the cathedrals a working up towards the act of coition?
20654Was the dynamic impulse sexual?
20654Well, then, what about it?
20654What ails you, you whiner?"
20654What does all this mean?
20654What have we got that will carry through?
20654What is he actually to do with his sensual, sexual self?
20654What is sex, really?
20654What is the good of a tree desiring to fly like a bird in the sky, when a bird is rooted in the earth as surely as a tree is?
20654What is the good of trying to break away from one''s own?
20654What now, that the upper centers are finely active in positivity?
20654What, do n''t you believe it?
20654When a child says,"Why is grass green?"
20654When did any machine, even a single spinning- wheel, automatically evolve itself?
20654Where are the white negroid teeth?
20654Where does he even keep his soul?--Where does anybody?
20654Where in us are the sharp and vivid teeth of the wolf, keen to defend and devour?
20654Where?
20654Why did we fall into this gnawing disease of unappeasable dissatisfaction?
20654Why does the dream- process act so?
20654Why force abstractions and kill the reality, when there''s no need?
20654Why should we cram the mind of a child with facts that have nothing to do with his own experiences, and have no relation to his own dynamic activity?
20654Why should you?
20654Why try coaxing and logic and tricks with children?
20654Why were we driven out of Paradise?
20654Will you?"
20654With what result?
20654With what result?
20654With what result?
20654Yes, he did--"Now who will tell me that this talk has any rhyme or reason?
20654Yet is this dynamic flow inevitably sexual in nature?
20654You know that, do n''t you, dear?
20654You''ll want to have a dear little baby, wo n''t you, darling?
20654or"Do you call that sloppy thing a church?"
7082And did you not bring away something from his house?
7082For what purpose am I called?
7082What is it you demand to have done?
7082Wherefore am I called?
7082Who are you?
7082''How now?''
7082And how is this devil employed according to sir Matthew Hale and sir Thomas Browne?
7082And, if these poor women were too obtuse of soul entirely to feel the pang, did that give their superiors a right to overwhelm and to crush them?
7082Are all the Gods subject to this control, or, is there one God upon whom it has power, who, himself compelled, compels the elements?
7082Do they yield from necessity, or is it a voluntary subjection?
7082He said, he was not guilty; but, being asked how he would be tried?
7082How can I be secure from the false accusations of the unprincipled informers who infest your court?
7082Is it the piety of these hags that obtains the reward, or by menaces do they secure their purpose?
7082Macduff pursued him, and was hard at his heels, when the tyrant turned his horse, and exclaimed,"Why dost thou follow me?
7082Now the first circumstance that strikes us in this affair is, why the crime was not expressed in more perspicuous and appropriate language?
7082Now what are the premises on which they proceed in this question?
7082The wife in great terror asked,"Were you not at Dr. Lamb''s to- day?"
7082We hear there is likely to be a battle shortly: what, fled from your colours?''
7082Well may they exclaim, like the ghost of Samuel in the sacred story,"Why hast thou disquieted me?"
7082What can be more tyrannical, than an inquisition into the sports and freaks of fancy?
7082What is, to a proverb, more lawless than imagination?
7082What more unsusceptible of detection or evidence?
7082What shall we say to the story of his various transmigrations?
7082When Mr. Thoroughgood saw his friend Lindsey come into his yard, his horse and himself much tired, in a sort of a maze, he said,''How now, colonel?
7082Why, for example, was it not said, that the first and chief branch of treason was to"kill the king?"
7082Wot ye not that such a man as I could certainly divine?"
7082Yet what so irrational as man?
7082[ 19] They brought the strangers again into the presence of Joseph, who addressed them with severity, saying,"What is this deed that ye have done?
7082said Cromwel,''What, troubled with the vapours?
7082said he,"and what is it that you demand?"
37047And I ask you, of what order is that spirit?
37047And here if the objectors return and say, who told you that there are spirits; Is not yours a precarious hypothesis?
37047And is this, without laughing, true?
37047And pray, replied Mr. Barnard, what reason have you beyond a pun to take him for a Jacobite?
37047And shall a manifest experience be so easily exploded?
37047And what sort of a boy is he?
37047As big as you are?
37047But then, say you, why can not those persons be cured by physicians?
37047But what fools periods read for periods''sake?
37047But what sort of a boy is that that meets you?
37047Can we make it a scruple, whether God will permit innocent persons should be so traduced?
37047Did the little boy appoint you?
37047Do good spirits dwell so near us, or are they sent on such messages?
37047Does he write?
37047For how does a demon stir up raptures or ecstacies in men?
37047For how many gipsies and pretenders to chiromancy have we in London and in the country?
37047Hereupon, being much affrighted, he fell into an extreme sweat, so that his wife awaking and finding him all over wet, she asked him what he ailed?
37047How many that are for hydromancy, that pretend in water to show men mighty mysteries?
37047In what English book?
37047Is not this hypothesis as precarious as any man may pretend that of spirits to be?
37047Is not this like what you call hearing?
37047Lying in his bed, pensive, Bocconi appeared to him; my Lord Middleton asked him if he were dead or alive?
37047May not we have leave to recriminate in this place?
37047Must he be so because his name is Perkin?
37047Now the man that had the second- sight was to be tried; it was now to be put to the proof if he could tell names or no?
37047Now what can be more infinitely profane than to use the prayer our Lord instituted in such a way?
37047One of the fathers immediately asked him if he understood Latin?
37047Or what should touch our consciences, being convicted by so many testimonies?
37047Pray, who told Aristotle that there were intelligences that moved the celestial spheres?
37047Shall his obstinacy confute the learned?
37047Shall his want of faith be thought justly to give the lie to so many persons of the highest honour and quality, and of the most undoubted integrity?
37047Shall we place him in the number of the rebels, whom their pride precipitated into the abyss?
37047The reply Cantle made him was this; Does he not love ringing?
37047Then it asked him whether he did not know him?
37047This being thought extraordinary, and Sir Norman hearing one whisper him in the ear, asked who advised him so skilfully?
37047To begin: how are children at first taught a language that can hear?
37047To whom the fathers, being somewhat of an eager spirit, said; What should make us doubtful in this case?
37047Upon this Sir Norman asked him how long it was since he had learned to play?
37047What greater testimony would the most incredulous have?
37047What interest could an earl and many noblemen have in promoting such an imposture?
37047What noisy talker can thy magic boast?
37047Will you imagine that you are in commerce with a spirit?
37047_ My question._ But what was you staring at when I came in?
37047_ My question._ How big is he?
37047_ My question._ How does he do it?
37047_ My question._ I will be sure to keep it secret; but how do you know you are to meet them there to- day?
37047and what are those sounds, but tokens and signs to the ear, importing and signifying such and such a thing?
37047and what sort of a lamb?
37047and yet, retaining love to him, as Dives to his brethren, would have him saved?
37047are they not taught by sounds?
37047have aids from thee; Wilt thou, like witty heathens, lewdly given, To a Gehenna metamorphose Heaven?
37047or is it his guardian angel?
37047or is it the soul of some dead friend that suffers?
37047or of the intelligences, who continued firm in faith and submission to their creator?
37047though they are like other boys and other lambs which you see, they are a thousand times prettier and finer?

41386And how can anything be deeply ourselves which developed accidentally, without set intention?
41386And is there, again, any intelligent way of modifying the future except to attend to the full possibilities of the present?
41386But does he?
41386But how does the case stand with language?
41386But where are Helen, Hector and Achilles in modern warfare?
41386But why not harden himself so that others''sufferings wo n''t count?
41386But why, he may protest, go to an opposite extreme and make the future but a means to the significance of the present?
41386But_ why_ act for the wise, or good, or better?
41386Does it liberate or suppress, ossify or render flexible, divide or unify interest?
41386For is not its lesson that we should concentrate attention, each upon the consciousness accompanying his action so as to refine and develop it?
41386He will ask: Can its motive be made universal for all cases?
41386How is the tremendous diversity of institutions( including moral codes) to be accounted for?
41386How much would be lost if it were dropped out, and we were left face to face with actual facts?
41386How shall impulse exercise that re- adjusting office which has been claimed for it?
41386How shall thought which is personal arrive at standards which hold good for all, which, in modern phrase, are objective?
41386How then can we get leverage for changing institutions?
41386How then does it come about that current economic psychology has so tremendously oversimplified the situation?
41386How then shall we choose among them?
41386How would one like it if by one''s act one''s motive in that act were to be erected into a universal law of actual nature?
41386If a man lived alone in the world there might be some sense in the question"Why be moral?"
41386If one''s own present experience is to be depreciated in its meaning because it centers in a self, why act for the welfare of others?
41386Is imagination diverted to fantasy and compensatory dreams, or does it add fertility to life?
41386Is it desired in any sense for itself, or only because it is the means of effective adjustment of a whole set of underlying habits?
41386Is memory made apt and extensive or narrow and diffusely irrelevant?
41386Is not such thought of necessity shut out from effective power, from ability to control objects and command events?
41386Is not the effect of such a doctrine to weaken putting forth of endeavor in order to make the future better than the present?
41386Is perception quickened or dulled?
41386Is the value of_ that_ present also to be postponed to a future date, and so on indefinitely?
41386Is there any way out of the vicious circle?
41386Is thought creative or pushed one side into pedantic specialisms?
41386Just what is the significance of an alleged recognition of a supremacy which is continually denied in fact?
41386Or is the garage simply a means by which a divided body of activities is redintegrated or coordinated?
41386Or when the tickled vanity of social admiration is masked as pure love of learning?
41386SECTION III: WHAT IS FREEDOM?
41386Still the question recurs: What authority have standards and ideas which have originated in this way?
41386The answer to the question"Why not put your hand in the fire?"
41386To ask these questions is equivalent to asking: Why live?
41386What claim have they upon us?
41386What do they do that is distinctive?
41386What does the statement amount to?
41386What is its office, its function, its_ possibility_, or use?
41386What is to be done with these facts of disharmony and conflict?
41386What of that?
41386What sense is there in increased external control except to increase the intrinsic significance of living?
41386What then is choice?
41386What then is meant by individual mind, by mind as individual?
41386What, then, really happens when the actual outcome of satisfied revenge figures in thought as virtuous eagerness for justice?
41386Where does thought exist and operate when it is excluded from habitual activities?
41386Who knows when it will end, or what fortune the morrow will bring?
41386Why attend to metaphysical and transcendental ideal realities even if we concede they are the authors of moral standards?
41386Why did morality set up rules so foreign to human nature?
41386Why did we not set out with an examination of those instinctive activities upon which the acquisition of habits is conditioned?
41386Why do this act if I feel like doing something else?
41386Why does moral authority exist at all?
41386Why employ language, cultivate literature, acquire and develop science, sustain industry, and submit to the refinements of art?
41386Why have men become so attached to fixed, external ends?
41386Why is the claim of the Right recognized in conscience even by those who violate it in deed?
41386Why not follow our own immediate devices if we are so inclined?
41386Why not rather condemn impulse and exalt habits of reverencing order and fixed truth?
41386Why should the power of foresight and effort to shape the future, to regulate what is to happen, be slighted?
41386Why should what is derived and therefore in some sense artificial in conduct be discussed before what is primitive, natural and inevitable?
41386Why then should not the satisfactory plum shed its halo retrospectively upon what precedes and be taken as a sign of virtue?
41386Why then was human nature so averse to them?
41386Why, indeed, acknowledge the authority of Right?
41386Would one then be willing to make the same choice?
33506And about the manifestations at Hydesville in 1848 and the finding of bones in the cellar and so on?
33506It is all a trick?
33506Mrs. Jencken, are you willing to join with your sister in exposing the true modus operandi of Spiritualism?
33506Then you will not deny that what she has said of Spiritualism is true?
33506What can I add to the revelations of those letters? 33506 Why do n''t you come squarely out, then, with the truth, and make the public your friends?
33506Will you greatly oblige me with an answer? 33506 You want to know what are the points of my coming exposà ©?
33506''Is the person living that injured you?''
33506*** Oh, Maggie, are you never tired of_ this weary, weary sameness of continual deceit_?
33506And if it could not, does not this pretended"evidence"fall at once to the ground?
33506Are the sounds produced in your room when you have no shoes on?
33506Are there seven members of the Committee present?
33506Are they all seated around one table?
33506Are they seated at two tables?
33506Are those the shoes which you usually wear?
33506Are we likely to have any demonstration?''
33506Are you able to communicate with him now?
33506Are you ever conscious of any vibration in your bones?
33506As if the''Spirits''might or might not communicate?
33506But can he not do it by trickery?
33506But do you feel now, to- night, any untoward influence operating against you?
33506By-- what?
33506Could anything be more blasphemous, more disgusting, more thinly deceptive than that?
33506Could one man''s hand cover them all?
33506Do these raps always have that vibratory sound-- tr- rut-- tr- rut-- tr- rut?
33506Do you know a man named Kellar, who is exhibiting in this city?
33506Do you know that there is something behind the shadowy mask of Spiritualism that the public can hardly guess at?
33506Do you not think so?
33506Do you suppose that the present conditions are such that you can throw the raps to a part of the room other than that in which you are?
33506He says further:"The inquiry was then addressed to Mr. Slade: Do you know a man named Guernilla, who, with his wife, gave sà © ances?
33506How did Mr. Kellar do that?
33506How does your hand feel when affected in that way?
33506How in the world shall we test that?
33506How many feet, pray you?
33506I asked:''Is it a spirit?
33506I asked:''Were you injured in this house?''
33506I have told my sister Leah over and again:''Now that you are rich, why do n''t you save your soul?''
33506I presume then, that it is Henry Seybert?
33506I said,''Flat Foot, can you dance the Highland fling?''
33506I then asked:''Is this a human being that answers my questions so correctly?''
33506Is Mr. Seybert present?
33506Is Mr. Seybert still present?
33506Is any spirit present now?
33506Is any spirit present whom I know, or who knows me?
33506Is it Henry Seybert?
33506Is the spirit the same that was present last night?
33506Isolating you from the table?
33506It was but natural:"Since you now despise Spiritualism, how was it that you were engaged in it so long?"
33506Margaret Fox, the mother, used to say to her husband:"Now, John, do n''t you see that it''s a wonderful thing?"
33506Not now?
33506Now Mr. Seybert, can not you produce some raps?
33506Now, Mr. Seybert, if your''spirit''is here, will you have the kindness-- I knew Mr. Seybert well in life-- to rap?
33506Now, Spirits, will you rap on the floor?
33506She says she will lecture, does she?
33506She used to say when we were sitting in a dark circle at home:''Is this a disembodied spirit that has taken possession of my dear children?''
33506Spirits, is he not easily fooled?"
33506The freer the raps come, the better for you?
33506The glasses are not placed over the marble, are they?
33506The"spirits"answered:"What do you think we require you to sit close to the table for?"
33506Then it was not the regular triple rap?
33506This shocked mother and she said:''O, Leah, how can you encourage that fiend by singing for him to dance?''
33506Thus the doctor wrote to Maggie in New York:"Is the old house dreary to you?
33506Under what conditions can you influence them?
33506Was there an answer to that?
33506Well, how does he perform his wonderful exploits in''rappings,''etc.?
33506Wells?"
33506Were any of you gentlemen acquainted with Mr. Seybert in his lifetime?
33506What are the rules?
33506What are they to my wishes?
33506What can they indicate in a spiritual way, except that the soul of man is descending to a lower point that it has ever reached while incarnate?
33506What did we know?
33506What will become of you?
33506What would you do?
33506Who am I?
33506Who can doubt this who knows human nature?
33506Will the Spirit rap here?
33506Will the''Spirit''rap again?
33506Will you communicate with him before Mr. Pepper leaves to- night?
33506Will you give me a piece of paper?
33506Will you rap on the floor?
33506Will you repeat the raps we heard just now, assuming that there were some?
33506Will you repeat your taps to indicate that you are present yet?
33506You asked that question, I think?
33506You say that in the generality of cases they are beyond your control?
62273And confessed that the Devil did ask of her, whether she was a poor woman?
62273And thereupon this Informant''s wife did ask of the said Agnes, who it was that was at the door?
62273And thereupon this informant did ask of the said Agnes, who it was that stood at the door?
62273At the first time of your examination you said it was like a short black man about the length of your arm?
62273Did you ever lie with the Devil?
62273Did you or them bewitch his child?
62273Did you pass through the keyhole of the door or was the door open?
62273H._ Mary Trembles, what have you to say as to the crime you are to die for?
62273Have you made any contract with the Devil?
62273If thou hast anything to speak, speak thy mind?
62273In what shape?
62273This informant demanded of her, why she had not confessed so much when she was in prison last time?
62273Upon which this Informant did demand of her the said Temperance whether she had been suckt at that place by the Black Man?
62273Upon which this informant said,"Why dost thou weep for me?"
62273Well, consider you are just departing this world: do you believe there is a God?
62273What Malice had you against her?
62273_ H._ And did you go?
62273_ H._ Are you willing to have any prayers?
62273_ H._ Did he ever make use of thy body?
62273_ H._ Did he ever take any of thy blood?
62273_ H._ Did he give thee any gift, or did''st thou make him any promises?
62273_ H._ Did he offer violence to you?
62273_ H._ Did you bruise her till the blood came out of her nose and mouth?
62273_ H._ Did you know any mariners that you or your associates destroyed by overturning of ships or boats?
62273_ H._ Did you know one Mr. Lutteris about these parts, or any of your confederates?
62273_ H._ Had he ever any carnal knowledge of thee?
62273_ H._ Had you no discourse or treaty with him?
62273_ H._ Have you a secret teat?
62273_ H._ How did he appear to thee at the first, or where, in the street?
62273_ H._ How did you know it was the Devil?
62273_ H._ How many did you destroy and hurt?
62273_ H._ In what shape did the Devil come to you?
62273_ H._ Mary Trembles, was not the Devil there with Susan, when I was once in prison with you, and under her coats?
62273_ H._ Susan, did you see the shape of a bullock?
62273_ H._ Susan, had you any knowledge of the bewitching of Mrs. Lutteris''child, or did you know a place called Trunta Burroughs?
62273_ H._ Temperance, how did you come to hurt Mrs. Grace Thomas?
62273_ H._ Was it you or Susan that did bewitch the children?
62273_ H._ What caused you to do harm?
62273_ H._ What did he do when he came to thee?
62273_ H._ Why did you not call upon God?
62273_ H._ You say you never hurt ships or boats; did you never ride over an arm of the sea on a cow?
62273_ Sh._ Did the Devil never promise you any thing?
62273_ Sh._ Did you know of their coming to gaol?
62273_ Sh._ Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
62273_ Sh._ Had you no discourse with the Devil?
62273_ Sh._ Have you anything to say to satisfy the world?
62273_ Sh._ How do you know you did it?
62273_ Sh._ In what shape or colour was he?
62273_ Sh._ You were charged about twelve years since, and did you never see the Devil but about this time?
62273_ T._ At the Door?
62273and did she do you any harm?
62273how went you in thro''the keyhole or the Door?
62273the other told me he was there, but is now fled; and that the Devil was in the way when I was going to Taunton with my son, who is a Minister?
30440''And have you no explanation of these hauntings?'' 30440 ''But within a radius of a few miles?''
30440''How far are the houses off the hill?'' 30440 ''Well,''William replied, a puzzled expression on his face,''you noticed an ebony chair in the room?''
30440And what would be the after- effect, Mr O''Donnell?
30440But why did you venture here alone?
30440Is n''t it terrible?
30440Pray what was the matter with her? 30440 Well?"
30440What is your opinion on that point?
30440Where is she?
30440Wo n''t you come with me?
30440Yes,I replied;"but how on earth do you know?"
30440You will let me know when you do?
30440''Are the houses close together-- in the same road or valley?''
30440''Whoever can it be?''
30440; or are they things that were never carnate?
30440A phantasm of some dead tree?
30440And, if they have one sense, have they not others?
30440Another glass of Moselle?"
30440Are the insects, the trees, the fish responsible for the diseases with which they are inflicted?
30440Are their crude devices and mad, tomboyish pranks merely reactionary, and the only means they have of finding vent for their naturally high spirits?
30440But are we always right?
30440But be serious now, I beg you, and tell me what made you come to- night and what you have been doing all these years?
30440But what caused the man in the street to notice me?
30440But, of course, you wo n''t mind spending a night in it?''
30440CHAPTER VI COMPLEX HAUNTINGS AND OCCULT BESTIALITIES What are occult bestialities?
30440Ca n''t you see it?"
30440Can I expect you to believe that?
30440Can they see, hear, or smell?
30440Can they, like certain-- not all-- dogs and horses and other animals, detect the proximity of the unknown?
30440Can you see any association in the two hauntings-- any possible connection between what you heard and what Mr Vercoe saw?"
30440Could anyone save the blindest and most fanatical of biblical bigots call the ordainer of such a punishment merciful?
30440Dingan exclaimed, when I approached him on the subject,''the mango tree on the Yuka Road, just before you get to the bridge over the river?
30440Do they tremble and shake with fear at the sight of some psychic vegetation, or are they utterly devoid of any such faculty?
30440Do you know what the sounds were, Baroness?
30440Had she no dowry, or was she an heiress with an ogre of a father, or was she already married?"
30440Hans inquired,"and why unarmed?
30440Have I seen them?
30440Have they any senses at all?
30440Have you heard from Mr Vercoe lately?"
30440How came you to get hold of such a crazy idea?''
30440How utterly futile, for who, in God''s name, would hear me?
30440I fell on my knees before her and kissed-- what?
30440I murmured,''why Dolmen?''
30440I was at an"at home"one afternoon several seasons ago, when an old friend of mine suddenly whispered:"You see that lady in black, over there?
30440If the unknown brain has a separate existence, and can detach itself at times( as in"projection"), why must it wait for death to set it entirely free?
30440In my dreams, in the wild fantasies that had oft- times visited my pillow at night-- in delirium, in reality, where?
30440Is n''t she divine?
30440Is n''t that so, Jacques?''
30440It is more than twelve hours since he was executed; will anything-- will the shape, the personality, I anticipate-- come?
30440Leaning over the little tile- covered table at which we sat, the stranger suddenly said:"Do you see anything by me?
30440May not that creaking be sometimes due to an invisible presence in the chair?
30440Now, what do you think of that?"
30440Or is it the reverse?
30440Over and over again I asked myself the hackneyed, but none the less thrilling question,''What form will it take?
30440Presently a voice, every whit as lovely as the face, said:"So you are Jack''s chum?"
30440Shall we leave the beast here or take it with us?"
30440Something is coming, and, if that something is not the phantasm of him whom I believe is earthbound, whose phantasm is it?
30440The Crescent, Bath?"
30440Then, quite suddenly, a man stepped out from the dark entrance to a by- street, and, touching me lightly on the arm, said,"Is there anything amiss?
30440WHERE?
30440Was it a shape of my fancy, or was it horrible reality that I heard and saw on that night?
30440What ails you?"
30440What are pixies?
30440What do you think of them?"
30440What had I seen?
30440What is the matter?"
30440What phantasm of any standing at all would be attracted by such baubles?
30440What prompted him to lend me his aid?
30440What shall I do?"
30440What was it?
30440What was it?
30440What was the history of the house?"
30440What, then, is it?
30440When will you start, and what will you take with you?''
30440When would he begin his job and how?
30440Whence came it?
30440Whence come these strangers, to all appearance of flesh and blood like myself?
30440Where could one find a greater combination of typically criminal characteristics?
30440Who has not seen, or fancied he has seen, a fire- coffin?
30440Why not?
30440Why should He?
30440Why?
30440Will it be simply a phantasm of a dead Celt, or some peculiarly grotesque and awful elemental[1] attracted to the spot by human remains?''
30440Would it be rid of him?
30440Would that God, if He were almighty, have permitted the existence of such an enemy( or indeed an enemy at all) as the Devil?
30440Yet of what?
30440Yet what could I do?
30440Yet where did these articles go, and of what use would they be to a poltergeist?
30440You ask me why?
30440_ Fire- coffins_ Who has not seen all manner of pictures in the fire?
30440_ Mermaids_ Who would not, if they could, believe in mermaids?
30440or a vice- elemental, whose presence there would be due to some particularly wicked crime or series of crimes perpetrated on or near the spot?
30440some peculiar species of spirit( I have elsewhere termed a vagrarian), attracted thither by the loneliness of the locality?
30440some vicious, evil phantasm?
30440was it true?
30440what shall I do?
48001Alvarus was very much affected at this news--''What,''said he,''have I been laying up hoard upon hoard only to leave it behind me? 48001 But, my dear children,"said Mr. Willock,"if the former was the countenance of the wicked Baron before he committed the crime, how did it appear now?
48001Is it not a pity, my dear children, that the latter years of a good old man like this should be disturbed with grief-- that an old man should weep? 48001 Pray, sir, whose portrait is that?"
48001Surely here are the features of this bravo, full of defiance and resentment; is it not the face of ANGER? 48001 The stranger was the rich Norman Baron de la Braunch.--''Well,''cried he,''Nicholas, how does fortune use thee?''
48001What is it, papa?
48001''Blessed St. Anthony,''cried she,''what is this?
48001''Good people,''said the stranger,''will you afford a traveller shelter from the storm?''
48001''Well,''cried Nicholas,''and what will become of me?
48001''What is that?''
48001''What, Nicholas,''cried he,''is it you?
48001''You are mighty curious,''continued he;''what business is it of yours how much the woman owes?
48001--"Dear sir,"interrupted William,"what beautiful boat is that?"
48001--''And what am I to have?''
48001--''And you are quite certain that you would be happy if you were rich?''
48001--''Bless me, how is that?''
48001--''Come, come, good people,''cried the Baron,''be better tempered with each other: and do you think, good woman, that riches would make you happy?''
48001--''Heaven knows,''replied Gertrude.--''Who told you to speak?''
48001--''How so?''
48001--''I can not yet comprehend you,''answered the young scholar;''what has happened to her?''
48001--''May it, Nicholas?''
48001--''My dear, do n''t you understand the gentleman?''
48001--''Not so,''cried the other.--''What are they then?''
48001--''Peace, Gertrude,''cried Nicholas,''may not this money be a temptation?''
48001--''The very night indeed,''repeated Gertrude.--''Are you sure of this?''
48001--''Well, how then?''
48001--''What ails you, my dear Nicholas?''
48001--''What, and do n''t you fret when you have a loss?''
48001--''What, coming up already?''
48001--''Who knows?''
48001--''Willingly, sir,''answered Nicholas.--''Very willingly, sir,''interrupted Gertrude;''wo nt you be pleased to sit down, sir?''
48001Are not these, my dear children, his features?
48001How are your father and mother?
48001How does Le Brun describe it?"
48001I am ill, Nicholas, very ill.''"Nicholas asked if he could do any thing for his uncle?
48001I suppose that you wo nt pay the money for her, will you?''
48001If it is night, and we view the stars, what can we conjecture but that they must be placed in the firmament by an Almighty hand?
48001Is not all this matter of_ Admiration_?
48001On the stranger''s approach, he heard a man scolding--''What,''cried he,''do you think I am to keep you for nothing, you little lazy monkey?
48001Suppose we look at the next picture; will not your looks be more like it than this?
48001What can I do with all these riches?''
48001What have we here?"
48001do you know that I have done nothing but fret ever since my disaster: but, bless me, what is here?
48001is not this the delightful countenance, the beauteous face of COMPASSION?
48001what ails my poor Nicholas?''
48001what delight has this world afforded me?
48001what enjoyment have I had?
48001why do n''t you get another withy, and bind up these faggots?''
26430Under what condition, in a symphonic work, is the visual image, introduced by the psychic image, produced? 26430 ''What time are vespers sung in your town?'' 26430 After this, is it necessary to remark that belief depends peculiarly on the motor elements of our organization and not on the intellectual? 26430 And why so? 26430 Are not these dispositions of the mind fertile in artifices, stratagems, inventions of all kinds? 26430 Are there characters peculiar to each one? 26430 Are there races or groups of men totally devoid of myths? 26430 Are these images complete, in the strict sense of the word? 26430 Are these two views irreconcilable? 26430 Besides, has an experiment, in the strict sense of the word, ever been made at thepsychological moment"?
26430But is there a criterion other than that?
26430But what is the nature of this work?
26430But what is their nature?
26430By what positive signs do we recognize it?
26430CHAPTER II THE CREATIVE IMAGINATION IN THE CHILD At what age, in what form, under what conditions does the creative imagination make its appearance?
26430CHAPTER V LAW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IMAGINATION Is imagination, so often called"a capricious faculty,"subject to some law?
26430CONCLUSION I THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE CREATIVE IMAGINATION Why is the human mind able to create?
26430Classifications are made according to the essential dominating attributes; but, as regards the varieties of the creative imagination, what are they?
26430Consequently, is it not paradoxical to relate it to plastic imagination, as species to genus?
26430Dare we hold that hypochondria and insanity following upon the delirium of persecution are devoid of imagination?
26430Difficulties of the subject.--The degree of imagination in animals.--Does creative synthesis exist in them?
26430Do not people discuss seriously the objective value of certain myths, and of metaphysical theories?
26430Does experimentation, strictly so called, teach us anything on this point?
26430First of all, do all representations include motor elements?
26430Flechsig''s theory.--Physiological conditions: are they cause, effect, or accompaniment?
26430Greatness is altogether a relative idea; and would not our great creators seem, to beings better endowed than we, very small?
26430Has it not often been said that the religion of one is superstition to another, and_ vice versâ_?
26430Has the creative power of the human mind also analogous antecedents, a physiological equivalent?
26430Have not psychologists distinguished, according as one or another of image- groups preponderates, visual, auditory, motor and mixed types?
26430Have they inspired myths?
26430He was so absorbed in the matter that he did not notice a man coming toward him, and at the question,''M......, if you please--?''
26430Here is an idea_ A_; it is the center of a network; it can radiate in all directions--_B, C, D, E, F, etc._ Why does it call up now_ B_, later_ F_?
26430How are we to determine these varieties?
26430How draw a dividing line so as to assign to the imagination only its rightful share?
26430How many creators have been wrecked because the conditions necessary for their inventions were lacking?
26430How may we rightly assert that a form of imaginative life is clearly pathologic?
26430If, for example, some lower type had the power of arresting pain, how could it lose it?
26430In conclusion, I anticipate a possible question:"Does the unconscious factor differ in nature from the two others( intellectual and emotional)?"
26430In passing, let us put the opposite question, Why is one_ not_ imaginative?
26430In short, should we look for his representative character within him or without?
26430In what respect does this mode of creation differ from others, at least in the practical order?
26430Is a psychology of great inventors possible?
26430Is association by resemblance, which Wundt calls internal, strictly speaking, an elementary law?
26430Is it based on a special structure in the brain, or rather on special irritability?
26430Is it only a superficial likeness, a hasty judgment, a metaphor, or does it rest on some positive basis?
26430Is it psychological?
26430Is it purely physiological?
26430Is it useful or hurtful?
26430Is not the way clear and is it not well enough to go in this direction?
26430Is the stick that he bestrides perfectly identified with a horse?
26430Is there a connection between the development of the generative function and that of the imagination?
26430Is there a"seat"of the imagination?
26430Is there not an art frankly and deliberately pessimistic?
26430Is this sometimes found in the animal kingdom?
26430Judging from this, how refuse them invention altogether?
26430Let us now study the psychology of this creative activity, reducing it to these two questions: How are myths formed?
26430May the type of imagination, the chief manifestations of which we have just enumerated, be considered as identical with the idealistic imagination?
26430Need we mention the Middle Age practice of charms, which even in our day still has adherents among cultured people?
26430Plato and More-- would they have wished to realize their dreams?
26430Shall we say that it is"instinctive,"consequently unconscious?
26430Then they have been led to ask: Which of these two elements is the primitive one?
26430There are some associations based on contiguity and on resemblance which one may foresee, but how about the rest?
26430They are helpers of inspiration.--Is there any analogy between physical and psychic creation?
26430This method aside, since the determination must be made according to the individuality of the architect, what method shall we follow?
26430This much admitted, let us return to our special question, which Flechsig asks in these words:"On what does genius rest?
26430To begin with, is it necessarily inherent in the human mind?
26430To keep even to esthetic creation, is it necessary to recall the saying_ facit indignatio versum_?
26430Was Sully''s child, that showed its doll a series of engravings to choose from, completely deceived?
26430We might just as well ask why does man have eyes and not an electric apparatus like the torpedo?
26430We shall try later( in the Conclusion) to answer the question,_ Why_ is one imaginative?
26430What business has this affectation this morning in a classic and dull building, in a common environment of poor workmen?
26430What could he accomplish?
26430What does it produce in the practical, esthetic, scientific, moral, social, religious field?
26430What is superstition?
26430What line does their evolution follow?
26430What more have poets and artists done?
26430What more then is needed?
26430What then shall we do with the emotional geniuses-- the poets and artists?
26430What theory was more clinging, more fascinating in its applications, than that of phlogiston?
26430What, indeed, could it be?
26430Whence, then, comes this persistent and in some respects seductive idea that creation is an instinctive result?
26430Where does it begin, and where does it end?
26430Where, indeed, find more favorable conditions for knowing it?
26430Which is the chief process here?
26430Who created those legends and tales of adventure constituting the subject- matter of mythology?
26430Who does not know of Newton''s apple, Galileo''s lamp, Galvani''s frog?
26430Who does not know the symbolism of the cathedrals, and the vagaries to which it has given rise?
26430Why are people inclined to believe that our present subject, if not entirely foreign to the imagination, is only an impoverished form of it?
26430Why does a man create?
26430Why does he perceive changes of odors but not magnetic changes?
26430Why does he perceive directly sounds but not the ultra- red and ultra- violet rays?
26430Why is one called up rather than another, and at such a moment rather than at another?
26430Why, then, the view above mentioned?
26430Why?
26430Would it be improper to consider as a variety of the genus a mode of representation that could be expressed as_ clearness in simplicity_?
26430Would it be possible?
26430Yet is it not the mother of phantoms, of numberless superstitions, of altogether irrational and chimerical religious practices?
26430[ 39] Has not chorea itself been called a muscular insanity?
26430that is, according to our present notions, on chemical factors?
26430the action of a novel or drama as though it were a matter of real events?
26430the character of the_ dramatis personae_ as though they were living flesh and blood?
26430which is a slightly different question from that usually asked,"Are there tribes totally devoid of religious thoughts?"
38134But shall I not return?
38134Can you tell us naught? 38134 Do you wish to know what stands in the way of our coming to the rescue?
38134We know a little of the hither, can we know aught of the thither world?
38134A great many people appear to be able to, why should not I?
38134And now, shall I branch out in a tale of strange adventure?
38134And what, if anything, is there in it to dread?
38134And who can describe the healing power of music under a master''s hand?
38134And why so?
38134Are there any special credits that you claim which seem never to have been acknowledged?
38134But now another question: Do I see with the lens which is a part of my eye?
38134By their conduct they seem to say, What is death more than a mere journey to another country?
38134CHAPTER V. Is there any common ground on which science and religion meet?
38134Can we never know your secret till, in the dust, we lay down our bones with yours?"
38134Can you possibly gain it by setting foot on religion itself?
38134Do I see it now_ with the lens_?
38134Do you think it impossible that such an experience could come to any one who should afterwards recover life to describe it?
38134Does any accusation lie against you?
38134Does it seem absurd to say that, in order to study life, a man must die?
38134Does that constitute a part of the hearing power of a man?
38134Does the spirit respond in anger?
38134For instance, take this passage from one of the magazines:"But what does the work of higher criticism really mean?
38134Have you ever been in the presence of a man who could fairly be said to_ embody_ religion?
38134Have you not two kinds of consciousness, one of the world and all it contains, and one of personal existence in its various relations?
38134He consents, for why should he not?
38134How about the ear itself?
38134How much of this is true of man as an individual?
38134How proceed in such a case?
38134How shall he get free?
38134I grant you that it seems so, but would discussion settle it?
38134I might take my stand here, but prefer to go one step further, and put a question: What were those emotions?
38134If death does not mean a loss of consciousness necessarily, what is its distinguishing feature as compared with life?
38134If death, then, is not annihilation, nor the mere passing from one kind of life into another, what is it?
38134If it does, what is the necessity of the auditory nerve?
38134If so, what have you to say in regard to it?
38134If so, what is the nature of it?
38134In the society of what people, or what class of people, are you content?
38134Is it not all a dream?
38134Is it not evident that the thought of death in that case must borrow blackness and mystery of a kind that does not pertain to it?
38134Is it not time the door was opened?
38134Is not that also merely an aid to vision?
38134Is there anything you wish to confess?
38134Is there no need?
38134Is there no voice from the sepulchre?
38134Is there not some way by which I can take the free- and- easy course and yet incur no penalty?
38134Is this experience, do you think, any less to be dreaded by a selfish spirit than is death by a mortal who is consciously not ready?
38134Just what are its relations to me, and what are mine to a future life?
38134Just where do you belong?
38134Now, if the world of things had thus vanished, what could remain?
38134Or a sà © ance, what is it more than a telephone office?
38134Shall I seek to convey to my readers what led to those experiences which have so isolated me in thought?
38134Shall I try to tell you, from the standpoint of experience, what death is?
38134Should I go ahead and trust to luck, and expect to get the compound just the same as though I followed the directions?
38134The laws of conduct less rigid than the laws of chemistry?
38134The question I seem called upon to answer is, How can a man be alive and dead at the same time?
38134The question may be asked, Wherein lies the difference between man the unit, and the race which is an aggregation of these units?
38134The question, What were Franklin''s emotions when signing the Declaration of Independence?
38134To what concealment do you claim a right?
38134WHICH WAY, SIRS, THE BETTER?
38134We gather but little from the platform; what can we learn from the grave?
38134What are its relations to present facts?
38134What are they?
38134What can I do to prove it?
38134What do you have to do anyhow?"
38134What does he do?
38134What is the most striking difference between that world and this one?
38134What is this resignation like?
38134What is to be done?
38134What kind of reasoning can be weaker than this?
38134What know they who are robed in shrouds?
38134What new device for entrapping the elusive dollar shall I conjure up to- day?"
38134What philosophical difference is possible?
38134What right have I to complain if they have done with me, by their superior power and foresight, what I have tried to do with them?
38134What shall this state be compared to?
38134What would the science of chemistry amount to if such a thing were possible?
38134Where can I obtain clear light on the subject?
38134Who are you?
38134Who has arrested my current of thought?
38134Why do authors speak of a_ cold_ greeting, of_ walls_ of reserve,_ rivers_ of kindness, or the_ sunshine_ of love?
38134Why not try for them?
38134Why?
38134Why?
38134You are ready to believe it for the material, why not accept it in the spiritual?
38134You will recognize the principle involved in this, but is it of universal application?
38134and how may I obtain a common- sense view of it?
38134and what do you want?"
43966Eh, Maister, did ye see that?
43966What want ye here?
43966What''s wrang wi''ye the nicht, Maggie-- what''s tae fricht ye, my lass?
43966Would you see me?
43966''Ken ye''( quo''I)''o''yon new cheese our wyfe took but frae the chessel yestreen?
43966''Rabbin,''quo''she,''fand ye are auld bane amang the cowes?''
43966''What brings Wullie hame''ee noo, and whaur''s he gaun?''
43966''What e''e d''ye see me wi''?''
43966''What in the name of wonder was that?''
43966''What''ll we do wi''the wee diel?''
43966''What''s wrang wi''the boy?''
43966''What,''( says the Lass)''am I a child yet?''
43966As the phantom carriage plunged nearer, the skipper, regaining some little of his courage, ran forwards, hailing in sailor fashion--"Where bound?
43966As to Jennet, the goodman''s daughter, he cryes to her,"Jennet Campbel, Jennet Campbel, wilt thou cast me thy belt?"
43966But did I ever say that if you would come to Innerwick and employ me that I would go all the way to Dumfries upon that errand?
43966But tell me, Coul, is it not as easy for you to write your story as it is to tell it, or to ride on-- what- is- it- you- call- him?
43966Coming up with him again, who halted all the time I sought my staff, I asked once more"Who he was?"
43966He asked me if I had considered the matter he had recommended?
43966How could I vindicate myself?
43966I enquired,"If he was the Laird of Coul, what brought him hither?"
43966I know, said he, that this is a mere evasion; but tell me if your neighbour, the laird of Thurston, will do it?
43966I then sat up in bed and called out,"Who''s there?
43966I''m gaun to send''t t''ye i''the morning, ye''re a gude neebor to me: an''hear''st thou me?
43966Quoth she,"what a widdy would thou do with my belt?"
43966Sayes she to the Minister''s wife,"Shall I do it?"
43966She asks,''How could it then be that her Bible was covered over with bloud?''
43966The Devil said to him,"Say you that?
43966The Laird had plenty, had neither wife nor a wean, sae wha cud greet?
43966The ghostly call of the night,"How long?"
43966The goodman and his wife became alarmed, while the lads and lassies ran madly about interrogating one another with''Where''s granny?''
43966The hare had observed him, and at once inquired if he would shoot his own mother?
43966They wakened him, and then he, hearing it say"Thou shalt be troubled till Tuesday,"asked,"Who gave thee a commission?"
43966Wad ye be sae good as turn the lade o''your jaw- hole anither way, as a''your foul water rins directly in at my door?
43966What made you turn half- road?''
43966What then are your demands upon me?
43966_ Ogilvie_--Pray, Coul, who informed you that I talked at that rate?
43966_ Ogilvie_--So it seems when Andrew Johnstoun inclines to ride you must serve him for a horse, as he now does you?
43966_ Ogilvie_--Well, then, what sort of body is it that you appear in, and what sort of a horse is it that you ride on that appears so full of mettle?
43966_ Q._ Alexander, where learned you that art?
43966_ Q._ But are there any alyve that was at your brothering?
43966_ Q._ But how could the silver tumbler be brought back and put in a fast- locked room?
43966_ Q._ Did any person bring the things back, or how came they back?
43966_ Q._ Did you make use of herbs as it is reported of you in order to the bringing of them back?
43966_ Q._ Did you not bring back a book of Mrs Violet''s?
43966_ Q._ Did you not mutter some words when you used these charms?
43966_ Q._ Did you not say you could cause any woman in London come down to you if but told her name?
43966_ Q._ Did you not take money for the bringing of them back?
43966_ Q._ How came the cloaths back?
43966_ Q._ How did you bring them back?
43966_ Q._ How did you make use of the herbs that you might know where they were?
43966_ Q._ What are the herbs which had that effect upon your sleep?
43966_ Q._ What are they?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not bring back all the aprons, for there is one of them awanting yet?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not bring back the mattock and other things?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not bring back the silver spoon that was lost?
43966_ Q._ Why did you not tell of the people who took away these cloaths, seeing thieves ought to be discovered for the good of the country?
43966and whar wur they gaun?
43966and where from?"
43966and"What was his business with me?"
43966how should I prove that ever you had spoken with me?
43966quoth the auld guidman;"What wad ye, whare won ye-- by sea or by lan''?
43966what are ye talkin''aboot?
43966what do you want?"
43966who owned the hay and the horses?
43966will ye not speake to me?
43966ye hae little wit; Is''tna Hallowmas now, and the crap out yet?"
46647''But how did you get the money?'' 46647 ''But you are not going away with my money, are you?''
46647''Can you give it back to me?'' 46647 ''So it is money you want?''
46647''What do you mean bythis horrible place"?
46647''Will you stay where you are until I can get some?'' 46647 But why?"
46647But, do you know? 46647 Can such things be?"
46647Did I hear_ what_?
46647Do those lines mean anything?
46647Do you mean to tell me,he demanded, looking at me incredulously and with alarm still in his face,"that you did not hear that awful groan?"
46647Do_ you_ know what has become of those tomatoes?
46647Have you been playing me a trick?
46647I said:''Who are you, and what do you want?'' 46647 In heaven''s name,"I cried,"what is it?"
46647Is this insanity?
46647Oh, no, dear,I said;"these are probably some other pansies; how can you tell they came from your bed?"
46647So you did not give them to him, after all?
46647Something very bad has happened-- do you want to tell me what it is?
46647Tell me, has anyone passed through here into my room?
46647Then what he said was true, that his mother comes back to trouble him?
46647They call it''palmistry,''do n''t they? 46647 What is it, sir?"
46647What is it?
46647What is it?
46647What on earth is the matter with those dogs?
46647What were the clothes like?
46647Where did you find it?
46647Why do you come to me?
46647Why, no,her friend replied;"how could anyone?
46647Why,she exclaimed,"how did these come here?
46647''Do you need it now?''
46647''Is n''t that enough?''
46647( naming the Liberal clergyman and writer whom most of us had known in Boston, and who had died some five or six years before)"Why, is that you?
46647--"And from where?"
46647--I echoed her words:--"How do you know it is Deeming''s mother?"
46647And how had it been extracted from the locked box inside the locked dressing table?
46647And then, the dogs:--do you think_ they_ were dreaming, too?"
46647Are you sure you were not dreaming?"
46647But what happened then?"
46647But why had he wished to sell it, and what help could he hope to gain thereby?
46647Ca n''t you see that we want to talk?"
46647Ca n''t_ you_ see her?"
46647Do you remember that rhinestone brooch in the shape of a butterfly you bought for me one evening in Paris, four years ago?"
46647Do you see_ that_?"
46647Here is my question:--What is your opinion of Deeming?"
46647How can I give these coins to you?''
46647I commented upon this circumstance to my hostess, who replied:--"Yes, it is very early for them, is it not?
46647I cried;''are you Deeming?''
46647I exclaimed, interrupting the recital for the first time:"was_ that_ what he said?"
46647I exclaimed:--"It was Deeming?--and he asked you to buy_ soap_?"
46647I exclaimed;"what about the dogs?"
46647I exclaimed;"what are those dogs doing here?
46647I have always believed the stories of haunted houses were bally nonsense; but in heaven''s name what does all this mean?"
46647I say-- what kind of a house_ is_ this?
46647Is that what has disturbed you to- night?"
46647Is there no significance, is there no consolation, not only to myself but to others who have been bereaved, in this episode?
46647It said:''Madame, do you want to buy some_ soap_?''"
46647It was not on the pin cushion last night; how in the world did it come here?"
46647Oh, Minnie, Minnie, what are you doing?"
46647Tell me, John Weiss, what it all means?
46647The garments from the wardrobe of the hangman; was the murderer doomed to go through all Eternity in this hideous attire?
46647The money was returned again, but had it meanwhile been entered in some misty ledger to the credit of its temporary bearer?
46647The offered sale of soap; is the occupation of"drummer"or"bagman"practiced beyond the Styx, and for what ghostly manufacturers are orders solicited?
46647Was it for the toilette or the laundry?
46647Was the soap a sample?
46647What are you doing here, and what does this mean?
46647What could he mean by offering to sell me soap?"
46647What do you mean?"
46647What does she bother me so for?
46647What was its price per cake, and was there any discount by the box?
46647Why ca n''t she leave me alone?"
46647Why do n''t the band play?"
46647Why have you done so?''
46647Why should you distress me as you do?''
46647You ca n''t see her?
46647exclaimed Mrs. Candler,"what in the world is the matter?
46647he cried;"did you hear_ that_?"
46647stammered my companion:--"did you hear it_ then_?"
46647we inquired;"an apparition?"
61807Are there any spirits present?
61807When will it?
61807Will the spirit please to explain why it will not rap upon the table?
61807Will the spirit please to rap now?
61807Will the spirit please to rap now?
61807Will the spirit please to rap?
61807Will the spirit rap here?
61807Will the spirit_ please_ to rap upon the table?
61807Will the spirits please to tip the table?
61807A new fluid, forsooth?
61807Are these the fruits of legitimate and holy deeds?
61807Are these your consolations while at your spiritual shrines?
61807Are you not ministering encouragement to her hagship, and pursuing her very vocation, though under another name?
61807Are you, Christian man or woman, one whit better for these doings than that woman with the familiar spirits, the Witch of Endor?
61807DO SPIRITS WEAR PETTICOATS_ and long dresses_?
61807Do you think that rappings and table- tippings give respectability to witchcraft?
61807Does any one suppose that Arago ever entertained for a moment the idea of electrical action in this connection?
61807Has a spirit_ bones, muscles, fingers, heels, toes, and sticks_?
61807Has a"spirit flesh and blood?"
61807His testimony was confirmed by several others, all witnesses of the highest respectability, and what was it all worth?
61807If these pests of society are beyond the reach of earthly tribunals, will you countenance and encourage their career?
61807Is it this?
61807Is not this the inference, the inevitable conclusion?
61807Mr. F.,& c.""We think it hard to impugn such testimony, and why should not their word in this matter go as far as yours?"
61807Mr.*** propounded as follows: Will the spirit inform us of the spirit the gentleman is thinking of?
61807One of my scientific friends then asked if they would not rap if they were suspended in a swing, or stood upon a pillow?
61807Or were they far away on some errand of duty, or busy and monopolized for some_ special tippings_ elsewhere?
61807Ought we not to infer that the paper and the ruler were pushed by the hand, since the hands followed them in their motion?
61807Perhaps her mother saw this, for she rose from her seat and said,"You are not tricking, now?"
61807Pointing to a name with a pencil, he asked, Is it this?
61807Shall eternity be made subordinate to time; the immortal to the mortal?
61807Shall it be said then that the Almighty is capable of trifling?
61807Shall we be met here with the assertion that there are religious maniacs, that religious excitement makes madmen, and leads to deeds of violence?
61807Spirits, do you say?
61807Spirits, rapping upon doors, floors, and tables, upsetting tables and swinging them about the room?
61807The rappers were then sitting some distance from the table, and we asked if the"Spirits would rap upon the table?"
61807Were the spirits present, and not disposed to gratify a certain class of_ dilettanti_ who were present?
61807Were they jesting and teazing, or in bad humor with our persons, our fixtures, or our espionage?
61807What could have been the cause of this abortive conjuration?
61807Will it inform us correctly?
61807Without claiming any depth in biblical lore, we ask them where is the authority for any such conclusion in the Bible?
61807[ 1] Are you not rather her disciple?
61807_ A new power?_ It is a lawful subject of pursuit, to the very exhaustion of mental resources.
61807_ A new power?_ It would frustrate his schemes in their very inception.
61807a nervous force that acts exterior to, and independent of, its own tenement and rightful fulcrum?
61807and is she not held up to you for an example and a warning?
61807and what is all other testimony worth upon this_ aerial vaulting_ of tables?
61807or that it should be the great reservoir of electricity, magnetism,"_ new fluid_,""_ od_,"or what not?
61807that propels masses heavier than the_ body corporate_, without rending the latter in twain?
8554Ah, my lord,said the wise Cineas,"what prevents our being in peace and comfort now?"
8554And after that?
8554And what will you do next, my lord?
8554And when we have conquered all we can, what shall we do?
8554But do the effects of poison_ always_ pass away? 8554 But has science established everything?
8554Can you prove that it is_ not_ in my lung?
8554Do? 8554 How much in English money?"
8554I do n''t know anything about that; how much is it in English?
8554What is existence?
8554What_ are_ you doing?
8554_ Ca n''t_ you see that I am busy?
8554And can you_ prove_ that they have passed away in my case?
8554And if it had, is such negative evidence to be weighed against the positive evidence of the sensation in my lung?"
8554And whom call you the unsound doubter?
8554But the doubter who finds himself in this predicament adds to these legitimate doubts the question,"Ought I to have accepted the office?"
8554But what of their effect upon the already over- conscientious and self- exacting child?
8554Does he enjoy it?
8554Doubt as well?
8554How shall he start in?
8554How shall we set to work to acquire a fad, without special opportunity or education, and with but little time at our disposal?
8554How, then, if being lame thou canst not mount up on the battlement alone, but with the help of another it is possible?
8554If I enter a strange shop and find they desire security, need I take this as a reflection on_ my_ credit?
8554Is he fit for the position, or, if not, can he acquire the fitness without detriment to the office?
8554Is he insane?
8554Is it not rather egotistic for me to suppose that others are vitally interested in the fact that I blush, tremble, or am awkward?
8554Is it worth my while to fret during those three days and to make it up by being elated on the fourth?
8554Is not the sensation positive evidence, since you have allowed that you can not prove that the sensation does_ not_ come from the poison?"
8554It can not be said that he toils not, but to what end?
8554Or, as someone has said, why not"make friends with the weather?"
8554Regarding senseless fears he counsels:"What need is there of suspicious fear, since it is in thy power to inquire what ought to be done?
8554Say to yourself,"Why tired and cross?
8554Shall he resign or continue?
8554Suppose agin she should n''t?''"
8554Suppose, in fact, the doubter has made a mistake; how shall he banish the worry?
8554WHY WORRY?
8554What to it are nuggets and millions''?
8554Where are my weapons?
8554Why not occupy my thoughts more profitably than in rehearsing the varied features of this unavoidable annoyance?
8554Why not occupy myself with something else and leave the weather for those who have no other resource?
8554Why not simply drop the worry and the doubt without further argument?
8554Why not tired and good- natured?"
8554Why not try this every day?
8554Why should we not treat our minds as well as our bodies?
8554Why then should I allow my conduct to be influenced by such trivial matters?
8554Why worry?"
8554he answered,''No, I do n''t; where would be the use of that?''"
13407Among such phenomena,he asks,"how can we draw the line of demarkation, and say,''Here the physical ends, and there the physiological begins''?
13407''But,''you ask,''beyond all of this of which you have told me, what is there-- what is the Centre of it All?''
13407( But where is what I started for so long ago?
13407And if so, what information can you give regarding them?
13407And in our bodies is the Will at work?
13407And where can such a power be located if not in the form itself?
13407And why is it yet unfound?)"
13407And, how does It create?
13407Are you doing this with your reason or with your personal will?
13407But then you cry,''But what am I-- poor mortal thing-- lost among all this inconceivable greatness?''
13407But then, you ask us, from whence comes Force, Matter, and Finite Mind?
13407But what is the Centre?
13407But_ are_ they lost?
13407Can anyone really believe this of The Absolute-- playing like a child, with men and women, worlds and suns, as Its blocks and tin- soldiers?
13407Can it be Matter?
13407Can the germ think, and plan, and move, and grow into a chicken?
13407Can we conceive the Infinite Being as exercising the finite faculty of"dreaming"--is not this childish?
13407Can you accept it?
13407Can you not see the Will behind the curtain here?
13407Can you think of Energy apart from material manifestation?
13407Did you do it with your intellect?
13407Did you never"lose yourself"in thought, or"forget yourself"in an idea?
13407Do you grasp this idea?
13407Do you know just what this Self- Consciousness is, and how it differs from the Physical Consciousness of the lower animals?
13407Do you see the absurdity?
13407Do you see the difference?
13407Do you see the nature of the Final Question?
13407Do you see this plainly?
13407Do you see this?
13407Does not Metempsychosis give us the only possible key?
13407Does not all advanced research show us that in all Matter and Energy there are evidences of the operation of this"Something like Mind"?
13407Does not all this Teaching seem to you like the repetition of some lesson learned long ago?
13407Does not your mind leap ahead of the lesson, and see what is coming next, long before you have turned the pages?
13407Does the leaf feel less important and real from this discovery?
13407Extension of what?
13407From whence could come such an action- causing Desire?
13407From whom did Plato derive his wonderful thought?
13407From whom did Shakespeare inherit his genius?
13407Has not every bit of it been done without your conscious knowledge?
13407Have you ever been foolish enough to open your soul to the crowd, and have it reveal the sacred Truth that rests there?
13407Have you ever committed the folly of throwing spiritual pearls to material swine?
13407Have you ever known of such a thing?
13407Have you ever looked up its origin and real meaning, as given by the standard authorities?
13407Have you not found yourself placed where you unexpectedly were made the bestower of favors upon some almost unknown persons?
13407Have you not spoken of yourself as having been"wrapped in thought?"
13407How did the plant know direction?
13407How do the buzzards float in the air, and make speed without a motion of the wing?
13407How is it that certain birds are able to fly directly against a strong wind, without visible movement of their wings?
13407How, and Why?
13407How?
13407I said to myself,''What is this?
13407I:"Is this annihilation, as some think?
13407If there is any power not from and of the One, from whence comes such power, for there is nothing else outside of the One?
13407In the first place, what"experience"could be gained by the Absolute and Infinite One?
13407Is it Matter?
13407Is it not like remembering something already learned, rather than the learning of some new truth?
13407Is not this Speculative Metaphysics run wild?
13407Is not this as childish as the childishness of the savage, and barbarians, in their Mumbo- Jumbo conceptions?
13407Let us begin by a consideration of what has been called the"Questions of Questions"--the question:"What is Reality?"
13407Manifesting in various forms, as the diamond, graphite, coal, protoplasm-- is it not entitled to respect?
13407Now what causes this life action?
13407Now what is this tendency?
13407Of what can the Substance of the Infinite be composed?
13407Or is the Will at work there?
13407Passing on to the higher animal life-- how do eggs grow into chickens?
13407Pure Energy?
13407QUESTION 1:_"Are there any Brotherhoods of Advanced Occultists in existence, in harmony with the Yogi Teachings?
13407QUESTION III:"_ Does the Yogi Philosophy teach that there is a place corresponding to the''Heavens''of the various religions?
13407QUESTION V:"_ What is that which Occultists call''an Astral Shell,''or similar name?
13407Space?
13407Surely this looks like"Life,"does it not?
13407The Infinite All could not become anything more than It already was-- so why the wish for expression?
13407The immediate force may seem to be a mechanical force, but what is back of that force-- what is the essence of the force?
13407Then how can this work of Creation be accomplished, in view of these difficulties which are apparent even to our finite minds?
13407Then is it Pure Energy?
13407Then this"substance"must be Mind?
13407Then what is Real about ME, you may ask-- surely I have a vivid consciousness of Reality-- is this merely an illusion, or shadow?
13407Then who else than the Infinite caused the Illusion, and why the necessity?
13407Then, is it Force or Energy?
13407To define a thing is to identify it with something else-- and where is the something else with which to identify the Infinite?
13407To what end would such a wish tend?
13407To what state or place does The Path lead?
13407Well may it say to us:"Hast thou been so long time with me, and hast thou not known me?"
13407Well, after a time Duhamel shook the dirt and growing beans out of the cylinder, and what did he find?
13407Well, what is this"substance"of the Absolute?
13407Were you not attracted to these studies, in the first place, by a feeling that you had known it all before, somewhere, somehow?
13407What built you up from single cell to maturity?
13407What could It expect to gain and learn, that it did not already know and possess?
13407What does it all mean?
13407What gives you the greatest Satisfaction and Content in Life?
13407What have we done?
13407What have we really done?
13407What is the explanation of the movements of certain microscopic creatures who lack organs of movement?
13407What is the power in the germ of the egg?
13407What would be accomplished or gained?
13407Which is the greater"miracle"--the Moneron or Man?
13407Who has not been seized at times with the consciousness of a mighty"oldness"of soul?
13407Who has not experienced the consciousness of having_ felt the thing before_--_having thought it some time in the dim past?
13407Who has not gazed at some old painting, or piece of statuary, with the sense of having seen it all before?
13407Who has not had these experiences-- we ask_?
13407Who has not met persons for the first time, whose presence awakened memories of a past lying far back in the misty ages of long ago?
13407Who has not witnessed new scenes that appear old, very old?
13407Who or what exists outside of the One that can manifest even the faintest degree of power of any kind?
13407Whose force, energy, power and motion?
13407Why should the Infinite"play"?--does It need amusement and"fun"like a child?
13407Why?
13407Why?
13407Why?
13407Willis:"But what a mystery this erring mind?
13407what''s that?
30556Are you still awake?
30556Did your mother perhaps in your childhood come to look after you with the light?
30556Do you think for a moment that I would bear a grudge against the little innocent worm? 30556 Go, get some water, And wash this filthy witness from your hand.-- Why did you bring these daggers from the place?
30556Had you at that time a great desire to play the piano?
30556Is there anything more charming than this sixteen year old little house mother in her housekeeping activities?
30556So? 30556 What do you say of imprisonment and ill foreboding?
30556You huzzy,said he,"you might well see your three- legged stool in the sky, not?
30556''Are you looking at me?''
30556''Dreamed-- dreamed-- oh Soelver, what have I dreamed?
30556''Gro, why do you never look at me?''
30556''Is not tonight my bridal night?
30556''Now I shall be Mamma; Charles, do you want some more vegetables?
30556--"Consciously or in a dream?"
30556--"Did you not perhaps have the wish that your mother should look at her sick child in the night, as she once did when you were younger?"
30556--"Did you think that you were indeed not a human being?"
30556--"Did your mother call you, or did you come of yourself?"
30556--"Do you see also in phantasy something that hangs down?"
30556--"How is that?"
30556--"How is that?"
30556--"I have remonstrated rather seriously mother call you, or did you come of yourself?"
30556--"No, my girl, you have too much imagination, which is bad for science.--What else do you see?"
30556--"Of whom did he remind you?"
30556--"To whom?"
30556--"What about the warden of the prison?"
30556--"What... you not well?
30556--"You say''thou''[ du] to me?"
30556--''And you see me?''
30556--''And you will stay with me?''
30556--''Are you afraid of me?''
30556--''Do you see me with your cheek, Gro?''
30556--''How long have you loved me?''
30556--''No, no-- why should I be afraid?
30556--''Why have you not said so, Gro?''
30556--How is that?"
30556--I believe that my mother call you, or did you come of yourself?"
30556--What name to call her?"
30556About the same time my sisters often sang the well- known song:''What sort of a wry face are you making, oh Moon?''
30556After I had said to myself for a long time''What, what?''
30556Am I asleep or am I awake?
30556And how had he been able to command the virgin love fed by her slumber?
30556And then in the second place, What value and significance must be attributed to the moon and its light?
30556And when a bird flew by, she"flushed red at her own thought; was that a message sent forth by her desire?
30556And you do not flee from me?"
30556And you will still recognize me?
30556Boiling things, like in our copper kettles?
30556But how could Soelver have been the guest of her dreams?
30556But what lay specially at the foundation of her earlier wandering, when no man had yet made an impression upon her?
30556Could not a similar thought process have taken place with Maria?
30556Elector and electress, and-- who is the third?
30556Funny thing, slept badly?
30556Have you been seeking the moon calves?
30556Have you nothing to say yet?"
30556How did it appear at this time to her, herself?
30556How is it now since she loves Eisener?
30556How is it then that the night''s rest, the guarding of which is always the goal of the dream, is motorially broken through in sleep walking?
30556I always said to myself:''What, what then?
30556I can only reply to this apparently justified phantasies of childhood?"
30556In my twenty- ninth year I was awakened from a night wandering by the question, What did I want?
30556In"Julius Cæsar,"Brutus murders his fatherly friend, his mother''s beloved("And thou too, my son Brutus?").
30556Is anything the matter?"
30556Is not this behavior of the youth burning with desire peculiarly strange?
30556Is this merely because the father is indissolubly bound with them?
30556Joern agreed with him:"What will we come to, if the folk increase like that?
30556Know you not then that I am of my free will Sten Basse''s guest?"
30556Macbeth( alone):"Will all great Neptune''s ocean wash this blood Clean from my hand?
30556Marry now?
30556Marry?
30556More difficult seems to me the answer to the second main question: What influence does the moon exercise upon the sleeper?
30556Must I have dreamed-- an oppressive, frightful dream?
30556Must not the inner meaning of all her sleep walking lie exactly in these two points, in which she has so completely turned about?
30556Must not this hand, which causes this"horrible suffering"to the youth who had never yet known trouble, have touched his genitals?
30556My friend and beloved brother, I fear what your look would draw from me-- what would you drag out from my soul?''
30556Now he meets old Dreier who gives him good advice:"How old are you?
30556Only the princess''s glove recalls to him what has happened in his sleep:"What is this dream so strange that I have dreamed?
30556Or was there perhaps one, in relation to whom sexuality is most strongly forbidden, her own father?
30556She thinks wonderingly,"Whom is it he thus names?"
30556She was astonished at the masses on it:"What are those?
30556Should he let Gro sleep until day woke her and she saw herself in his arms?
30556Since she could not yet entirely believe she asked,"Is it indeed you, Justin?
30556Suddenly I heard my mother''s voice,''Mizzi, where are you?''
30556Suddenly my brother, the one who is well, with whom I do not have much to do, asked,''What are you thinking of?''
30556The false report has come that the elector father has been shot and Natalie laments,"Who will protect us from this world of foes?"
30556The moon''s disk= the woman''s body?
30556Twenty- four?
30556Was it dream or reality, which he saw when he opened his eyes?
30556Was this also a dream?
30556What could this mean except that Maria now seemed big to him as once the mother had seemed to the small boy?
30556What do you know of my dreams?
30556What does it teach us for the understanding of moon walking?
30556What drove Poldl so to the priestly calling, what made him so intent upon it?
30556What had produced this sudden turn about?
30556What had so thrown her out of her course?
30556What if behind it there is fixed a memory perhaps of a scene with the mother, who brought him to his senses by seizing his arm?
30556What if her erotic desire toward him was repressed and the indifference which she had attained was transferred over to all men?
30556What lay in truth behind that unattainable goal that Kleist tried again and again to carry by force?
30556What now?
30556What truth is there in these viewpoints?
30556What was this?
30556When Macbeth announces,"Duncan comes here to- night,"she asks sinisterly,"And when goes hence?"
30556When she questioned her nurse and the latter finally put it to her,"Have you spent no night under the same roof with Soelver?"
30556Where, how and why?''
30556Who has called out this way?''
30556Who lately had arrived at our encampment?"
30556Who was her child''s father?
30556Why do all the memories of her childhood turn from her, if she actually knows herself guiltless?
30556Why however does not the ruthless Macbeth live down the murder of the king as he does in the history?
30556Why instead is he urged forth and driven to wander about and engage in all sorts of complicated acts?
30556Why run away from me?"
30556Why run away from me?"
30556Why then the father''s acquiescence?
30556Why was this stranger here near her, the man whom her dead father had tortured and derided?
30556Will you be able to sleep?"
30556Yet how does the child reach such a depth of depravity as to wish his parents dead?
30556Yet what does this say?

30556phantasies of childhood?
23820Are you rich? 23820 Can anything that it sends be amiss?
23820Can man by searching find out God?
23820Can the divine will err?
23820Do we not all wish that we could live our lives over again in the light of our present experience?
23820How shall I seem to love my people?
23820Out of politics, triumphs, battles, life, what at last finally remains? 23820 Seek you,"said a devout Catholic priest,"the secret of union with God?
23820What is the happy life?
23820What shall it profit a man,He well said,"if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
23820You desire to''serve humanity,''do you?
23820''Where are you?''
23820Again, are the daily occurrences of life pre- destined?
23820All over the state the tourist is asked,"Have you seen Greeley?
23820All that made life worth the living has been inexplicably withdrawn; and how, then, shall he live?
23820And how?
23820And so the question comes,--What do they mean?
23820And the remedy lies,--where?
23820And what is the life of the spirit?
23820And_ why_ shall he live?
23820But is gold the test of success?
23820But what is humanity?
23820But what is it to live?
23820Can he be happy if he has lost all his worldly goods?
23820Can he be happy if he has lost all his worldly goods?
23820Can its infinite value be increased by the paltry difference of time, place, or circumstance?
23820Can not even denial and defeat be held as developing qualities that might otherwise lie latent?
23820Can the individual be happy, he will ask, when all that made happiness is taken away?
23820Can the individual be happy, he will ask, when all that made happiness is taken away?
23820Can we not relate our consciously intelligent life to our unconscious spiritual life?
23820Can you forsake it for abstract literature?"
23820Catholic or Protestant,--what matters it so that one who listens may hear the word?
23820Comprising: WHAT LACKS THE SUMMER?
23820Do not the interruptions assume a new form, and are they not, thereby, transfigured into glad and golden opportunity?
23820Do thoughts register themselves magnetically on the air, and is this magnetic writing perceived, unconsciously, by one sensitive to it?
23820Does it lose this power by the change called death?
23820Does not the environment change with the life in a corresponding evolutionary process?
23820Does one prefer to go down hill into some dark ravine or deep mountain gorge?
23820Does the gate of possibilities, does the door of opportunity close with this brief mortal life?
23820Does the road wind up hill?
23820Does the vibration of the spoken word linger in the place where it is uttered?
23820For himself alone, what does he want that money, mere money, can buy?
23820For is not the underlying and fundamental truth this: that all is spirit?
23820Has one been wronged, or misrepresented, or in any way injured?
23820Have you eyes to find the five Which five hundred did survive?
23820Here are an array of interruptions, but why not give them another name-- that of opportunities?
23820Heretofore poet and prophet have always questioned despondently,--"Does the road wind up hill all the way?"
23820How does this occur?
23820How far do we make our own life?
23820How far is it made for us?
23820How is he to endure it?
23820How is he to go on, living his life, in all this pain, perplexity, trial, or annoyance, much less to"glory"in this atmosphere of tribulation?
23820How shall the perfect spiritual supremacy be established?
23820If one encounters disaster or great personal sorrow, what then?
23820If psychological only, what does that mean?
23820If the physical universe can be so increasingly explored, shall not the spiritual universe be also penetrated by the spiritual powers of man?
23820If this be true of resignation, what shall be said of tribulation,--of glorying in tribulation?
23820If this deduction is true-- what then?
23820Instead, what does the tourist see?
23820Is every life just that which it is made?
23820Is it a physical process going on in some physical medium or ether connecting the two brains?
23820Is it a primary physiological function of the brain, or is it primarily psychological?
23820Is it not this which is set before us in the progress of spirituality?
23820Is it not, after all, composed of individuals?
23820Is it not, then, true that a life really belongs to the environment it creates for himself, rather than to that in which it is first nurtured?
23820Is not the life more than meat?
23820Is not the next step in scientific progress to be into the invisible and the unknown?
23820Is there no Roentgen ray that will pierce the horizon of the future and disclose to us what lies beyond?
23820Is there not, then, a need for the gospel of one''s own endeavor?
23820Is this power only inherent in the physical structure?
23820Is this"The Country God Forgot"?
23820Is thought, itself, photographed on the ether?
23820Just how shall one be well and keep well?
23820Just what is the explanation?
23820May they not teach the divinest lesson of all,--the one most invaluable to human life,--absolute trust in God?
23820Might not one, with profit, dwell for a moment upon this statement?
23820Nor what indeed is more reasonable, more perfect, more divine, than the will of God?
23820Nothing could withstand its consuming power.... And what makes this stupendous force?
23820Now how are we to pluck out the heart of the mystery?
23820Now the scientific question is: From whence did this impression proceed?
23820Now,--always provided that there is full conviction of immortality,--why should it be wrong to seek his companionship or counsel from the unseen life?
23820One asks for them-- and they do not come?
23820Or does there work, under all our human will and endeavor, a force resistless as gravitation and as constant as attraction?
23820Or is he the product of his environment?
23820Shall Phillips Brooks, the friend and helper and wise counsellor when here, be less so now that he has entered into the next higher scale of being?
23820Shall he do it?
23820Shall not one rejoice and recognize that the need of another is brought as a privilege to himself?
23820Shall we not enter to- day into the very joy of the Lord?
23820Shall we not enter to- day into this kingdom of heaven which is at hand?
23820Shall you make his life and your own a burden with complaint and reproach?
23820Should not the minister break off his morning meditation-- an abstract thing, at best-- to see me, who needs an immediate infusion of encouragement?"
23820Strictly speaking, perhaps, no one of these has any real right to thus tax the time and energy of a stranger; but is there not another side to it?
23820The cry of certain reformers(?)
23820The problem, then, becomes that of bringing the psychical body into this receptive relation to the physical self?
23820The question confronts one as a very determining problem in life,--can man control his circumstances?
23820Then what remains?
23820To go deeper still, can he create them?
23820To see the future as clearly as we see the past, what does it require?
23820To what extent should he yield to the"devastator of the day"?
23820Was all this series of events-- trifles of no importance in themselves, but very curious in their combination-- foreordained?
23820Was his life thereby a failure?
23820Was it a clairvoyant reading of the letter that was en route during the night?
23820Was it direct telepathy between the two persons concerned?
23820What has he to do with that far- away, opaque, limited environment into which he was born?
23820What is a book compared to a human soul?
23820What is distance to the spiritual being?
23820What then?
23820What then?
23820What though the bough beneath thee break?
23820What value shall I give to those transformation experiences?"
23820When shows break up what but one''s self is sure?"
23820When shows break up, what but one''s self is sure?"
23820Who can contemplate wireless telegraphy without having opened to him a range of activities and conditions undreamed of heretofore?
23820Who can decide?
23820Who has won the triumph''s evidence-- Pilate or Christ?
23820Who would relinquish a right purpose because its achievement were hard?
23820Why is it not visible?
23820Why need you choose so painfully your place, and occupation, and associates, and modes of action and of entertainment?
23820Will this theory furnish the basis for a true interpretation of telepathy?
23820Without its own sustenance from the spiritual world, how could it survive?
23820Yet where does the remedy lie?
23820Yet, is there not just here a richness of opportunity in the aim to"do good to all men"that may often be unrecognized?
23820Yet, with his personal world in ruins, what shall he do?
23820_ Would he take a message?_ Just as lief as not; had nothing else to do; would carry it in no time.
23820and if not, how was it that they were partly perceived, in the passive state of sleep, twenty- four hours before they occurred?
23820or if death has taken those nearest and dearest to him?
23820or if death has taken those nearest and dearest to him?
23820or if the separations of life, far harder to bear than those of death, have come into his experience with their almost hopeless sense of desolation?
23820or if the separations of life, far harder to bear than those of death, have come to him?
23820rich enough to help somebody?"
43346''How?'' 43346 But how,"said I,"when morning comes, shall I know that your appearance to me has been real, and not the mere representation of my own imagination?"
43346For Heaven''s sake,I exclaimed,"Lord Tyrone, by what means or for what reason came you hither at this time of night?"
43346Have you then forgotten our promise?
43346I may, then, infer that you are happy?
43346May I not ask,said I,"if you are happy?"
43346This gentleman then adjured the spirit in a variety of forms, and asked if it was not a bad spirit? 43346 What is the matter?"
43346Will not the news of my death be sufficient to convince you?
43346''Do you believe,''said I,''that Christ died to save us from sin?''
43346''Do you expect letters?''
43346''In God''s Name, what do you want, or what can I do for you?''
43346''In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,''said I,''are you the spirit of my child?''
43346''In what shape shall it be?''
43346''Well,''said a clergyman, one of the three,''I wonder, after all, if there is any future state or not?''
43346--"What of the Dead?
4334633?''
4334635.--''While your body was lying in the coffin, was anything put in the hand?
4334636.--''What was it?''
4334637.--''By whom was it put there?''
4334638.--''Who else were present at the time?''
43346:--''Where was your body buried?''
43346:--''Will you spell the name of the place where we lived when you left this state?''
43346And tell me, most potent seigniors, what is the origin of these forces?
43346And with whom resides the impulse of their action and the guidance of their control?
43346Are you a bad spirit?
43346Are you happy?
43346But still, a thoughtful mind will venture to demand whence did these atoms derive their existence?
43346By fire?
43346Can we do you any good?
43346Days?
43346Did they make them feel them?
43346Did they see them?
43346Did you know any at this table?
43346Did you live in this neighbourhood?
43346Do you mean five days?
43346Dr. Edmunds:"How were the names spelled out?"
43346Has the spirit of my child_ ever_ been put in communication with myself or her mother through this or any other table?''
43346Have you been dead years?
43346He inquired further, whether there was any of their old acquaintance in that place where he was?
43346He then asked her if she had hurt her wrist:''Have you sprained it?''
43346How could any one be afraid of me?
43346How did they know they were there?
43346How long have you been dead?
43346How many?
43346I asked,''Are you my child?''
43346I exclaimed,"and can not I prevent this?"
43346I had offered a glass of wine and water to my wife, when, on putting it to her lips, she paused and exclaimed,''Good God, what is that?''
43346I then said,''Are you from God?''
43346I then said,''In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I command you to answer-- are you from God?''
43346In how many years?
43346In the reign of her successor?
43346Is he alive or dead?
43346Is it displeasing to God?
43346Is it the woman''s spirit, or the man''s, who haunts the house?
43346Is it what the Bible calls"divination"to consult you in this way?
43346Is it wrong?
43346Is there a middle state of souls?
43346It was followed by another:--''What was the name of the person whose spirit is here?''
43346Months?
43346Shall any of us see the Last Day?
43346Similar strange phenomena occurred on this occasion likewise:--"Are you a Spirit who inhabited this earth?
43346The end of wickedness?
43346Then how did the spirits make themselves known-- by what means?
43346Was the Baptist religion true?
43346Was the man hung?
43346Was the murder found out while he lived?
43346Weeks?
43346Were you ever there?
43346What frightened them?
43346What killed the two people in the haunted room?
43346What kind of spirits?
43346What was the name of the woman?
43346Who could it have been?''
43346Who murdered her?
43346Who was murdered, a man or a woman?
43346Why do those spirits haunt that house?
43346Will Enoch and Elijah come again?
43346Will Russia conquer England?
43346Will it be in the reign of Queen Victoria?
43346Will it be partly destroyed by fire?
43346Will it be the end of the World or the end of wickedness?
43346Will that be the Millennium?
43346Will the Jews be restored?
43346Will the Last Judgment be then?
43346Will the World be destroyed by water?
43346Will the end of the World be soon?
43346Will you point them out?
43346Will you spell the true religion?
43346Will you spell your name?
43346and from what, and from whom, do they inherit the propensities wherewithal they are imbued?
43346he exclaimed at length,''am I awake or asleep, in my senses or gone mad?''

43346or''Where were_ you_ buried?''
43346repeated Sherbroke,''what can you mean?

43346said Sir Martin,''that you are so anxious for the arrival of the post?''
37203''A man-- John G.''Mr. W. asked,''How was it given to you?''
37203''Can you say what rank?'' 37203 ''Is it not whisky or rum?''
37203''Is it not wine?'' 37203 ''Very fat,''she answered;''but has the gentleman a cork leg?''

37203Does no one tell wife what to write? 37203 Does time run backward here?
37203Had Gen. Richardson, before he left home, promised or said anything to Mrs. R. as to sending his ring to her in case he should be wounded?
37203Have you arrived?
37203How is your head?
37203I replied,''Yes; is he thin or fat?'' 37203 Is it the will of a living person or of an immaterial spirit?
37203Mr. W.''We do n''t know J. G. Have you anything to do with us?'' 37203 Mrs. R. asked,''Are you a man or a woman?''
37203Now, how did I come to have my looms and driving- gear arranged in this particular way? 37203 Now, what do you think of such a vision as that?
37203Of what does he write?

37203To whom is it directed?

37203Who is dead? 37203 Whose spirit?"
37203Why the mischief have you been so late?
37203''Is that all?''
37203''Well,''I said;''how much do you want for that piece of property you wish to sell?''
37203''What do you mean by that?''
37203''What does it cost you to live?''

37203Accordingly he had to leave at once-- but before starting he said,"Where are you at this moment?"
37203Again it was asked,"Is it the operator''s brain, or an immaterial spirit that moves Planchette?
37203As Frank and the native were cross- cutting a tree, the native stopped suddenly and said,''What are you come for?''
37203Bernheim?"
37203But whence came the vision, and why to- day?
37203Can these statements be received as true and reliable?
37203Do n''t you see?
37203Do you see the picture?"
37203Does he remember who were present and what was going on?
37203Fairly studied, then, what does Planchette really do?
37203Frank replied,''What do you mean?''
37203Frank said,''Where is he?''
37203Has Hypnotism any actual standing either in science or common sense?
37203Having been received, how can they be explained?
37203How about the old pear tree?"
37203How much money do you owe?''
37203How stupid''the other one''looked while I took her apron off?
37203I had screamed and struggled, crying out,''Is he really dead?''
37203I said:"Yes; but how did you know she was here?"
37203If so, who?"
37203Is it one of my patients?"
37203Is there any possible truth in it?
37203Mr. W. asked,''What does the drawing represent?''
37203On my replying in the affirmative he said,''Can you mesmerize any one at a distance?''
37203On seeing Z. a few days afterwards I inquired,''Did anything happen at your rooms on Saturday night?''
37203Salt was first so tasted by the operator, whereupon the subject, C., instantly and loudly cried out:"What''s that salt stuff?"
37203The following experiments were also made among many others, Miss Maud Creery being the percipient:--"( 1) What town have we thought of?
37203There is inquiry concerning Telepathy or Thought- Transference-- is it a fact or is it a delusion?
37203Thinking some one might be behind the screen I said,''Who''s there?''
37203Truly what is this tenant, what are its powers, and why is it here at all?
37203We first heard a faint cry of''Mother''; we all looked up and said to one another,''Did you hear that?
37203Were you angry?
37203What are these facts which have come to the notice of students of psychology?
37203What do you want?''
37203What is her name?"
37203What is the condition of the patient while under the influence of this induced sleep?
37203What is the nature and what the method of this peculiar vision which has been named clairvoyance?
37203What next?
37203What next?
37203What of Clairvoyance, Planchette, Trance and Trance utterances, Crystal- Gazing and Apparitions?
37203What on earth has been the matter?"
37203What part did you think of first?
37203What part did you think of first?
37203What was the character of the apparitions or appearances which were presented; were they, properly speaking, dreams?
37203Where am I?"
37203Which of us is right?
37203Who is it there talking to me like that?"
37203Why did you leave so suddenly?
37203Why did you tell her that her apron was falling off?
37203Why do you look so frightened?''
37203Why should two of those present have seen his apparition, and two others have failed to see it?
37203With evident surprise he said:"What do you mean?"
37203You looked distressed, and in answer to my greeting and inquiry,''What''s the matter?''
37203said the doctor;"from what are you suffering?"

18233''I wonder why she told me not to sleep on the left side of the bed?'' 18233 ''In which category are you included?''
18233''Is it as bad as that?'' 18233 ''Is it the meaning of it you''re wanting to know?''
18233''The farmer asked,Had I never heard of what happened to the Miller of L---- Mills about forty years ago?"
18233''These?'' 18233 ''Was it a white cat, ma''am?''
18233''What do you mean?'' 18233 ''What has happened?
18233''Where did she go, James?'' 18233 ''Where?''
18233''Why the white tiger?'' 18233 An ugly sound, was n''t it?
18233And what are your deductions of the case?
18233And you feel sure she was murdered?
18233Are you sure the house is n''t haunted?
18233But why so cheap?
18233Did the matter end there?
18233Did you see the marks on the woman?
18233Do n''t you see it is as much as I can do to hold the brute in? 18233 Do you mean to say you ca n''t see a dog''s face and eyes looking straight at us?"
18233Do you mean to say,I cried,"that you can see no figure walking on my side of the horse and actually keeping pace with it?"
18233Does she often do this?
18233Everything in good condition?
18233Had Mr. Dance any dogs?
18233Has anyone ever spoken to it?
18233Have you made a discovery?
18233How could you know that?
18233How do I know? 18233 How long was he there?"
18233I understand,Mr. Baldwin responded,"but-- er-- it is rather late now; would n''t you prefer to see over it in the morning?
18233Is it always as quiet and deserted as this?
18233Jack,she said,"are you sure there''s nothing in it?

18233You have n''t got any ghosts stowed away there, have you?
18233You know Bruges?
18233''And how about the house-- is it haunted too?''
18233''Do n''t you see?
18233''How so?''
18233''Is n''t he a beauty?
18233''Is there any history attached to it?''

18233''My God, will this dream never cease?''
18233''The jackals, did you see them?
18233''What do you want?''
18233''What does it mean?''
18233''Why,''said D.,''how do you know anything about all this?
18233''You used to quibble me upon my dull wits; must I now return the compliment?
18233( Who is it?).
18233(_ Jew of Malta._)"Is it not ominous in all countries where crows and ravens croak upon trees?"
18233*****"And is that all?"
18233A coffin?
18233A small hyaena?
18233All the way back to the town I thought-- should I, or should I not, take the house?
18233And if human murderers and their victims have phantasms, why should not animals have phantasms too?
18233And the picture?
18233And was it likely that now, when my ideas were misty and vague, I should be more successful?
18233And why not?
18233And yet if neither of them had killed Anderson, who in God''s name had killed him?
18233And yet-- well, there were extenuating circumstances, were n''t there?''
18233And, Good God, what was that that was falling with it-- that huge black object?
18233And-- Anderson?
18233Are you well versed in the cry of birds?
18233As they approached, I knowing they could not get to any place other than my own, called out in Hindustani,''Quon hai?''
18233But by whom?
18233But if the astral body has been evicted from its carnal home, whither has it gone?
18233But what were the phantasms of the ape and cat?
18233But where?
18233Ca n''t we leave the house at once?''
18233Can it presage wealth or death?
18233Can you tell me, or, better still, show me, the way to some house where I can put up for the remainder of the night?''
18233Can you therefore imagine my feelings when my darling was absent one day from dinner?
18233Can your lordship spare the time to listen?''
18233Could I not intercept the figures, drive them back?
18233Dare I take a house that knew such visitors?
18233Did n''t we say so?"
18233Do you know what it is?''
18233Do you remember how you used to make me stretch mine?
18233Do you think I am a nervous, easily frightened sort of man?''
18233Drains all right?"
18233For if human tragedies are re- enacted by ghosts, why not animal tragedies too?
18233Has a cat insight into the future?
18233Has he had a fit, or what?
18233Has he left no address?"
18233He and others put this question to me:"Are you sure you were not asleep and had the nightmare?"
18233However, as space does not permit of this, I proceed to the oft- raised question,"Do animals as well as people project themselves?"
18233Hurt?
18233I believe it is-- I believe that in this psychic faculty of smell lies, in degree, the solution to the oft- asked riddle-- why is the cat uncanny?
18233I cried,"do you mean to say you can see no dog?"
18233I exclaimed simultaneously with my friends"What was that?"
18233I said,''How very stout he had become lately, and what possessed him to allow his beard to grow with that horrid fringe?''
18233I wonder if it would let me stroke it?''
18233In halcyon days like these who thinks of ghosts and death?
18233Is she all right?''
18233It was just an ordinary tree then, but now, now-- and what is that-- that sinister bundle-- suspended from one of its curling branches?
18233It was not Kitty, the grey Persian, but darker, and was it really a cat, or what?
18233May I come with you?"
18233Mr. Anderson has been murdered, and the question is-- by whom?''
18233Nothing but songs of death?"
18233Oh, Poppa, naughty Poppa, what will mum say?"
18233One of the men cried out,''Heavens, Bill, what''s that?''
18233Or may not both causes have had their effect?
18233Should Beryl-- Beryl whom I loved next best to my wife-- be torn from me even as Dick and Hal had been?
18233Tell me, what can the dying curse of a leper do?''
18233The house has been empty all that time?"
18233The old man said:"''"For many years I have known thee, M----, on this road, and have you never seen the like before on that cross?"
18233The whole Thing, but what was that Thing?
18233There was no answer, and on they came until right in front of me, when I said, in English,''Hullo, what the d----l do you want here?''
18233WHAT is it?
18233Were they the earth- bound spirits of the highwayman and his horse, or simply the spirits of two animals?
18233What could it be?
18233What did it all mean?
18233What is it?"
18233What sort of noises were they?''
18233What was hiding there?
18233What was it?
18233What was it?
18233What was that?"
18233What would it do if it overtook us?
18233What''s the matter with the Dean?
18233What''s the matter?''
18233Who has the rooms on either side of you?''
18233Who is it?
18233Who knows but that, in your future life, you may be as they are now-- in subjection?
18233Who or what could it be?
18233Why did n''t you come by the door?''
18233Why do you wish to know?"
18233Why should not the phenomenon of the cat seen by Mrs. Hartnoll and the Wheelers have been the actual phantasm of an earthbound cat?
18233Why?
18233With Dora, however, it was otherwise, and she electrified us by going up to the figure, and exclaiming:"Who are you?
18233Would it spring out on me if I went to see?
18233Yet with what?
18233You ai n''t used to the country?"
18233You know that portrait stuck over his mantel- shelf?
18233You remember that street?
18233and what is the nature of the thing that has taken its place?
18233but it was very alarming, was n''t it?''
18233she said''I have lived here happy and comfortable forty- five years the day after to- morrow, and that speaks for itself, do n''t it?''
18233what?"
13143But ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its savor wherewith shall it be salted? 13143 But,"you may ask,"what of the Messianic Prophecy mentioned by Matthew( 1:23)?
13143Then of John the Baptist-- was he a reincarnation of Elijah, the prophet, who was to come again? 13143 This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"--what meant these words?
13143What seek ye of me?
13143''Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?''
13143(_ John 9:1- 3._) Surely there can be no mistake about the meaning of this question,"Who did sin, this man or his parents?"
13143***** In view of this explanation, does not the commonly accepted version seem childish and crude?
13143--for how could a man sin before his birth, unless he had lived in a previous incarnation?
13143Again:"Might I not write to you things more full of mystery?
13143And He knew full well all that awaited Him there, for had He not seen the First Picture?
13143And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?"
13143And his disciples asked him, saying,''Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?''
13143And how shall we escape the declaration,''Is there respect of persons with God?''
13143And if so, what must be His course of life and action?
13143And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?
13143And now with this Mystic version, can not_ you_ enjoy the legend with the children?
13143And now, you ask, what were taught in these Christian Mysteries-- what is the Inner Teaching-- what the Secret Doctrine?
13143And our query is-- Sinned_ before_ he was born to deserve the penalty of being born blind?
13143And several asked Him in turn, in a tone of reproach,"Is it I?"
13143And still we hear the querulous complaint that the Inner Teaching is reserved for the Few-- why not scatter it broadcast among the people?
13143And they wondered as they worked and asked each other"What manner of man is this, whom even the winds and the waters obey?"
13143And where are the souls of these dead bodies now residing and abiding pending the coming of the Last Day?
13143And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?
13143And why are ye anxious concerning raiment?
13143And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother''s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
13143And, now, what are the Occult Teachings-- the Secret Doctrine-- regarding the Real Virgin Birth of Jesus?
13143Are not ye of much more value than they?
13143Are the souls of the dead with their bodies?
13143As they approached Him He called out,"Whom seek ye?"
13143Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat?
13143But still what meant that expression-- why that leap and throbbing of her heart?
13143But why should I repeat and enumerate all the horrors of human misery?
13143Can there be any doubt of this after reading the above words from his pen?
13143Can there be any doubt regarding the same in a mind willing to think for itself?
13143Can you not see which is The Truth and which is the perversion?
13143Could the Divine Genius once self- recognized be content to be obscured amid material pursuits?
13143Did not the Magi say,"Where is He?
13143Did this stranger dare to defy God''s own decree?
13143Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
13143Do not even the Gentiles the same?
13143Do not even the publicans the same?
13143Do the angels have physical bodies?
13143Do you remember St. Paul''s remark,''Be not deceived, God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap''?
13143Does not one''s own heart tell him the contrary?
13143Does not the Mystic teaching give a clearer light on this statement of the Creed?
13143Does not the agony of the cross sink into insignificance beside such spiritual agony?
13143Does the church wish to hold that the Master was also an ignorant, credulous peasant, sharing popular superstitions?
13143Even one of the crucified criminals reviled Him, asking Him why He did not save Himself and them?
13143For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye?
13143For is it not written that"the Kingdom of Heaven is within you"?
13143Had not even the Healer declared that she only slept?
13143Had she not anointed Him with precious oil, as the host would have anointed an honored guest?
13143Had she not bathed and dried His feet, as the Pharisee would have done had his guest been deemed worthy of honor?
13143Had she not impressed upon even His feet the kiss that etiquette required the host to impress upon the cheek of the esteemed visitor to his house?
13143Had the Master lost His senses?
13143Had the idea of re- incarnation been repugnant to the teachings, would not He have denounced it to His disciples?
13143He felt that He had come to a most important phase of His life''s work, and the question of"What Am I?"
13143He says:"It may be said that in the present day these doctrines are simply not taught in the churches; how is that?
13143Here is the testimony in all of the standard reference books, and yet how many of you have known it?
13143How dared He so mock the very presence of the dead, whom the physicians had left, and over whom the priests had already begun the last sacred rites?
13143How few are they who find their way to the Realization of their own Divinity?
13143If all the world of objective life and manifestation, even to its highest forms, were withdrawn from manifestation, then there would be left-- what?
13143If not, why should souls require them on higher planes?
13143If not, why the necessity of a physical body at all, in the future life?
13143In the name of Truth, is the teaching, that_ man is a spiritual being_, inconsistent with the teachings of Christ and the records of the Scripture?
13143Is it not a worthy one-- is it not at least a higher conception of the human mind, than the physical Virgin Birth legend?
13143Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
13143Is not this the extreme refinement of torture?
13143Is the beautiful babe, held close in its mother''s fond embrace, a symbol and type of impurity?
13143Is the watchful care and love of the Father of the babe, an impure result of an impure cause?
13143Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
13143Of this event the New Testament takes note in these words:"But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?"
13143Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye, and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?
13143Or this,''Is there unrighteousness with God?''
13143Or what man is there of you who if his son ask him for a loaf will give him a stone, or if he shall ask for a fish will give him a serpent?
13143Or what shall we drink?
13143Or wherewithal shall we be clothed?
13143Saw Him again?
13143Speaking of teaching founded upon historical narrative, he says,''What better method could be devised to assist the masses?''
13143The crowd asked Him why He who saved others could not save Himself?
13143Then Caiaphas asked Him the all- important question,"Art thou the Christ?"
13143Then asked the Master,"Where have you laid him away?"
13143Then cried the people,"What saith this man to the corpse?"
13143Then he asked, with his newly acquired air of authority,"Why sought ye me?"
13143Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
13143Then what can it be?
13143Then what is this Spirit of Life?
13143Then why persist in treating it as a thing imported from India, Egypt or Persia to disturb the peaceful slumber of the Christian Church?
13143They felt His body, and saw Him eat-- but what of that?
13143Was He destined to throw aside the robe and staff of the ascetic, and to don the royal purple and the sceptre?
13143Was He indeed the long- expected Deliverer of Israel?
13143Was He the Messiah?
13143Was He to forsake the role of the spiritual guide and teacher, and to become the King and Ruler over the people of Israel?
13143We wonder if our readers can realize, even faintly, just what this sacrifice meant?
13143Were the ancient laws of Moses to be thus defied by this presumptuous Nazarene, whose religious ideas were sadly lacking in orthodoxy?
13143What did the Nazarene mean?
13143What had you to fear?"
13143What is meant by the words,"We have seen his star in the East"?
13143What is the use of a soul, if the physical bodies of the dead are to be resurrected in order that their owners may enjoy immortality?
13143What manner of people were these to whom He had decided to deliver the Message of Life?
13143What new fraudulent marvels would He not work next in order to delude the credulous people and to bring them once more around his rebellious standard?
13143What was to be done?
13143When and how did he spend those seventeen years?
13143When this truth is known, how puerile and petty seems the myth of the"traveling star"of the commonly accepted exoteric version?
13143Which brings the greater approval from The Christ within your heart?
13143Which is the true spiritual teaching?
13143Which of the two conceptions seems most in accord with the intuitive promptings of the Something Within?
13143Who touched my garment?"
13143Why does He perpetually use the technical terms connected with the well known mystery- teaching of antiquity?
13143Why should this be?"
13143Why the frequent and repeated mention of Jesus as"the Son of God?"
13143Why was it not reasonable that He was to lead the Chosen People to their own?
13143Will the owners of aged, worn out bodies be compelled to re- assume them at the Last Day?
13143Will you accept it?
13143Would it have been any wonder had even such a man as Jesus succumbed?
13143Would not the Master, having found his strength and power, have insisted upon developing the same?
13143you ask?
39718A shark?
39718Ah, yes, how did they know?
39718At the time?
39718But how could they know New Zealand was there?

39718Who are you, friend?
39718Why not?
39718You mean fairies and things?
39718You''re sure it was Sir Oliver?
39718''Who''s that?''
39718Above all, how did the birds get into the carefully- guarded seance room, especially as Bailey was put in a bag during the proceedings?
39718After all, how much education had the apostles?

39718But how can anyone win through?

39718Does anyone import queer little tortoises with long, thin necks?
39718Granting that they are Jewish forgeries, how do they get into the country?
39718Had Germany obeyed the moral law would she not now be great and flourishing, instead of the ruin which we see?

39718I have seen three pictures of his,"The Goths,""Who Comes?"
39718I suppose that on such a voyage one should rest and do nothing, but how difficult it is to do nothing, and can it be restful to do what is difficult?
39718I wonder from what heights that old fellow had fallen before he brought up against the public house wall?
39718If He be with us, who is against us?
39718If here and there one had a new idea, how could it survive the pressure of the others?

43237For a long time, answers could be obtained by any_ two_( why_ two_?)
43237For who were ever better educated than the ancient Greeks and Romans?
43237Have spirits any navels?
43237His death( if he chance to die) has been brought about by evil spirits: who has sent the spirits upon him?''
43237How can that be?
43237How shall the 75 years be made up to bring the end of the world to 1843?
43237I asked it,''Are you unhappy?''
43237I have honored my father and mother; I never stole; what need he to steal who has so good an estate?
43237If you say the animal is sent by God, how will you explain the fact that the sign so often fails?
43237Is the Virgin Mary the mother of God?
43237It must be gotten somehow, for who will believe it as it now stands?
43237Now, does this look as though the answer came from spirits?
43237Now, who could prove that the thing alleged was not_ actually_ done?
43237Now, who has ever been up in the moon to ascertain whether it is so or not?
43237Or, in other words, how shall we best lend a helping hand to hasten the downfall of ignorance, error, and sin?
43237Seeing the evils of popular superstitions, what course shall we adopt for their banishment?
43237Shall we not gather from this, that in the spirit world they have their bands of music and companies of artillery, the same as in this world?
43237She then said,"Will you tell the age of Cathy?"
43237Some one in the company asked,''Is John Thompson alive?''
43237Some will ask the question,"If these things be true, why have we not heard of them before?"
43237The following dialogue then ensued between Mrs. Cooper, her adopted sister, and the young lady:--"''Will you sit close to the table, miss?''
43237The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to- day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play?
43237Then why should we account Friday to be an unlucky day?
43237These sounds were so unusual, that Miss Margaretta Fox, who was present, became alarmed, and said,"What does all this mean?"
43237Treatise after treatise was composed on such subjects as the following: How many angels can stand on the point of a needle?
43237Well, what of that?
43237Were such miracles ever wrought in favor of Millerism?
43237What are his enemy''s fires and incantations to him?
43237What gave that delusion so much success?
43237Whence came such an opinion?
43237Who can say it is not so?
43237Who can wonder that they rise in the morning with wearied limbs, languid and listless, with a furred tongue, parched mouth, and headache?
43237Who sends him on this solemn errand?
43237Why did he not begin the reckoning from the date of the vision itself?
43237Why not as well apply your plaster to a tree as to a pitchfork?
43237Why not as well drink the heart of a lamb as a woman?
43237Why not as well have the touch of a slave as a king?
43237Why should not all mediums be alike?
43237Why was it not then witnessed simultaneously in all parts of the earth?
43237Why?
43237_ Could_ they be deceived?
43237_ Ques._"By whom were you murdered?"
43237_ Ques._"What, then, are you?"
43237_ Ques._"Where does your body lie?"
43237and yet who will_ believe_ that it was?
13237Agnes, my darling, what shall we do? 13237 All days are alike to God,"says the reformer;"why should we observe the Sabbath more than any other day?"
13237And are men here the same, with all their faculties?
13237And do you think I would permit you to leave me thus at random, going, you know not where, without any preconceived plans? 13237 But what motive,"I asked hesitatingly,"could Richard have had for his course?"
13237Can you not take another pupil, Miss Reef?
13237Cried?
13237Did you not see that figure? 13237 Do you see the tip of his castle yonder?"
13237Has Herbert left you?
13237Have I been ill, Mary? 13237 Herbert,"said he, and his countenance darkened;"you can not see Herbert, he is ill."Not see Herbert, and he ill?
13237His son Herbert?
13237How,I cried in astonishment;"I proprietor?
13237I do n''t know,said I,"whether its reely myself or not, for I have n''t seed myself-- how do I look?"
13237I have been looking all over for you; why are you hiding yourself away up here?
13237If he is my child, as you say, why should he not be here? 13237 Is it an academy?"
13237Is this you?
13237May I ask your age?
13237Miss Reef,he demanded solemnly,"why will you delay?
13237Motive? 13237 No; why should I?"
13237Quick, where is the key?
13237Richard married?
13237Sir,said I,"I am calm now; will you not explain to me this frightful mystery?
13237Sit still-- where are you going?
13237So soon, Agnes?
13237So there be''nt,said she, puckerin''up her pretty little mouth;"but tell me, now, is this reely you?"
13237The science of mind?
13237The whole establishment?
13237Thee has a poor memory,remarked William Penn, with a bright smile,"Did not the Bible teach thee that there was an upper and a lower seat?
13237There is no one to be seen here,replied another;"what can it mean?"
13237This marvellous growth is owing to their being essentially a mediumistic people-- is it not so?
13237What are you doing here?
13237What do you mean, sir?
13237What have I to do with that? 13237 What wonder is this?"
13237Where are you going, Agnes? 13237 Where did you come from?"
13237Where the deuce,he mutters,"is the showman?"
13237Who be you?
13237Whose voice is that? 13237 Why does that girl stand glowering at me?"
13237Why, Mary, are you here?
13237Why, how is this?
13237Why?
13237Will you not reward me for my industry?
13237Will you open the door, or shall I?
13237Would you like to sit upon my knee?
13237Yes; do I not speak clearly? 13237 Yes; why not?
13237You will?
13237You, Agnes-- you, verily? 13237 A fearful foreboding possessed me; what could it mean? 13237 Agnes, where are you?
13237Ai nt you afeared I''ll tell Prince Albert of your_ dooins_?"
13237Ai nt you afeared of me?
13237And are all our paraphernalia for funerals, our solemn black, and our long prayers but useless ceremonies?
13237Are you ling''ring where The blue- eyed angels your sweet kisses share?
13237As I did so a heavy, thumping footstep sounded upon the platform, and a surly voice inquired:"Are you Miss Reef?"
13237As we turned the corner of the street I ventured to ask:"Is it to some school you are guiding me?"
13237Bristed?"
13237Bristed?"
13237Bristed?"
13237But will it not live with the living?
13237Can honor set- to a leg?
13237Can the intruder be Richard?
13237Do they cling to their earthly love?
13237Do you comprehend the extent of the undertaking?
13237Do you have such things here?
13237Do you not see that it is best?"
13237Do you wish to perpetuate that crime?
13237Doth he feel it?
13237Doth he hear it?
13237Go whither?
13237Had I done right?
13237Had my riotous heart burnt the secret upon those blushing petals?
13237Had she arisen from her grave beneath the granite of the church- yard to warn me?
13237Have you any you''d like to lose?"
13237He comes-- he questions,"From whence comest thou?"
13237He pressed my hands and said:"Agnes, can I converse with you in private here a few moments?"
13237Honor hath no skill in surgery, then?
13237Houses, stores, and works of art on every side?"
13237How came you here?
13237How could Richard expect to obtain, through my agency, possession of a son whom he had never acknowledged?
13237How is this to be done?
13237How long must I wait?
13237How near is the spirit world to earth?
13237How should I act?
13237How then?
13237I clenched Richard''s arm so that he muttered an oath, and said sharply,"My God, Agnes, what are you doing?"
13237I here took the opportunity to ask Franklin if it was necessary, in communicating with absent individuals, to use those external appliances?
13237I summoned courage to ask:"Were you sent for Miss Reef?"
13237If so, what was he doing at that hour of the night?
13237In return I would inquire,"Why, when men can travel by the steam- engine, do they prefer the slow movements of the horse?"
13237Is it insensible, then?
13237Is this a Christian deed, to flaunt a vice, And with another''s failings gild your own?
13237Is this a Christian deed?
13237Is this the New Jerusalem?
13237Is your home so radiant that never more Your steps will be heard at my lowly door?
13237Leave when I am_ sealed_ to you?"
13237Must brother''s heart his very kin disown, While rudest hand disturbs her mouldering dust?
13237My sister, have I lived to see thy name Dishonored?
13237One evening I ventured to ask:"Richard, why are your visits so brief, and made only in the night?"
13237Or an arm?
13237Or are the dead jealous of their rights?
13237Or take away the grief of a wound?
13237Presently, in broken tones he asked,"Is that Miss Reef?"
13237Shall it be by following in the beaten track of custom?
13237Shall mankind call it just?
13237So you are the young lady who has undertaken to be bored with my little nephew?"
13237Soil not my angel wing; Keep not from rest; How can I upward spring, Clasped to thy breast?
13237Some power outside of myself forced me to ask,"Herbert, what ails your throat; has any one hurt you?"
13237Somebody was riding away; who was it?
13237Spying Brown, I cried out,"Why, how is this, Brown?
13237The question is often asked,"Why should immortals walk, when they can move with greater velocity than light?"
13237Thou, who wast my pride, my stay; Shall Jealousy and Fraud thy love defame And I be dumb?
13237To hearken to the whisperings and device Of old age, selfish, to suspicion grown?
13237To misconstrue each friendly look-- each tone-- And out of natural love create vile lust?
13237Was I afraid of Richard?
13237Was he not the proper person to consult in my dilemma?
13237What could I say?
13237What could be the matter?
13237What could it mean?
13237What crime was this that he hinted at so strangely?
13237What has he found?
13237What hell more fearful than the hell of licentiousness?
13237What intellect so versatile as to reproduce in song and narrative the characteristic styles of so many, and yet so dissimilar authors?
13237What is Heaven?
13237What is honor?
13237What is honor?
13237What is that word, honor?
13237What might he not do in his drunken excitement?
13237What plan had he now in view?
13237What pleasant trick is this you have been playing me?"
13237What political economist, strongly biased in favor of one mode of government, can contemplate dispassionately an opposing form?
13237What right had I to give away a property given to me for an especial purpose?
13237What secret foe is in their midst?
13237Whence came the impression?
13237Where am I?"
13237Where was I?
13237Where was I?
13237Who brought you?
13237Who has a better right to him than I?
13237Who hath it?
13237Whom have we not seen, from Napoleon down to the last suicide?
13237Why did you leave Bristed Hall?"
13237Why should I hurry away?
13237Why will you turn from me when I desire to help you?"
13237Why?
13237Will you walk, or shall I call a cab?"
13237Would you demand liberty for the army?
13237Yea; but how if honor pricks me off when I come on?
13237Your jewels and costly raiment you must have left behind; then whence comes all this wealth and luxury?"
13237_ Browning_?"
13237up and dressed?"
13237what do I see through my blinding tears?--What misty form through the tempest appears?
13237why, Agnes, that can not be; has he not a wife now living in France?
13237would he undo me?
13237you have become acquainted with him?
13237you young varlet; where are you going so early in the morning?"
40875''Then, why do you not go out and see? 40875 Am I not right?"
40875An''is it a drum ye hear?
40875And before then?
40875And of what, pray, are you afraid?
40875And why did you not see the bear?
40875Are you ill? 40875 But how do you know it?"
40875But how in the world could I get anything to them?
40875But you did not come at nine o''clock?
40875Come, now,said he,"you ca n''t deny that''s your cart, can you?"
40875Did n''t you send the medium, only yesterday, a horse and cart to be dematerialized?
40875Did you know that Charlie M. is dead? 40875 Do you mean to say that they wear jewelry in the other world?"
40875Ever been in a street- car accident?
40875Ever seen one?
40875For me?
40875Has he anything particular to say to me?
40875Have you any objection to my hypnotizing you?
40875Have you seen him lately?
40875How do you know it is n''t?
40875How long have you been suffering in this way?
40875I wonder if A is really dead-- for good and all? 40875 I wonder what he''s doing in town, anyway?"
40875Is it only odd- numbered cars that affect you? 40875 Is that all you are afraid of?"
40875Look here,said the foreman, pressing him gently into a seat,"where do you suppose you are, anyway?"
40875On my arrival my first question was:''Is he still alive?'' 40875 The more I think of it,"Stevenson continues,"the more I am moved to press upon the world my question:''Who are the little people?''
40875Then what have you got your hat on for?
40875What are you looking at?
40875What in the world is the matter?
40875What is the matter, Doctor Langtry?
40875What makes you say that?
40875What next?
40875What''s the difference? 40875 When was it?"
40875When?
40875Which is it?
40875Who did, then?
40875Who in the world is he?
40875Whose ghost?
40875Why do I say what?
40875Why do n''t you get your clothes off and go to bed?
40875Why do you call me Smith?
40875Why do you say this?
40875Why was it?
40875Why, yes, ca n''t you hear it? 40875 You are quite sure as to that?"
40875You do n''t?
40875Aloud she asked:"Whose portrait is that?"
40875But now, accepting telepathy as an established fact, the problem remains: How are we to explain it?
40875But where could he have read it?
40875But why do you ask?"
40875But, the reader may well ask, what does all this mean?
40875Ca n''t you see it?
40875Ca n''t you see them?
40875Can I be of any use to you?''
40875Can I do anything for you?''
40875Can it be that she is really suffering from some kind of paralysis?"
40875Can there really be more than one self, one personality, in human beings?
40875Do you not understand that it is only the name of the fine gentleman in blue and green, whom you see marching up and down?
40875Doctor Lià © geois immediately put him into the hypnotic state, and demanded:"Do you know why you came here this morning?"
40875Does death end personality?
40875Does it follow that the self perishes with bodily death?
40875For the time she thought no more of it, but at dinner she turned to her host, the Earl of Airlie, and asked:"My lord, who is your drummer?"
40875Had he been attracted by the light through the shutter?
40875Has Lord Ogilvy brought a band with him?"
40875Have you never heard of the Drummer of Cortachy?"
40875Hazard?"
40875How about odd- numbered houses, for instance?"
40875How did I get here?
40875How explain?
40875How, then, does it come into your hands?"
40875How_ can_ I bear it?
40875Hypnotizing the patient as usual, he demanded:"What is this''cholera''that troubles you so much?
40875I trust she is well?"
40875If so, what are we?
40875In the evening papers?
40875Is it that she will have to spend the rest of her life in an asylum?"
40875Is man soulless?
40875Is there any truth in that?
40875It occurred to me to ask:''Was it, 1, Earl''s Square?''
40875It read:"Are you hurt or ill?
40875Must we be separated, she and I?
40875Now, what were you doing last night, at that time?"
40875Oh, ca n''t you see them?"
40875On seeing Z. a few days afterward, I inquired:"''Did anything happen at your rooms on Saturday night?''
40875Perceiving I was alarmed about something, she asked:"''What is the matter?''
40875Shall I be, after I have ceased to exist here on earth?
40875Tell me, Doctor Prince, am I going insane?"
40875Tell me, doctor, is my poor Justine mad?
40875That has been the real obstacle, has it not?"
40875What are my capabilities?
40875What does he say?"
40875What does it mean?"
40875What does this mean?
40875What had become of his normal ego, the ego of which alone he had formerly been aware?
40875What have you done with mine?"
40875What if I should catch the cholera?
40875What is the end to be?
40875What is the true nature of man?
40875What will become of me?"
40875Whatever is the matter?"
40875When did you get here?
40875Whence the origin of these odd apparitions?
40875Where am I?
40875Where, it may well be asked, was this man''s original self during these two years?
40875Why should I do things which so mortify my pride?
40875Why should Miss Morison and Miss Lamont, among all the thousands of visitors to the Petit Trianon, alone have had such an experience?
40875You do not believe this?
40875says I,"am I going crazy?"
21041''A witness of what?'' 21041 ''All that you have told me is very sad and strange,''I said,''but now, will you allow me to ask you why you have appeared to me?
21041''And that of the lady opposite, my cousin, Lucretia Carbury?'' 21041 ''Have you anything more to ask?''
21041''Who was the man?'' 21041 ''Why do you come to me?''
21041And curly and long?
21041And what can I do about any young man?
21041As soon as I was sure of this, I said:''You are Captain Richard Carbury?'' 21041 But ca n''t you account for it at all?"
21041But what can_ I_ do in the matter, even if it be as you say?
21041But what happened_ afterwards_--after I left Warwickshire, I mean?
21041But you will join us on Wednesday at the meeting, I trust? 21041 Could you describe the man at all?"
21041Did Frank never write?
21041Did you want to know about anyone who lived here long ago?
21041Did your brother Frank ever tell you of a letter he received from me in Oxford?
21041Do n''t you remember my asking you if you had noticed anything curious, or heard or seen anything, during your visit? 21041 Do n''t you see that girl over there?"
21041Do you know any William? 21041 Finish the text?
21041Has anyone died here lately?
21041How do you do, Jem?
21041How long ago?
21041I replied that I should gladly hear what he had to tell, but would he allow me to ask him one question? 21041 In what city?"
21041Is any writing really coming?
21041Is it that you are not happy?
21041Is she mad?
21041Miss Bates, I see? 21041 Oh yes; was n''t he just exasperating?"
21041Really, dear? 21041 Shall I be able to hear?
21041Shall I be able to write automatically?
21041Still, I could put it with the others, and let it go to Warwick, and then tell the man not to do anything with it-- but what would Edward say? 21041 Then you have not had bad news?"
21041What young man?
21041Which room he slept in? 21041 Who could foretell when he might have another chance?"
21041Why not say''_ I_''and have done with it?
21041Will she give a name?
21041Will that lady kindly sit down? 21041 Yes, of course, we know all that, you and I, but what is the use of making this fuss about it?
21041_ Bien, Madame, qu''est- ce- que je vous ai dit?_demanded the Abbà ©, turning to me in triumph.
21041_ Boston._"Was it in a private house, a hospital, a hotel, or_ where_ did you die?
21041_ What business is it of yours?_was the constant reply to my questions.
21041''Can I be of use to you?
21041''Can not you speak?''
21041''Is anything the matter?''
21041''You are not frightened of me?''
21041-- Trumpington Street?"
21041After wishing very fervently one night, Sister Margaret appeared dressed in mob cap and gown, saying:"Do n''t you see my dress?
21041Again I ask: How about the"_ Cui Bono_"argument?
21041Again I ask: How about the"_ Cui Bono_"argument?
21041Are you at the same point of view?
21041Are you not thinking of Mr Loseby?"
21041Are you quite sure you mean Henry Halifax?
21041Are you willing?''
21041As I remained silent she whispered:"Do n''t you know me?"
21041At last, about three months ago, he turned round suddenly, and said:"''When are you going to send those pictures to be cleaned?''
21041B.--"Who do you mean by''_ them_''?"
21041B.--Is there any help here for my constant problem: Why should one''s individual life be only_ now_ evolving in Eternity?
21041B.--Why is Imperator so slow in throwing off his own spiritual limitations?
21041But nothing more could be got out of him, so I dismissed him impatiently, saying:"What is the good of telling me such nonsense?
21041But then again, how could I_ see_ her, since the room was quite dark?
21041But what of it?
21041Can you_ imagine_ his allowing the picture to be taken down upon this evidence?"
21041Charlie Bates?
21041Could Mr Kitchener or any other person present have had to do with the matter?
21041Could it have creaked itself farther open?
21041Could she find out what was the cause?
21041Did this moment of intense desire for her, project itself into the appearance she saw in her room?
21041Disappointed by this, I asked;"Can you not speak to us?"
21041Do n''t you understand what I am saying?
21041Do you see Truth in this idea, and can you tell me if it extends also to Space?
21041Do you see what I mean?
21041Do you suppose the master would have done such a thing?"
21041H. D.--You want me to tell you just my position about the Imperator group before and since I passed to this side?
21041Have you had any curious experiences since I saw you last?"
21041He says:"Why do people in the earth life quote our words as if we were Delphic Oracles?"
21041He thought for a moment, then said:''Chomley?
21041His next remark was:"_ What does it matter what_ YOU_ think or what you mean to do or not to do?
21041His reply was as follows:-- Time is really a form of perception,_ not a thing in itself_--do you understand?
21041How could the hinges have creaked then, and whose cautious footsteps had I heard?
21041How could we gain the real education of life were it otherwise?
21041I can not talk, but I can listen; or do you think possibly you could get a little writing for me?
21041I have been frequently asked:"Should you have recognised her as your friend had no name been given?"
21041I whispered to my friend:"Shall I ask him?"
21041If they do come they wo n''t stay-- why should they?
21041In addition to this, the Hindoostanees consider( and who shall say without ample cause?)
21041Is it not apparent, therefore, that there has been wisdom and goodness in our very theological mistakes and illusions?
21041Is it strange that the same rule should apply to the universe that applies to the tiny portion of it that we know?
21041Is it then permitted to mortals to have personal intercourse with spirits?''
21041Is that correct?"
21041Is there any restitution to be made, or justice to be administered?
21041Is there anything you want done on earth that I can do?
21041Life is just the same on the outer; but on the_ inner?_ Well, I can not describe it!"
21041Miss Boyle told me you wrote automatically sometimes?"
21041My last question was:"What was your age when you passed over?"
21041My next question naturally was:"Then shall I be able to_ see_ very soon?"
21041On arrival there Miss Rowan Vincent said to me very kindly:"Can I do anything for_ you_ now, Miss Bates?
21041Shall I become clair- audient?"
21041Shall I try if I can see anything for you?"
21041Shall you be afraid?''
21041She is still alive, however, and is to be taken to the hospital at one P.M.""But what has happened, Küntze?"
21041She looked incredulous, and then said cheerfully:"Well, if it is as bad as that, do n''t you think you ought to go and see how she is?"
21041Someone_ did_ come to my bedside last night, and said:''I am Gifford-- will you listen to me?''
21041Something induced me, quite against my will, to say:"Do you ever get messages by writing, Miss Vincent?"
21041Suddenly she looked up, and said:"_ Ã � propos des bottes._""How about that young man, ma''am?
21041Surely we are one large family, whether here or there?
21041Surely you must feel how much you have gained since you faced your own facts?
21041The father guessed the letter from the child''s description, and asked me if the first one were correct?
21041The impression was so vivid that I called out instinctively:"What is it, Mabel?
21041The matter did not specially interest me; but on arrival at Rangoon, the only decent(?)
21041The old lady(?)
21041Then I asked:"In what country did you pass away-- Europe or America, or elsewhere?"
21041Then swiftly came the second idea:"And how in the world does it happen that I do n''t feel a bit frightened?"
21041Then turning round carelessly, she remarked:"I suppose_ you_ have not seen or heard anything, Miss Bates, since you came?
21041Thinking I would verify Miss Whiting''s story if possible, my first question was:"Can Stead''s Julia give me her surname?"
21041This message gave me a hard problem to solve:"What should I do with it?"
21041Was it a seducing spirit or a friendly intelligence who reminded me that my opponent had only quoted half the text--_the half that suited him_?
21041Was it another case of mental affinity which had induced him unconsciously to choose a gold brooch with two swallows in gold and pearls?
21041What are you going to do about him?"
21041What can I do for you?"
21041What could he be doing or_ waiting for_?
21041What do you mean?"
21041What horrors, to justify such awful shrieks, could be taking place at this quiet hour and in this quiet, respectable hotel?
21041What more can any of us say?
21041What_ should_ I do?"
21041When I suggested that the judgment was at least very flattering to the Burmese, this Burmese gentleman laughed, and said:"Flattering?
21041When people say to me:"How can a sensible woman like yourself be so foolish as to think such things?"
21041When the doctor arrived, his first question was:"Have you had any special shock lately?
21041Where did it go to?
21041Where did_ you_ know him?''
21041Which of us has not groaned under these self- conscious euphemisms?
21041Who can say?
21041Why did he appear with flesh like a living man?
21041Why not ask the UNSEEN themselves for a decision in the matter?
21041Why, indeed?
21041You have noticed my portrait in the gallery?''
21041You never saw it again?
21041_ Where was the man?_ The door had not closed again, so far as I could hear.
21041so interested in everything-- a_ clergyman_, my dear Miss Bates, and so_ good!_ How could there be anything painful connected with his death?"
21041you remember my telling you about her the other day, and how her manager had run away with all that money?
12813What''s your hurry, Joe?
12813What''s your hurry?
12813What''s your hurry?
12813''And the brown- paper parcel?''
12813''And the leathern hat- box?''
12813''And the striped bag?''
12813''Are they so much worse off than most American business men?''
12813''Do you know why I am bald?''
12813''I gather, then, Lydia, that what you''re asking me to do is to neglect my business in order to read socialistic literature with you?''
12813''Is all my luggage in?''
12813''Is the red bag in?''
12813''Now will you get up?''
12813''Well, Mr. Ogre,''said the doctor, sitting down beside him with a gasp of relief;''let a wave- worn mariner into your den, will you?''
12813''Why, Lydia, what''s the matter with you?
12813And we''re not getting nicer-- and what''s the use of living if we do n''t do that?
12813And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature?
12813And who ever saw her worrying and anxiety do much if any good?
12813And why are ye anxious concerning raiment?
12813Are not ye of much more value than they?
12813Are you cursed by the demon of worry?
12813Are you wilfully and knowingly going to allow yourself to remain within their grasp?
12813Are you, my worrying reader, anxious to be mowed down before your time?
12813At another time he cries My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
12813Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat?
12813But Lydia replied:''When you bring children Into the world, you expect to have them cost you some money, do n''t you?
12813But do we not pay too high a price for much of our civilization?
12813But if everybody on board the wrecked vessels had worried for six months beforehand, would their worries have prevented the wrecks?
12813But is it?
12813But to worry over a thing that can be changed, instead of changing it, is the height of folly, and if a matter can not be changed why worry over it?
12813But what are the ten thousand reading?
12813But where is the"lack of breeding"in sopping up gravy with a piece of bread or"crumming,"or eating soup with a spoon of one shape or another?
12813CHAPTER I THE CURSE OF WORRY Of how many persons can it truthfully be said they never worry, they are perfectly happy, contented, serene?
12813CHAPTER XXI THE WORRIES OF IMPATIENCE How many of our worries come from impatience?
12813Can not you, in your daily life, be a true and sure musician?
12813Can the boy''s actions be changed?
12813Can you suggest anything better?
12813Did he"worry"over it, and fret himself into a worse condition?
12813Do the birds worry?
12813Do they feel an ache or a pain?
12813Do you know what I wished right then and there?
12813Do you propose, therefore, any longer to submit?
12813Do you want to be freed from his throttling assaults?
12813Has he got a death grip on your throat?
12813Have you a right to say it?
12813Have you anything to say?
12813He waved the platter toward the uproar in the next rooms:''A boiler factory ai n''t in it with woman, lovely woman, is it?''
12813Hence, why worry?
12813How necessary to your existence?
12813How nobly Browning set this forth in his Epilogue: What had I on earth to do With the slothful, with the mawkish, the unmanly?
12813How often we hear the question:"Why is it the wicked prosper so?"
12813How should this man have treated this settled fixed fact in his life?
12813How was it to be brought about?
12813I have come to exclaim with Browning in_ Rabbi Ben Ezra_: Now, who shall arbitrate?
12813I heard thee say even now, thou lik''dst not that, When Cassio left my wife; what didst not like?
12813I see, and what of it?
12813I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace?
12813If happiness and a large content be a laudable aim of life how far are we-- the occidental world-- succeeding in attaining it?
12813If they can not be changed, why nag him, why irritate him, why make a bad matter worse?
12813In a few moments, both lads, tousled, half- dressed, and well- scared, rushed downstairs, exclaiming:"Where''s the fire?
12813Is any house that was ever built worth the alienation of dear ones?
12813Is freedom from worry worth while; is it worth struggling for?
12813Is he thinking joyful thoughts?
12813Is he thinking of how he may help others?
12813Is he thinking over the mistakes of the past and sensibly and wisely taking counsel from them?
12813Is it thinking over things that are to be done, and planning for the future?
12813Is it wise to say it?
12813Is it?
12813Is life to be one mere whirling around of the cage of useless toil or pleasure, of mere imagining that you are doing something?
12813Is not such a course immeasurably better than to allow himself to worry, and fret and fear all the time?
12813Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
12813Is the game worth the shot?
12813Is there any wisdom, when one has the cup of misery at his lips, in deliberately keeping it there, and persistently drinking it to the"very dregs"?
12813Is this kindly, is it helpful, is it loving, is it unselfish?
12813Let your question be, not: How can I secure my own pleasure and comfort?
12813Like the aimless, helpless, hopeless, did I drivel--Being-- Who?
12813Now what''s the use?
12813Or are they just rushing because the rest do it?
12813Ought they not to be worried?
12813Rest and peace of mind?
12813Should man do any less?
12813That which will elevate, improve, benefit?
12813The beasts of the field?
12813The clouds?
12813The flowers?
12813The girl unconsciously puts her hand to her brow--"What''s the matter with your head, dearie; got a headache?"
12813The important question, therefore, should be:"Is he ready to receive them?"
12813The rain- drops?
12813The sun, moon, stars, and comets?
12813The trees?
12813The winds?
12813Then the query arose: Whose prayers will be answered on my behalf?
12813Then why still persist in it?
12813Then why worry yourself by trying?
12813Then, too, when I recall how often my addresses are ignored in the local press, ought not I to be aroused to fierce ire?
12813Then, when God''s magnificent love bursts upon him he sings in joy:--What, my soul?
12813Then, when cause for worry seems to be ever present, why not call upon this Loving Maternal Soothing Power?
12813These will bring a natural feeling of harmony with all things, and that is conducive to speedy sleep?
12813To help to heal a wounded spirit?
12813To mend a broken heart?
12813To save a life?
12813To these, my worrying friends, I continually put the question: Is it worth while?
12813We all surmise, They this thing, and I that: whom shall my soul believe?
12813What are the essentials for life?
12813What are they, that they should demand the reverent following of the world?
12813What difference does it make whether I read my paper at 8 o''clock in the morning or at half- past 9?
12813What do they get out of life-- these people who are always in a rush?
12813What do you gain for all your worry?
12813What for?
12813What have you and I had to do with the new inventions in electricity or mechanics or the conquest of the air?
12813What is essential-- What not?
12813What is it doing?
12813What is the hurry, after all?
12813What is the result?
12813What matter if I stand alone?
12813What room for worry is there in a heart full of the peace of God, which passeth all understanding?
12813What use is it to you?
12813What would have been the probable result?
12813What''s your hurry?
12813What''s your hurry?
12813What, then, is the sensible, the reasonable, the only thing she should do?
12813What, then, should be the mental attitude of the superintendent and his family?
12813When doors great and small Nine- and- ninety flew ope at our touch, should the hundredth appall?
12813When we use the word"worry"what do we mean?
12813Where are they going in such a hurry?
12813Where are we all going?
12813Where is the use?
12813Where''s the fire?"
12813Who are they?
12813Who can not see and feel that such a consummation is devoutly to be wished, worth working and earnestly striving for?
12813Who gave to him the wisdom and power of discernment to know that_ he_ was right and these others wrong?
12813Who has not met with this nervous species of worrier?
12813Who has not seen the vain struggles, the distress, the worry of unsatisfied ambitions that would have amounted to nothing had they been gratified?
12813Who has not thus seen the anxious mother?
12813Who made him the judge of the thoughts and acts of other men''s inner lives?
12813Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
12813Why be so afraid of others; why so anxious to"kow- tow"to the standards of others?
12813Why forge fetters upon oneself?
12813Why in the world should you think it funny for them to do this tomfool trick all winter and have nervous prostration all summer to pay for it?
12813Why is it that creatures endowed with reason distress themselves and everyone around them by worrying?
12813Why not rest in His arms, and thus find peace, poise and serenity?
12813Why push a heavy rock up a mountain side merely to have it roll down again?
12813Why should not my blood boil when I think of it?
12813Why should one sit on thorns, or on pins and needles?
12813Why should you be afraid?
12813Why spend your small income upon the unattainable, or upon that which, even if you could attain it, you would find unsatisfying and incomplete?
12813Why, then, waste time?
12813Will it replace the destroyed bridge, renew the washed out track, repair the broken engine?
12813Wo n''t anything, even the best, in Endbury be a come- down for her?''
12813Would one speck of dirt be removed as the result of the worry, the wailing, and the tears?
12813Would this help matters?
12813Yet did she"worry"about it?
12813_ Is_ what''s good enough for us good enough for Lydia?
12813_ We_--Why"_ we_"?
12813but How can I best secure his?
12813or, What shall we drink?
12813or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
12813see thus far and no farther?
45113Bright pictures in the mind,why not, indeed?
45113Is it different from what is called Mental Science, or Christian Science?
45113What Is The New Thought?
45113What does it mean?
45113What principles does it stand for?
45113And if not, why not, pray?
45113And the followers of those strange prophets, what of them?
45113And this hunger for spiritual knowledge and growth, from whence comes it?
45113And, after all, who are"They?"
45113Are you not aware that there are powers latent within us, pressing forth for development and unfoldment?
45113Aye, why should I doubt or question?
45113But does n''t it seem like a pity to see people wasting their time, energy, thoughts and life on these old sorrows?
45113Can I make my disposition into one which is active, positive, high strung and masterful?
45113Can any good come of lugging this trash around with you?
45113Can any of you describe the process of getting things better than this?
45113Did you ever doubt that the grass would grow and the trees take on leaves next Spring?
45113Did you ever fear that perhaps the Summer would not come?
45113Did you ever go house hunting?
45113Did you ever meet the Human Wet Blanket?
45113Did you ever meet the man with the"Southern Exposure"--the man who faces the Sun?
45113Did you ever notice a man or a woman looking for trouble, and how soon they found it?
45113Did you ever shiver with dread at the thought of what would happen if the sun should not rise to- morrow?
45113Did you ever start in the morning feeling cross and crabbed?
45113Did you think that some wonderful essence was going to grow from you, and that that essence would be what you call a spirit?
45113Did you think you were here by chance, or that you were an alien?
45113Do I believe this?
45113Do n''t you know that an earnest, confident expectation of the good things to come will cause these good things to grow for your use in the future?
45113Do n''t you know that in the womb of the future sleep opportunities intended for your use when the time comes?
45113Do n''t you know that the supply of good things does not cease with the close of to- day?
45113Do you doubt the Supreme Intelligence which knows all things and is conscious of all things?
45113Do you doubt the Supreme Power which manifests itself in all forms of power?
45113Do you doubt the Universal Presence which is in all places at all times?
45113Do you fret and chafe at the trials and troubles of this world, and imagine that somewhere else things will be better?
45113Do you know that we are young giants who have not discovered our own strength?
45113Do you long for another home?
45113Do you not know that Desire, Faith and Work is the triple key to the doors of Attainment?
45113Do you recall how he brought with him the inspiring Solar vibrations?
45113Do you remember how the wrinkles and frowns disappeared from the faces of those in his presence?
45113Do you remember how, long after he had departed, the memory of his presence cheered you-- the thrill of his thought vibrations remained to stimulate?
45113Do you suppose that the manifestation is everything, and the manifestor nothing?
45113Do you think for a moment that GOD does not know what he is about?
45113Do you think it helps you to overcome your troubles, or makes your burden any lighter?
45113Do you think that it does you any good to go around with a long face, telling your tale of woe to everyone whom you can induce to listen to you?
45113Do you think that it does you any good?
45113Funny, is n''t it?
45113Have I not felt the pressure of the Unseen Hand?
45113Have you ever noticed that some rooms always seem to exert a beneficial effect upon you, while others seem to depress you?
45113How am I to recognize the causes of my failure and thus avoid them?
45113How can I affect my circumstances by my mental effort?
45113How can I directly attract friends and friendship?
45113How can I draw vitality of mind and body from an invisible source?
45113How can I influence other people by mental suggestion?
45113How can I influence people at a distance by my mind alone?
45113How can I influence those more powerful ones from whom I desire favor?
45113How can I retard old age, preserve health and good looks?
45113I''ve seen it happen many a time, have n''t you?
45113If a room in your house is dark and gloomy, do you hire a man to shovel out the darkness-- do you attempt to do it yourself in your desire for light?
45113If they must think of the past, why not think of the bright things that came into their lives, instead of the dark ones?
45113If we were preparing a new room for the occupancy of some dear one, would we place there any but the brightest picture?
45113Just how shall I go about it to free myself from my depression, failure, timidity, weakness and care?
45113No, you do n''t see it that way?
45113Now what are you going to do about it?
45113Now, if this"Southern Exposure"is such a good thing in a room, why is n''t it a good thing in a man?
45113Oh what''s the use?
45113Oh, dear, dear, what''s the use?
45113Oh, ye of little Faith, why do you not see these things?
45113Oh, ye of little faith do you not know that this is no world of chance?
45113Or will you cease being a psychic pest- house, and begin to fumigate and disinfect your Mind?
45113Outside of what?
45113See?"
45113Seeing this-- looking into our own hearts-- how can we Condemn?
45113Shall I ever know the owner of this hand?
45113Shall I ever see its face?
45113Shall I ever understand the mystery of its existence?
45113So what are they going to do about it anyhow?
45113So what''s the use in being afraid?
45113Tear and twist, pull and wrench, beat and pound, and what have you accomplished?
45113We may assert fervently that we know that All is Good, and that all is best for us, etc., etc., but have we enough faith to manifest it in our lives?
45113Well, what of that?
45113What does Life mean?"
45113What is the object of my existence?
45113What''s the use in being afraid?
45113What''s the use of attempting to resist it?
45113What''s the use?
45113What''s the use?
45113When we ask our intellects,"Whence come I?
45113Whither go I?
45113Who can resist the"fetching"qualities of a bright, baby face, smiling from a little picture on the mantel, or on the wall?
45113Who knows what a day may bring forth?
45113Who''s going to hurt you?
45113Why ca n''t you see this?
45113Why do we not have Faith?
45113Why do we not recognize Law?
45113Why do we not see the great Plan behind it all?
45113Why do"birds of a feather flock together,"in business and everyday life?
45113Why should I fear, have I not hold of my father''s hand?
45113Why should you doubt-- have you not felt the pressure of The Hand?"
45113Work?
45113Would we do this thing I ask you?
45113Would we hang there pictures of pain and misery, hate and murder, jealousy and revenge, sickness, suffering and death, failure and discouragement?
45113Would_ you_ do it?
45113mysterious to- morrow-- that delight of the child-- that bugaboo of the"grown up"--what shall we say of to- morrow?
54665Am I in the right path?
54665And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? 54665 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
54665And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? 54665 How comes this?
54665Of whose thought could this be the reflection?
54665What do you want, sister?
54665Who is he?
54665Why is it that our belief has anything to do with the exercise of the healing power?
54665''Do you believe you are already helped?''
5466528, 29, 30:--"And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?
54665Are we to suppose that the souls of all these things are pressed into the service of the nocturnal visitant?
54665At a subsequent sitting the following questions and answers were given:--"_ Q._ Who are you that write?
54665At a subsequent séance the following dialogue occurred:"_ Q._ By what means are( unknown) secrets conveyed to wife''s brain?
54665But is his comparison pertinent?
54665But is it necessary in this case to invoke the aid of such an explanation?
54665But is it not haunted, nevertheless?
54665But the question is, Will that hypothesis apply to all the phenomena?
54665Can a segregated portion of the Divine essence, once individualized, ever perish or lose its identity?
54665Did it proceed from disembodied spirits?
54665Does it actually die, disintegrate, and return to its original elements?
54665Have we not a logical right to infer that when it is entirely freed from physical trammels, it will have reached a condition of independent existence?
54665Have you any deceased friend by that name?"
54665How about Number 2?
54665How is evidence to be obtained, and what is its value when obtained?
54665If not, why not?
54665If so, who?
54665In what consisted the power of primitive man to assert and maintain his God- given dominion over the monsters of his day and generation?
54665In what does identity consist, or, more properly speaking, how is it retained?
54665Is it because the former possesses more knowledge than the latter?
54665Is it not a fact, nevertheless, that the passes are principally useful as a means of controlling the minds both of the subject and the operator?
54665Is it probable, or even possible, that he could have taught that_ belief_ alone was a sufficient atonement for the sins of the wicked?
54665Is it this idea, so deeply rooted in her brain, which neutralizes our efforts and her own wish to be cured?
54665Is not the primary effect-- hypnotic or mesmeric-- produced, not directly upon the animal, but upon the man himself?
54665Is that an evidence of a trinity of mind?"
54665It may be asked, What becomes of the soul when deprived of a conscious existence?
54665Now, has the medium actually seen a spirit, or has he merely read the sitter''s subjective mind?
54665Now, it may be asked, how do we connect the clairaudient warning of the old man with the wreck which did not occur to his train?
54665Now, the question arises, What is the effect thus produced on the animal?
54665Now, what is an auto- suggestion?
54665On seeing Z, a few days afterwards, I inquired,''Did anything happen at your rooms on Saturday night?''
54665Said one of them, in my hearing:"I have often been asked the question,''What is an adept?''
54665Some of them say, however,"If this is evidence of duality of mind, what shall we say of those who exhibit a triple personality?
54665The first question in order is, What are the inherent probabilities?
54665The first question, then, is, What do we know of the attributes of the soul?
54665The first question, therefore, is, What did Jesus declare to be the one essential condition necessary to the attainment of immortal life?
54665The following are fair samples:--"_ Q._ Is it the operator''s brain, or some external force, that moves the planchette?
54665The great question,"If a man die, shall he live again?"
54665The healer triumphantly asks,"What do you think of my theory now?"
54665The next question is, What are the conditions?
54665The question arises, What part does the subjective mind play in the normal operation of the human intellect?
54665The question now arises, What are the conditions necessary to give us assurance of infallible deductions from given premises?
54665The question now is, Did Jesus mean just what he said; or were these idle words, having no significance taken in their literal sense?
54665The question now is, What is to be considered the doctrine of future rewards and punishments to be gathered from the New Testament?
54665The question,"Whom did you desire to have appointed administrator of your estate?"
54665Thus, the first question,''Who are you that write?''
54665Was there any intellectual feat performed which rendered it impossible that he should have been its author?
54665We ask, of whose thought could this be the reflection?"
54665What do_ you_ call it?
54665What effects, if any, either in the condition of the subject or of the operator, or in both, are missing when the new methods are applied?
54665What greater punishment than the remorse of conscience arising from the ever- persistent memory of a life of wickedness and crime?
54665What greater reward could such a being ask or experience than would be found in the contemplation of a well- spent life?
54665What would he have answered?
54665When did the higher phenomena show the first signs of decadence?
54665Who has not dreamed of being dead?
54665Why?
54665Would he not, assuredly, have the right to remind his interrogator of the rules of good breeding?
54665Would that conception have proved that an outside universe is possible or existent?
54665_ A._ Why do you try to make me say what I wo n''t?
54665_ Q._ But does no one tell wife what to write?
54665_ Q._ But how does wife''s brain know( certain) secrets?
54665_ Q._ By whom, or by what, is the electro- biologic force set in motion?
54665_ Q._ Can wife answer a question the reply to which I do not know?
54665_ Q._ Is it the will of a living person, or of an immaterial spirit distinct from that person?
54665_ Q._ What do you mean by''what you call''?
54665_ Q._ What is your own name?
54665_ Q._ Whose spirit?
54665_ Why_ will you not tell?
54665but where are the nine?
54665how long shall I suffer you?"
11950Behold this ruin,''tis a skull Once of etherial spirit full--"Par quel ordre du Ciel, que je ne puis compendre Vous dis- je plus que je ne dois?
11950Does he know who is now speaking?
11950Is he satisfied with the Commission?
11950Will it answer to the alphabet?
11950''And do you remember the sweet years of old?''
11950''And do you remember, Olive dear, whose names were carved on it?''
11950''And do you, oh, do you remember that you fell asleep under the oak, and that a little acorn fell into your bosom and you tossed it out in a pet?
11950''But Rosamund, Fair Rosamund, what made you drink that bowl?
11950''But, my dear sir,''I cried,''what_ can_ I ask about?
11950''Certainly I will, dear Uncle, and wo n''t you bring me a necklace, too?''
11950''Did n''t you see what Eleanor had in her other hand?''
11950''Do you remember,''I continued,''the old oak near Sumner- place?''
11950''How did she find you out?''
11950''Oh, Effie dear,''I said,''is that you?''
11950''Pray, tell me,''I said,''is that motion of your forefinger voluntary or involuntary?''
11950''Stop,''he cried,''is it Maria?''
11950''Stop,''he cried,''is there a"Saint"about it?''
11950''Well, how does he perform his wonderful exploits in rappings, etc.?''
11950( Resuming): I presume then it is Henry Seybert?
11950( Resuming): Is the Spirit the same one that was present last night?
11950( Resuming): Will you communicate with him before Mr. Pepper leaves to- night?
11950( Resuming, from notes): The inquiry was then addressed to Dr. Slade,''Do you know a man named Guernella who, with his wife, gave séances?''
11950( To Mr. Furness): Do you not think so?
11950And do you know that it has grown into a fine young oak?''
11950Answer:''Soon,''''Will you write for the gentlemen?''
11950Are there more Spirits than one present?
11950Are they visible before you?
11950Are we likely to have any demonstration?
11950Are you able to communicate with him now?
11950Are you happy now?
11950But did it not behoove the Acting Chairman of the Seybert Commission to yield himself a willing victim to the cause of Psychical Research?
11950But had not the envelope been opened?
11950But what other possible way have I of finding out who the Spirits are, when they do not tell me in advance, but by asking them?
11950But why should I anticipate deceit at Spiritual hands?
11950But why should we talk of''loss?''
11950Can it be that the faculty of observation and comparison is rare, and that our features are really vague and misty to our best friends?
11950Can you indicate on the table your presence, Mr. Seybert?
11950Can you tell me anything about the owner, when alive, of the skull here in the Library?
11950Could this have been a lure to tempt me to knock again at the Spiritual door of which Dr. Mansfield is the porter?
11950Did I ever evince the slightest mistrust of Indian''braves?''
11950Did I give her a ring?
11950Did I not very much disappoint a young lady over there?
11950Did you really want to come back?''
11950Do I not go often into a building where many persons work at chemistry?
11950Do you move this pencil?
11950Do you remember it, dear one?''
11950Do you remember it, dear?''
11950Do you remember who gave you that bowl just before you died?''
11950Does it gratify her, as a Spirit, that it is mounted on black marble?
11950Does not a hen sit for three weeks?
11950Does she ever hover over it?''
11950Dr. Koenig: What would that mean-- that he only sees some of us, or that he sees none of us entirely, but only partially?
11950Dr. Leidy asked the question:"Is any Spirit present?"
11950Dr. Leidy asked:''When and where did you die?''
11950Dr. Leidy: Is Mr. Seybert present?
11950Dr. Leidy: Is any Spirit present whom I know, or who knows me?
11950Dr. Leidy: Is any Spirit present?
11950Dr. Leidy: Who am I?
11950Dr. Leidy: Will you repeat your taps to indicate that you are present yet?
11950Dr. Leidy:"To the right?"
11950Dr. Leidy:"Will you confer with the man to left of the Medium?"
11950Had you no suspicions?''
11950Have I been smitten with color- blindness?
11950Have I ever failed in respectful homage to General Washington?
11950Have I never seen the Medium before?
11950Have I not been across the water where people had the cholera and turned black and died?
11950Have you any message to send to your wife, M---- F----?
11950He asked, with somewhat of a sneer,''How did you expect to investigate it?''
11950I arose as it approached and asked:''Is this Rosamund?''
11950I sat down and wrote,"Has Marie St. Clair met Sister Belle in the other world?"
11950I sat down at my table and wrote:''Is it really true that Sister Belle''s body was sold to three doctors?''
11950I thought,''are not the four Cardinal virtues, Temperance, Justice,_ Prudence_ and Fortitude?''
11950I wrote upon a slip of paper my question,"Will Dr. H. advise me what to do for Juliet( an old colored patient)?"
11950If William Shakespeare can appear to me, why not Fair Rosamund?
11950If it be not the Spirit that I name, will it not, if it has a shred of honesty, set me right?
11950In answer to the question,''Are you ready to lift the gentleman?''
11950In answer to the question,''Will you try to lift the chair?''
11950Is it Henry Seybert?
11950Is it that the Medium exercises some mesmeric influence on her visitors, who are thus made to accept the faces which she wills them to see?
11950Is not a Medium worth more than a chicken?
11950Is the gentleman opposite a Medium?
11950Isolating you from the table?
11950It was asked whether Mr. Seybert would meet us on the next evening?
11950It was asked: Will the Spirits answer questions?
11950Le Conte-- are you engaged now in the study of Coleoptera?''
11950Medium requests that the piano be moved against the door( to keep off illicit Spirits?).
11950Moreover, I thought, are there not to be found in Anatomical Museums skeletons of infants with one body and two heads?
11950Mr. Fullerton( to the Medium): How does your hand feel when affected in that way?
11950Mr. Fullerton: Then it was not the regular triple rap?
11950Mr. Furness( applying his right hand, by her permission, to the Medium''s head): Are you ever conscious of any vibration in your bones?
11950Mr. Furness: Do these raps always have that vibratory sound-- tr- rut-- tr- rut-- tr- rut?
11950Mr. Furness: Do you suppose that the present conditions are such that you can throw the raps to a part of the room other than that in which you are?
11950Mr. Furness: How in the world shall we test that?
11950Mr. Furness: The freer the raps come, the better for you?
11950Mr. Furness: Under what conditions can you influence them?
11950Mr. Furness: You say that, in the generality of cases, they are beyond your control?
11950Mr. Pepper: Harry, would you like to know something about this investigation of Spiritual manifestations, which you had so much at heart while living?
11950My fourth, and last, question therefore ran:''Do you think that by any chance Dina Melish would know?''
11950My third question immediately followed:"Can you give me any information as to where even a portion of the body is?"
11950Need I say that this document, in Marie''s own handwriting, invests the skull with even added interest?
11950Need it be added that I gratefully remitted to Medium Number Three a double fee, and do yet consider myself many times her debtor?
11950Now, Mr. Seybert, can not you produce some raps?
11950On two occasions, when I suggested that I recognized the form by asking,"Is it----?"
11950Or is it, after all, only the dim light and a fresh illustration of_ la nuit tous les chats sont gris_?
11950Pepper:"Do you remember the year in which you made the promise?"
11950Professor Thompson( interposing): Do you remember the Medium''s remarks about the resistance of the Spirits?
11950Professor Thompson( who was the person indicated):"Is the Spirit male?"
11950Professor Thompson: But did not the Medium make that statement at the very first séance?
11950Sellers asked the Medium,"Dr. Slade, will you allow me to see that slate?"
11950Sellers here described at length Mr. Kellar''s trick with the fastened slates, and in concluding, asked:] How did Mr. Kellar do that?
11950Sellers( addressing the Spirit): Will you repeat the raps we heard just now, assuming that there were some?
11950Sellers( after a notification from the Medium to proceed): Is Mr. Seybert still present?
11950Sellers( to the Medium): As if the Spirits might or might not communicate?
11950Sellers): Was not that slate the one that I held at the time referred to?
11950Sellers): Was there an answer to that?
11950Sellers): You asked that question, I think?
11950Sellers, being requested to write a question on the back of the slate near him, wrote the following,''What is the time?''
11950Sellers, complying with the Medium''s request to write a question on the back of the slate, wrote"Do you know the persons present?"
11950Sellers: Are there only three?
11950Sellers: Are there seven members of the Committee present?
11950Sellers: Are they all seated around one table?
11950Sellers: Are they seated at two tables?
11950Sellers: Are those the shoes which you usually wear?
11950Sellers: But can he not do it by trickery?
11950Sellers: But do you feel now, to- night, any untoward influence operating against you?
11950Sellers: Do you know a man named Kellar, who is exhibiting in this city?
11950Sellers: Do you, Mr. Seybert, at the present time, see the persons present?
11950Sellers: Is any Spirit present now?
11950Sellers: Then the sounds will be just beneath your feet, will they?
11950Sellers: What are the rules?
11950Sellers: Will the Spirit rap again?
11950Sellers: Will the raps be produced under such circumstances?
11950Sellers: Will you communicate with Mr. Pepper by raps or by writing?
11950Sellers: Will you please rap the number of the members of the Committee who are present at this time?
11950Sellers:"Does Mr. Seybert know the names of the Commission?"
11950Sellers:"Will Henry Seybert make the raps at this end of the table?"
11950Stifling atmosphere breathed for 1- 1/2 hours, for what?
11950Tell me, you little witch, who were you thinking of all that time?''
11950Tell us if you will play the accordion, or try to to- day?
11950The Medium( repeating): Will you rap on the floor?
11950The Medium( to Dr. Leidy): Ask if that is Mr. Seybert?
11950The Medium( to Mr. Furness): The glasses are not placed over marble, are they?
11950The Medium: Now, Mr. Seybert, if your Spirit is here, will you have the kindness-- I knew Mr. Seybert well in life-- to rap?
11950The Medium: Now, Spirits, will you rap on the floor?
11950The Medium: Well, by-- Mr. Furness: By-- what?
11950The Medium: Were any of you gentlemen acquainted with Mr. Seybert in his lifetime?
11950The Medium: Will the Spirit rap here?
11950To regain my lost position, therefore, I said hastily,''But can it be Effie?''
11950Upon one slate the following interrogatories and responses were recorded:''Spirits, are you ready to work?''
11950Was to be, or not to be, a Medium so evenly balanced that the turning of a hair, or of a whole head of hair was to repel me?
11950What hinders it from telling me just who it is?
11950When a Spirit called for her husband, Mrs. Thayer, the interpreter, asked,"Has anyone here a wife on the other side?"
11950When a Spirit comes out of the Cabinet especially to me, how am I to know, or to find out, who it is but by asking?
11950When we resumed our seats, I could not help asking her:''Are you_ sure_ you recognized him?''
11950Where a hen gives a week, shall not I give a month?
11950Whereupon she instantly retorted, with much indignation,''Do you mean to imply that I do n''t_ know_ my_ husband_?''
11950Who can truthfully describe a juggler''s trick?
11950Why had no one ever told me of that row of books?
11950Why may not this have been an instance of one head and two bodies?
11950Will you communicate by raps?
11950Would not it be advisable, when you say it was thrown up, to add that it was thrown from the side at which the Medium was sitting?
11950You''ll surely come and see me again the next time I come here, wo n''t you?''
11950you never believed in them, did you?''
44625''A stranger? 44625 ''And this?''
44625''I will do anything you ask,''replied the passenger,''but what shall I write?'' 44625 ''The matter, sir?
44625''Well, Mr. Bruce,''said the Captain,''did not I tell you that you had been dreaming?'' 44625 ''What were you doing?''
44625''Why, Mr. Bruce,''said the latter,''what in the world is the matter with you?'' 44625 ''You say that this is your handwriting?''
44625But are there no real ghosts? 44625 Have you then forgotten our promises to each other, pledged in early life?
44625I again addressed it, this time in the language of the country,''What do you want?'' 44625 I strove to speak-- my voice utterly failed me; I could only think to myself, Is this fear?
44625Tell me,I said,"Lord Tyrone, why and wherefore are you here at this time of the night?"
44625The men saluted him; and the captain called out:''How''s she heading?'' 44625 This I immediately did; and the next day when my sister arrived, she asked me if I had complied with her request?
44625Upon hearing this the captain said to the second mate:''When did you heave the lead? 44625 ''Could anyone have been stowed away?'' 44625 ''Well, do you like it?'' 44625 ''What are ye talkin''about?'' 44625 ''What is up?'' 44625 ''What was this gentleman about at noon to- day?'' 44625 13 The Terror of the Dark 14 What is a Ghost? 44625 18 Historic Investigations 20 Death Coincidences 21 Are They Due to Chance? 44625 ARE THEY DUE TO CHANCE? 44625 After all, is n''t there some reason for the fears that we all feel, more or less, at that time? 44625 After all, were not his arguments somewhat impressive? 44625 And why did_ It appear_? 44625 At last:''What is the meaning of this?'' 44625 Bruce?'' 44625 But how about those ghosts which appear some time after death? 44625 But you say,''he added, turning to the passenger,''that you did not dream of writing on a slate?'' 44625 But, after all, what_ is_ a ghost? 44625 CAN HAUNTED HOUSES BECURED"?
44625Can I be of use to you?''
44625Can I do anything for you?''
44625Can not you see why I hate it so?"
44625Can that be right?
44625Can this be done?
44625Chance, you say?
44625Could a simple"hallucination"have been so widespread and so prevalent?
44625Could a_ hundred_?
44625Did the animal succeed in affecting his master by telepathy?
44625For, if a living mind can influence the living by telepathy; why not a"dead"one?
44625For, if the phantom were a mere hallucination, as many claim, how did several see it at once?
44625Had n''t they seen him with a sword on every''quid''they''d ever seen?
44625He then called his first mate, as he was going off watch, and asked him how all things fared?
44625How came you here when you are so ill?"
44625How can a telepathic impulse from a distant mind cause a picture to appear in space, as it were, before the recipient?
44625How can there be real ghost stories when there are no real ghosts?
44625How do they manifest?
44625How is yours, sir?''
44625How many of us have seen the microbe that kills?
44625I called aloud:''May n''t I strike a light and show you the way along this dark hall?''
44625I exclaimed,''Good God, how and where?''
44625I fell on my knees before her and kissed-- what?
44625I got annoyed and said,''Can you not speak, man, and tell me if anything is wrong?''
44625I had not been awake long enough to remember that she was dead, and exclaimed quite naturally,''Why, dear, what''s the matter?''
44625I said:''Who are you?''
44625I started up and said:''Edward, is there anything wrong?''
44625If not, why the coincidence?
44625If we were to believe that a simple hallucination caused the figure, how account for this identification?
44625In my dreams, in the wild fantasies that had oft- times visited by pillow at night-- in delirium, in reality, where?
44625In short, we are back to our original question: What are ghosts?
44625In what do they consist?
44625In what may it be supposed to consist?
44625It asked:''Who is the lady in white?''
44625It had not yet come in, and Sir Tristram asked:''Why are you so particularly eager about letters to- day?''
44625It is this: Can so- called Haunted Houses be_ cured_?
44625It would lie down by my side; perhaps touch me; perhaps-- who could tell?
44625Mrs. Claughton said:''Am I dreaming, or is it true?''
44625My curiosity, however, was far greater than my fear, and I kept asking myself what the thing was, and why it was there?
44625On seeing Z. a few days afterwards, I inquired:''Did anything happen at your rooms on Saturday night?''
44625So far so good, but how about apparitions of the living?
44625So, after all, as I said, is n''t there some reasonable ground for one''s fear at such times?"
44625TELEPATHIC HALLUCINATIONS How may the theory be said to work?
44625TRUE GHOST STORIES CHAPTER I WHAT IS A GHOST?
44625The first chapter deals with the interesting question,"What is a Ghost?"
44625Then, before you could say"knife,"the Germans had turned, and we were after them, fighting like ninety....''"''Where was this?''
44625This, therefore, is one very strong point in favor of this hypothesis; but if the ghost is a real, outstanding entity, how account for his clothes?
44625WHAT IS A GHOST?
44625WHERE?
44625Was it real?
44625Was it the result of imposture?
44625Was it the work of imagination?
44625Was there something amiss with my own hearing, then, that I could distinguish no word amid these deeply emphasized tones?
44625Was this hallucination, or some vision of the unseen, coming in so unexpected a fashion?
44625What did your mate see?''
44625What do they do with themselves?
44625What do we mean by this?
44625What had I seen?
44625What has been said by way of explanation of these cases?
44625What should I do if I were in darkness?''
44625What water had you?''
44625When we regained the avenue( in silence) Miss Moore asked Miss Langton,''What did you see?''
44625Where do ghosts live, and how?
44625Who else would venture down without orders?''
44625Who is that at your desk?''
44625Who wrote the_ other_?''
44625Who?''
44625Why do they believe?
44625Why do they return?
44625Why should not the surviving spirit of man continue to influence us, by telepathy?
44625Would they believe if they had no cause to do so?
44625Yet if we can not believe this, how are we to explain this difficulty-- and the fact that ghosts wear ghostly garments?
44625Yet, after all, why should they?
44625Yet, if there are real, objective, outstanding ghosts, how can we explain them?
44625You ask me why?
44625You do n''t mean to tell me you did n''t see her?''
44625_ One_ case of this character might be explained in such manner; but could_ fifty_?

32176Did she not reject him when left a widow, young and beautiful as but few were to be found in all the Scottish land?
32176Do you say this is the day I must scratch the young Witch?
32176Dost thou not twirl like a Calf that hath the Turn, and twitch up thy Houghs just like a Spring- hault Tit?"

32176Good Spirit--"But why did Bull bewitche him?"
32176He then reproached her, saying,"How could she bid him pray for her, since she could not pray for herself?"
32176Her husband, she had said, was embarrassed with this big black horse, and asked what he should do with it?
32176Here was another child of God grievously mishandled; and what might not be done to the servants of the devil who had so evilly intreated him?
32176Hob listened to her railings patiently, till commanded by the bailie to speak, when says he,"How came she then to know that I had called her a witch?
32176How should he if no man was to kill him?
32176If such things as these could be done in the light of the sun, why, should not Margaret Nin- Gilbert have supernatural power?
32176If the devil could touch a Lord''s son, who was safe?
32176Immediately after prayer was ended, a counterfeit voice cried out,"Would you know the witches of Glenluce?
32176Is this the top of Skill and Pride, to shuffle Feet, and brandish Knees thus, and to trip like a Doe, and skip like a Squirrel?
32176Ligh in[115] Leath[116] wand: What hath he in his other hand?

32176Love you the Bible?
32176Love you the Gospel?
32176Love you the Mass?
32176Man--"Why, is shee not a witche?"
32176Mary went home, bewitched, and who but Catherine had done it?
32176Mother Munnings was angry: who would not have been?
32176Mr. Clark went to the woman and asked what had made her forehead bleed?
32176Old Mother Baker asked whom they suspected?
32176Pump thine Invention dry: Can not that universal Seed- plot of subtile Wiles and Stratagems spring up one new Method of Cutting Capers?
32176Quoth she,"What a widdy would thou do with my belt?"
32176Ransack the old Records of all past Times and Places in thy Memory: Can''st thou not there find out some better way of Trampling?
32176Rygorously?
32176Says the devil,"Saw ye that?
32176Says the other,''Are there any other in Glasgow of that name?''
32176She said that about a year and a half ago, she being in great poverty, was induced by one Catherine Green( her husband''s sister?)
32176She was swum and she floated; whereat a gentleman asked her"how it was possible that she could be so impudent as not to confesse herselfe?"
32176So was not Mary Johnson an undoubted witch with all this testimony against her?
32176Subtract from this account the possible and the certain-- the possible frauds and the certain lies-- and what is left?
32176Suddenly the child cried out,"Did you ever see one more like a Witch than she is?"
32176The chief witness against her was her little daughter- in- law( step- child?)
32176The next day he came with Lierd, and asked"why she was so snappish yesterday?"
32176The old woman turning against the Lady, said, half sorrowfully,"Madam, why do you use me thus?
32176The witch was hanged: could they do less in such a clear case as this?
32176Then came in the man''s natural voice, addressing the spirit:"Come, come, prithee tell me why did they bewitch me?"
32176There was poor Patrick Lowrie, fylit July 23, 1605--what had he done?
32176This precious wretch( was it John Kincaid?)
32176To whom did she make this prayer?
32176To whom she answered,"What canst thou do at him?"
32176Turning to Jennet, the good man''s daughter, he cried,"Jennet Campbell, Jennet Campbell, wilt thou cast me thy belt?"
32176Upon Andrew Wobster-- who had put a linen towel round her throat, half choking her, and to whom she said angrily,"Quhat wirreys thow me?
32176Was Catherine''s brand like a"blew spot, or a little tate, or reid spots, like flea- biting?"
32176Was Tom, the Glasgow student, afraid of being made a weaver, consent or none demanded?
32176Was not all this enough to hang a dozen Julian Coxes?
32176Watching with Matthew Hopkins, he asked Elizabeth Clarke if she were never afraid of her imps?
32176What evidence could be stronger?
32176What further evidence could possibly be required to prove that Isobel Cockie was a witch, and one that"might not be suffered to live"?
32176What is wightier than a Kinge in his owne lande?
32176What is yonder that casts a light so farrandly?

32176When Janet Irving was brought to trial( 1616) for unholy dealings with the foul fiend, it was proved-- for was it not sworn to?
32176When asked of what colour were they?
32176When he had come to her,''Sandie,''says she,''what is this you have done to my brother William?''
32176When the black dog came he said,"What wouldst thou have me to do with yonder man?"
32176When they asked, Love you Witchcraft?
32176Who ever knew of evil example waiting for its followers?
32176Who was safe, if a half- fed scrofulous woman had fancies and the megrims?
32176Who would dare to doubt such testimony as this?

32176or did they die in their belief that the stake and the gallows were the finest remedies known for disordered functions or organic mischief?
32176or with"the flesh sunk in and hallow?"
32176says she,"what''s thou doing here, Isabel Heriot?
32176shall I never be believed till it be past Time?
32176that I shall now have my Fits, when I shall both hear and see and know every Body?

32176will ye not speak to me?
12649''Do n''t you mean Bismarck?'' 12649 ''Is he dead?''
12649''Is there any hurry?'' 12649 ''Sha n''t I bring you the book and let you look it up yourself?''
12649''Then you advise me to go on? 12649 ''Was I hired for that?''
12649''What do you want to know for?'' 12649 ''What''s the matter with Charlie doing it?''

12649How, then?

12649If so, would you employ him as salesman, executive, cashier, clerk, chemist, mechanic? 12649 Is he a good mixer?"
12649Is he healthy, honest, industrious, aggressive? 12649 Is it practical?"

12649Why, what account is that? 12649 Will the clerk quietly say,''Yes, sir,''and go do the task?
12649Will you?
12649Would you choose him as a friend?
12649Yes, I know you are a foreman, but who plans all the work you do?
12649Yes, the Super hands the plans down to you, but who plans the work for him?

35958[ 6] We may here inquire wherein lies the necessity of a cause opposed to a contingent cause? 35958 An event proved to be necessary in relation to an individual-- is this event likewise necessary in the whole train of its relations? 35958 And how does will cause volitions? 35958 And how is that new volition or antecedent to be obtained? 35958 And is the truth of the Bible unsettled? 35958 And what answer could be given? 35958 And what is this consequence but pantheism? 35958 Are they opposed and exclusive of each other in reference to the future? 35958 Are we called upon to ascend higher? 35958 As the motive therefore determines the divine volition, what is the nature of the connexion between the motive and the volition? 35958 But do we find this distinction of natural and moral ability in the common notions of men? 35958 But has not the act of the will a cause? 35958 But have I done wrong not to be seduced by his genius, nor won and commanded by his piety to the belief of his philosophy? 35958 But how are we to know whether the motive of every volition has this characteristic of agreeableness, or of most agreeableness, as the case may be? 35958 But how do those who deny a self- determining power account for these facts? 35958 But how do we conceive of cause as producing phenomena? 35958 But how does the cause produce the phenomenon? 35958 But how does the will cause its own acts? 35958 But how opposed-- is choice contingent? 35958 But in what lies the selection? 35958 But is this necessity a necessity_ per se_, or a determined necessity? 35958 But show me, he that can, that they are not logical deductions from this system? 35958 But to a being endowed with prescience, what prevents a positive and infallible knowledge of a future contingent event? 35958 But what has determined you then? 35958 But what is the aim of this preaching? 35958 But what is the cause of volition? 35958 But what is the nature of such a cause? 35958 But what is the relation of the phenomena to the substance? 35958 But what is this idea opposed to necessity, and how does the will come under it? 35958 But what is this something opposed to necessity? 35958 But what kind of certainty is this? 35958 But what new characteristic appears in this relation? 35958 But wherein lies the deficiency? 35958 But why does he determine always according to the most reasonable? 35958 But why does it seem most agreeable to him? 35958 But why the reluctance to escape from this universal necessity? 35958 But will any man assume that necessity is the_ only_ ground of certain knowledge and conviction? 35958 Can any effect be without a cause? 35958 Can we not believe that the Judge of all the Earth will do right, although in his free and omnipotent will he have the power to do wrong? 35958 Can we not enjoy this confidence, while we allow him absolute freedom of choice? 35958 Do the abettors of this system admit that there is something opposed to necessity? 35958 Do they admit the possibility that any choice which is, might not have been at all, or might have been different from what it is? 35958 Do they affirm that choice is opposed to necessity? 35958 Do they not feel that the volition has a metaphysical possibility as well as that the sequent of the volition has a physical possibility? 35958 Do you say it represents phenomena as existing without cause? 35958 Do_ you_ likewise have a natural and spontaneous judgement against a necessitated will? 35958 Does Edwards appeal to consciousness? 35958 Does not such a proposition detract from the omnipotence of God, in the same proportion in which it aims to exalt his omniscience?
35958Does the objector allege, as a palpable absurdity, that there is, after all, nothing to account for the particular determination?
35958Does this certainty possess degrees?
35958Every cause produces effects by exertion or acting; but what is the cause of its acting?
35958Explain,--why do you endeavour to evade the conclusion of this system when you come to volition?
35958Have we here anything beyond stated antecedents and sequents?
35958How do you know this?
35958How does Edwards prove this?
35958How does fire burn, or the sun raise the tides?
35958How does this prove it?
35958How does volition raise the arm or move the foot?
35958How is cause known?
35958How shall we escape from these difficulties?
35958How then can we explain the fact that it does pass out of this state of indifferency to a choice or volition?
35958If God''s will determines in the direction of the reasonable because it is most agreeable, then we ask, why is it the most agreeable?
35958If cause have not within itself a_ nisus_ to produce phenomena, then wherein is it a cause?
35958In selecting one of the squares, does the will act irrespective of reason and sensitivity, or not?
35958In this place, I shall simply inquire, how the will may be conceived as coming under the idea of contingency?
35958In what lies the capability of actions having a moral quality?
35958Indeed, can we conceive of God otherwise than immediately knowing all things?
35958Indeed, what are human punishments, when properly considered, but divine punishments?
35958Is cause visible?
35958Is it a chimera?
35958Is it always observed?
35958Is it because responsibility and the duties of morality and religion are more immediately connected with the will?
35958Is it because the particular determination is the most reasonable, that it seems most agreeable?
35958Is it because to determine according to the most reasonable, seems most agreeable?
35958Is it because to go in the direction of the agreeable seems most rational?
35958Is it because to go in the direction of the rational seems most agreeable?
35958Is it of an antecedent necessity?
35958Is it of an antecedent necessity?
35958Is there any ground of certain knowledge respecting future volitions?
35958Is this a necessary connexion?
35958Is this a possible and rational conception?
35958Is this conception a possible and rational conception?
35958Is this connexion a necessary connexion?
35958Is this_ nisus_ itself a phenomenon?
35958Must its_ nisus_, its self- determining energy, or its volition, follow a uniform and inevitable law?
35958Now the same action may be committed by a man or by a brute-- and the man alone will be guilty: why is the man guilty?
35958Now what is the ground of all this clamour against contingency?
35958Now what is the simple idea of necessity contained in these two points of view, with their two- fold distinction?
35958Now what reason can exist, in any given case, why the volition or sense of the most agreeable is not produced?
35958Now when the will obeys the laws of the reason, shall it be asked, what is the cause of the act of obedience?
35958Now, is it true likewise that the cause which we call will, must, under given circumstances, necessarily produce such and such phenomena?
35958On the first supposition, the question comes up, how the different arrangements and conditions of the objects are brought about?
35958On the second supposition, how the changes in the state of the sensitivity are effected?
35958On the third supposition, how the changes in both, singly and mutually, are effected?
35958Shall God then be angry at the sight of the iron link?
35958Shall it be said that it seems most agreeable to him?
35958Shall we adopt the psychology of Edwards, and make the will and the sensitivity one?
35958That the will is determined by the strongest motive;--and what is the strongest motive?
35958The argument must therefore turn upon these two points: First, is contingency a possible conception, or is it in itself contradictory and absurd?
35958The greatest apparent good, or the most agreeable:--what constitutes the greatest apparent good, or the most agreeable?
35958The question now arises, how this one simple capacity of volition comes to produce such various volitions?
35958The real question at issue is, how are we to account for these facts?
35958The will now goes in the direction of reason, and now in the direction of passion,--but why?
35958To this stands contrasted the system of Edwards; and what is this system?
35958We are concerned only with this:--Do_ we_ do right?
35958We now return to the question:--Is the connexion between motive and volition necessary?
35958Well, then, it is asked, is not this liberty sufficient to constitute responsibility?
35958What is cause?
35958What is liberty?
35958What is moral inability?
35958What is necessity?
35958What is the meaning of this conception?
35958What is this antecedent?
35958What is this cause?
35958What is this nature?
35958What kind of certainty is it, then?
35958What moves the will to go in the direction of the sensitivity?
35958When nothing is required to the performance of a deed but a volition, do men conceive of any inability whatever?
35958When the will obeys the strongest desire, shall we ask, what is the cause of the act of obedience?
35958Where then do we observe this_ nisus?_ Only in will.
35958Who then is God?
35958Why does the will obey the reason?
35958Why?
35958Will not every one admit, that"when men act_ voluntarily and do what they please_, they do what suits them best, and what is most agreeable to them?"
35958You exhort and persuade him to arouse himself into activity; but what is his real condition according to this system?
35958because it is most agreeable: but why does the will obey because it is most agreeable?
35958do_ we_ do wrong?
35958why do you claim liberty here?
743And wherefore not?
743Is the sun the principal cause of the temperature of the earth? 743 What went ye out into the wilderness to see"said Jesus Christ:"a reed shaken with the wind?"
743Who enquires of an enemy, whether it is by fraud or heroic enterprise that he has gained the day?
743--Yet-- so capricious is fame-- a century has nearly elapsed, since Pope said, Who now reads Cowley?
743A primary enquiry under this head is as to the duration of life: Is it long, or short?
743Am not I therefore( the person engaged in reading the present Essay) the only being in existence, an entire universe to myself?"
743And is this mysterious and concealed way of proceeding one of the forms through which we are to pass in the school of liberty?
743And is this the proud attitude of liberty, to which we are so eager to aspire?
743And shall we teach men to discharge this debt in the dark?
743And to whom, said the king, wilt thou appeal?
743And who does not feel that every thing depends upon the creed we embrace, and the discipline we exercise over our own souls?
743And, if he did, where was the gold to be found, to satisfy his demand?
743Are the virtues of the best men, the noblest philosophers, and the most disinterested patriots of antiquity, nothing?
743But does any one, for himself or his posterity, expect to see this realised?
743But does it record nothing else?
743But how does the case really stand?
743But how does the matter really stand?
743But how shall I most effectually conceal the truth from him?
743But is it always so?
743But what I want to ascertain is, why the bare thought of doing so takes a momentary hold of the mind of the person addressed?
743But what are all these, when compared with those that fill the whole expanse, the boundless field of aether?
743But what has this to do with the world in which we live?
743Could I?"
743Did ever any one put out his penny to interest in this fashion for eighteen hundred years?
743Does not all this strongly argue the solidity of the science to which they belong?
743From what disposition in human nature is it that all this accommodation and concurrence proceed?
743He considers, Will this man submit to my summons without resistance, or in what manner will he repel my trespass?
743He might be ready to exclaim, with Hazael in the Scriptures,"Is thy servant more than man, that he should do this great thing?"
743He says, What am I, that I should be the object of this?
743How are we sure that they do then?
743How comes it then that our nature labours under so bitter an aspersion?
743How does this correspond with the goodness of God, which will suffer no mass of matter in his creation to remain unoccupied?
743How is all this to be done by me?
743How is this to be reconciled with the want of constancy which his organisation plainly indicates?
743How many men are there, that have examined the evidences of their religious belief, and can give a sound"reason of the faith that is in them?"
743How many men now exist on the face of the earth?
743How then does the question stand with relation to mind?
743I have here instanced in the case of the peripatetic: but of how many classes and occupations of human life may not the same thing be affirmed?
743I say, that one of the thoughts that will occur to many of the persons who should be so invited, will be,"Shall I take him at his word?"
743I should still say, Whatever I may do, whether it be right or wrong, I can not help it; wherefore then should I trouble the master- spirit within me?
743In what manner then shall these deputies be elected?
743Is it characteristic of a free state or a tyranny?
743Is it not enough?
743Is it not the first ejaculation of the miserable,"Oh, that I could fly from myself?
743Is its cause something of absolute and substantive existence without me, or is it not?
743Is not the Iliad a thing new, and that will for ever remain new?
743Is this the picture we desire to see of genuine liberty, philanthropic, desirous of good to all, and overflowing with all generous emotions?
743May I be allowed to tell it to my wife or my child?
743May not lines which have reached to so amazing a length without meeting, be in reality parallel lines?
743Must there not be in this subtle distribution much of what is arbitrary and sciolistic?
743Of these hours how many belong to the province of intellect?
743The experience we have had as to the truth of the smaller, does it authorise us to consider the larger as unquestionable?
743The instant this question is proposed, I hear myself replied to from all quarters: What is there so well known as the brevity of human life?
743The preceptor may occasionally perhaps prescribe to the pupil a severe task; and the young adventurer may say, Can I be expected to accomplish this?
743Then what may I not have to fear?
743Then what may be chance to say?
743Then what would not omnipotence effect?
743These new planets also we are told are fragments of a larger planet: how came this larger planet never to have been discovered?
743This brings us back to the question:"Is there indeed nothing new under the sun?"
743This certainly is a fearful judgment awarded upon our species: but is it true?
743What can be expected from the buds of the most auspicious infancy, if encountered in their earliest stage with the rigorous blasts of a polar climate?
743What can be more clear and sound in explanation, than the love of a parent to his child?
743What can be more different than the gentry of the west end of this metropolis, and the money- making dwellers in the east?
743What did this answer imply as to the political government of the country where it was given?
743What has not man effected by the boldness of his conceptions and the adventurousness of his spirit?
743What indeed is life, unless so far as it is enjoyed?
743What is it, that presents to every eye the image of liberty, and compels every heart to confess, This is the temple where she resides?
743What is the true explanation of these determinations of the human will?
743What looks of reproach may he cast upon me?
743What more unlike than a soldier and a sailor?
743What solution so natural, as that they are produced by beings like myself, the duplicates, with certain variations, of what I feel within me?
743What then were the obstacles, that should in any degree counteract my smooth and rapid progress in the studies suggested to me?
743When all these demands have been supplied, how many hours will be left for intellectual occupation?
743When the loose mountain trembles from on high, Shall gravitation cease, if you go by?
743Where is the man who can say that no unconscious bias has influenced him in the progress of his investigation?
743Which of us is happy?
743Who can behold the human eye, suddenly suffused with moisture, or gushing with tears unbid, and the quivering lip, without unspeakable emotion?
743Who is it that says,"There is no love but among equals?"
743Who shall pronounce that, under very different circumstances, his conclusions would not have been essentially other than they are?
743Who shall set bounds to the everlasting variety of nature, as she has recorded her creations in the heart of man?
743Why did the liberal- minded man perform his first act of benevolence?
743Why do these men take so different courses?
743Why is it then that disbelief or doubt should still subsist in a question so fully decided?
743Yet how many motives are there, constraining him to abide in an affirmative conclusion?
743Yet may not the mean temperature of the Georgium Sidus be nearly the same as that of the earth?
743Yet what is human speech for the most part but mere imitation?
743and whence comes it?
743every thing is very good?"
19549Do you want this?
19549How tall?
19549Ich( I) is not yet said, but if I ask"Who is''me''?"
19549Money, you?
19549On the eighth day she asked her brother''what he was helping himself to?'' 19549 Seem"to what part of the child?
19549What is that?
19549When?
19549Where is mamma?
19549Where is the baby in the glass?
19549Where?
19549Who gave you this?
19549Why is he called the sad?
19549Whyis heard by him, as a rule, less often than"What?"
19549With sealing- wax?
19549''And that?
19549''But what is that on the pavement, red?''
19549''What are they like?''
19549''Who is that that has passed us just now?''
19549( Little siskin, where is your little house?
19549( What shall we do to- morrow?)

19549( where) and Wohin?
19549( whither) had the same meaning( that of the French_ où?_), and this as late as in the fourth year.
19549("How tall?")
19549("Wer will unter die Soldaten?")
19549); sometimes_ was?_ four or five times when he had been spoken to.
19549Answer:"Go, I"( i. e.,"Do you stay or go?"
19549Ask,"What is the animal called?"
19549Being asked,"How do you like them?"
19549But, if two, why not several?
19549Does he recognize himself in it( p. 196,_ et seq._)?
19549Finally, he had at this time been taught to respond to the question,"Where is the little rogue?"
19549For it did not require frequent repetition of the question,"How tall is the child?"
19549For previously, when I asked the child as he was eating,"Does it taste good?"
19549For the child, when asked"Where is grandpapa?"
19549For what is the significance of the fact, that"to the child his feet, hands, teeth, seem a plaything foreign to himself"?
19549Further, to the question,"Do you like to sleep in the large room?"
19549Grandpapa?"
19549He asked,"Where is Mima?"
19549He comes out of his father''s room and I ask,"Well, have you said good- night to papa?"
19549He deliberates for as much as twelve seconds when the question is asked him,"Where is the rogue?"
19549He has also for a long time understood the"Where?"
19549He immediately imitated me, and afterward when he was asked"What does mamma do?"
19549He jests:_ Nein, Bergapots_, or,_ What kind of mots are those?_ He will not eat an apple until he has learned what the name of it is.
19549He knows very well who is meant when he is asked,"Where is grandmamma?
19549He now asks questions a good deal in general, especially_ What is that called?_ e. g.,_ What are chestnuts called?_"Horse- chestnuts."
19549He now asks questions a good deal in general, especially_ What is that called?_ e. g.,_ What are chestnuts called?_"Horse- chestnuts."
19549He now asks,_ Where is the dear Jesus?_"In heaven."
19549He saw his image immediately after waking, seemed very much surprised at it, gazed fixedly at it, and when at last I asked,"Where is Axel?"
19549He then slipped a handkerchief over his face and asked her to look again, when she playfully pulled it off and asked,''What is that?''
19549He went to the window and called out,''What is that moving?''
19549How can round and angular be distinguished, when only colors and gross differences of intensity and saturation are perceived?
19549How is it as to the existence and practicability of the nervous conduction, and the genesis of the centers?
19549How is it, now, with the normal child, who is learning to speak?
19549If I ask now,"From whom have you learned that?"
19549If I ask, e. g.,"What does the duck say?"
19549If he is asked"Who is_ I_?"
19549If the child, when he has eaten enough, is asked,"Do you want milk?"
19549If, e. g., I asked,"Where is the nose?"
19549In the eighteenth month,"Where is Omama?"
19549In the eighth month, there is unmistakable understanding of what is said; e. g.,"Where is the tick- tack?"
19549In the eleventh month, at the question"Where is mamma?"
19549In the twentieth month, her mother, after telling her a story, asked,"Who, pray, is this, I?"
19549In the twenty- first month the child laughs at his image in the glass and points to it when I ask,"Where is Axel?"
19549In the_ thirty- first month_ two new questions make their appearance: The child asks,_ Welches Papier nehmen?_( What paper take?)
19549In the_ thirty- first month_ two new questions make their appearance: The child asks,_ Welches Papier nehmen?_( What paper take?)
19549In these already learned co- ordinated movements made upon hearing the words"Please, How tall?
19549It is true that my question,"What is that?"
19549Just so in the case of the question,"Would you rather have the apple or the pear?"
19549Lately, however, he listened very earnestly to the three stanzas of"Möpschen,"and when I asked"What now?"
19549Lately, when he asked for some foolish thing, I said to him,"Sha''n''t I bring the moon for you, too?"
19549On the ten hundred and twenty- eighth day_ warum_( why?)
19549Once I asked him very distinctly,"Where''s the moon?"
19549Once when I said,"How tall?"
19549One thousand and twenty- eighth day,"Why?"
19549Only interrogative word is still"Where?"
19549Only the question,"Where is the thumb?"
19549Only to the questions,"Where is papa?"
19549Or we say,"Will you come?
19549Progress now became pretty rapid, so that at the end of the seventh month the questions,"Where is your eye?
19549Seldom speaks of himself in third person; gradually uses"Du"in address; uses"What?"
19549She also understood simple sentences, such as,"Where is the fire?"
19549So with the frequent question,_ Wie macht man das nur?_( How is that done?)
19549So with the frequent question,_ Wie macht man das nur?_( How is that done?)
19549Still, it seems remarkable that I did not once hear the child say"When?"
19549The answer that has been learned to the question,"How old are you?"
19549The auxiliaries are often omitted or employed in strange misformations, e. g.,"Where have you been?"
19549The boy must have thought,"How would it be if I felt of it?"
19549The child is asked,"Where is the moon?
19549The child picks it up quickly, holds it behind him, and to my question,"Where is the key?"
19549The first question,_ isn das?_ from"Was ist denn das?"
19549The first question,_ isn das?_ from"Was ist denn das?"
19549The frequent_ ist das_ signifies merely"das ist,"or it is the echo of the oft- heard question,"Was ist das?"
19549The little verses I sing at the same time amuse him, e. g.,"Zeislein, Zeislein, wo ist dein Häuslein?"
19549The mother asked some one,"Do you hear?"
19549The old tricks,"How tall is the child?"
19549The questions,"Where is papa?
19549The sentence ran,_ Warum nach Hause gehen?
19549The sole interrogative word continues still to be"Where?"
19549The verb"sein"( be) was very much distorted:_ Warum warst du nicht fleissig gebist?_( gebist for gewesen)( why have you not been industrious?).
19549The verb"sein"( be) was very much distorted:_ Warum warst du nicht fleissig gebist?_( gebist for gewesen)( why have you not been industrious?).
19549The word"Nein"( no) he uses as a sign of refusal; e. g.,"Will you have some roast meat?"
19549The word"Where?"
19549Then the witch said:"Nucker, Nucker Neisle, who is crawling in my little house?"
19549Thus, this very child( in the nineteenth month), when her favorite song,"Who will go for a Soldier?"
19549To all questions of an earlier period,"Where is the forehead, nose, mouth, chin, beard, hair, cheek, eye, ear, shoulder?"
19549To be sure, the question"Where have you been?"
19549To my question, after his grandfather had gone away,"Where is Grandpapa now?"
19549To the question of a stranger,"What is your name?"
19549To the question"Where have you been?"
19549To the question,"Did it taste good?"
19549To the question,"How do we eat?"
19549To the question,"Was thun wir morgen?"
19549To the question,"Where is Emmy?"
19549To the question,"Where is the eye?"
19549To the questions,"Where is your ear, your tooth, nose, hand, your fingers, mamma''s ear, papa''s nose?"
19549To- day, when I asked him"Did you see papa ride?"
19549Upon the question,"How tall?"
19549When a wheel creaked on the carriage, the child asked,_ Was macht nur so_( What makes that)?
19549When asked,"Where is Tick- tack?"
19549When at tea she took notice of the tray, observed the shining of the japan- work, and asked''what the color was round the edge?''
19549When one eye had been pointed out, I asked,"Where is the other eye?"
19549When some one asked,"Where is the brush?"
19549When the child''s father asked later,"Well, Adolph, what did you see in the park?"
19549When, therefore, the same child in his fifth year, to the improper question,"Whom do you like better, papa or mamma?"
19549Wo?
19549_ 17th Month._--He speaks his own name correctly, and when asked"Where is Adolph?"
19549_ Is there any thinking without words?_ The question takes this shape.
19549_ Ja wohl._ Being asked"Whose feet are these?"

19549and that"the child bit his own arm as he was accustomed to bite objects with which he was not acquainted"?
19549and the child replied,"_ Mamma"_"And who is that, you?"

19549he answered,_ O ja ganz lieberich gern_; and when I asked,"Who, pray, speaks so?"
19549he is accustomed to shut both eyes quickly at the same time and to open them again, and then to point to my eye; to the question,"Axel''s eye?"
19549he responds by pointing to his own; to the question,"The other eye?"

39769Am I my brother''s keeper?
39769Are n''t you well?
39769At last I said,''Do n''t you think we had better leave to- day? 39769 But surely you heard the piano being played?"
39769But what sort of ghosts haunt it?
39769Do we need anything else, Phædrus? 39769 Have many people seen him?
39769Have you known any one who has ever seen anything?
39769How is it done?
39769Is it always the same figure?
39769It is a very large house, I suppose?
39769Seen things? 39769 Then what did you see?"
39769Then you all heard it?
39769Well, what of it? 39769 What did she think of the bathroom?"
39769What sort of figures?

39769A day or two afterwards I said suddenly to the old family lawyer,"Was there ever a question of Uncle William leaving his money to me?"
39769After a few minutes of friendly conversation, which had taken an amusingly domestic turn, he said to me,"Now, how much has your husband got a year?"
39769After a little trivial conversation I said,"By the way, who is that brown man, dressed like a Satyr, who has been with you lately?"
39769Again, why did not Mrs. Sinclair see this ghost when her mother so plainly saw it?
39769Are burglars ever as rash as that?
39769Are the ghosts who haunt a dwelling indifferent to, or hostile to, the presence of their companions in the flesh?
39769As the horses were starting I called out to Miss Bates--"Tell me what''s going to win''The Cambridgeshire?''"
39769As the housemaid prepared to follow her I said,"Am I the only person sleeping on this floor?"

39769Did not the Christ warn his followers that the Path must be trodden more or less alone?
39769Do pictures originate the artist?

39769Every one is interested in getting rid of this weird disturbance, but how to do it?
39769For what, after all, is a mystic, but one who enters into possession of the inner life?
39769Had I not heard them stealthily beginning the ascent of the stairs, and grow louder the nearer they approached me?
39769He sat up in bed and called out,"Who is it?"
39769How do ghosts contrive to make such a noise?
39769How few people realize that they have never seen themselves?
39769How many can tell what they really look like?
39769How often one is asked the question:"What is a medium?"
39769How shall I describe the sight?
39769How treat, as having right to equal power, the wise and the ignorant, the criminal and the saint?
39769How well I know the look and the words accompanying it:"Are you Violet Tweedale, the novelist?
39769How would she deal with the next story I am going to relate?
39769How would this lady treat the"Castel a Mare"scream?
39769How, she asked, could a firm social foundation ever be built up on this utter disregard of nature?

39769I sat down again and began to wonder if Lord Colin was ill, or was he dead, and why was he carrying lilacs?
39769I was alone, but for how long would I remain alone?
39769I wonder why?
39769I would have laid hold of them and said,"Do you hear that knocking?

39769If the whole household was in the room what could they do?
39769In spite of this long friendship they were not the sort of people to whom I could have said,"Would you mind giving me another room?
39769Is he always there?"
39769Is it logical to suppose that there is no scheme of evolution for the immortal soul, in which it can preserve its individuality through the ages?
39769Lady Sykes laughed and replied,"Which are they?"
39769May it not be that this disembodied entity attached itself to my brother whilst he was out, and like a lost dog followed him home?
39769My father had put his invariable question to the old woman,"Have you seen her again?"
39769Nothing to be frightened of in that, is there?''
39769Now what does the subconsciousness contain?
39769Now will you give me your promise never to mention this subject to me again?
39769On the spur of the moment I said to my host,"Would n''t it be uncanny if we were to see a strange face looking down on us?"
39769Only then will come the perplexed question: Where can I see in all this overwhelming misery the Divine hand of love and justice?
39769Rats?
39769She paused, and I ventured to ask,"But what sort of shock?"
39769She set the tea down on a table and turned to me a scared face, as she answered by another question:"How ever did you find out that?"
39769Should I let go?
39769Supposing I did fall asleep, what would happen?
39769That was so, responded the ladies, and the burly Duchess inquired if Madame ever gave racing tips, or lucky numbers for Monte Carlo?
39769The hallucinations of a tired woman?
39769The question seems to me to hang more on the query-- do such creatures actually exist, than on the argument did I, or did I not see them?
39769Then I rang the bell, and when the butler entered the following dialogue took place:----"Who was the caller who has just been?"
39769There are people to- day who ask,"Is this the end of the world?"
39769Was murder taking place out there?
39769Was some spirit interested in racing hovering near?
39769Was this the real man and dog at last?
39769Were my nerves playing tricks with me?
39769What am I?
39769What are those entities working for?
39769What better shroud could any man ask for?
39769What brought about the decline of those mighty civilizations whose monuments of antiquity seem to mock our pride?
39769What can one do when paying a visit if one is ushered into a bedroom by one''s hostess which one instantly knows to be"unhealthful"?
39769What could I make of the affair?
39769What could Wynford have to say to any servant of Lord Strathmore?
39769What do you make of it?"
39769What explanation have I to offer?
39769What had I better do-- nothing?
39769What had prompted me to put that sudden question to the chambermaid?
39769What have we achieved?
39769What insidious disease brought about the fall of Rome?
39769What is an aura?
39769What is an elemental?
39769What is the Divine Law lying behind this seeming hideous injustice?
39769What is the grand apotheosis of each human life?
39769What is this astral counterpart of man?
39769What is this mysterious ego that thinks and acts?
39769What of our records?
39769What possible excuse could I make for cutting short my visit?
39769What should suddenly change a man''s whole disposition the moment he"shuffles off this mortal coil"?
39769What species of moth would he have declared them to be?
39769What then will be termed the severance we now call death?
39769What theory will explain this species of haunting which is quite common?
39769What was I to do?
39769What was I to do?
39769What was about to follow?
39769What was the power in you, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, that drew from countless women and men that wild unswerving devotion?
39769What was the secret of Helena Petrovski Blavatsky''s instant success?
39769What will become of all those grand old places in the future?
39769What would our grandparents have thought of this means of turning an honest penny?
39769What, I wonder, would he have made of that fat, gray flock sprinkling the bed?
39769What, it may be asked, is the value to a woman of psychic experiences, whose reality may be convincing to herself, but never to others?
39769When Christ asked,"Who has touched Me?
39769When I was once more alone with Madame Blavatsky, she turned to me with a wry smile and said,"Would you have me throw pearls before swine?"
39769When a break comes, perhaps through third- party treachery, there may come the sense of eternal severance, but is it eternal?
39769When were you last in Sicily?"
39769Where am I going?
39769Where are they now?
39769Where could they all have vanished to?
39769Where did that answer come from?
39769Where did you see him?"
39769Where had I seen this man before?
39769Where have I come from?
39769Where have they been lying hidden during all those flying years?
39769Where was she going?
39769Where was that stealthy watcher, whose baleful eyes I felt were fixed upon me?
39769Where will you be led: supposing you yield your will, would it ever be yours again?"
39769Where?
39769Which has the best chance of enduring in the future?
39769Which made light of terrible hardships, which followed you faithfully through glen and corrie?
39769Which?
39769Who and what are they, and for what distant shores are they bound?
39769Who can the"joker"be who is demoralizing his household, who has even dared to lock him into his own room?
39769Who on earth could she be?
39769Who was the player, and what was his instrument?
39769Why could we not leave to- day?''
39769Why did she come to that house, with which, it is certain, she had no connection?
39769Why did she only appear twice, and both times on the same date?
39769Why do ghosts suddenly take possession of a house with which, in their incarnate days, they have had no connection?
39769Why not?
39769Why should n''t you see a ghost?"
39769Will a member of the Psychical Society not try his luck?
39769Will these ancient civilizations be remembered when the fame of modern nations has vanished utterly?
39769Would I go and make inquiries?
39769Would I suddenly awake to the fact that some one unseen was pulling off the bedclothes?
39769Would one of the ladies suggest something she would like done?
39769Would some one come and try to strangle me in the night?
39769been on the Astral Plane lately?"
39769do books originate the author?
39769do n''t you know what that is?''
39769exclaimed Prince Arthur,"that letter is written by''The Pretender,''is n''t it?"
39769heard things?"
39769how do you think I am looking?''
39769who''d have thought it?
39485''A black Newfoundland, with a large white streak on his flank?'' 39485 ''About what?''
39485''And Monsieur Pelletier and the children, are they well?'' 39485 ''And the body of the dog?''
39485''And the dog has attached himself to the regiment?'' 39485 ''And what did he say?
39485''And what did you do then, Mary?'' 39485 ''And,''said I,''how of the ghost?
39485''Are you afraid,''I said,''to go yourselves in the haunted chambers?'' 39485 ''Are you going up there now?''
39485''Aye,''said he,''but where''s Robertson? 39485 ''Belonging to this regiment?''
39485''But Fritz?'' 39485 ''But do you seriously mean to say, that you believe this to be a visionary dog, and not a dog of flesh and blood?''
39485''But how can you live here then?'' 39485 ''But why did you leave?
39485''But why? 39485 ''Did you, sir?''
39485''Do you mean to say you''ve really seen Mungo?'' 39485 ''Hamilton,''said he to the butler,''where did Captain S. sleep last night?''
39485''Have you got my bat, Healy?'' 39485 ''He is dead, I suppose?''
39485''How absurd,''said Mr. Zwengler;''and are you going to do it?'' 39485 ''How did he wake you?''
39485''How?'' 39485 ''I suppose, Mary, you''ve never been away from home before?''
39485''Into Jokel Falck, sir?'' 39485 ''Is Robertson here?''
39485''Is any of your family ill?'' 39485 ''Is that the way he always wakes the men?''
39485''Is there much game in the forest?'' 39485 ''Jacopo Ferraldi?''
39485''Mais, ma bonne Françoise,''I said;''vous avez quelque chose-- est il arrivà © quelque malheur à   Metz?'' 39485 ''Master wishes to know if you''ll soon be done, ma''am?
39485''My dear fellow, what are you talking about?'' 39485 ''Not been here?''
39485''Nothing about farmer Gould?'' 39485 ''Of what period is it,''I asked,''and how happens it to have been made by an Italian?''
39485''Perhaps the dog has taken a fancy to him?'' 39485 ''That''s a new name they''ve got for Schnapps, is n''t it?''
39485''Then I suppose during the season the family live here?'' 39485 ''Then it is the upper floors that are haunted?''
39485''Was it a white cat, ma''am?'' 39485 ''Well Healy,''said I, as he rolled in the barrel of beer; have you heard any news?''
39485''Well, Healy,''I said,''is n''t this a shocking thing about poor Farmer Gould? 39485 ''Well, and what has happened?''
39485''Well, sir, I''ve heard so; but how should he know? 39485 ''What does Healy say?''
39485''What happened to him?'' 39485 ''What nonsense?''
39485''What sort of unpleasant things?'' 39485 ''What''s the matter?''
39485''What?'' 39485 ''Where did she go, James?''
39485''Where''s Captain B?'' 39485 ''Where?''
39485''Where?'' 39485 ''Who says so?''
39485''Who was he?'' 39485 ''Whose dog is that?''
39485''Why do n''t you abolish it?'' 39485 ''Why?
39485''Why?'' 39485 ''Why?''
39485''Yes,''said he;''will you come?'' 39485 And are you convinced that it was a spectre, and not a dog of flesh and blood?"
39485And did it seem generally believed?
39485And have you ever seen Mungo again?
39485Ar''n''t he come back with the stuff?
39485Are you really venturing to accuse the General of cowardice?
39485Arn''t he here?
39485But what were these two helpless women to do, mutually confirmed in their apprehensions as they naturally were? 39485 Did you hear if he had been there?"
39485Do you think the people who told you believed it?
39485Have n''t you seen him?
39485How should I know?
39485I suppose he has been in England?
39485If it is not a secret, perhaps you will tell it to me?
39485Is Coullie come in?
39485No.--Don''t you see he''s not?
39485Then, she is dead?
39485This question being answered, I said,''Did you meet anybody on the road that night?'' 39485 This was easily done, and we found the date and the name; the count paused, and then added,''I dare say you can guess it?''
39485Well, I think nothing can be so cowardly as to be afraid to own the truth?
39485Wha''s that?
39485What can that boy be doing, all this time?
39485What did the host say to it?
39485What is his name?
39485Where''s Coullie?
39485You did not meet him on the road, nor in the village?
39485You have heard, I suppose of spectral illusions?
39485You have n''t seen anything of Rob, have you?
39485You might have been on that side of the hill?
39485''But do you mean to say,''said I,''that that is the reason the family do n''t live here, and that the castle is abandoned on that account?''
39485''Did n''t you ask me to come and play a game at billiards; and did n''t I tell you I''d come as soon as I had finished my letter?
39485''Do you think I intend to become an assassin?
39485''Has he heard anything new about this affair?''
39485''I saw him this evening-- who does he belong to?''
39485''Let us take it out of the frame?''
39485''What did you say?''
39485''What has happened to Fritz?''
39485''What is Mrs. Greathead''s attachment to the hedge?''
39485''What reason have you for such an extraordinary belief?''
39485''Which is the long room?''
39485Anything else wanted, sir?''
39485But everybody said,''Where did he get the money?''
39485But what could be his reason for so strange a proceeding, and why, if he wanted to evade the meeting, had he needlessly shown himself at all?
39485Crowe?"
39485Did any of your family ever say they saw anything extraordinary there?''
39485Did he meet Rob that day on his way to Gifford?
39485Did n''t you like the place?''
39485Do you not think there_ are_ times when the material may give place to the supernatural?
39485Even Annie no longer defended him, for where else could he be all night?
39485H?''
39485Has Madame Pelletier got rid of her_ grippe_?''
39485He''s gone to Gifford ar''n''t he?"
39485How are your friends?
39485How beautiful are their characters when studied?
39485How should they?
39485How''s father?"
39485However, I was just going to advance, and ask him what he was doing?
39485I answered, rather indignant;''what do you mean by_ suppose_?
39485I believe that''s all, Ma''am?''
39485I ca n''t think what he can mean by playing at Hide and Seek in this way?''
39485I do n''t know whether you saw the remains of an old tombstone in a corner of the garden?
39485I had ceased to think of the circumstance, and inquired what old gentleman she meant?
39485I said; how is that?
39485I understand you lived in the house yourself a short time; may I ask if you found any similar difficulty?''
39485Is she to live with us?''
39485It was the first question addressed to him--"Where''s Rob?"
39485Mary,''said one of the younger ones,''were n''t you frightened?''
39485Perhaps you''d too much to do?''
39485Shall I put the beer in the cellar?''
39485She called to him,"Is Rob come?"
39485What could Rob be doing so much out of the road as the Quarry?
39485What is their relation to the human race?
39485What''s the use of trying to hoax one?''
39485Where in the world did this dog come from?
39485Where was he when you saw him?"
39485Which of the two should he follow?
39485Who does he belong to?''
39485Who gave you the message?''
39485Who is she, mamma?
39485Why are these creatures, sinless, as far as we see, placed here as the subjects of this barbarous, unthinking tyrant?
39485Why did n''t he keep his word with us?''
39485Why not really stay away from Portree?
39485Why?
39485Will you take me up stairs and shew me those rooms?''
39485Wo n''t he sell her?''
39485You''ve heard he was found dead in the road this morning?''
39485do n''t you see it?''
39485exclaimed my friend, in evident surprise;''when did you tell me so?
39485he chilled the marrow of my bones, and I could not away with him; so I said one day,"What if I go to England with the money?"
39485how willing they are to serve us when kindly treated?
39485how wonderful their intelligence when cultivated?
39485no, why should I be frightened at a shadow?''
39485not this morning, as you were passing my quarter?''
39485said Mrs. Colman,''do you know what you''re saying?''
39485was he pleased or otherwise, by the_ denouement_?''
39485what''s the matter?"
19376Are you going? 19376 But do they give satisfaction?"
19376But then,it will be said,"if she lives for the time being in the other world, why does she not relate her impressions when she wakes?"
19376Can you bring Stainton Moses here?
19376Do n''t you remember D.?
19376Do n''t you remember, James, that we often talked of your brother and the trouble he gave us? 19376 Do you recognise this book?"
19376Do you recognise this?
19376Do you remember old Dyruputia( Dupuytren)?
19376George, where did you know my son?
19376George, where did you stay with us?
19376Hear the whistle?
19376I wanted to know if you remembered anything about the dogs killing sheep?
19376Is that a blessing? 19376 No, James, I know you very well, but this one"( speaking again to Dr Hodgson),"Did you know the boys?
19376Was this after you went west?
19376Well, why do you not come out and say, Give me my step- mother''s name, and not confuse him about anything except what you really want? 19376 What, in their corrections?"
19376When?
19376Where''s Thompson? 19376 Why do you say that?"
19376Yes, was there anything else the matter?
19376A little later on, the following dialogue takes place between Miss Vance and George Pelham:"Now, whom do you have to correct your writings?"
19376After all, are there not famous men of science who declare that genius itself is only a neurosis?
19376An interesting question arises at the point we have reached--"What is Phinuit?
19376And now, can there be a conclusion to this work?
19376And what do they think of our life upon earth?
19376And why does it make just the mistakes that an imperfect, finite spirit would make?
19376Another time Robert Hyslop asks,"Do you remember the penknife I cut my nails with?"
19376Another time she says, quite at the end,"Is that my body?
19376Are these only analogies?
19376Are these traits thrown in intentionally by the communicator, the better to prove his identity?
19376At one of the first sittings he says, for example,"Do you remember what my feeling was about this life?
19376At one sitting he asks,"Where is Tom?"
19376At the 44th sitting,[28] Professor Lodge asked his Uncle Jerry, who is supposed to be communicating,"Do you remember anything when you were young?"
19376At the end, Mrs Piper often asks this odd question,"Did you hear my head snap?"
19376At this moment Dr Hodgson said,"Do you remember Mrs Warner?"
19376But if this is so, why does not Phinuit own it?
19376But presently George Pelham recognises him, and says,"How is your son?
19376But then why should the communicators grow clear with time?
19376But then, from whence did she take the other characters?
19376But, when the communication is not direct, when an intermediary is speaking through the organism, what should we think?
19376C. F. W.--"Have you any relatives living in Marseilles?"
19376C. F. W.--"Was Dupuytren alive when you passed out?"
19376C. F. W.--"What influence has my mind on what you tell me?"
19376CONTENTS PAGE Preface by Sir Oliver Lodge xi Objects of the Society xix Chapter I 1 Mrs Piper''s mediumship-- Is mediumship a neurosis?
19376Ca n''t you see me?
19376Can it be said that there were no inexact statements made by the communicator during all these sittings?
19376Can we say that the communicator George Pelham has never made a partially or wholly erroneous assertion?
19376Did you know me?"
19376Did you see the light?
19376Did you think I was no longer friend of his?
19376Do n''t you hear me?
19376Do n''t you know his name is Henry?
19376Do n''t you remember what a trouble I had to breathe?
19376Do you know Dr Clinton Perry?
19376Do you see the man with the cross shut out everybody?"
19376Do you see the man with the cross[87] shut out everybody?
19376Do you suppose that the swarms on the ground of the cave will run?
19376Do you?"
19376Does Phinuit better justify the title of doctor which he assumes?
19376Does not their silence on this point indicate that they are only secondary personalities of the medium?
19376Dr F. asked,[37]"Have you ever prescribed_ chiendent_ or_ Triticum repens_?"
19376Dr H.--"He wants to see me?"
19376Dr Hodgson asks,"What man?"
19376Dr Hodgson.--"Well, do you see that there is a conflict, because the brain substance is, so to speak, saturated with her tendencies of thought?"
19376Dr Hodgson.--"What about it?"
19376Each spirit is not so dim(?)
19376Finally, in order to attain to any result in these studies, money is needed-- why not say so?
19376For pity''s sake, are you her little daughter?"
19376G. P.--"Well, have you forgotten all I told you before?"
19376George Pelham is asked,"Could you not tell us something which your mother has done?"
19376H. W.--"How is Alice?"
19376H. W.--"How''s the Society, Lucy Stone and all of them?"
19376H. W.--"Where is my big silk handkerchief?"
19376H. W.--"Where is my thimble?"
19376H. W.--"Where''s William and doctor?"
19376H. W.--"Who''s Sarah?"
19376Have they any reason to be ashamed?
19376He asked,"Do you know what the trouble was when you passed out?"
19376He asks Dr Hodgson,"Do you know where the Hospital of God is( Hospital de Dieu)?"
19376He asks him,"Why do n''t you write on this subject?"
19376He asks,"What is Rogers writing now?"
19376He has very curious ideas about things and people; he receives a great deal about people from themselves(?
19376He said to her at a sitting,"Katharine, how is the violin?
19376He sends them expressions of affection,"Have I forgotten anybody, James, my son?
19376He welcomes Mr and Mrs Howard in a characteristic way:"Jim, is that you?
19376He will say,"Do you remember our being together in such a place?"
19376Here''s a little child called Stevenson-- two of them-- one named Mannie( Minnie?)
19376How can an infinite power seem at times so limited, so finite, when the conditions remain unchanged?
19376How could Phinuit guess this by simply touching a lock of hair?
19376How is it that telepathy, which can do so much, owns itself incapable, or nearly so, of determining the moment when an action has been performed?
19376How should such puny creatures as ourselves hope to solve the problems of the universe by_ a priori_ reasoning?
19376How then should the shape we men have in this world persist in the next?
19376How''s Mary?
19376How''s father and all the folks?
19376Howard.--"Our conversation, then, is something like telephoning?"
19376I do not remember any trouble-- tell me what it was about?
19376I feel so weak.... Is that my handkerchief?"
19376I made theories all my life, and what good did it do me?
19376If they are, as they say, disincarnated spirits, who formerly lived in bodies, why do they not say who they were?
19376Is it a woman or a man?"
19376Is it justified by the facts of experimental or spontaneous observation among psychologists?
19376Is n''t he writing something about me?"
19376It will come to that, without doubt, but will it be soon?
19376John Hart, at the first sitting at which George Pelham appeared, gave some sleeve- links he was wearing, and asked,"Who gave them to me?"
19376Mr Carruthers suddenly perceives the presence of Dr Hodgson and says,"You are not Robert Hyslop''s son, are you?
19376Mr E.[17]--"Lodge, how are you?
19376Mr Howard.--"Vernon?"
19376Mr T.--"What does your father do?"
19376Mrs B.--"Can you tell me where that letter is now that you wrote?"
19376Mrs B.--"Can you tell me, sister, how many brothers you have in spirit life?"
19376Mrs B.--"Can''t you tell me more about it?"
19376Mrs B.--"How long has he been?"
19376Mrs B.--"Sarah Grover?"
19376Mrs B.--"What Alice?"
19376Mrs B.--"What lot?"
19376Mrs Blodgett says,"Hannah, tell me whose and what is that?"
19376Mrs H.--"Well, what does he want to say to me?
19376Mrs H.--"Yes; which Aunt Ellen?"
19376Mrs Piper and the Society for Psychical Research CHAPTER I Mrs Piper''s mediumship-- Is mediumship a neurosis?
19376Must we believe in it?
19376Must we suppose that Dame Telepathy is a mere incarnation of the demon of fraud and deceit?
19376Nevertheless, George Pelham asks her at once,"How is the society getting on?"
19376O. L.--"Is it bad for the medium?"
19376O. L.--"What sort of person is this Dr Phinuit?"
19376O. L.--"You have seen my Uncle Jerry, have n''t you?
19376Of what use, then, are the small objects given to the medium?
19376Phinuit jokingly felt the mouth with his hands and asked,"What is this thing with a tube?"
19376Phinuit likes to say,"Bonjour, comment vous portez vous?
19376Phinuit seemed much surprised, and said,"What is the English of that?"
19376Phinuit.--"Do you know Mr Clark-- a tall, dark man, in the body?
19376Phinuit.--"How are you, Alfred?
19376Phinuit.--"It is a gentleman; and do you remember your Aunt Ellen?"
19376Phinuit.--"Oh, you did?
19376Professor Hyslop asks,"Do you know why she grieves?"
19376Professor Lodge.--"Can she send her name any better?"
19376Professor N.--"Can you tell me what he said?"
19376Professor N.--"Did you tell Hodgson this?"
19376Professor N.--"Is he asleep?"
19376Professor N.--"Is he far advanced?"
19376Professor N.--"Stainton Moses has been nearly three years in the spirit.... Do you mean to say that he is not yet free from confusion?"
19376Professor N.--"Was he a true medium?"
19376Professor N.--"Was not he good?"
19376Professor N.--"What do you mean?"
19376Professor N.--"You mean about progression by repentance?"
19376Professor Newbold.--"Did you ever know of him or know what he did?"
19376Professor Newbold.--"You taught that evil spirits tempt sinners to their own destruction?"
19376Professor Newbold[75] then asked,--"Do you know of Stainton Moses?"
19376Shall we say that while he was holding hands he had laid in a provision of knowledge for the whole half- hour?
19376Should we each admit conditionally the spiritualist hypothesis?
19376Should we follow them?
19376Something cold, is n''t it?"
19376Ted''s mother and.... And how''s Susie?
19376The final phrases are always Mrs Piper''s own questions and remarks: When she says,"Did you see the light?"
19376The one that lost the purse?"
19376The question was,"Do you remember Samuel Cooper, and can you say anything about him?"
19376Then how shall we understand the errors and confusions of the communicators?
19376Then why does it make mistakes?
19376Then, what interest could they have in deceiving us?
19376These speeches bring into the foreground the question:"What becomes of the medium''s spirit during the trance, if there is a spirit?"
19376To begin with, what is the origin of this telepathic hypothesis?
19376What can this"influence"be?
19376What does he mean by this?
19376What is it?
19376What made the man''s hair all fall off?"
19376What man living has not made a hundred such mistakes?
19376What should such mediums fear?
19376What''s his name?"
19376What, on the telepathic hypothesis, has had the power to create them?
19376Whence did the medium take them?
19376Whence does he come?
19376Whence his name?
19376Where are my glasses"( the medium passes her hands over her eyes)?
19376Where is the little outhouse?"
19376Where''s brother?"
19376Where''s doctor?
19376Where''s my comb?
19376Who was it went to Finland, or Norway?"
19376Whom shall we believe?
19376Why does he do that?"
19376Why is that?"
19376Why should they become lucid at the time when they ought to be still more confused, if the telepathic hypothesis is the correct one?
19376Why were the results so poor?
19376Why?
19376Why?"
19376Will it be said that these small dramas resemble the creations of the same kind which occur in delirium or dreams?
19376Will you comfort her?
19376Would it not have been wiser of Phinuit to hold his tongue than to tell us a mass of improbabilities?
19376You are not a great one for mathematics, are you?"
19376You certainly must remember it?"
19376You do not mean with me, do you?"
19376You have just learned, have n''t you?
19376You know me, do n''t you?"
19376You remember about my dress?
19376You remember all about my money?
19376You remember his big chair where he used to sit and think?"
19376You''ll know best and correct(?).
19376Your Uncle Jerry tells me to ask.... By the way, do you know Mr E.''s been here; did you hear him?"
19376[ 34] C. F. W.--"What medical men were prominent in Paris in your time?"
19376[ 67] Professor Newbold.--"Does the soul carry with it into its new life all its passions and animal appetites?"
19376and as James Hyslop did not understand what Tom he was speaking of, the communicator added,"Tom, the horse, what has become of him?"
19376have lost a child, have n''t they?
19376little Minnie Stevenson?
19376they will say,"is that all that spirits who return from the other world have to say to us?

28513It was for Us that our Lord overcome the Devil: and when he did but say,_ Satan, Get hence_, away presently the Tygre flew: Does the Devil molest Us?

23660''Why should I be frightened?''
23660Again I repeat, the question is not: Is it possible?
23660Again, might not telepathy be facilitated if we chose individuals of the same general temperament?
23660And how can a thought be photographed?
23660And if a motor current can exist and travel in this manner, why not a sensory current?
23660And if so, what are they?
23660And if they do, what is the cause of them?
23660And once grasped, is it not self- evident, and does not all else follow in consequence?
23660And what is its object?
23660And why should not many more messages be received from the hundreds and thousands who die yearly, and who are doubtless longing to communicate?
23660Are there any facts, amid all this superstition and ignorance, tending to show that genuine supernormal phenomena ever occurred at all?
23660Are there any facts, then, that would seem to indicate that the soul might be photographed?
23660Are these entirely electrical and chemical forces, the neural impulses being mere electrical currents?
23660Are these raps due to exteriorized vital force?
23660Are they astrals or elementals?
23660Are they crystallizations of thought?
23660Are they projections from the body of the medium?
23660Are they the hands of a spirit, or mere exteriorizations from the body of the medium-- materializations, only partially independent?
23660Are they the hands of"spirits,"inhabitants of the"Great Beyond"?
23660But as to the further question:"What is the nature of the intelligence lying behind and controlling these phenomena?"
23660But if so, how could such waves get through the skull to act upon the brain direct?
23660But in that case, why is not the person with the more sensitive retina affected by it?
23660But is it there?
23660But still the question obtrudes: How came these figures there?
23660But what of the energy?
23660But what of those other( relatively rare) cases in which supernormal information, unknown to the sitter, is obtained?
23660But, I shall be asked, is there any evidence for such a theory?
23660Can it be altered at will?
23660Can it be photographed?
23660Can so many cases of so remarkable a character be attributed to chance?
23660Can that too be dissected?
23660Can these raps be controlled at will, or directed and controlled when the subject is under hypnosis?
23660Can this energy be directed at will?
23660Could it be collected and analysed, as was suggested in the case of the cold breeze issuing from the scar on Eusapia Palladino''s forehead?
23660Could it not impress delicate physical instruments?
23660Could such a race have existed?
23660Could"life"act otherwise?
23660Do such facts exist which tell in favour of M. Bergson''s theory as against the other?
23660Does it affect the atmosphere?
23660Does one consciousness stretch out, as it were, and grasp the other passive mind?
23660Does the psychic constitution of the communicator affect the results-- and if so, how?
23660For if we try to picture to ourselves the process of telepathy as taking place in some manner other than physical, how are we to conceive such action?
23660Further, it may be urged, what evidence have we that consciousness can exist apart from brain- functioning?
23660H. C. CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE Preface v I Is Psychical Research a Science?
23660Have I, then, any theory to offer as to the nature of this power of life which is essentially new to physiology and biology?
23660Have giants of this character existed?
23660Have lens and light really nothing to do with their formation?
23660Have or have not the various personalities who have communicated through her entranced organism proved their personal identity?
23660Have we any evidence that the soul may be photographed-- say, at the moment of death?
23660How account for the facts?
23660How are we to account for such facts-- short of invoking some sort of mental interaction, through other than the ordinary channels of sense?
23660How are you, old chap?''
23660How can such an organism be built up?
23660How can we perform intelligent operations without intelligence?
23660How can_ will_ plastically mould matter in space?
23660How do the"spirits"manipulate the nervous organism, and particularly the brain, of the medium?
23660How does it manage to reflect light that affects the retina of one person and not the retina of another?
23660How does our author attempt to account for such a fact as this?
23660How does the medium''s mind affect the content of the communications-- and to what extent?
23660How does the sensitive perceive these impressions?
23660How has this progress been possible?
23660How is such action to be explained?
23660How much more difficult would it be if we were suddenly transplanted in_ another_ person''s body, and had to manipulate_ that_?
23660How was this?
23660How well could I hold a plough in stony ground and discuss protection and free- trade?"
23660How, then, are we to diagnose this condition when once it has been reached; and, when once diagnosed, how is it to be treated?
23660If both agent and percipient were placed in a strong magnetic or high- tension electric field, might not this in some way influence communication?
23660If both subjects were hypnotized, and the agent were told to"will"certain figures, etc., might not the percipient receive them more easily?
23660If objects can retain certain"influences"within them, what is their nature, and how are they retained?
23660If so, does this energy exude from the nerve termini, or is it connected only with the etheric body or double?
23660If so, how did it manage to move the board?
23660If so, where are these experiments recorded?
23660If this be so, I ask: Why should we allow the body to become diseased at all and thus necessitate its cure by mental or any other means?
23660If_ You_--then where am I, and who?"
23660In this way alone could we account for the facts; but even so, are they explained?
23660Inasmuch as man is connected with these lower organisms by an unbroken line of descent, why should not these factors explain man''s actions also?
23660Indeed, he sometimes used to annoy me by his indifference to what was going on...."[32] Does this look like suggestion?
23660Indeed, if true, what could be more terrible?
23660Is Psychical Research a Science?
23660Is it a physical breeze, or is it purely"psychical"?
23660Is it affected by passing a high- tension current through the body of the subject?
23660Is it connected with the phenomena of exteriorization of sensitivity or motivity?
23660Is it connected with the"astral"or"etheric body"?
23660Is the aura a form of physical radiation?
23660Is the medium''s spirit entirely removed from the body during the process of communication?
23660Is there any similarity between the two cases?
23660Is there not a connection between these phenomena and haunted houses?
23660It is useless to say beforehand whether or not such and such things are or are not possible; the question is: Do they exist?
23660May there not be psychical causation?
23660Now what about the_ connecting links_?
23660Of course the spiritual body would have to be material enough to reflect light waves, but where is the evidence that it is not?
23660Of what are they constituted?
23660Of what can they consist?
23660On what framework, so to speak, is the body constructed?
23660Once more: is"psychometry"a fact?
23660Or are there other forms of energy which experimental physiology has not as yet brought to light?
23660Out of what materials is it constructed?
23660Pictorially they are vile, but how came they there?
23660Presuming, then, that the movement or impelling force is the same in each instance, the question is: What is this force?
23660Shakespeare''s adage:"Who can minister to a mind diseased?"
23660Should we not apply the same laws to the phenomena of the nervous system, and institute a similar mode of experiment for the nervous energies?
23660Such a view of the case certainly gives a far greater dignity and power to the will; but is it true?
23660The facts, then; are they true or are they not?
23660The old objection:"Why must these things always be done in the dark?"
23660The question is: First, Do the facts occur?
23660The question now arises: Can these fluidic hands, which are thus exteriorized, move of their own volition, or must they remain stationary?
23660The question now arises: is the fluidic hand two- dimensioned?
23660The question then arises: Do the figures prove the causation of vital energy by food?
23660The question therefore remains: What happens in this trance state to render such results possible?
23660The question thus arises:_ What_ did the writing?
23660This theory( might we not say, this fact?)
23660To whom do they belong?
23660Travel- wearied, hubbub- dizzy, Would the simple Arab fain Get to sleep,--"But then on waking, How,"quoth he,"amid so many Waking, know myself again?"
23660Under what conditions can we conceive this transference?
23660Under what mental, physical, and, possibly, spiritual conditions does telepathy operate?
23660Upon what cells or centres do they operate?
23660Was I in my right mind?
23660Was he connected with machinery in life?
23660Was it a fainting fit coming on, epilepsy, paralysis-- possibly even death?
23660Was it a spirit?
23660Was it night, or had I been in some strange sleep?
23660Was there something amiss in my own hearing, then, that I could distinguish no word amidst these deeply emphasized tones?
23660Was this hallucination, or some vision of the unseen, coming in so unexpected fashion?
23660Were a series of experiments conducted to show which of the onlookers possessed the most sensitive eyes?
23660What are the forms of nervous energy which are employed?
23660What are they?
23660What becomes of the aura after death; and what changes, if any, does it undergo at the moment of death?
23660What degree of density can be attained?
23660What is happening in the brain-- especially in the psycho- motor centres-- when we move an arm by means of an act of will?
23660What is its condition when the subject is asleep?
23660What is its source?
23660What is the best mental condition of the agent?
23660What is the bond between the hand of the medium which makes a gesture in the direction of the table, and the table itself?
23660What is the condition of the communicator''s mind while communicating?
23660What is the connection between so- called"thought- forms"and materialized phantoms?
23660What is the good of ignoring that state, when it exists?
23660What is the nature of the intelligence animating the materialized figure?
23660What is the nature of the physical impact upon the table?
23660What is the nature of the trance, and what peculiarity within it renders these results possible?
23660What is the nature of the vital drain upon the medium and the sitters?
23660What is the nature of these fluidic hands?
23660What is the power which manipulates this matter?
23660What is the source of the information so often given?
23660What of dreams?
23660What part of us can perform conscious operations without our being conscious of them?
23660What produces them?
23660What was it?
23660What would be the effect of hypnotic trance?
23660What, then, is understood by the subconscious mind?
23660When the trance has been induced, however, how does the"spirit"succeed in imparting information to the medium''s brain and organism?
23660Where is the analogy in the two cases?
23660Where is the evidence that those with the most sensitive retinae were not the very ones who perceived, most perfectly, the spirit- hand?
23660Who and what is this Stranger?
23660Who directs and guides them?
23660Who does the writing?
23660Why are these communications so rare?
23660Why should the trance state have this effect?
23660Why such trouble with proper names?
23660Why this symbolism?
23660Why, then, is there so much mystery about it;_ why_ is it so extraordinary?
23660Will it affect the galvanometer needle, or other delicate electrical or physical instruments?
23660Would it not be more simple and more philosophical so to regulate the life that such diseased states and such cures are unnecessary?
23660[ 14] Is the interpretation correct?
23660[ 17] The question has been asked, What becomes of the potential energy contained in the food, if it is not converted into bodily energy?
23660[ 2] Might not this account for the fact that trance or"spirit control"practically never occurs during the hours of sleep?
23660[ 39] Why were Sir William Crookes''experiments with the spring balance not discussed, by the way, in this connection?
23660_ How_ do they communicate?
23660_ Why_ should the peculiar condition involved be instrumental in producing such striking results?
23660and how?
23660and if so, where is it, and what is it doing?
23660and what is the structure of the matter itself?
23660but, Is it a fact?
23660of the percipient?
23660or between the"charging- up"of a table or planchette board before it proceeds to answer questions and behave in the manner it is often reported to do?
42318And what,we inquired,"is this something that you have attained?"
42318Do you know who will be the next U.   S. Senator from this State?
42318In the hall of thieves,said the lady;"what on earth can be the meaning of that?
42318Of what must I take care?
42318What were they eating and drinking?
42318When did I hurt thee?
42318Where did she_ formerly_ live?
42318Where?
42318Will you try that over again?
42318''But how does friction produce heat in this case?''
42318''But it flows from the Gulf of Mexico?''
42318''But the Gulf Stream flows north; how, then, can the icebergs accumulate at its source?''
42318''Is she happy?''
42318''Is she in fault, or others?''
42318''That,''said I,''is false;''but not having heard from the family for several years, I asked again,''How many_ did_ she have?''
42318''Then why do n''t you go on?''
42318''What are you going to do with me?''
42318''What for?''
42318''What is the name of the living one?''
42318''What is your occupation?''
42318''What makes her unhappy?''
42318''When?''
42318''Why?''
42318''Will he ever pay me anything?''
42318''_ Three._''''Where are the other two?''
42318And again, what of that spicy colloquy in which Planchette writes the words"devil,""devil''s brother,""stir fires,""broil you,"etc.?
42318And how?
42318Are not many of the usages and familiar forms of speech of modern Christendom a return to old heathenism?
42318Are these the fruits of the misunderstood doctrine of total depravity?]
42318Are they not what St. Augustine calls a repudiation of the Christian faith?
42318At last I asked,''How many brothers has she?''
42318At this point she inquired:"Who is this that is giving this caution?"
42318But Satan can work only through human agents; and who were his instruments for the affliction of these children?
42318But is it a fact, then, that the great enemy whom Christ so constantly spoke of is dead?
42318But what is this doctrine?
42318But why should the devil connect himself with Planchette?...
42318Can you cite me some familiar fact to prove that man is actually surrounded and pervaded by a sphere such as you describe?
42318Curious, is it not?
42318DR. DODDRIDGE''S DREAM[ In concluding these Psychological discussions, what is there more appropriate than the following?
42318Do they believe they are united by intimate bonds with all Christ''s followers?
42318For example, she on one occasion said to it:"Planchette, where did you get your education?"
42318For illustration, suppose a man asserts at noonday that there is no sun, does he teach you there is no sun?
42318Green?''
42318Has it not looked with a jealous eye upon the progress of science generally?
42318He has been appointed to serve the world, and the world does not regard him; the negroes, and( who could believe it?)
42318He says:"How, then, shall we account for the writing which is performed without any direct volition?
42318How does that consideration stand?
42318How does that sound to you, my ingenious friend?
42318How so?
42318I then said:''Who are you?''
42318If I am not an intelligence, in the name of common sense what am I?
42318If a table may be made to spin around the room, why may not a wheel be made to turn as well?"
42318If it be called only a dream, or, even a delusion, what harm can come of it?
42318If thou believest the things which thou sayest to be true, why dost thou weep and lament and make a pageantry and a mock of thy singing?
42318If thou believest them_ not_ to be true, why dost thou play the hypocrite so much as to sing?"
42318In Planchette, public journalists and pamphleteers seem to have caught the"What is it?"
42318In justice to my little friend, however, I must not omit to state that in respect to questions as to the kind of weather we shall have on the morrow?
42318Is it anything more than the sheerest assumption?
42318Is it not in keeping with Scripture teachings, as now interpreted?
42318May I not, then, expect from_ you_ a solution of the mysteries which have thus far enveloped you?
42318May it not be spiritual food, of which their mother, the Church, has abundance, which she has neglected to set before them?
42318My friend C. here asked:"Ought she to go to Kentucky and attend to the matter?"
42318My question was,_ Can you tell me anything about my nephew?_''_ Mr.
42318Nevertheless, I am curious to know how you justify yourself in this disparaging remark on the theology and religion of the day?
42318Pray, how do you account for that fact?
42318She said to him:"For a further test, will you be kind enough to tell me where I last saw you?"
42318St. Chrysostom, speaking of funeral services, quotes passages from the psalms and hymns that were in common use, thus:"What mean our psalms and hymns?
42318Such were the answers to the questions:"How many brothers_ did_ she[ Mary C----] have?"
42318Such, for instance, is the answer"Nobody knows,"to the question"Where is Mary C----?"
42318Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels?"
42318Well, by what description of intelligence?
42318Well, then, what is the way to deal with spiritualism?
42318What is this communion which death can not prevent, and which with prayer can impart consolation?
42318When this theory is offered in seriousness as a final solution of the mystery in question, we are tempted to ask, Who is electricity?
42318Where is the shadow of proof?
42318Why should we not hasten and run after them that we too may see our fatherland?
42318Why?
42318Will you have the kindness to gratify me in this particular?
42318Would not a sermon conceived in the terms of this standard treatise excite an instant sensation as tending toward the errors of Spiritualism?
42318[ 2] Query: Have we here the_ spiritus mundi_ of the old philosophers?
42318_ I._ And what of the changed aspects of science that is to grow out of this alleged peculiar Divine manifestation?
42318_ I._ I see the point, and acknowledge it is ingeniously made; but do you not see that the argument fails to meet the whole difficulty?
42318_ I._ Of course they do; how otherwise?
42318_ I._ On what ground do you assert that the religion of the day stands in a position"negative"to other influences?
42318_ I._ Pray tell us what you mean by the dream- region that lies between the two worlds?
42318_ I._ Well, I should say he would teach the latter; but what use would the knowledge that he is such a fool be to us?
42318_ P._ Can you, then, bear an announcement still more startling than any I have yet made?
42318_ P._ Did not the heathens consult familiar spirits as petty divinities, or gods, and as such, follow their sayings and commands implicitly?
42318_ P._ May you not, then, from all this learn a rule which will always be a safe guide to you in respect to the matters under discussion?
42318and how and where did he get his education?
42318and is this the road our ancestors had to travel in their pilgrimage in quest of freedom and Christianity?
42318and was not that the reason, and the only reason, why the practice was forbidden?
42318and would not the Israelites to whom the Old Testament was addressed have violated the first command in the decalogue by adopting this practice?

42318or shall I see, or do this, that, or the other thing?
42318so great an event heralded by so questionable an instrumentality as the rapping and table tipping spirits?
42318that is to say, between mere verbal utterances and phenomenal demonstrations?
42318what is his mental and moral_ status_?
42318will such person go, or such a one come?
54370Am I not to believe what I see with my own eyes, and hear with my own ears?
54370O, Sir,cried one of the islanders,"why can we not return to the old way and not have all these modern ideas?
54370Again, should a conqueror be classed among the great?
54370And do not all persons develop one or more faculties, and neglect others, without causing any change in the bones of the face?
54370And how do they do it?
54370And should they?
54370And that if she took any other drug, the effects would not be about the same as they are known to be in practically all cases?
54370And then what more can the gods require?
54370And what are we to do with this common enemy of mankind?
54370And, if so, would it take eight or ten years before this could be done?
54370Are not animals affected by disease as well as man?
54370Are our churches to encourage the vice at their fairs in order to make money to_ redeem_ the world?
54370Are we to allow gambling houses to exist in our midst, thus inviting our young men to become victims?
54370Are we to allow lotteries and petty gambling devices everywhere as we do now?
54370Are we to emulate the faults of the great, or their virtues?
54370Because some men will steal, should we license them and furnish them with ways and means to carry out their brutal instincts?
54370But hold,--other difficulties present themselves: Who would compel the organized industries( Trusts) to reduce the hours of work?
54370But what has Christian Science done?
54370But what were the forlorn islanders to do about it?
54370But, should we listen for a moment to those who seek to exterminate the Trust?
54370But, who may say?
54370Can a person be a gentleman part of the time and not all the time, or is he born one way or the other?
54370Can a person who was not born a gentleman acquire the title?
54370Can so immense a collection of bodies meet and combine with unanimity?
54370Can such an association or society be organized?
54370Do we not all know now what a gentleman is?
54370Do you wish to isolate yourself from your fellow men and separately make and raise everything you eat and wear?"
54370Do you wish to return to that?
54370Does it not require quite a stretch of a sacrilegious imagination to picture a clothing factory in the spiritual world?
54370For example, suppose the coal mines remained idle,--what if the operators refused to obey the national directory?
54370For that matter, who can?
54370Has not the burden of the world''s work been lightened and lessened by this combination and organization?
54370How can the phrenologist reconcile his philosophy to this stubborn fact?
54370How can there be when a gentleman is a_ perfect man_?
54370How can we conquer the giant without slaying him?
54370How do we know that a man is popular with the people?
54370How?
54370I have frequently been asked by believing friends,"How do you account for this?"
54370If God is able to prevent evil, and is not willing, where is His benevolence?
54370If God is both able and willing, whence then is evil?
54370If God is willing, but not able, where is His power?
54370If employment is all we seek, why not tear down the public buildings and then hire men to build them up again?
54370If not, how about Confucius who was yellow?
54370If so, who would say that their meager minds could cause it?
54370If the public is the majority, who is to say that they are wise or unwise, right or wrong, fools or philosophers?
54370Is a great hangman as great as a great divine, and is the greatest clown to be numbered among the greatest men of history?
54370Is a great shoemaker a great man?
54370Is it a matter of birth, a matter of character, a matter of conscience, a matter of dress, a matter of conduct, or a matter of education?
54370Is, then, the spirit world( heaven), no improvement on our own world?
54370It asks itself"What is right?"
54370It sometimes attaches to ignorance, for who is today more popular than our champion batter or prize fighter?
54370It sometimes attaches to immorality, for did it not adopt the infamous Pompadour and du Barry?
54370It sometimes attaches to trifles, for was there ever such a fuss made over anything as the Teddybear?
54370It sometimes attaches to tyrants, for were not Caligula and Nero more popular than Germanicus?
54370Must the constitution be amended in order that NATIONAL DIRECTION shall be put into effect?
54370Now, my friends, why do you keep these God- given advantages to yourselves?
54370On the other hand, versatility of genius is not uncommon, for was not Leonardo da Vinci master of all the arts?
54370Or a Lincoln, Grant or Lee?
54370Or, should we try to cure it of its faults by training it to do our bidding?
54370Shall Booker T. Washington''s name not go on the immortal list just because he is black?
54370Shall Jesus''name be written on the scroll and not Buddha''s or Mohammed''s?
54370Shall Theodore Roosevelt go on the list?
54370Shall we class Joan of Arc among the great?
54370Shall we give Socrates a niche?
54370Shall we nominate Diogenes?
54370Shall we put Martin Luther on, and not Voltaire?
54370Shall we stop all this and let man''s passions have full sway?
54370Somebody has said that the majority is usually wrong, but who is to decide whether the majority or that"somebody"is wrong?
54370Still here mean that Osteopaths have a certain magic touch which is so powerful and wonderful that it must be used with great caution?
54370Still says that Osteopaths adjust displaced muscles, does he not?
54370That this touch lets loose certain drugs or chemicals which the body needs to cure itself?
54370The question is asked: Will all of the milk dealers one day combine and form a Trust?
54370The question may be asked, What power can compel the Trusts to do that which they have been directed to do by the nation?
54370There is an old saw that runs--"What is a gentleman?
54370These are questions on every tongue, yet who may say the answer?
54370Was Caesar great?
54370Was there ever a more popular man than Dewey after the Manila victory?
54370What are the qualifications and requirements?
54370What can be done with this unmanageable monster to destroy its faults and yet not spoil its virtues?
54370What does all this show?
54370What is a gentleman?
54370What is a wedding, and a marriage, and why?
54370What is genius?
54370What is greatness?
54370What kind of a beard shall we wear?
54370What matter if all of that is true or false?
54370What object was sought, in the beginning, when custom demanded a marriage ceremony before cohabitation?
54370What people?
54370What then have bumps to do with his mind?
54370What would prevent them charging exorbitant prices?
54370Who are the great and the greatest men of the time?
54370Who or what is to be the court of last resort?
54370Who or what would prevent the captains of industry filling their own pockets and keeping the great profits to themselves?
54370Who or what would prevent the rich from growing richer, and the poor poorer?
54370Who were the greatest men of history?
54370Who would favor a"beardless youth"to Numa Pimpolius-- he of the magnificent flowing beard?
54370Who would know good horses if there were no heavy loads?"
54370Who would prefer a Shakespeare, a Longfellow, a Whitman, a Ruskin, a Charlemagne, shorn of their hirsute adornments?
54370Who would say that the Boston tea party_ caused_ the Revolutionary war, or that the firing on Fort Sumpter_ caused_ the"late unpleasantness"?
54370Why can we not go back to the old way?"
54370Why do n''t you exchange what you make or raise for the products of your neighbors?
54370Why do we cling to error so tenaciously?
54370Why does every new, occult fad soon attract a host of followers?
54370Why has that ancient custom followed man to every far corner of the globe, and why do all peoples resent any effort to destroy that custom?
54370Why is it that so many are willing to attribute occult powers to all magicians who perform inexplicable tricks?
54370Why so many different forms of ceremony, what do they mean, and why do they differ so?
54370Yes, who would not expect it?
54370Yet who would say, under those circumstances, that Mind has endowed those drugs with the powers to act on the system as they do?
54370You say that Julian argued arduously against the beard?
54370You say the ancient Egyptians wore no beards?
54370_ The Public_ Who or what are the public?
54370and was not our own Franklin equally famous for his several accomplishments?
54370did not Lord Brougham excel in everything, until they said of him"Science is his forte, omniscience his foible"?
54370exclaims Chamfort,"how many fools does it take to make the public?"
54370not"What will the public applaud?"
54370on all beards above a fortnight''s growth?
54370or, that of walking under a ladder, for how many times in a lifetime does a person have occasion to avoid doing so?
38621In what sense,asks President Day,"is it true, that a man has power to will the contrary of what he actually wills?
38621What is it?
38621A question may very properly be asked here, what are these opinions, judgments, admissions, pre- judgments,& c.?
38621A question of great importance here presents itself: By what test shall we determine whether the Will is, or is not, in full harmony with the law?
38621Are not the commands requiring them fully met in such acts?
38621Are they not, on the other hand, presented as voluntary states of mind, or as acts of Will?
38621Are they real affirmations of the Intelligence, or are they exclusively phenomena of the Will?
38621Are they real affirmations of the Intelligence?
38621As distinguished from the action of the Sensibility, what can it be, but a voluntary state, as presented in the Old Testament?
38621Ask him why he makes this declaration?
38621At another, it is said to be nothing but Certainty, or moral Certainty,& c. Now the question arises, what is this Certainty?
38621But on what ground is this conclusion warranted?
38621But who does not see, that it is a most vicious reasoning in a circle?
38621But yet can we not from analogy form such an idea?
38621But, gentlemen, why must there be this contradiction?
38621Can He not exercise the very sovereignty which infinite wisdom and love desire?
38621Can a being who is not a_ moral_ agent sin?
38621Can the Intelligence affirm that a state of moral impurity is better than a state of moral rectitude?
38621Can we conceive of a greater absurdity than that?
38621Can we conceive of a greater absurdity than this?
38621Did ever a greater absurdity dance in the brain of a philosopher or theologian?
38621Did he obey his Intelligence, or Sensibility there?
38621Did the prior goodness of David make his acts of adultery and murder partly good and partly bad?
38621Do we not know, however, as absolutely as we know anything, that we_ can not_ affirm perceived contradictions?
38621Do we not necessarily affirm his virtue to be great in proportion to the strength of the propensity thus perfectly subjected to the Moral law?
38621Does the Will never harmonize with the Sensibility in opposition to the Intelligence?
38621Else why tell an individual he is to blame for being in such circumstances, and not to place himself there again?
38621Has God given, or does our own reason give us, a standard of moral judgment of which no one can form a conception, or give us a definition?
38621Has a God of truth and justice ever laid upon men such a requisition as that?
38621Has not God himself affirmed in one revelation what he has denied in another?
38621Has the Most High given two such revelations as this?
38621Have we any reason for thus imposing upon the Deity the limitation of our own feebleness?
38621How can Necessitarians meet this argument?
38621How can an equal liability to two distinct and opposite courses, be a ground of assurance, that we shall choose the one, and avoid the other?
38621How can the Necessitarian account for such facts in consistency with his theory?
38621How do we know that these two facts are not perfectly consistent with each other?
38621How do you remove them according to your theory?
38621How long would it take him to compose himself to sleep in this manner?
38621How shall we account for the absence of self- reproach in the former instance, and for its presence in the latter?
38621How shall we account, in consistency with this theory, for the existence of this idea in the mind?
38621How then can a mind, thus constituted, generate and confirm the habit of sinning?
38621How then can creatures"sin_ in_ and_ through_ another"six thousand years before their own existence commenced?
38621How, I ask, can the doctrine of Necessity be extricated from such a difficulty?
38621How, it is asked, shall we account, on this theory, for_ particular_ volitions?
38621If A and B are to the Intelligence, in all respects, absolutely equal, how can the Sensibility impel the Will towards A instead of B?
38621If this is so, sin, in all instances, is a mere blunder, a necessary result of a necessary misjudgment of the Intelligence?
38621In such an assertion, is he not wise, not only_ above_, but_ against_ what is written?
38621In this respect, has it altogether a superiority over the doctrine of Necessity?
38621In what sense does God purpose, preordain, and bring to pass, the voluntary conduct of moral agents?
38621In what sense, then, have they power to will and act differently according to this doctrine?
38621In what sense, then, is or is not, man free, according to the doctrine of Necessity?
38621Is it in the power of the Intelligence to affirm guilt of that creature?
38621Is it or is it not, real Necessity, and nothing else?
38621Is it possible for me, in my present circumstances, to avoid sin?
38621Is it so?
38621Is it the doctrine really held by those who professedly agree with him?
38621Is not the guilt of the individual aggravated in proportion to the depth and intensity of the feeling which he is endeavoring to suppress?
38621Is not this loving with all the heart?
38621Is not this the strangest idea of Natural Ability as constituting the foundation of obligation, of which the human mind ever tried to conceive?
38621Is not this your real meaning?
38621Is not your Natural Ability this, that I might obey if I did obey?
38621Is not_ existence_ necessary to moral agency?
38621Is there any virtue at all in such a state of mind?
38621Is this Liberty as distinguished from Necessity the liberty which lays the foundation of moral obligation?
38621Is this Liberty, the only liberty of man, a liberty which may be destroyed by chains, bolts, and bars?
38621Is this a true exposition of the Government of God?
38621Is this the philosophy of the Will pre- supposed in the Bible?
38621Is this the philosophy pre- supposed in the Bible?
38621Is this the philosophy pre- supposed in the Bible?
38621Is this the principle on which the decisions of that Day are based?
38621Is this your idea, when you say, you can do as you please?
38621Is this, for example, the doctrine of Edwards?
38621It becomes a very important inquiry with us, To what extent, and in what sense, is this maxim true?
38621It is therefore a very legitimate, interesting, and profitable inquiry-- what is the system of mental science assumed as true in the Bible?
38621It must be so, if the doctrine of Liberty is not, and that of Necessity is, the doctrine of the Bible?
38621Now an important question arises, By what_ standard_ shall we judge of the moral character of intentions?
38621Now, how happens it, that no man holding the doctrine of Liberty was ever known to deny that of obligation, or of merit and demerit?
38621Now, what are these opinions, judgments, and notions?
38621Now, what is the doctrine of Ability, according to this scheme?
38621Of what use can the internal revelation be, but to render us necessarily sceptical in respect to the external?
38621Shall he plead these in excuse for sin?
38621Shall we not then have almost inextricably lost ourselves in the labyrinth of error?
38621The first inquiry that presents itself is this: Do Necessitarians hold the doctrine of Necessity as defined in this chapter?
38621The first inquiry which naturally arises here is What is the proper meaning of this proposition?
38621The public are entirely deceived by this definition, and because they are deceived as to the theory intended by it, do they admit it as true?
38621The question is, Are these virtues or affections, presented in the Bible as mere convictions of the Intelligence, or states of the Sensibility?
38621The question is, can an individual intend to obey and to disobey the law, in one and the same act?
38621The question is, does the belief of the doctrine of Liberty tend intrinsically to induce the exercise of this spirit?
38621The question now arises, in the light of all these great truths, What relation do the Divine purposes and agency sustain to human action?
38621The question now returns, Is"the Will always as the greatest apparent good,"in either of the senses of the phrase as above defined?
38621Under such circumstances, who should not be admonished, that he should"dig deep, and lay his foundation upon a rock?"
38621WE are now prepared to consider the question, whether each moral act, or exercise, is not always of a character purely unmixed?
38621Was not the conflict between the two, and did not the latter prevail?
38621Was the Intelligence deceived in this instance?
38621We are now prepared to meet the question, To which of the relations above defined shall we refer the phenomena of the Will?
38621We may properly ask the Necessitarian whence he obtained this knowledge, so vast and deep; whence he has thus"found out the Almighty to perfection?"
38621What do such facts indicate?
38621What excuse have you for not yielding to that conviction?"
38621What if a philosopher, for that reason, should form his theory of optics by looking at the stars?
38621What if he should with all possible intensity will to walk?
38621What if the decisions of our courts of justice were based upon data from which the testimony of all material witnesses has been formally excluded?
38621What if the devil, and all creatures called sinners, had always done the same thing?
38621What if, from the fact, that the Will has its law, it should be assumed that Liberty is that law?
38621What individual that has ever perpetrated such deeds has not said, and can not say with truth,"I know the good, and approve it; yet follow the bad?"
38621What is an event without a cause, if this is not?
38621What is self- denial but placing the Will with the Intelligence, in opposition to the Sensibility?
38621What is that in which, according to the express teaching of inspiration, we learn the nature of this love?
38621What is the evidence?
38621What is the nature of this love?
38621What is this but a voluntary act?
38621What is this spirit?
38621What is this, but a positive assertion, that a moral action of a mixed character is an impossibility?
38621What more can be said of God, or of any being ever so pure, than that he has always done what his Intellect affirmed to be best?
38621What more can properly or wisely be demanded?
38621What more ought a moral agent to intend than the highest good he can accomplish?
38621What must have been his intention in so doing?
38621What must intelligent beings think of probation for a state of eternal retribution, probation based on such a principle?
38621What other meaning can we attach to the phrase,"forsaketh all that he hath?"
38621What shall we think of these two states?
38621What then are the extent and limits of the Liberty of the Will?
38621What then becomes of the objection under consideration?
38621What then is the exclusive tendency of this doctrine?
38621What would be the consequence?
38621What would be the response of an assembled universe to a division based upon such a principle?
38621What would be thought of such a treatise?
38621What, on this supposition, is the meaning of the declaration,"How can ye, who are_ accustomed_ to do evil, learn to do well?"
38621What, then, according to the theory of Necessity, becomes of the doctrine of Ability?
38621What, then, is Liberty as opposed to Moral Servitude?
38621When you say that I might obey, if I chose, I would ask, if choosing, as in the command,"choose life,"is not the very thing required of me?
38621When, therefore, you affirm that I might obey, if I chose, does it not mean, in reality, that I might choose, if I should choose?
38621Whence this solitary intruder in the human mind?
38621Where is the conceivable ground for the imputation of moral guilt to them?
38621Where is the individual that, unaided by an influence out of himself, has ever attained to a dominion over his own spirit?
38621Where is the tendency to induce a spirit of dependence, in such a conviction?
38621Where then is the place for error, for wrong opinions, and pre- judgments?
38621Who believes that?
38621Who can believe, that the pillars of God''s eternal government rest upon such a doctrine?
38621Who does not know, that the great difficulty lies in the enslavement of the Will to a depraved Sensibility?
38621Who would dare affirm the contrary?
38621Who would dare to affirm, when he has any particular emotions, that all moral agents in existence are bound to have those identical feelings?
38621Who would dare to say that there is?
38621Who would look to such decisions as the exponents of truth and justice?
38621Why did I not?"
38621Why do I not now experience pleasure instead of pain, as a consequence of that injury?
38621Why do we not blame the animal for this nature?
38621Why may we not know, with equal certainty, whether the phenomena of the Will do or do not fall under the relation of Liberty?
38621Why should the study of the Will be an exception?
38621Why should we doubt or deny it in the latter?
38621Why?
38621With such knowledge and resources, can God exercise no government, but that of a degraded sovereignty in the realm of mind?
5651''Lora: you are happy now?
5651''The temptation of a bribe?
5651A poodle dog,cried I eagerly,"with his coat unclipped,--a rough brown dog?"
5651About this? 5651 Adelais, O Adelais,"he cried in his despair,"Why will you refuse me always?
5651Adelais,said he, presently,"you do not love me?"
5651Ah? 5651 And Antoine?"
5651And does she wish it too?
5651And the luck has not turned yet in Saint- Cyr''s case, I suppose?
5651And the mule?
5651And where does Noemi Bergeron live?
5651And who is your generous benefactor?
5651And will you always keep silence?
5651And you and he are engaged to be married, is it not so?
5651And you can tell me nothing about her now,--you know no more than that?
5651And you go alone?
5651And you-- have you business in Bale?
5651Both of us?
5651But it can not cost you much to live, Noemi?
5651But may I, without danger of seeming too inquisitive, ask you one question more?
5651Dead?
5651Dear friend, why should you leave us? 5651 Did no one ever tell you anything about its history,"I asked,"or were you never asked any questions about it until now?"
5651Do I look as if I were traveling for pleasure''s sake?
5651Do n''t you know, Miss?
5651Do n''t you know?
5651Do you, then,I asked,"desire the whole world to abandon the use of fire in preparing food and drink?"
5651Father,he asked, tremulously,"shall I not see that good Gluck again and tell the monks how he saved me, and how Fritz and Bruno brought you here?"
5651Have you any idea,said I, at last,"whether there''s any story connected with that place where I slept last night?
5651Have you told''Tista anything?
5651Hein?
5651How can that be?
5651How many?
5651How old do you suppose the patient to be?
5651I am to tell her this--asked Herr Ritter, recovering himself with a prodigious effort"from you?"
5651I sold half a metre of it about three weeks ago,said she slowly,"to Noemi Bergeron; you know her, perhaps?
5651If I tell you at all, boy,said the wine- merchant,"I shall tell you the truth; can you hold your peace like a man of discretion?"
5651If this be so,said I,"why did you build your house in the midst of this forest, and why are there no shutters to the windows?
5651Indeed?
5651Innocent-- she innocent? 5651 Is it a good road from here to--?"
5651Lace- making does not pay well, then?
5651My dear Frau''Lora, who thinks of such things twice? 5651 My little old gentleman dead?
5651No more?
5651So,said I, taking a chair beside her,"you are going to earn your living again by making lace?"
5651The fruit- seller''s child? 5651 The same price, then, Herr?
5651Then after yet another ten years had passed, they sent a third time, asking,''What dost thou claim to be, Gotama?'' 5651 Then, Maurice, you do n''t care to see her once more before you sail?
5651They,I interpolated,--"is the wife, then, also ill?"
5651This, then,asked''Lora, gently,"is why you gave up the world, that you might be alone?"
5651Tista, how is your mother today?
5651Was it a love story, Eugene?
5651What are trumps?
5651What did she say? 5651 What have I done, monsieur?"
5651What person is that?
5651What''s that to you?
5651What,--Antoine?
5651When are we to be shot?
5651Where am I?
5651Who are they?
5651Who is that?
5651Why,said they,"do you suffer your subjects to die for your daughter''s sake?
5651Will ye just step in now and take somethin''? 5651 Will you tell me, madame,"said I with my most agreeable air,"whether you recollect having sold any of that tinsel ribbon lately, and to whom?"
5651Willum, do n''t ye think as the gentleman might be put to sleep in the room up at the House, where George slept last time he was here to see us? 5651 Wo n''t you have one of them, Herr Ritter?"
5651Yes; Signora,he answered, mildly,"I bring you this letter; may I beg you will read it now, before I go?
5651You know the girl,she squeaked, eyeing me greedily,--"will you pay her rent?
5651You lave no regrets, then, Herr Ritter?
5651You say you slept last night in Steepside mansion?
5651You turned her out?
5651You will have no companions to join you?
5651-------------"How can you have the answer before I have written it?"
56517 for a moment?
5651And I awoke, repeating to myself the question,"How could one woman become three?"
5651And I heard them say one to another,"Brother, what hast thou in thy casket?"
5651And as for the lesser considerations of our daily being, what are they?
5651And the Carpenter answered,"How then shall the Temple of the Lord be builded?
5651And the other asked him,"What buildest thou, brother?"
5651And this open country under the eastern night,--is it not the same in which they were"abiding,"to whom that Birth was first angelically announced?
5651And was the wedding- day fixed?
5651And why do they write backwards?
5651And, shall I tell you what else I am thinking about, Herr Ritter?
5651Are not their very creeds pretexts for slaughter and persecution and fraud?
5651Are we not of three Ages, and is the temple yet perfected?"
5651Are you mad, or a fool, that you do not know every one can see from without into your lighted rooms?"
5651Art thou not of Solomon, and he of Christ?
5651Before I accept your kindness, will you permit me to tell you the nature of the journey I am making?
5651Birth lights, or funeral pyre?
5651But I may go and thank her myself; I may go and thank her?"
5651But he who sat next the last speaker answered,"Truth also is partial; for where is he among us who shall be able to see as God sees?"
5651But she made answer very sadly and slowly:--"Stephen, ought the living and the dead to we d with one another?
5651But supposing Adelais loved you, and my father and-- and-- everybody else you know, wished her to be your wife, how would you feel towards her then?
5651But tell me, Cameron, for you know I must needs divine something from all this; your sister loves my boy Maurice?"
5651But then, if not?
5651But what is that strange singing I hear beneath your cloak?"
5651But what noise is that yonder?"
5651But you are a strange old darling, are n''t you, Herr Ritter?"
5651But, Adelais, is there nothing more than this that troubles you?
5651But, pardon me, are you a stranger in this city, sir?"
5651Ca n''t you come over here and play for me?"
5651Can you tell me anything of your lodger, Noemi Bergeron?"
5651Can you tell?
5651Could I make them any wiser, purer, gentler, truer than they are?
5651Could I teach them to be honest in their dealings with each other, compassionate, considerate, liberal?
5651Could any one be angry with her?
5651Could it have been upon the page before I turned it?
5651Do n''t you see my heart is breaking for love of you?
5651Do n''t you think him like a baby, monsieur?"
5651Do they not support even their holiest truths, their sincerest beliefs, by organised systems of deceit and chicanery?
5651Do you think me a child to be fooled by such a tale?"
5651Does monsieur know me, then?"
5651Does not this suffice?--is not the end great enough to justify the means?"
5651For him I can not refuse the money; can I, Herr?
5651For of what value to man is the Mind without the Soul?
5651Gleams from the altar- lamps seven?
5651Have you been there this evening?"
5651Have you found it sweet, Frau''Lora?
5651Have you not heard the story of my lion?"
5651Have you not lost a brown poodle with a ribbon like this round his throat?"
5651Have you not often spoken before of dying, and yet have lived on?
5651How can I get money-- and get it quickly-- for her sake and for the child''s?''
5651How can that be?"
5651How could I tell him that he interested me so much as to make me long to know the romance which, I felt convinced, attached to his expedition?
5651How could a myth give me this living bird?"
5651How could he tell her that Maurice had already found himself a rich handsome wife in India?
5651How shall we understand this word` perfection''?"
5651I repeated,"Noemi dead?"
5651I suppose you will be married soon now, wo n''t you?"
5651If they have not heard the prophets, nor even the divine teacher of Nazareth, shall I be able to do them any good?
5651In the mangled corpses and entrails of these victims our augurs find the knowledges we seek,""And what knowledges are they?"
5651Is it the breaking of day?
5651Is it the glare of a fire?
5651Is it your wish then that these two should marry?"
5651Is n''t it good of him?
5651Is this the bitter end of all, and must I lose my darling so?
5651May you tell me, as we sit here together?
5651O why should you die now and break my heart outright?"
5651Or did he sink into the reeling swirl of the foaming waters, and die more mercifully in their steel- dark depths?
5651Or shall I never leave purgatory, but burn, and burn, and burn there always uncleansed?
5651Presently I ventured another question:"You go on business, perhaps-- not on pleasure?"
5651Shall I ever go to paradise-- to paradise where the saints are?
5651Shall I tell it to you, Lizzie?
5651She must have known he was married, for why else did he not marry her?
5651She paused at the door and added shyly,"You will really come tomorrow morning?"
5651She put her hand into his, and fixing the clear light of her brown eyes full upon him:"Why,"she said, hurriedly,"do you ask me this?
5651Shortly after the dream began, my partner addressed me, saying,"Do you play by luck or by skill?"
5651Should I go to bed?
5651Should I, too, be sucked in and absorbed, and perhaps C. after me, knowing nothing of my fate?
5651Signs of the Times Eyes of the dawning in heaven?
5651Silence?
5651Slept well last night, sir?"
5651Sparks from the opening of hell?
5651Stephen, Stephen, do n''t you see that I am dying?"
5651That is so, is it not, monsieur,--is it not?"
5651That she is poor, in want, widowed, and almost dying?"
5651The boy''Tista surely came with the morning, and learned at last, even though too late, who had been his unknown friend?"
5651The idea flashed on me that he would certainly turn, and then-- what could happen?
5651The world?
5651Then they said,"Where is that country of which you speak, and who is this wonderful Princess?"
5651This empty picture had, moreover, an odd metallic coloring which fascinated me; and saying to myself"Is there really any painting on it?"
5651To what end do you plod there every day,--you who are wifeless and childless, and have no need of money for yourself?
5651Was I doomed?
5651Was he speared on those terrible shafts of rock below, or was his life dashed out in horrible crimson splashes against the cliffside?
5651Was it the shock of an emotion coming unexpected and intense after all those dreary weeks of futile watchfulness?
5651Was it the strong love in St. Aubyn''s cry that broke through the spell of disease and thrilled his child''s dulled nerves into life?
5651Was this sarcastic?
5651Well, Herr Ritter, I daresay you think my story a very long one, do n''t you?
5651What can you gain by shooting an old man such as he?"
5651What do you think of it now, Herr Ritter?
5651What if indeed I have been dreaming; what if this, after all, should be the real world, and the other a mere fantasy?"
5651What is Adelais Cameron to me, when all my world is here?"
5651What is the matter?"
5651What is this Inn, I wondered, all the rooms of which are haunted, and in which the Christ can not be born?
5651What more could she want?
5651What say you to taking me along with you?
5651What wonder that Philip had been deceived into believing her false?
5651What, have you lost him too, then, as well as Bambin?"
5651What, then, did the father do?
5651Where is he among us who could attain to such a state?
5651Where then is this guide?
5651Who are They?"
5651Who could have anticipated or suspected this cheerful welcome, these entertaining literati, these innocent- looking frescoes?
5651Who could have foreseen so deadly a horror in such a guise?
5651Who shall say?
5651Why did not the Gods decree my death before I brought thee into the world?"
5651Why doom us to perish daily by the poisonous breath of the dragon?"
5651Why must those always die who are needed most, while such as I live on from year to year?
5651Why should the Soul be respected where nothing else is spared?
5651Why should you have taken him out before the eyes of the cat?"
5651Why will you do these things?"
5651Will they let me in there?--will they suffer my soul among them?
5651Will you come back with me, for I think she has something particular to say to you?"
5651Will you have them?"
5651Will you marry Pauline this autumn and take her with you to the south?''
5651Will you not wait for it?"
5651Will you suffer the-- the fault of ten years ago to bear weight upon your sisterly kindness,--your human compassion and sympathy, now?"
5651Ye look tired like, this morning; didna get much rest p''raps?
5651You chose to be silent?"
5651You do n''t want to say goodbye?"
5651You have been to the town again?"
5651You remember, Lizzie, what a wonderfully bright and beautiful sunset it was this evening?
5651You will not refuse me the last request I shall make you, Phil?
5651You wish to speak to me?"
5651` And the child?''
5651` Do you believe I would have done what I did for mere coin?"
5651` What ails you, foolish old woman?
5651a message?"
5651and I do n''t think she would mind my asking her this, though we did part in anger; do you?
5651but ought I to take it, Herr?"
5651can he be-- do you think-- can he be an Angel in disguise?
5651cried he, his whole manner changing in a moment from easy indifference to earnest interest:"what, you will part with this after all?
5651he groaned in his unutterable despair;"is there no hope, no redemption, no retrieving of the past?
5651how am I to send the answer?
5651no?
5651said the gentleman, looking up from his book;"what is that?"
5651she cried; and her voice was half choked with contending anger and despair,"I am his wife; and what then is she?
5651she said,"what have you done?
5651she sent me a note?
5651was her retort, as she paused in her meal and stared at me;"do you want to buy the rest of it?"
5651what has happened?
5651where are you?"
5651you have been?
39212And are you glad to see me, Gertie?
39212And do you care for me still?
39212And if you touched and handled them?
39212And see you?
39212And the same silk?
39212And what can I do, May?
39212And what is your name?
39212And will it?
39212And your famous knots?
39212Anything wrong?
39212Are there any letters from China?
39212Are those your daughters, sir?
39212Are you Kate''s friend?
39212Are you any relation to Major M----?
39212Are you coming to see us to- morrow?
39212Are you my little Gertie, darling?
39212Are you_ quite sure_,I asked,"that it is the same paper in which you wrapt it?"
39212But how about the arterial silk?
39212But how can I marry again unless he dies?
39212But if you heard them speak?
39212But where are your sisters?
39212But where is''Yonnie''?
39212But why should it make her ill?
39212But why? 39212 But your crest and seal?"
39212But_ when_ do you see me?
39212But_ when_?
39212Ca n''t you tell us who you are?
39212Can not you see?
39212Can you tell me why that gentleman left so suddenly?
39212Did I weep?
39212Did n''t I say it was in the church at----?
39212Did you know the spirit?
39212Do n''t you remember I cut it off just before I left this world?
39212Do you expect to see any friends to- night?
39212Do you know who_ I_ am?
39212Do you mean to tell me you are frightened of your medium? 39212 Florence, my darling,"I said,"is this_ really_ you?"
39212Good gracious,they said,"do n''t you know that that hotel was built on the site of the old barracks?
39212Had she any peculiarity about her feet?
39212Has not the coffin left my house?
39212Has not the death you spoke of taken place_ now_?
39212Have you come for me, my friend?
39212Have you ever seen anybody whom you recognized?
39212Have you ever seen your grave?
39212Have you never lost a relation of her age?
39212How can I tell this is_ your_ hand?
39212How could she come to me then?
39212How did you meet him?
39212How do you account for it?
39212How long will it take you to do so?
39212How was it your body was never found?
39212Is it my husband''s?
39212Is it you, Emily?
39212Is there anyone here who recognizes the name of''Bluebell''?
39212Is_ this_ the death you prophesied?
39212It is, indeed,said the man;"and it is in the church at----?"
39212It seems too marvellous to be true; but how_ can_ I disbelieve it, when_ here she is_?
39212Jones,she falters,"are you happy?"
39212Katieenjoyed my surprise, and asked me,"Ai n''t I prettier than Florrie now?"
39212May I take you in my arms?
39212My darling child,I said, as I embraced her,"why did you ask for''Bluebell''?"
39212Nor your seal been tampered with?
39212Of what was my chasuble made?
39212Pourquoi, Valerie?
39212QUI BONO?
39212Sha n''t I come soon, darling?
39212Stop a minute,I said,"this person whom you have alluded to so often-- have I ever met him?"
39212Surely you are not suffering still?
39212Then by what means,I argued,"do you know that I am Florence Marryat?
39212Then will you open the packet?
39212To which medium shall I go?
39212Was there foul play?
39212What a mother?
39212What are_ graves_ to us? 39212 What did you do to me last night?"
39212What do you make of it?
39212What do you wish me to do for you?
39212What is the matter with me, Sir John?
39212What is the matter, dear?
39212What is the matter?
39212What is your own name?
39212What is your real name?
39212What necktie?
39212What shall I call you, then?
39212What was his name?
39212What was his object in doing so?
39212What where you doing there?
39212What''s a dog?
39212What''s the matter, Peter?
39212When did he murder you?
39212Where am I to send?
39212Where did you meet him?
39212Where is my chasuble?
39212Where is your dress, Katie?
39212Whereabouts?
39212Who are you?
39212Who are you?
39212Who has told you of it?
39212Who is he, Dewdrop?
39212Who is it for?
39212Who_ can_ it be?
39212Whom have you seen?
39212Whom will you bring?
39212Why do you wish to know?
39212Will you come to me, darling?
39212Will you explain your meaning to me?
39212Will you fetch some one for us, Charlie?
39212Yes, I do recognize you, my dear child,I replied;"but what makes you come to me?"
39212You do n''t want to come back then, Ted?
39212You know her name, do n''t you?
39212Your knots have not been untied?
39212_ Forgive!_I repeated,"What have I to forgive?"
39212_ Not alive!_she echoed;"did n''t God make it?"
39212_ You do n''t recognize him?_she repeated in an incredulous tone,"then you must be very dull.
39212( At this juncture I asked,"How can I prevent it?")
39212("Did the trouble I had before your birth affect your spirit, Florence?")
39212("Do you ever see your father?")
39212("Do you know your sisters, Eva and Ethel?")
39212("What can I do to bring you nearer to me?")
39212Abrow?"
39212And did it ever strike you that there is something else recorded in the Bible?
39212And if Mr. Haxby has played a trick on me, as you suppose, why did you not discover the slit when you examined the box, before opening?"
39212And what_ good_ does it do?
39212And which, amongst the philosophers I have alluded to, could suggest a simpler mode of communication?
39212Are you quite happy?"
39212At this remark I laughed; and Mr. Abrow said,"Is she come for you, madam?
39212But do we not often ask the same question with respect to those still existent here below?
39212But how did I know of the occurrence the_ night before_ it took place?
39212But shall I gain it?"
39212But what has Religion given us instead?
39212But why afraid of an impossibility?
39212Ca n''t you stop them?"
39212Did you ever pay Johnson the seventeen pounds twelve you received for my saddlery?"
39212Did you suppose I was going to let you waste all your power with them, when I knew I was going home with you and Mrs. Ross- Church?
39212Do n''t you wish you had my garden?
39212Do you answer to the description?"
39212Do you know who I am?"
39212Do you see that it is Florrie lying there?"
39212Do you suppose that we poor mortals have been thus abandoned?
39212Do you think I have never seen you since that time, nor heard anything about you?
39212Do you think it is possible he may not have sailed after all?"
39212Does the cap fit?"
39212Fitzgerald?"
39212For whom do you come?"
39212Have they been ordered back?
39212Have they perished?
39212Have you been playing any of your tricks upon me?"
39212Have you quite forgotten?"
39212He kept on reiterating,"Who brought me here?
39212He replied,"Forgotten little Flo?
39212He says,''Is Mrs. Ross- Church at home?''
39212He seemed quite delighted to be able to manifest so indisputably like himself, and remarked more than once,"I''m not much like a girl now, am I, Ma?"
39212Her incessant questions of"What''s a father?"
39212How was that?"
39212How_ dared_ you send for me?"
39212I am sure when she let it fall again there must have been thirty or forty holes, and"Katie"said,"Is n''t that a nice cullender?"
39212I asked her,"Are you cold?"
39212I asked her,"When will my husband die?"
39212I asked the influence,"Who are you?"
39212I asked,"Are you_ quite_ sure that the packet could not be undone without your detecting it?"
39212I asked,"By what name shall we pray for him?"
39212I asked,"Is it my own coffin?"
39212I asked,"Who are you?"
39212I asked,"and for whom do you come?"
39212I exclaimed,"have you come back to see me at last?"
39212I exclaimed,"is anything wrong with her?"
39212I exclaimed,"where is your beard?"
39212I had never set eyes on him till that moment; but I said at once to Mr. Grossmith,"Do you see that officer in the undress uniform?
39212I said,"What''s the good of my coming here?
39212I said,"_ Who is this?_"and she whispered,"_ Florence_,"and laid her head down on my shoulder, and kissed my neck.
39212I said,"after all these years?"
39212I said,"why did you come to me last night in a green riding habit?"
39212I said;"ca n''t you speak to me to- night?"
39212I suppose you are a Catholic?"
39212I whispered,"Who is this?"
39212If I had not been convinced before, how could I have helped being convinced then?
39212If her story was untrue,_ who_ had so minutely informed her of a circumstance which it was to the interest of all concerned to keep to themselves?
39212In"Young Mr. Ainslie''s Courtship"he has written a story which is charming, witty?
39212Is it to be wondered at?
39212Is that the case?"
39212Is that the certificate you want?"
39212Is this logical?
39212Is this_ your_ room?
39212Is_ this_ belief in the existence of a tender Father and a blessed home waiting to receive them on the other side?
39212Johnny Cope, is it you?"
39212Lean,"she said, hurriedly, noting my surprise,"do n''t you know me?
39212May I take it away with me?"
39212Mr. Stacke said to me,"Who is this?"
39212Mrs. Holmes said to me,"Can not you remember_ anyone_ of that age connected with you in the spirit world?
39212Necromancy is a terrible word, is it not?
39212No cousin, nor niece, nor sister, nor the child of a friend?"
39212Presently a soft voice said,"Aunt Flo, do n''t you know me?"
39212Presently he turned to me and said, rather sheepishly,"Do you believe in this sort of thing?"
39212Presently she asked me,"Who are you?"
39212Prince Albert whispered to me,"Have you got anything?"
39212Several times he exclaimed with knitted brows,"What is the matter with that door?
39212Shall I ever hear from you again?"
39212She and I were quite alone in the drawing- room, and after a little while I whispered softly,"Bessie, are you asleep?"
39212She said to me,"Is that_ you_, Miss Marryat?"
39212The only question appears to be,"_ What_ is it, and_ whence_ does the power proceed?"
39212The priest started, but continued--"Who put it there?"
39212Then Mr. Eglinton said to Mr. Lee,"Have you any friend in the spirit- world from whom you would like to hear?
39212They were negroes without doubt; but how about the negro bouquet?
39212Towns prognosticated on that occasion) Page 201,"conducter"changed to"conductor"("Did you know the spirit?"
39212What are you doing?"
39212What becomes, in the face of this story, of the impassable gulf between the earthly and spiritual spheres?
39212What good do they do?
39212What good is it to have one''s faith in Immortality and another life confirmed in an age of freethought, scepticism and utter callousness?
39212What has become of them?
39212What is more wonderful than the hatching of an egg?
39212What is there to prevent your senses misleading you at the present moment?"
39212What were they born for?
39212When it came to my turn to question him, I said,"Do you see where I shall be to- morrow morning?"
39212When we asked him what he was doing, he turned to us and said,"Are you ladies Spiritualists?"
39212Wherein, then, lies the terror of the idea that these liberated spirits will have the privilege of roaming the universe as they will?
39212Who brought me here?"
39212Who can account for such things?
39212Who can say where it dwells, or that it is not permitted to return to this world, perhaps to live in it altogether?
39212Who does not remember the picture of the afflicted widow, for whom the medium has just called up the departed Jones?
39212Who has fixed the abode of the spirit after death?
39212Why ca n''t I speak at other places?
39212Why do you never write to me?"
39212Why has n''t Johnson received that money?"
39212Why should I be disbelieved?
39212Why should I be so?
39212Why should I?
39212Why should I?
39212Why should he expect to be more kindly welcomed by a spiritual one?
39212Why should it be?
39212Why should what was_ then_ not be_ now_, and what more harm is there to apply for their aid now than a few thousand years ago?
39212Why should you deceive him by saying so?
39212Why should you suppose that they were permitted on the earth then and not permitted now?
39212Why should you trust your senses in one case more than in the other?
39212Why were they ever permitted to come?
39212Why?
39212Will he die?"
39212Will you be my wife?''
39212Will you forgive too?"
39212Will you not come to me?"
39212Women would be told they should look after their own interests in the one case-- so why not in the other?
39212You are not afraid of me, are you?"
39212You''ll come here again, wo n''t you?"
39212_ What is it?_"There, my friends, I confess you stagger me!
39212_ What_ was it that had made this old lady foresee what no one else had seen?
39212_ whom_ have you there?
39212and I replied,"Yes; did n''t you send for me?"
39212and she said,"Would n''t you be cold if you had nothing but this white thing on?"
39212and the answer came back,"Do n''t you know me?
39212do n''t you know me?"
39212does it seem strange to you to hear your''baby''say things as if she knew them?
39212is it really you?
39212is n''t it lovely?
39212is this really you?"
39212mamma, why did you go away?--why did you go away?"
39212may I try if your hair is a wig?"
39212she exclaimed,"I said I would come with you and look after you-- didn''t I?"
39212to where?--to heaven?
39212what did Captain Gordon die of?"
39212what did you do that for?
39212what do you see?"
44397''Are you quite sure?'' 44397 ''Been to Helvore?''
44397''But how about the speed with which the thing darted at us,''Parminter said,''and the feeling we all had that it possessed innumerable legs? 44397 ''But why did the monk crawl and make such a queer rattling noise?''
44397''How are you, old chap?'' 44397 ''How dare you?''
44397''Possibly,''Parminter said,''but how about the gas? 44397 ''Sounded like sighing, groaning, and so on?''
44397''Then why the ghost?'' 44397 ''Then you feel certain the hauntings have now ceased?''
44397''They have n''t seen anything?'' 44397 ''Well, how do you account for it?''
44397''Where?'' 44397 ''Who are you?''
44397''Who is it this time?'' 44397 ''Who is it?''
44397''Will you come with me?'' 44397 ''You know the wood?''
44397A rum,John said at length,"or a gin?
44397Am I?
44397And big rents?
44397And in each case death had taken place in bed?
44397And in the event of your death,I remarked,"to whom do the title and estates revert?"
44397And none of these symptoms were noticeable in the deceased?
44397And the children?
44397And what are your plans with regard to the Caspar Beeches?
44397And you''ve forgiven me, John?
44397And you''ve forgiven me? 44397 Anything the matter?"
44397Are the Parrys of the ordinary servant class?
44397But why should you haunt this place at all?
44397But why this mystery? 44397 Ca n''t you appear to us with your head on,"Brown asked,"just as you were in your lifetime?"
44397Can I be of any service to you?
44397Can I ever forget it? 44397 Could the poison have been self- inflicted?
44397Did you have the same doctor to all three of your relatives after their deaths had been discovered?
44397Do I recollect it?
44397Do you like them?
44397Do you mean to tell me,Casson said"that neither of you saw a man in a blazer pass here just now?"
44397Do you think of residing there?
44397God''s truth, man, what do you mean by such a statement?
44397Had he any children?
44397Has all the furniture been taken away?
44397Has the ghost been too much for you?
44397Have the Parrys been with you long?
44397Have you any idea what killed your late master and mistress?
44397Have you come to consult me professionally?
44397Have you no theory?
44397Have you seen him?
44397He ai n''t done nothing to you, has he?
44397How did you come to suspect the clock, Vane?
44397I did not answer her at once, but let her ramble on, till she suddenly turned to me and said,''Do you remember the last time I was here? 44397 Know of him?"
44397May I speak to you in private, somewhere where there is no chance of our being overheard?
44397Mercy on us, you do n''t intend going there?
44397Mr. Wildbridge,he began, leaning forward and eyeing me intently,"do you believe in family curses?"
44397Mr. Wotherall, was n''t it?
44397New houses, are n''t they?
44397No peculiarity in common?
44397Now do you see it?
44397Seen her? 44397 Seen who?"
44397Sir Eldred?
44397The son of Sir Thomas Mansfield, the Bornean explorer?
44397The wind?
44397Then you are the present baronet?
44397Then you''re a rich man, John?
44397Those candles,he said,"why do n''t they burn properly?
44397Tired of life?
44397Was there nothing else in the three cases that struck you as unusual?
44397Well?
44397What age is he?
44397What do you mean?
44397What do you want to interfere with Ephraim for?
44397What do you want us to do?
44397What is it?
44397What is it?
44397What is it?
44397What is your opinion? 44397 What reason is there for your being earth- bound?"
44397What was that?
44397What''s become of him?
44397What''s his name?
44397What''s the matter? 44397 What, down there?"
44397When were the deaths first discovered?
44397Where is Rosalie?
44397Which would render them more susceptible to the influence of poison?
44397Who are you?
44397Who are you?
44397Who has the keys of the house?
44397Who''s there?
44397Who''s there?
44397Who''s there?
44397Whose funeral was it?
44397Why are you standing?
44397Why do you live alone? 44397 Why have you brought me here?"
44397Why is the house in darkness?
44397Why, what are you a- talking about?
44397Why, whatever other kind of spirits are there? 44397 Why?"
44397Would you like to go home?
44397You are quite sure you have no near relatives?
44397You are the only one left in your family?
44397You do n''t know where he went, I suppose?
44397You mean materialised thought forms?
44397You think, of course, that you may share the fate of your mother, father, and brother?
44397''Do you want a job?''
44397''How dare you annoy me like this?
44397''Was that all?''
44397''What can have happened to him?''
44397''What do you think it was?''
44397''Who are you?
44397''Who is the poor wretch?''
44397''You are not frightened,''I said;''you-- a member of the New Supernatural Investigation Society?''
44397''You think you will see the murder, do you?
44397-- Regency Square and fetch a lady and gentleman?
44397--, ai n''t it?"
44397And this house has none, has it?
44397And yet, if that were so, why was I certain that they were not the footsteps of any trespasser from outside?
44397And yet, what else could have produced that look of horror in the faces?
44397And, after all, what is of more consequence than pure air which means health?
44397Another pause, and then John said suddenly,"More brandy, Wilfred?"
44397Any more questions?"
44397Are n''t you coming?"
44397Are people suffering with such a disease prone to suicide?"
44397Are you sure?
44397Are you tired of life, Wilfred?"
44397Besides, why should a theatre be haunted?
44397Bowles?"
44397Brown ejaculated,"where was it?"
44397But how did you know?"
44397But what makes it blow about so?
44397But why do you ask?"
44397But why do you ask?"
44397But why, I ask, do we not hear creaks in the daytime, when the traffic is more constant and changes in the temperature quite as marked?
44397CHAPTER XIII THE PINES"Who is the most interesting person in this institution?"
44397Comes to you regularly?
44397Could it be the storm, or was it-- was it those trees?
44397Dare you go on?"
44397Did anyone recommend you?"
44397Did he mean the wind?
44397Did n''t you feel how intensely antagonistic it was to us?''
44397Did you want to see him?"
44397Do n''t you know of any pretty cottage or picturesque old farm, near here, that I could stay at?''
44397Do you hear that?"
44397Do you hear?''
44397Do you recollect the occasion?"
44397Do you remember what you said?
44397Do you remember your pet aversion in the way of ghosts?''
44397Do you see those shadows on the water?
44397Do you still let rooms?"
44397Do you think I should ask you round to my house, to drink the best vintage London can offer you, if I had n''t?
44397Do you think he''s worth it?''
44397Does the general public know everything?
44397Ever been there?''
44397Got over that little love affair, eh?
44397Griffiths?"
44397Have you never seen an almanac before?"
44397He did n''t like my laugh, and he persisted:''Was that all you heard?''
44397He did n''t owe you anything, did he?"
44397His eyes had tricked him in the kitchen; might they not trick him again out here, and in a rather more alarming manner?
44397How can you see her, and why should she come to you?"
44397How could a stone in a picture-- a thing of mere paint and canvas-- suddenly start rocking?
44397How long had it been left, and where was its owner?
44397I shouted out,"Can you tell me the way to the Gyp Mill?"
44397I suppose, by the way, there is no doubt that this George Mansfield is my cousin?"
44397I wonder if a murder did actually take place in that house?
44397I wonder why he''s come back?
44397If it wo n''t be tiring you too much, will you come and sit with me?"
44397Is n''t it often used?"
44397Is not the theatre, to it, simply the stage, and is it not profoundly ignorant of all that lies beyond the stage-- away back, behind the hidden wings?
44397Is that you?
44397Is there no way of seeing you-- just for a second?"
44397It was rather lucky for me that I did n''t go there after all, was n''t it?
44397May I take it home with me for a few nights?"
44397Mrs. Griffiths demanded, abruptly breaking off from her pastry- making"A souvenir of your friend?
44397Now, tell me-- of whom does your household at the Caspar Beeches consist?"
44397Or both?"
44397Or has my eyesight suddenly gone wrong?"
44397Rats?"
44397Rum or brandy?"
44397Shall I marry him or not?
44397Should I go?
44397Sir George cried angrily,"what the deuce do you mean?
44397Supposing you engage me as your secretary?"
44397That does n''t look much like a disabled monk, does it?''
44397There was still time for flight, but whither could I go?
44397Was n''t it funny?''
44397Was the terrible Bornean phantasm getting ready to manifest itself?
44397Was there any family or hereditary disease?"
44397Was there anything specially remarkable in the facial contractions or colour of the skin?"
44397Was this the prelude to it?
44397Water?"
44397Were the victims in a normal state of health?
44397What business had he there?
44397What chance had I when you pointed to your bank- book and said,''If I die I can settle all that on her''?
44397What could a black man and a young girl be doing prowling about the grounds of the Caspar Beeches at that hour of night?
44397What did the wind sound like?''
44397What do you think, Mrs. de Roscovi?"
44397What else could have killed them?
44397What had become of him, he wondered?
44397What had he been so carefully plotting with Craddock?
44397What had he discovered?
44397What in Heaven''s name can I do?"
44397What in Heaven''s name had become of the thing?
44397What is that?''
44397What is your opinion, Wilfred?"
44397What should I see?
44397What was it that made them different from other footsteps?
44397What were we talking about?
44397What''s that?
44397What''s that?"
44397What''s the good of love without prospects?"
44397When would the horror drop from them?
44397Whence would come the danger my instinct told me threatened him?
44397Where could it be?
44397Where had it got to?
44397Where is he, I say?"
44397Who do you mean?"
44397Who sent for you?"
44397Who were they?
44397Why are you here?''
44397Why ask?''
44397Why could n''t he see it?
44397Why did he stand in the moonlight?
44397Why do n''t you use dough?"
44397Why was it so deserted?
44397Why were n''t there people about-- living beings among those dark swaying trees and bushes like there were in the London parks?
44397Why, I asked myself, should these footsteps alarm me?
44397Why?
44397Why?"
44397Wildbridge?"
44397Will you go back with me to- night?
44397Will you remain here?"
44397Will you tell us what to do?"
44397Wotherall?"
44397Wotherall?"
44397Would you like to hear it?"
44397Would you like to see them?"
44397Yet whence came the gas and how was it administered?
44397You can invoke it, ca n''t you, Madame Valenspin?"
44397You do like your bit of fun, do n''t yer?"
44397You do n''t mind my playing the part of instructor?"
44397You say it is new?"
44397Your eyes are bad?''
44397he demanded,"and what right have you to fish here?"
44397what does it know of the thoughts of all that host of bygones-- of their terrible anxieties, their loves, their passions?
39279And how did you write your name on this piece of paper?
39279And you?
39279Are you happy?
39279Art thou there, spirit?
39279Bound?
39279But we shall perhaps have raps, at any rate?
39279But where is he?
39279Can we not then keep the golden mean between negation, which denies all, and credulity, which accepts all? 39279 Can you get a reply to a question I am going to ask you?"
39279Can you see to read this newspaper?
39279Did you hear?
39279Does it wish to communicate?
39279Faith? 39279 For what purpose?"
39279From what point did your balloon start?
39279Have you something to say to us?
39279How many numbers are there on the page that I have been looking at?
39279How shall we find it?
39279How should I dare,said she,"to enter your chamber during the night?"
39279I? 39279 If there is a hand there,"says M. Flammarion,"could it perhaps grasp an object?"
39279If you could take me in the evening--"But, madame, it is impossible--"Why? 39279 In a spontaneous somnambulistic state?"
39279In her normal state?
39279In what book?
39279In what country?
39279In what epoch did you live?
39279In what month did the event take place?
39279In what year did you die?
39279Is he willing to give his name?
39279Is it really you, Krishna?
39279Is there a single known example of movement produced without a force acting from the outside? 39279 Is there a spirit there?"
39279Is there a spirit there?
39279Of what color?
39279Oh,cries the king, in great surprise,"why do you alone confront me without bending the knee?"
39279On what shelf?
39279Sire,said the unknown,"must I be frank?
39279Stitched?
39279The aeronaut?
39279Then it is a materialization?
39279Then the volume is bound in boards?
39279Was it the chambermaid?
39279Was it the medium herself?
39279Was she in the trance state?
39279What do you mean by that?
39279What month?
39279What were you hunting for in our sleeping- room?
39279Where did you fall?
39279Where did you know me?
39279Where?
39279Who are you?
39279Why do you take my hand?
39279Will you please tell me why?
39279[ 46]Oh, what is he going to say to us?"
39279_ Astronomia._"Of what date?
39279''Can you tell me,''I asked him,''why the satellites of Uranus make their revolution from east to west and not from west to east?''
39279--"Did you see?"
39279--"To never make use of any remedies except those of the learned faculty of medicine, even should the patient burst and die of his disease?"
39279A moment after, returning in thought to our last séance, she says,"Were you completely satisfied?"
39279And how about last wills and testaments stolen away, and the last will of the dead ignored and their intentions purposely misinterpreted?
39279And how?
39279And if it did, might it not amuse itself thus?
39279And in a hundred thousand years?
39279And might this mirror also not receive and reproduce impressions, or influence, from a soul at a distance?
39279And those inverted dictations?
39279And was not the little centre- table, in its climbings acting under the physical and pyschical influences of the medium?
39279And( to take a simple instance), without departing from our common and normal condition of life, how is it that we raise our arm?
39279And, in that case, shall I get what I have been promised?"
39279And, in truth, why should not his mind as well as his fluidic force be haled out of his body and be exhausted in external work?
39279And, likewise, in the experience which Wallace has just cited, were not the dictated names latent in the brain of the questioner?
39279And, when the sombre curtains of night are let fall from the sky, can you tell whether you will see the dawn of another morn?"
39279Another person asked,"What is faith?"
39279Are they actual apparitions of the dead?
39279As to beings different from ourselves,--what may their nature be?
39279At the foot of the staircase she says,"What did M. Richet say to you?
39279At this moment the nurse entered and innocently asked,"Did you ring, sir?"
39279But do we understand any better how a spirit can have hands?
39279But how can she do this when she is all the while seated tranquilly in her chair?
39279But how could a being without acoustic nerve and without a tympanum hear?
39279But how could the will, conscious or unconscious, lift a piece of furniture of that weight?
39279But how?
39279But if the mind of the medium may liberate itself and appear in an extra- normal state, why might it not be this mind which acts?
39279But is it sufficient to explain all the observed phenomena?
39279But the others, the unconscious souls, are they more advanced the day after death than the day before?
39279But what is it that takes place within them?
39279But what is matter?
39279But what is the essential nature of gravitation?
39279But why so many oddities and incoherences?
39279But why so many puzzling incoherences and solecisms?
39279But why?
39279But, as it stands, it is necessary to stretch it considerably to make it explain the rappings( for who raps?
39279Can the observations be confirmed and justified by assuming the mind of the living merely as the active agents?
39279Can we explain the observed phenomena, or at least any portion of it?
39279Can we not possess at once the humility which becomes the weak and the dignity which becomes the strong?
39279Collective hallucination?
39279Could not Eusapia''s departure be put off?
39279Could you give us a proof of identity to show us that you are really the daughter of Victor Hugo, the wife of Charles Vacquerie?
39279D----?"
39279Did the beard really exist, or was it only a case of tactual and visual sensations?
39279Did this boy( he says)_ will_ what took place, as the theory of M. de Gasparin would require us to admit?
39279Do latent faculties of the human organism suffice to explain these intentional actions?
39279Do they belong to beings like ourselves?
39279Do we not find in the different ancient literatures, demons, angels, gnomes, goblins, sprites, spectres, elementals, etc?
39279Do we not have several distinct personalities in our dreams?
39279Do you not agree that the same executive power can give to the fluid the directions it gives to the muscles?
39279Do you remember the place where you died?"
39279Do you remember the year of your death?"
39279Does a poet always write verses of equal worth?
39279Does the will act directly upon the nerves?
39279Does this characteristic defect prove that hysteria does not exist?
39279Does this fact prove that the soul of the father of the experimenter actually performed the act with his hand?
39279Does this preparation consist in a modification that takes place in the operator, or in the inert body on which he acts, or in both?
39279Does this remarkable fact prove with certainty the action of a spirit other than that of the medium?
39279E----?"
39279Eusapia cries,"What is this that is passing over me?"
39279For in what does the attraction of the earth consist?
39279Has my memory played me false?"
39279Has space only three dimensions?
39279Have the writing mediums given any more convincing proofs of it than these?
39279Have you nothing more refined than this to say to us?"
39279How can this double, this fluidic body have the consistency of flesh and of muscles?
39279How can this thing be?
39279How can we help admitting, after the reading of this new official report, the following things?
39279How could it make a good man out of a bad one?
39279How could it make a shining light out of an intellectual nobody?
39279How does it act?
39279How explain this tangle of contradictions?
39279How is it that a particle of iron grips so firmly to the loadstone when brought near it?
39279How is it that a stick of sealing- wax or a lamp- chimney, when rubbed, attracts bits of paper or elder pith?
39279How is it that the thunderbolt strips the clothes from a man or a woman with its characteristic nonchalance?
39279How many legs and arms has she?
39279How many times do apparitions, or manifestations occur?
39279How old were you when you died?"
39279How shall we name the mystery?
39279How then can it enter into relation with our senses?
39279How?
39279I repeat it again, the muscles have not changed; then why this sudden incapacity?
39279I said aloud:"Am I to show how the alarm is operated?"
39279I said to the table, which had been put in movement by the little manoeuvre ordinarily used,"Does a spirit desire to communicate?"
39279I then ask the following questions:"Is it you, John, who came into our sleeping chamber last night?"
39279I therefore said to this intelligence,"Can you see the contents of this room?"
39279If they could dynamically appear, would they not act somewhat in this way?
39279If this were so, why did not muscular action lift the free leg as well as those fastened tight to the table?
39279If we admit the survival of individual souls, what becomes of these souls?
39279In fine what are we all seeking?
39279In five hundred years, in a thousand years, in two thousand years, what will these sciences of ours be?
39279In making my request, had I overstepped the limits of its powers?
39279In other words, will the_ animistic_ hypothesis suffice to solve the problem and to do away with the_ Spiritualistic_ hypothesis?
39279Is a man of genius always a man of genius?
39279Is it a doubling of her personality?
39279Is it a melange or combination of fluids?
39279Is it an auto- suggestion of hers or of the dynamic ensemble of the experimenters that creates a special force?
39279Is it an unheard- of thing that we transmit movement to matter that is outside of ourselves?
39279Is it another kind of invisible beings?
39279Is it not due to an intuitive perception of the presence of these invisible personages, or forces, against which they are helpless?
39279Is it not the same, moreover, in assemblies, large or small, in conferences, in salons, etc.?
39279Is it sufficient to entirely satisfy us?
39279Is it the condensation of a psychic_ milieu_ in the midst of which we live?
39279Is it the intelligence of the medium, of any of the other persons in the room, or is it an exterior intelligence?
39279Is it the medium who herself acts, in an unconscious manner, by means of an invisible force emanating from her?
39279Is it within us or outside of us?
39279Is it worth while at the present time to combat such a theory?
39279Is the composer of music master of his inspiration?
39279Is there not enough of the unknown in these mysterious phenomena?
39279Is this a mental transmission?
39279Is this thought simply that of the medium, of the chief experimenter, or the resultant of the thoughts of all the sitters united?
39279It is a hand, it is fingers, which have just pressed upon me so; but whose?
39279Let us call it, if you please,"telekinetsis"; but does that get us any farther along?
39279M----?"
39279May I hope that the reader will have got a clear idea in his mind of the experiments and observations set forth in the previous pages of this work?
39279May it not be possible that, in exerting ourselves, we give rise to a detachment of forces which acts exteriorly to our body?
39279Might it not be a_ double_ of the medium, a product of her psychic force?
39279Might it not be that the influence of the experimenters seated around the table puts in special movement the molecules of the wood?
39279Might not a molecular movement counterbalance the effect of gravity?
39279Movement of what?
39279Movements without contact._--Question:"Would the table now be moved without contact?"
39279Must he then admit an unknown disturbing force?
39279Must one have faith?
39279Nevertheless--?
39279Now are these forces spirits?
39279Now in what way is it possible for the contact of a light dress- stuff with the lower extremity of the foot of a table to assist in the levitation?
39279Of course, I allowed my arm to remain passive, and here is what I read:"You wish to know what our occupations are?
39279Or does there exist, around and about us, an intelligent medium or atmosphere, a kind of spiritual cosmos?
39279Or, finally, is it possible that the spirits of the dead may survive, and wander to and fro, and hold communication with us?
39279Perhaps our conscious or sub- conscious thoughts spoke in them?
39279Persons condemned to death, in consequence of judicial errors, and executed, should they not return to protest their innocence?
39279Question--"Can you see the book which I have just been looking at?"
39279S----?"
39279Some one asked,"Why have you dictated thus?"
39279Souls of the dead?
39279Still, after all, who can trace the limits of science?
39279Still, does that constitute proof of an independent spirit?
39279That is the fact: what is the best hypothesis to explain it?
39279The cause remaining identically the same, whence comes it that the effect varies to such a degree?
39279The question arises, Whence come these noises?
39279The question at present resolves itself into this: Does this dynamism belong wholly to the experimenters?
39279The question is, Do these facts exist, and do they enter into the category of known physical forces?
39279The table dictated as follows:[12]"When the shining sun scatters the stars, know ye, O mortal men, whether ye will see the evening of that day?
39279The victims of''93, should they not have returned to disturb the sleep of the conquerors?
39279Then why might not other radiations emanate from our hands and from our whole being?
39279This hand opens and closes three times, sufficiently long to permit me to say:"Whose hand is this?--yours, Monsieur Mangin?"
39279This last request of hers was as follows:"What has become of the soul of my father?"
39279W----?"
39279Was I going to be the cause of all the well- proved phenomena of which we have had testimony losing the half of their value?
39279Was it not an expression of the collective thought of the company?
39279Was it not imperative to prove to our opponents that they have not even the pretext of"a scientific impossibility"?
39279Was this apparition what it claimed to be?
39279We think: what is thought?
39279We walk: what is that organic act?
39279Were we going to have the inevitable indisposition of the rare tenor, on the day when he was to be heard on the stage?
39279What do you think of that?
39279What has become of it?
39279What have we seen?
39279What is it in the bullet that kills?
39279What is the absolute action of the soul or mind?
39279What is the brain?
39279What is the human body?
39279What is the intelligent force that directs this fluidic body and makes it act in such or such a way?
39279What is the mediator between mind and muscle?
39279What is this being?
39279What is this environment?
39279What is this intelligence?
39279What light will the study of these still unexplained forces shed upon the origin of the soul and upon the conditions of its survival?
39279What shall be done to remove their noble and pharisaical indolence?
39279What sustains the earth in space?
39279What was science a hundred years ago, two hundred years, three hundred?
39279What were you speaking of?"
39279What, then, sustains the knife, annihilates its weight?
39279When illusions, auto- suggestions, hallucinations, are eliminated, what remains?
39279Where are they?
39279Where did the puff of wind come from?
39279Whether I have reached absolute conviction as to the existence of one or of several_ spirits_?
39279Who is there so bold as to predict whither the scientific study of the new psychology will lead, and what the results will be?
39279Who knows whether my friends and I, who laugh at Spiritualism, are not in error, just as hypnotized persons are?
39279Who makes them?
39279Who of us is always master of his impressions and of his faculties?
39279Who or what adjusted this elastic spring?
39279Who or what wound up this watch once for all?
39279Who will say then, that there are not around us invisible beings?
39279Why amplify?
39279Why choose a table?
39279Why could it not sound the alarm of this watch?
39279Why do not children whose death is lamented by their parents ever come to console them?
39279Why do our dearest attachments seem to disappear forever?
39279Why do we wish to explain these phenomena at all hazards?
39279Why does not our involuntary impulse always make the table turn?
39279Why does the medium so often try to release her hand?
39279Why seek to press on so eagerly and prematurely into regions to which our poor powers can not yet attain?
39279Why should death bestow upon them any perfection?
39279Why should it make a genius out of an imbecile?
39279Why should it turn an ignoramus into a wise man?
39279Why should not our"fraud"always procure such a triumph?
39279Why should the souls of the dead amuse themselves in this way?
39279Why this dark cabinet?
39279Why, as a general thing, do we only succeed in effecting that which is mechanically impossible?
39279Will you allow one of us to put a hand_ upon_ yours, without touching the table?"
39279Would it not be reasonable to suppose that persons put to death in such a way that violence was not suspected would return to accuse the assassins?
39279Would there be anything impossible in this?
39279X., the medium?
39279Yes, in a hundred thousand years, what will human intelligence be?
39279Z?
39279[ 29] To what cause may we attribute the levitation of the table?
39279[ 39] Why was an astronomer chosen to give an account of the experiments at Genoa?
39279[ 43] Who of us can at will put himself into such and such a physical condition and such and such a moral state?
39279[ 4] Now how are these levitations and movements produced?
39279[ 89] What is it that is active in us in telepathic phenomena?
39279[ 94] But why are there manifestations the result of the grouping of five or six persons around the table?
39279_ Reflection, reflex action?_ That is perhaps the true expression.
39279and those in which we are obliged to skip every other letter?
39279is not_ doubt_ the most_ certain_ result of mediumistic experiments?)
39279or the ability to know, two days in advance, of the death of a person about whom one was not thinking at all?
39279why are you not present with us?

40686Hast thou ever Lightened the sorrows of the heavy laden?
40686Hast thou ever considered his nature?

40686I asked,''Who, then, made the world?''
40686I near him came, and spoke--''Art thou,''I said,''indeed the Evil One?
40686I reverence thee?
40686I said that I was very sorry to hear it;''but what had her death to do with the spears being stuck around so?''
40686I then said,''Jemmy, what is the meaning of your spears being stuck in a circle round you?''

40686She refused, and said,''In the name of God, what art thou?''
40686Such is the seeming situation, but is it the reality?

40686Thus we read:--''Abigail Williams, did you see a company at Mr. Parris''s house eat and drink?
40686To her child''s inquiry,''What sort of beetle is this I found wriggling in the sand?''
40686To her he said,''Who art thou, so fair beyond all whom I have seen in the land of the living?''
40686To what will they aspire, those students moving so light- hearted amid the dead dragons and satans of an extinct world?
40686Was anything seen?
40686Was it an old sin?''
40686Was it first suggested by its horrible human- like sleep- murdering caterwaulings at night?
40686Was it for me, Satan, to whom thou hast chosen to become a mentor, to point them out to thee?
40686Was it not Almighty Time, and ever- during Fate-- My lords and thine-- that shaped and fashioned me Into the MAN I am?
40686What advocate can he command?
40686What can a man do but pray and acknowledge his sinfulness?
40686What chief of mortals is there who has never told a lie-- who has never swerved from the course of justice?''
40686What did these good fairies do?
40686What explanation can be given of the evil repute of our household friend the Cat?
40686What has become of that one?
40686What if he had seen death as an eternal sleep?
40686What is created still must fall, And fairest still we frailest call; Will not Christ''s blood avail for all?
40686What is the difference between St. Wolfram''s God and King Radbot''s Devil?
40686What is the meaning of the curse on the Serpent that it should for ever crawl thereafter?
40686What is the remedy?
40686What is, your theory?
40686What matters it when death comes?
40686What news?
40686What sort of man was he?
40686What the hand dared seize the fire?
40686What then controls human passion and selfishness?
40686What was it?
40686What was seen on this strongly- authenticated occasion?
40686What will she say if she sees him promoted a step higher,--nay, perhaps, meets him in heaven?''
40686What would she have you do with it?
40686When the stars threw down their spears And water heaven with their tears, Did he smile his work to see?
40686When will they see in any stone mirror the real shape of a double- tongued Culture-- one fork intoning litanies, another whispering contempt of them?
40686Where is Michael, the special advocate of Israel?
40686Where, O Rudra, is that gracious hand of thine, which is healing and comforting?
40686Where?
40686Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, And thy garments like him that treadeth the wine- vat?
40686Wherefore, like a coward, dost thou for ever pip and whimper, and go cowering and trembling?
40686Wherefore?
40686Who art thou?
40686Who baptized them?
40686Who built it?
40686Who can carve there the wrongs that await their powers of redress?
40686Who can face them?
40686Who can set before them, with all its baseness, the true emblem of pious fraud?
40686Who gave me succour Against the Titans in their tyrannous might?
40686Who go to Paradise?
40686Who is this that cometh from Edom, In dyed garments from Bozrah?
40686Who rescued me from death-- from slavery?
40686Who, then, is the guide of Necessity?
40686Whose mind is not led astray by the thickly clustering moonbeams?''
40686Why administer the rod which enlightens as to the anger but not its cause, or as to the way of amend?)
40686Why are you afflicted?
40686Why can not this one and all others be cast out?
40686Why did they starve and scourge their bodies, and roll them in thorns?
40686Why did we pass by the mansions of the good and the just?
40686Why not punish the Devil instead of threatening poor wretches whom he deceives?''
40686Why shall I for his favour serve, Bend to him in such vassalage?
40686Why should mankind make thee a jest, When thou canst show a face like this?
40686Why should that particular Tree-- of a species common in the district and not usually very large-- have grown so huge?
40686Why shouldst thou regard the seed of Abraham before us?''
40686Why slay the slain?
40686Why then need we apologise for the Fijians?
40686Why twelve?
40686Why was the Living banished thither, companionless, conscious?
40686Why was the Serpent slipped into the Ark or coffer and hid behind veils?
40686Why was the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil forbidden?
40686Why, if there is no Devil; nay, unless the Devil is your God?''
40686Why, when its fruit was tasted, should the Tree of Life have been for the first time forbidden and jealously guarded?
40686Why?
40686Will you not deliver the Bráhman?
40686[ 45] Is this a survival?
40686[ 88] But what shall be said of the Goat?
40686burning bright In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye Framed thy fearful symmetry?

40686gargouille, dragon), anything but carved imprecations?
40686he cried,''is it thus you repay my benefits?
40686intrude ye thus into my presence?
40686knowest thou that none of these save that last holy one-- whom methinks thou namest too lightly among men-- were baptized?
40686no dire punishments?
40686or has it simply suffered from a theological curse on the cats said to draw the chariots of the goddesses of Beauty?
40686or was it merely demonised because of its uncanny and shaggy appearance?
40686they asked,''Have you ever seen him?''
40686what has led thee to depart from the Prince of thy gods?
40686what is the sum- total of the worst that lies before thee?
40686what, are you going to slaughter this poor woman?
40686whence comest, and with what message freighted?
40686why not bulls?
40686wilt thou go with me?
29412And Bernier, our fellow- citizen, what is become of him?
29412And have you seen this master?
29412And what did she do to give you this power?
29412And what do you come here for?
29412And whence comes it that you know me?
29412Do you know that now you see nothing with the eyes of your body?
29412In a dream?
29412Now, how can he approve a dissertation false in itself and contrary to himself? 29412 Of what may we not believe the imagination capable, after so strong a proof of its power?
29412Well, then, with what eyes do you behold me?
29412When is it,he says afterwards,"that the oracles have ceased to reply throughout all Greece, but since the advent of the Saviour on earth?
29412Who art thou? 29412 [ 161] And in Ecclesiasticus,"Who will pity the enchanter that has been bitten by the serpent?
29412''I knew it well,''said she;''did I not behold it the day before yesterday?''"
29412( or"What can I do for you?")
29412A little while after, he adds,"But what shall we say of that magic they held in such admiration?
29412ARE THE VAMPIRES OR REVENANS REALLY DEAD?
29412After mass, St. Augustin, preceded by the cross, went to ask this dead man why he went out?
29412After such avowals, what can we think of the doctrine of this chief of the innovators?
29412After this, must we not own that the Greeks of to- day are not great Greeks, and that there is only ignorance and superstition among them?
29412Again, what shall we say of those tacit compacts so often mentioned by the author, and which he supposes to be real?
29412And again, how could he satisfy it with a demon, who appeared to him in the form of a girl he loved?
29412And had not their accomplices also, whose names must have been declared, as much to fear?
29412And how can we reconcile this concurrence with the wisdom, independence, and truth of God?
29412And if Samuel appeared to Saul, how could it take place if Samuel had no members?
29412And if he had received it, was he not at the same time reconciled to the church?
29412And if he was there bodily, how could he render himself invisible?
29412And if his excommunication was only regular and minor, would he deserve after his martyrdom to be excluded from the presence of the holy mysteries?
29412And if these bodies are merely phantomic, how can they suck the blood of living people?
29412And in his treatise on the soul, he exclaims,"What shall we say of magic?
29412And what glory to God, what advantage to men, could accrue from these apparitions?
29412And why do we not make any use of so wonderful an art in armies?
29412And would Jacob have asked him for his blessing had he deemed him a bad angel?
29412Another time he saw the same young man, who said to him,"Do you know me?"
29412Are the Vampires or Revenans really Dead?
29412Are there not still to be found people who are so simple, or who have so little religion, as to buy these trifles very dear?
29412Are these equivocal marks of the reality of obsessions?
29412Are they not interred?
29412As they were conversing in her presence of the singularity of the adventure which here happened at St. Maur,''Why are you so much astonished?''
29412At last they asked what was the name of him who should succeed to the Emperor Valens?
29412Besides that, of how many crimes were they not guilty in the use of their spells?
29412But are they not rather magicians, who render themselves invisible, and divert themselves in disquieting the living?
29412But can anything more strange be thought of than what is said of tacit compacts?
29412But how can they come out of their graves without opening the earth, and how re- enter them again without its appearing?
29412But if the dead know not what is passing in this world, how can they be troubled about their bodies being interred or not?
29412But what can you obtain in favor of heresy from sensible and upright people, to whom God has thus manifested the power of his church?
29412But what could it avail the demon to give the treasure to these gentlemen, who did not ask him for it, and scarcely troubled themselves about him?
29412But what is the use of so many arguments?
29412But why amuse ourselves with fruitless researches?
29412By what authority did the demon take away this boy''s life, and then restore it to him?
29412CAN A MAN WHO IS REALLY DEAD APPEAR IN HIS OWN BODY?
29412CAN THESE INSTANCES BE APPLIED TO THE HUNGARIAN GHOSTS?
29412Can a Man really Dead appear in his own Body?
29412Can an angel or a demon restore a dead man to life?
29412Can it be the spirit of the defunct, which has not yet forsaken them, or some demon, which makes their apparition in a fantastic and borrowed body?
29412Can so simple an agent as the soul act upon itself, and reproduce it in some sort by thinking, after it has ceased to think?
29412Can the soul when separated from the body re- enter it when it will, and give it new life, were it but for a quarter of an hour?
29412Can these Instances be applied to the Hungarian Revenans?
29412Can we conceive that God allows them thus to come without reason or necessity and molest their families, and even cause their death?
29412Can we not see that such an opinion is making a god of the devil?
29412DO THE EXCOMMUNICATED ROT IN THE GROUND?
29412Did he do this by his own strength, or by the permission of God?
29412Did he not wash away his fault with his blood?
29412Did not Simon the magician rise into the air by means of the devil?
29412Did not St. Paul impose silence on the Pythoness of the city of Philippi in Macedonia?
29412Did not the first- mentioned perform many wonders before Pharaoh?
29412Do the Excommunicated rot in the Earth?
29412Do they not prevent people from inhabiting certain houses, under pretence of their being haunted?
29412Do they take them and leave them at will, as we lay aside a habit or a mask?
29412Do we not know with how many errors it has been infatuated in all ages, and which, though shared in common, were not the less mistakes?
29412Do we put to death hypochondriacs, maniacs, or those who imagine themselves ill?
29412Do you laugh at all that is told of dreams, magical operations, miracles, sorcerers, ghosts, and Thessalian wonders?
29412Do you see the Prince of Condè dead in that hedge?''
29412Does any one imagine that such things can be believed without offending God, and without showing a very injurious mistrust of his almighty power?
29412Does not St. Paul complain of the_ angel of Satan_ who buffeted him?
29412Does not St. Peter[657] tell us that"the devil prowls about us like a roaring lion, always ready to devour us?"
29412Does not the apostle tell us that the angel of darkness transforms himself into an angel of light?
29412For will it be said that these maledictions and inflictions were the effect of the inspiration of the good Spirit, or the work of good angels?
29412For, does it not happen that wood of different kinds, and fish bones, produce some light when their heat is excited by putrefaction?
29412HAS THE DEMON POWER TO CAUSE ANY ONE TO DIE AND THEN TO RESTORE THE DEAD TO LIFE?
29412Had he received the sacraments of the Church?
29412Has the Demon power to kill, and then to restore to Life?
29412Has the devil in this respect a greater power than an angel and a disembodied soul?
29412Have we ever seen lethargies, or swoons, or syncopes last whole years together?
29412Have we not again calendars in which are marked the lucky and unlucky days, as has been done during a time, under the name of Egyptians?
29412He answered,--"And who has taught you that secret?"
29412How can he be absolved without asking for absolution, or its appearing that he hath requested it?
29412How can it serve the demon to maintain this, and destroy the general opinion of nations on all these things?
29412How can people be absolved who died in mortal sin, and without doing penance?
29412How can you absolve him from excommunication before he has received absolution from sin?
29412How can you absolve the dead?
29412How can you convince a whole people of error?
29412How could St. Maur appear to him in his Benedictine habit, having the wizard on his left hand?
29412How could he introduce himself into young M. de la Richardière''s chamber without either opening or forcing the door?
29412How could he render himself visible to him alone, whilst none other beheld him?
29412How could he who appeared to the tailor Bauh imprint his hand on the board which he presented to him?
29412How could this wretched shepherd cast the spell without touching the person?
29412How did Apollonius of Tyana persuade the Ephesians to kill a man, who really was only a dog?
29412How did he know that this dog, or this man, was the cause of the pestilence which afflicted Ephesus?
29412How do the saints hear our prayers?
29412How do they drag them?
29412How do they speak?
29412How is this done?
29412How is this resurrection accomplished?
29412How many enterprises, praiseworthy in appearance, has he not inspired, in order to draw the faithful into his snare?
29412How many false miracles has he not wrought?
29412How many holy actions has he not counseled?
29412How many instances have we not seen of people who expired with fright in a moment?
29412How many times has he foretold future events?
29412How was it that the soldier mentioned by Æneas Sylvius did not recognize his wife, whom he pierced with his sword, and whose ears he cut off?
29412If in all there is only falsehood and illusion, what does he gain by undeceiving people?
29412If it is not God who drags them from their graves, is it an angel?
29412If it is so, why do they return to their graves?
29412If magicians possessed the secret of thus occasioning the death of any one they pleased, where is the prince, prelate, or lord who would be safe?
29412If people insist on these resurrections being real ones, did we ever see dead persons resuscitate themselves, and by their own power?
29412If the angels even have not a certain kind of body?--for if they are incorporeal, how can they be counted?
29412If the circumstance is certain, as it appears, who shall explain the manner in which all passed or took place?
29412If these two men were only spectres, having neither flesh nor bones, how could one of them imprint a black color on the hand of this widow?
29412If they are not resuscitated by themselves, is it by the power of God that they have left their graves?
29412If they are not united to them, how can they move them, and cause them to act, walk, speak, reason, and eat?
29412If they are reprobate and condemned, what have they to do on this earth?
29412If they are united to them, then they form but one individual; and how can they separate themselves from them, after being united to them?
29412If they could thus roast them slowly to death, why not kill them at once, by throwing the waxen image in the fire?
29412If they dared not stay in the church during the mass, when were they?
29412If they were evil genii, why did they ask for masses and order restitution?
29412Is all that accomplished by the natural power of these spirits?
29412Is it an angel, is it a demon who reanimates it?
29412Is it by the order, or by the permission of God that he resuscitates?
29412Is it for a long time, like that of the persons who were restored to life by Jesus Christ?
29412Is it not certain that the first step taken by those who had recourse to magic was to renounce God and Jesus Christ, and to invoke the demon?
29412Is it not since mankind began to enjoy the divine presence of the Word?
29412Is it sepulture?
29412Is it surprising that the bedstead should be seen to move, especially when the floor of the room is waxed and rubbed?
29412Is it the Almighty, to satisfy the revenge of an insignificant woman, or the jealousy of lovers of either sex?
29412Is it to show forth the works of God in these vampires?
29412Is not that, as it appears to some, denying and affirming at the same time the same thing under different names?
29412Is this resurrection voluntary on his part, and by his own choice?
29412It is by the strength of the_ revenant_, by the return of his soul into his body?
29412It is the devil, who sports with the simplicity of men?
29412Lord, why hast thou sent me back to this gloomy abode?"
29412M. Viardin having asked him in Latin,"Ubi censebaris quandò mane oriebaris?"
29412M. de Saumaise told him it meant,"Save yourself; do you not perceive the death with which you are threatened?"
29412Might it not be advanced that this light has appeared because the eye of the count was internally affected, or because it was so externally?
29412Must we, on this account, consider these histories as problematical?
29412Nevertheless, it may be asked, How these bodies came out?
29412Of what may we not believe the imagination capable after so strong a proof of its power?
29412Or was it the natural effect of Divine love, or fervor of devotion in these persons?
29412Origen adds, What could Providence have designed in performing for this Proconnesian the miracles we have just mentioned?
29412Ought he not rather to combat this writing, and show its weakness, falsehood, and dangerous tendency?
29412Peter added,"Could you tell me any news of Alphonso, king of Arragon, who died a few years ago?"
29412St. Augustine inquires afterwards if the dead have any knowledge of what is passing in this world?
29412The Jews sometimes went so far as to insult them in their dwellings, and even to say to them,[709]_ Ubi est verbum Domini?
29412The demon added,"Is it not enough that I show thee that I understand what thou sayest?"
29412The master of the house, and his domestics, the boldest amongst them, at last asked him what he wished for, and in what they could help him?
29412The saint asked him, where was the sepulchre of the priest who had pronounced against him the sentence of excommunication?
29412The saint laughed and said to him,"Would it not be better to give the value of your horses to the poor rather than employ them in such exercises?"
29412The spectre said to him,"Where are you going?"
29412The system of M. Law, bank notes, the rage of the Rue Quinquampoix, what movements did they not cause in the kingdom?
29412The young man added,"Was it in a dream, or awake, that you saw all that?"
29412The young man then asked,"Where is your body now?"
29412Then they wished to know if alms should be given in his name?
29412They asked him if he required any masses to be said?
29412They asked why he infested that house rather than another?
29412This is certainly not the case; but if it were so, why should witches have less power than magicians?
29412Thus we read in Ecclesiasticus--"Who will pity the enchanter that is bitten by the serpent?"
29412To what can these things be attributed, if not to an elf?
29412To what persecutions were not himself and Baruch his disciple exposed for having spoken in the name of the Lord?
29412UNDER WHAT FORM HAVE GOOD ANGELS APPEARED?
29412Under what form have Good Angels appeared?
29412Was her resurrection effected by her own strength and will, or was it a demon who restored her to life?
29412Was it a demon who animated the body of the boy, or did his soul re- enter his body by the permission of God?
29412Was it by the ministration of angels, or by the artifice of the seducing spirit, who wished to inspire her with sentiments of vanity and pride?
29412Was it his soul which moved his body, or a demon which made use of this corpse to disturb and frighten the living?
29412Was it not generally believed in former times, that there were no antipodes?
29412Was it their soul which appeared to me, or was it some other spirit which assumed their form?"
29412Was this young girl really dead, or only sleeping?
29412We read, in the author I am combating,"What shall we say of the fairies, a prodigy so notorious and so common?"
29412Were they the souls of these two pagans, or two demons who assumed their form?
29412Were they whole, or in a state of decay?
29412What advantage does the devil derive from making idiots believe these things, or maintaining them in such an error?
29412What becomes, in particular, of all the stories of the holy solitaries, of St. Anthony, St. Hilarion,& c.?
29412What benefit could mankind derive from them?
29412What cures has he not operated?
29412What do they want?
29412What does it matter, in fact, that they made false boastings, and that their attempts were useless?
29412What glory does the Divinity derive from them?
29412What has not been said for and against the divining- rod of Jacques Aimar?
29412What interest could the demon have in not permitting these bodies to come under the power of the Christians?
29412What is the aim of Lucian, in his Dialogue entitled"Philopseudis,"but to turn into ridicule the magic art?
29412What is the object of these resurrections?
29412What proof is there that God has anything to do with it?
29412What reason is given for this?
29412What stronger proof of the falsity of this art can we have than to see that Nero renounced it?"
29412What will become of the apparitions of Onias to Judas Maccabeus, and of the devil to Jesus Christ himself, after his fast of forty days?
29412What will become of the apparitions of angels, so well noted in the Old and New Testaments?
29412What would you have me do for you?"
29412When did they begin to despise the magic art?
29412Whence does it happen that they neither come back nor infest the place any more when they are burned or impaled?
29412Where, also, did they go?
29412Who are these witnesses?
29412Who can have given such power to the devil?
29412Who can not perceive in these words the surest marks of prepossession and fear?
29412Who will believe in our days that Ezzelin was the son of a will- o''-the- wisp?
29412Why did he not deny all these facts?
29412Why do these excommunicated persons return to their tombs after mass?
29412Why do they attach themselves to certain spots, and certain persons, rather than to others?
29412Why do they haunt and fatigue persons who ought to be dear to them, and who have done nothing to offend them?
29412Why do they make themselves perceptible only during a certain time, and that sometimes a short space?
29412Why is it so little sought after by princes and their ministers?
29412Why then may not the heat excited in this confined spirit produce some light?
29412Why wish to explain the whole book of Job literally, and as a true history, since its beginning is only a fiction?
29412Will it be God, will it be itself?
29412Will it be said that this is only the effect of imagination, prepossession, or the trickery of a clever charlatan?
29412Will this thinking matter think on always, or only at times; and when it has ceased to think, who will make it think anew?
29412Without this fruitful source, what becomes of the most ingenious fictions of Homer?
29412Would it be again the imagination of the living and their prejudices which reassure them after these executions?
29412[ 139] Will it be said that there was any collusion between St. Paul and the Pythoness?
29412[ 160] Job, speaking of the leviathan, which we believe to be the crocodile, says,"Shall the enchanter destroy it?
29412[ 352]"Quid se præcipitat de rarissimis aut inexpertis quasi definitam ferre sententiam, cum quotidiana et continua non solvat?"
29412[ 652] Did those whom he gave up to Satan for their crimes,[653] suffer nothing bodily?
29412[ 675]"Somnia, terrores magicos, miracula, sagas, Nocturnos lemures, portentaque Thessala rides?"
29412[ 702] Numquid dæmonium potest coecorum oculos asperire?
29412[ 76]"Quamquam cur Genium Romæ, mihi fingitis unum?
29412a man or a God?
29412and also is it not what he proposed to himself in the other, entitled"The Ass,"whence Apuleius derived his"Golden Ass?"
29412and consequently, how can we know whether it ought to be punished leniently or rigorously?
29412and has not joy itself sometimes produced an equally fatal effect?
29412and if there is any truth in them, why decry his own work, and take away the credit of his subordinates and his own operations?
29412and on what foundation can it be asserted that they are less criminal?
29412and why comest thou here?"
29412and why do we ask them for their intercession?
29412how could any one make it without renouncing common sense?
29412is it a demon?
29412is it their own spirit?
29412naked, or clad in their own dress, or in the linen and bandages which had enveloped them in the tomb?

45041How is it now,he goes on to ask,"that this stamp, impression, image, or painting, in us, a mere mode of the mind, can recall the absent object?"
45041: the_ ideal_ element; the conception, not of the actual and the real, as in the case of the other faculties, but of the purely ideal?
45041A matter of_ intellect_, or of_ feeling_; a_ judgment_, or an_ emotion_?
45041ARE MOTIVES THE CAUSE, AND VOLITIONS THE EFFECT?
45041Am I shut up to the actual inclinations and choices of any given hour or moment?
45041Am I under the stern rule of inevitable necessity and fate to do as I do, to choose as I choose, to be inclined as I am inclined?
45041And if sense is not reliable in the first instance, why rely upon it in the second, to prove that it is not reliable?
45041And then, again, which is really the agreeable, and which is truly the right?
45041And what else can you mean by strongest motive?
45041Are the minds of all observers equally susceptible of impression from the beautiful?
45041Are the volitions of Deity, then,_ uncaused_?
45041Are there not relations of things to each other, and so relations of thought, which do not fall under any of the categories now named?
45041Are these correct inductions?
45041Are they caused or uncaused?
45041Are they the same thing, and if not, wherein do they differ?
45041Are they, in that case,_ supernatural_ events?
45041Are we to withhold or yield our assent?
45041Are we, in all cases to follow its decisions?
45041Augustine, Andrè, and others, ancient and modern, seek the hidden principle of beauty in the elements of_ order and proportion_?
45041But does not law_ presuppose_ the idea of right and wrong?
45041But does the word_ power_ properly include both?
45041But how are these things to be reconciled-- man''s entire freedom, God''s entire control and government of him?
45041But how shall this strength of will, so desirable, so essential to true greatness and nobleness of character, be attained?
45041But how, it may occur to some one to ask, happens such a habit to be formed in the first place?
45041But in what sense does the mind retain anything which has once occupied its thoughts?
45041But is it certain, or it is probable, that they are_ mere_ coincidences?
45041But is there a middle ground possible or conceivable?
45041But is this all he does?
45041But what could induce such a being to_ will_ or to_ act_?
45041But what did he mean by_ moral necessity_?
45041But what have they in common?
45041But whence comes, in the first instance, the concrete idea?
45041But why should such associations operate more powerfully upon the miser, than upon any other person?
45041Can any one show that this is impossible?
45041Can any thing be more absurd?
45041Do they not suggest and express to us ideas of grace, elegance, delicacy, and the like?
45041Do we first understand, and then will; or does something else intervene between the intellectual perception and the volition?
45041Do we not find ourselves attracted by, and, in a sort, in sympathy with these forms, as thus significant and expressive?
45041Does it any longer exist?
45041Does it belong to the rational or sensitive part of our nature: to the domain of intellect, or of feeling, or both?
45041Does it so imply and involve the exercise of reason, that it is not to be found except in connection with, and as the result of, that principle?
45041Does it, in a word, denote the_ intellectual_ rather than the_ emotional_ element of the process?
45041Does it, like the loss of voluntary power over the physical frame, result from the inactivity of the nervous apparatus?
45041Does not the very fact of a volition imply that we have already in mind the thing willed and wished for?
45041Does the fact that I am inclined, and strongly so, to a given choice, prevent me from putting forth that choice in the shape of executive volition?
45041Does the_ prevalent_ motive actually_ prevail_?
45041Does this ever occur?
45041Does vision alone give the idea that what we see is numerically distinct from ourselves, and that it occupies this or that particular locality?
45041Extension in what, motion in what?
45041Had we no other means of information, would sight alone give us this?
45041Has God made nothing, in so doing?
45041Has he conceived nothing,_ created_ nothing?
45041Has he then created nothing, conceived nothing?
45041Has it not a character_ sui generis_?
45041Has such an emotion, strictly speaking, any moral character?
45041Have I any power to change those affections and inclinations; or, they remaining as they are, have I any power to go contrary to them?
45041Have I then the power of attending to two things at once?
45041Have we any such power?
45041How are these conceptions formed?
45041How are we to prove that sense deceives us, except by arguments drawn from sense?
45041How can he do these things without seeing?
45041How come we by these notions?
45041How comes this word--_taste_--to be used, rather than any other, to denote the idea and power now under consideration?
45041How do I know that it exists?
45041How do I know_ now_ that the rose exists?
45041How do these emotions differ-- in degree merely-- or in nature?
45041How do we know that which is here affirmed?
45041How do we know, in fact, that there_ is_ any such external reality?
45041How else could we will to recall it?
45041How far are we responsible for its exercise?
45041How far is it to be trusted in its perceptions and decisions?
45041How happens the poor insect, just emerging from the egg, to find in himself all requisite appliances and instruments for capturing his prey?
45041How is it that events of former years come back to mind, with all the freshness and reality of passing scenes?
45041How is it that she performs actions requiring often a high degree of intelligence, and yet without apparent consciousness?
45041How is it that the somnambulist rises and moves about in a state of apparently sound sleep?
45041How is it, why is it, that we pronounce an act right or wrong, when once fairly apprehended?
45041How know we our senses to be reliable?
45041How so?
45041How, then, can it originate that on which itself depends, and which it presupposes?
45041How, then, is it known, that mind can not act without first acting in order to act?
45041I have forgotten, for instance, the name of a person: I seek to recall it; to recall what?
45041I think, I_ feel_, I will; is not that the order of the mental processes?
45041IS THE WILL ALWAYS AS THE GREATEST APPARENT GOOD?
45041IS THE WILL DETERMINED BY THE STRONGEST MOTIVE?
45041If all coin were counterfeit, how could we detect a counterfeit coin?
45041If caused, then by what?
45041If not free, then how am I responsible?
45041If not material, how can it represent matter, and how can the mind know that it does represent correctly the external object?
45041If not, if limits there are to this method of reasoning, what are they?
45041If not, then why may it not_ will_ without first_ willing_ to will?
45041If the former, then what is it in the object that constitutes its beauty?
45041If the latter, are they the result of education, or of legal restraint?
45041If the latter, how could a law which was neither just nor unjust, have suggested to the subjects of it any such ideas?
45041If the latter, then are we_ correct_ in attributing any such quality to the object?
45041If the perception of right and wrong is intuitive, how happens this diversity?
45041If the representative image be itself material, how can the mind take cognizance of it?
45041If there were no intelligent, observing mind, to behold and feel that beauty, would the object still be beautiful, even as now?
45041If this may happen in some cases, why not in others, or in all?
45041Indeed what is all science but the work of mind?
45041Is all knowledge only some form of judgment?
45041Is beauty something objective, or merely subjective and emotional?
45041Is it a difference in_ kind_, or only in_ degree_?
45041Is it a mere idea, a mere conception of the mind, or has it reality?
45041Is it also more beautiful?
45041Is it an act which the mind puts forth when it will, and withholds when it will?
45041Is it by vision that we learn primarily the distance of objects and their locality?
45041Is it certain that our experience, though it be uniform and unvaried, is the universal experience?
45041Is it correct procedure?
45041Is it matter of expediency and calculation, of policy and necessity, or of native instinct and implanted constitutional desire?
45041Is it more improbable than that the cases recorded are mere chance coincidences?
45041Is it not built on that idea as its basis?
45041Is it not equally mysterious that ideas which have formerly coëxisted should recall each other?
45041Is it not reasonable to suppose that the same may be true of man?
45041Is it owing to the pains taken to define the terms employed, and the strict adherence to those definitions?
45041Is it the chief thing?
45041Is it, in such a sense, peculiar to a rational and intelligent nature?
45041Is it, then, a safe guide?
45041Is it_ determined_ at all by_ any_ motive or by any thing?
45041Is it_ intuitive_?
45041Is not this state, or affection of the mind, as Dr. Brown calls it, quite a distinct thing from other mental states and affections?
45041Is taste a matter of feeling, or is it an intellectual discernment, or is it both?
45041Is the conclusion at which I thus arrive, involved in the premiss with which I start?
45041Is the novel the beautiful?
45041Is the will_ determined_ by that motive which prevails?
45041Is there in such a case a special act of volition and attention preceding each movement of the fingers as they glide over the keys?
45041Is this so?
45041Is this the case?
45041Is this the soul and spirit of his divine art?
45041Is, then, the human will free, in the sense now defined?
45041It is only a conception now, but who shall estimate the worth of that simple power of conception?
45041It reasons, judges, conceives, imagines; must it first reason, judge, etc.,_ in order_ to reason, and judge, and conceive, and imagine?
45041Not, I suspect, from any special change which the brain undergoes, for why should such changes affect_ this_ faculty more than any other?
45041Now, in what consists that power?
45041Of what use is a memory or a judgment, that sometimes errs?
45041Of what use to the beholder is the ruddy glow and flash of sunrise on the Alpine summits as seen from the Rhigi or Mount Blanc?
45041Of what use, in fact, is beauty in any case, other than as it may be the means of refining the taste, and elevating the mind?
45041Of what use, we reply, is_ any_ mental faculty, that is not absolutely and universally correct?
45041Or is it a mere passive susceptibility of the mind to be impressed in this particular way?
45041Or, who ever supposed that, of two motives, it was not the stronger but the weaker one that in a given case prevailed?
45041Ought we then to expect absolute uniformity of effect?
45041Shall we choose the agreeable?
45041Shall we choose the right?
45041Shall we conclude, because of this diversity, that these several faculties are not parts of our nature?
45041Shall we follow a guide thus liable to err?
45041Shall we suppose then so many thousand acts of attention and volition in a minute?
45041The mind thinks; must it first think, in order to think?
45041The question arose, for the instant, Shall I do it?
45041The question at once arises, is it right?
45041The question is, whether this alone would, in the first instance, give us such cognitions?
45041The question no longer is, Whence comes that swift ship, and whither goes it, but, What am I, and whither going; what my history, and my destiny?
45041The question still remains, however, in which of the several ways indicated, does this result take place?
45041The simple question is, Am I at liberty to follow it?
45041The very occurrence of a thing to be done, a possible thing, and of a motive for doing it, raises, of itself, the question, Shall it be done?
45041Under what circumstances is a given conception awakened in the mind by some preceding conception or perception?
45041Unquestionably he does derive immense advantages from it; but is that the reason he desires it?
45041Was it any thing more?
45041Was it merely an accidental thing-- a matter of chance-- that the dream should occur as it did, and should tally so closely with the facts?
45041Were there no_ feeling_ awakened by the intellectual perception, would there be any volition with regard to the object perceived?
45041What are order and proportion?
45041What are the limits, if limits there are, to this belief of the uniformity of nature, and to the reasoning based on that belief?
45041What but love could prompt to the many sacrifices and privations cheerfully endured for its welfare?
45041What but love could sustain the weary mother during the long and anxious nights of watching by the couch of her suffering child?
45041What constitutes a cause?
45041What do they express of the higher or spiritual element of being?
45041What does he need, the material universe remaining what it is?
45041What else are the little communities of the bee, and the ant, and the beaver, but so many busy cities, and states, of the insect and animal tribes?
45041What emotion does that object awaken in me?
45041What evidence have we that they do not habitually deceive us?
45041What evidence have we, in a word, of the existence of any thing beyond and without our own minds?
45041What have we found to be the process of the mind in volition?
45041What have we to do with them or they with us?
45041What have we, under all these manifestations, but the desire of superiority, and what is that but the desire of power in one of its most common forms?
45041What is it in the object, that constitutes its beauty?
45041What is it precisely that we hear?
45041What is it that I see in this case?
45041What is it that is beautiful?
45041What is it with the lower animals?
45041What is that but an instance under the law of similarity?
45041What is that but the operation of the law of contiguity in time?
45041What is that but the relation of cause to effect?
45041What is that certain peculiarity, or quality, of a certain class of objects, which constitutes what we call_ the ludicrous_, objectively considered?
45041What is the consequence?
45041What mean we by that word?
45041What now are my emotions?
45041What of yourself had you forgotten?
45041What passes now in my mind?
45041What produces it?
45041What standard have you for measuring motives and gauging their strength, except simply to judge of them by the_ effects_ they produce?
45041What then are the facts in the case, as given by consciousness, and observation?
45041What then is the fact?
45041What voucher have we for its correctness?
45041What, but the love of power, leads the warrior forth, at the head of conquering armies, to devastate and subdue new realms?
45041What, in fact, is the mind itself but cerebral activity, and what is man, with all his higher powers, but a mere animated organism?
45041What, then, is a faculty of the mind?
45041What, then, is the analogy?
45041What, then, is the simple idea of space?
45041What_ is_ this faculty as exercised; a judgment, a process of reasoning, or an emotion?
45041Whatever may be true of deduction, is not induction essentially a synthetic process?
45041When I experience an emotion of fear, of hope, of joy, or of sorrow, what is it that is joyful or sorrowful, hopeful or fearful?
45041When we first open our eyes on external objects, do we receive the idea of extension and figure, or only of color?
45041When we fix the eye upon any object, more or less remote, what is it, strictly speaking, that we see, extension and figure, or only color?
45041Whence come these first principles?
45041Whence comes the notion of a time, a space, a substance, a cause, a right or wrong act?
45041Whence comes the_ idea_ of right and wrong which lies at the foundation of every particular judgment as to the moral character of actions?
45041Whence did_ they_ derive them?
45041Where is it to be sought?
45041Whether this be stated before or after the conclusion is a mere matter of form; but what is our authority for stating such a proposition at all?
45041Which of these views, then, is the correct and true one?
45041Who shall solve this problem; who shall read me this strange inexplicable riddle of human life?
45041Who taught_ them_, and set_ them_ the example?
45041Why are we not_ all_ misers, if such associations are the true cause and explanation of avarice?
45041Why did I choose_ a_?
45041Will the name itself afford any solution of this problem?
45041Would not such an arrangement be of great service?
45041Would not this virtually shut out and extinguish all mental action?
45041_ A Dream, what._--What, then, is a_ dream_?
45041_ Activity of the Sensibilities also involved._--But does volition immediately follow the action of the intellect in the case supposed?

45041_ Application of the preceding Psychology to this Question._--How, then, are these two great facts to be reconciled?

45041_ Imagination as related to Memory._--How, then, does imagination differ from_ memory_?
45041_ It is, nevertheless, to be followed._--What, then, are we to do?
45041_ Its Value not thus destroyed._--But of what use, it will be said, is a moral faculty, on which, after all, we can not rely?
45041_ Judgment in relation to Knowledge._--Are judgment and knowledge identical?
45041_ Judgment._--Are they then the product and operation of the faculty of judgment?
45041_ Legal Enactment._--Do we then derive these ideas from legal_ restriction and enactment_?
45041_ Limits of Belief._--What are the limits of belief in testimony?
45041_ Main Question._--The main question is, are these ideas_ natural_, or_ artificial and acquired_?
45041_ Man not the highest Type of Beauty._--Is then the human form the highest expression of the principle of beauty?
45041_ Meaning of the Term._--What is sleep?
45041_ Memory in the Brute._--It may still be asked, does not the brute_ remember_?
45041_ Mental Philosophy, what._--What is Mental Philosophy, as distinguished from other branches of science?
45041_ Not a mere Conception._--Is space, then, a mere conception of the mind, merely subjective?
45041_ Not derived from Sense._--But is not this principle of causality derived from experience?
45041_ Not necessary to suppose them Supernatural._--Shall we believe, then, that dreams are sometimes prophetic?
45041_ Not the first._--Is it the first?
45041_ Observation of an Act of Will._--What, then, are the essential phenomena of an act of the will?
45041_ Opposite View._--On the other hand, if we make space a reality, and not a mere conception, what is it, and where is it?
45041_ Prophetic Aspect._--Are dreams sometimes_ prophetic_, and how are such to be accounted for?
45041_ Question returns._--Among these several views, where then, lies the truth?
45041_ Question stated._--But what are the laws of association, or suggestion, so- called-- in other words, of mental conception?
45041_ Question stated._--Is beauty merely subjective, an emotion of our own minds, or is it a quality of objects?
45041_ Reasons for regarding Consciousness as not a distinct Faculty._--Is this, however, a distinct faculty of the mind?
45041_ Second Question-- Does Sight give Distance?_--Is it also by vision that we obtain the idea of the_ distance_ of objects and their externality?
45041_ Sleep involves primarily Loss of Consciousness._--What then, further than this, is sleep?
45041_ Space.__ Subjective View._--What is space?
45041_ Special Sense._--Shall we attribute these ideas to a_ special sense_?
45041_ Strengthened by Use._--In what way, it is sometimes asked, may the faculty under consideration be improved and strengthened?
45041_ The Nature of Conscience._--What is it?
45041_ The Question and its different Answers._--But here an important question presents itself:_ Whence come_ these ideas and perceptions; their origin?
45041_ The Question stated._--_Views of Locke and Dryden._--Under what circumstances, then, is the feeling of the ludicrous awakened?
45041_ The Question._--Which, then, of these elements is it that answers to the idea of taste, as used to denote a power of the mind?
45041_ The Term"strongest"as thus employed._--Much depends on what we mean by"strongest"in this connection, and what by the word"determined?"
45041_ The more important Distinctions to be first ascertained._--What, then, are the clearly distinct modes of mental activity?
45041_ The true Answer._--To the question, then,_ can_ the man whose inclinations are to evil, whose heart is wrong, do right?

45041_ Theory of the Useful._--Is, then, the_ useful_ the beautiful?
45041_ To Perception._--In what respect does it differ from_ perception_?
45041_ Unjust to require what it is impossible to perform._--Have I power, in all cases, to do what the divine will requires; power to do_ right_?
45041_ What Evidence of Correctness._--How are we to know, then, whether conscience judges right?
45041_ What_ name?
45041_ Will it be put in Requisition?_--But will this power be ever exercised?
45041and the more beautiful it is, does it so much the more plainly and directly manifest this element?
45041g._, that all men are mortal?
45041is too often true, and what then becomes of my_ power_ to do right?
45041that, as we grow old, while perhaps other powers of the mind are still vigorous, the memory begins to lose its tenacity?
45041ye learned men, explain What essence, substance, what hypostasis In five poor letters is?
22593''Did you recognize the spirit?'' 22593 ''Does any one recognize this"party"?''
22593''How many bars are in it?'' 22593 ''Who are you?''
22593''Who are you?'' 22593 A male psychic?
22593Absorbing business, is n''t it?
22593After she passed, my friend opened her eyes as before, clearly, smilingly, and said,''Have you had enough?'' 22593 After that superb test, why did n''t he frankly say the discarnate had been proved?"
22593Am I right?
22593And how about your own subconscious self? 22593 And not in me?
22593And this was done?
22593Are n''t there any fixed rules to the game?
22593Are n''t we sitting right?
22593Are there other spirits present?
22593Are there other''spirits''here?
22593Are you present,''Wilbur''?
22593Are you satisfied with the conditions?
22593Are you sure the writing was there as she drew the slate out?
22593Are_ you_ the only one competent to study these facts?
22593As a test?
22593Because he is a sceptic?
22593But how will he account for the difference in size between Eusapia''s hands and the_ large black hand_ that she saw and felt?
22593But were they? 22593 But what about the voices?"
22593But where does all this lead to if not to spiritualism?
22593But who are you?
22593But your mind is perfectly normal?
22593Ca n''t you speak?
22593Ca n''t you tell us about it more particularly?
22593Ca n''t you write?
22593Can it be that the good old theory of the permanence of matter is a gross and childish thing? 22593 Can you deceive''them''?"
22593Candidly, Garland, what is your own belief?
22593Could you see this hand?
22593Did he get the records?
22593Did he manufacture a double out of you?
22593Did it succeed?
22593Did n''t Crookes afterward repudiate that early report?
22593Did she look like the medium?
22593Did some one blow on my hands? 22593 Did the medium look at the music?"
22593Did the writing appear to be supernormal?
22593Did you accept his invitation?
22593Did you mean you did n''t want Mrs. Fowler unaccounted for?
22593Do n''t you believe in them?
22593Do they speak to you directly?
22593Do you always have that sensation?
22593Do you believe in the guides?
22593Do you ever have any perception of a physical connection between yourself and the sitters?
22593Do you feel any motion in your thread, Fowler?
22593Do you feel faint?
22593Do you intend to convey that they considered the medium dishonest?
22593Do you mean that the man and the ghost were united in some way?
22593Do you mean that they did this to punish you for your peeping?
22593Do you mean that you will believe in spirits?
22593Do you mean they sound like actual people?
22593Do you mean to say spirits speak through that horn?
22593Do you mean to say that this''Katie King''phantom actually_ talked_ with the people in the room? 22593 Does he find this sandwiching of the sexes helpful?"
22593Does he not say that, in spite of all his proof, he will not even hazard an affirmation of the phenomena?
22593Does this theory cover the whispering personalities we heard? 22593 Essentials such as what?"
22593Even in the''Katie King''episode?
22593Fowler,I said,"are you controlling your wife''s hands?"
22593Garland, will you purvey another psychic and conduct the pursuit?
22593Has she been in the business long?
22593Has that ever been done?
22593Have you ever had any convincing evidence of this psychic force-- such as movement of objects without contact?
22593Have you ever seen it done?
22593Have you ever seen these forces at work?
22593Have you ever witnessed any materializations?
22593Have you tried to secure more of the music?
22593How could Dolly have known that he held his pen in just that way? 22593 How do we go at it?"
22593How do you account for a thing of that sort?
22593How do you account for it, Miller?
22593How do you account for it? 22593 How do you feel?"
22593How does she do it?
22593How does the scientific gentleman explain it?
22593How was she dressed?
22593How? 22593 I gently asked:''Who are you?
22593I thought from what you had said that these''dark shows''were of no value?
22593If you do not believe in tacks, will you believe in the touch of your fingers?
22593Is anybody present?
22593Is it the bishop?
22593Is n''t it incredible? 22593 Is n''t the latest word of science to the effect that matter like the human body is only a temporary condition of force?"
22593Is she a psychic?
22593Is she married?
22593Is the house ready for the question?
22593Is the psychic speaking to us,he asked,"or are these voices independent of her?"
22593Is there anything sacred in error? 22593 It is the clay,"I said, quickly;"will you make the impression of a face?"
22593Just who is Bottazzi?
22593May I come forward?
22593Mrs. Smiley was about that age, was n''t she?
22593Must we keep still?
22593Now will some one sing''Annie Laurie,''or any other sweet, low song? 22593 Now, just to show you that the psychic is not doing this, ca n''t you hold up a book between me and the light?
22593Now, which of us did that?
22593Oh, come now, you do n''t expect us to believe a miracle like that, even on your serious statement?
22593Ross laughed, and the''influence,''thrusting her face close to his, blurted out, menacingly:''Do n''t know me, hey? 22593 Sands?"
22593Shall I change with Miller?
22593Shall I go now?
22593Suppose it''s all the work of an''astral''who ca n''t abide the light?
22593Suppose you had been able to find that musical fragment, would it have converted you?
22593Tell us more about yourself,''Wilbur''?
22593That is good talk,said Miller in reply,"but the question is, Does he really experiment in that condition of mind?
22593That would seem to prove a sort of universal mind reservoir, would n''t it?
22593The first requisite is a small table--"Why a table?
22593The question with me is not, Do these forms exist? 22593 The word means feeling at a distance, does it not, professor?"
22593Then why go on? 22593 Was this the climax of his series?
22593We have heard of Lombroso, but who is Paladino?
22593Well, Garland, what do you intend to do with the facts obtained this afternoon? 22593 Well, how will you explain this performance?
22593Well, now,said Cameron,"the practical question is this: are we to go on with our investigation?"
22593Well, what do you suggest as the proper method for the society?
22593Well, what luck?
22593Were not the notions of Galileo and Darwin also subverting?
22593Were there three doctors present?
22593Were you conscious of groaning and gasping?
22593What I would like to know at this point,Harris quickly interposed,"is this: were the fingermarks lined like Bottazzi''s or like the medium''s?"
22593What about it? 22593 What about that, Miller?"
22593What about the other messages? 22593 What about the process?"
22593What are you reading from?
22593What are you saying? 22593 What did Alexander''s family think of the music?"
22593What did it look like?
22593What do you do with that?
22593What do you know about this learned doctor?
22593What do you mean by speaking?
22593What do you mean by that?
22593What do you mean by''physiological determinism''?
22593What do you mean by''the playing of a closed piano''?
22593What do you wish to imply?
22593What does he mean? 22593 What does she do?"
22593What happened to you?
22593What happened? 22593 What happened?"
22593What have you been doing to me?
22593What is her''phase,''as you call it?
22593What is she about now?
22593What is she talking about?
22593What is telepathy, then?
22593What is the matter?
22593What is your reason for that?
22593What was Blake''s conclusion? 22593 What was that work?"
22593What was the psychic doing all this time?
22593What was the''Katie King''experience?
22593What were the conditions? 22593 What''s the matter, Dolly?"
22593What_ is_ a real hand?
22593Where is the medium?
22593Where is the pad? 22593 Where was Paladino meanwhile?"
22593Who are you? 22593 Who are you?"
22593Who is Maxwell?
22593Who is it?
22593Who is she?
22593Who''s doing that? 22593 Why are you doing this?"
22593Why attempt to reduce her manifestations to natural magic? 22593 Why did n''t these wonders take place in our presence?"
22593Why did n''t you bring her to dinner?
22593Why disturb her belief in the spirit world?
22593Why illusory?
22593Why not accuse the arch- conspirator of us all, our director?
22593Why not? 22593 Why should you and Brierly be so favored?"
22593Why?
22593Why?
22593Why?
22593Why?
22593Will you be able to do something more for us?
22593Will you tell me how that final movement was made? 22593 Wo n''t you tell me who you were on the earth- plane?"
22593Wo n''t you tell us all about it?
22593Would you have us accept the word of any one man when that word contradicts the experience of all mankind?
22593Would''they''bat me if I were to peek?
22593You admit being a prestidigitator?
22593You are sure the piano was closed?
22593You believe''they''are spirits?
22593You did n''t see anything like that, did you?
22593You had that experience, did you not?
22593You mean, of course, that some of these highly cultured ladies would develop hysteria?
22593You must be very tired, poor thing?
22593You sometimes seem to go far away, do you not?
22593You were pretty well convinced that night in your study, were n''t you?
22593_ All right._"What are you going to do for us to- night? 22593 _ I was a soldier._""In the Civil War?"
22593_ I was invalided home to Jefferson City, and passed out there._"How do you happen to be''guide''to this little woman?
22593_ I''m doing it._"How can you see?
22593_ Wilbur Thompson._"Oh, it is you, is it? 22593 _ Yes._""On which side?"
22593_ Yes; many._"Ca n''t''they''write their names on the pad?
22593''"[ 2]"I wonder why the spirits are always clothed in that luminous gauze?"
22593''Are you controlling the psychic''s hand?''
22593''As many as sixty?''
22593''But the message concerning your mother can be tested, can it not?''
22593''Ca n''t you keep time while I whistle?''
22593''Can a man lift himself by his boot- straps?''
22593''Can the subconscious self act in several places at once?''
22593''Can you tell me the places?''
22593''Do you know what you''ve said?''
22593''Forty?''
22593''How many persons were there?''
22593''How, then, can we consider it to be a spirit hand-- an immaterial hand-- when a wire- netting can stop it?''
22593''Oh, where am I?''
22593''Presently she asked:"What is that round object?
22593''Shall I publish it?''
22593''To whom does this hand belong?''
22593''What are you all doing here?
22593''What do you want done with this fragment,"Isinghere"?''
22593''What do you want of me?''
22593''Why do you wilfully blind your eyes?
22593''Wilbur,''can you put the cone back on the table?"
22593A light, fumbling noise followed, and I called out:"Is every hand in the circle accounted for?"
22593A moment later she opened her eyes, and, smiling rather wanly, asked of me:"Did anything happen?"
22593A.''?"
22593Accepting this law as proved by our illustrious fellow- experimenters abroad, are you ready to try again along the lines they have marked out?"
22593Aksakof told him all he needed to do was to go round the corner, did n''t he?"
22593Almost immediately faint raps came upon the table, and I asked:"Are you there,''Mitchell''?"
22593Am I right, Miller?"
22593And Mrs. Quigg, much shaken, called out:"Frank Howard, are you doing this?"
22593Another little colloquy: Editor:"Shall I draw the bar where it belongs?"
22593Are we not forced to conclude that the table was moved by some supernormal expenditure of force?
22593Are we sitting right?"
22593Are we sitting right?"
22593Are you addressing me?"
22593Are you conscious of being in the upper part of the room, for instance, and do you see your body below you?''
22593Are you not holding one hand and Miss Brush the other?
22593Are you still with us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Are you still with us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Are you sure of Blake?"
22593As I paused, Harris said:"Was all that in his report to the Royal Society?"
22593At last I asked,"Has any one here lost a little child?"
22593At length she recovered her voice and asked,''Are you speaking to me?''
22593At the end of the song I asked, matter- of- factly:"Are the conditions right?
22593But is n''t that a staggering hypothesis?
22593Ca n''t you do something decisive at this moment?"
22593Ca n''t you pluck the bass strings?''
22593Ca n''t you prove that she is independent of your voice?
22593Ca n''t you see how necessary it is that we should proceed with her full consent?
22593Ca n''t you tell us your name?''
22593Can you bring that to me,''Wilbur''?"
22593Can you do that for me?"
22593Can you imagine any reasonable person believing such things?"
22593Can you raise the table?"
22593Can you tell me who they were?''
22593Can you tell us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Composer:"_ No._"Editor:"There?"
22593Composer:"_ Yes, if you please._"Editor:"Here?"
22593Composer:"_ Yes._"Editor:"Is the G- sharp, then, to be regarded as a suspension?"
22593Could any trickster perform in the dark with such precision and gentleness?
22593Did Bottazzi get these things done?"
22593Did anything happen?"
22593Did he put the same value upon it all that you did?"
22593Did she get the books with her feet?
22593Do the dead tell tales, after all?
22593Do you object?"
22593Does Sir William Crookes say that?"
22593Does he mean that Eusapia performed all these movements with her''astral hands''?"
22593Does it not seem to you a case of the''psychic force,''such as Crookes and Richet describe?"
22593Does she perform for a living?
22593Dolly, what have you been doing?"
22593Finally I asked:"Are you still with us,''Wilbur''?"
22593Fowler struck in:"But what will you do with materializations such as Dr. Richet studied at the Villa Carmen in Algiers?
22593Garland?"
22593Garland?"
22593Have I been asleep?"
22593Have they all been on the physical plane?"
22593Have you had other messages written in that wonderful way?"
22593Here I interposed:"The only question that concerns me at this stage is: Does the table tip and the brush really fly?
22593How about it, Garland?"
22593How about it, Miller?"
22593How about the books?
22593How about the broad hand which I saw?
22593How about the candy- box which was moved from a point seven feet away?
22593How can a thought in the brain of man contract a set of muscles and lift a cannon- ball?
22593How can letters within closed slates be formed so beautifully and so precisely without some form of seeing?"
22593How can she possibly reach and handle that cone?"
22593How could it be correct otherwise?_"Another example.
22593How could she slip from her bonds?
22593How did you happen to get into this shadow world?"
22593How do you account for that, Miller?"
22593How do you account for the writing?
22593How do you feel?"
22593How do you feel?"
22593How does she handle the cone?
22593How does she write on the pads on the table, and how does she whisk them away?
22593How else could the cone be handled with such precision as was shown at your house, Miller?
22593I am inclined to think they are produced by some force within ourselves--''""Just what does he mean by that?"
22593I asked:"Who are you?
22593I glanced about the table at my silent listeners, and added:"Could anything be more dramatic than this sad farewell?
22593I meant to take it away, but did I?
22593I met him twice._''""''Can you tell me where?''
22593I say facts, for I am opposed to the theory._''""Did Lombroso say that?"
22593I then asked:"''Wilbur,''do you want me to change with Fowler and control Mrs. Fowler''s hands?"
22593I was a brigadier- general._""Where were you killed?"
22593I was so badly off mentally that I do n''t know whether I did or not._''Whereupon Blake said:''Do you mean Schumann the publisher?''
22593I''m like the old man''s chickens( you''ve heard the story?
22593If it were a mere matter of deception, would there not be thousands at the trade?
22593In pursuit of this idea, I then asked:''Are you conscious of your body which you have left behind?
22593Is every hand accounted for?"
22593Is it Mrs. R., of Vermont?"
22593Is it not rather suggestive that the number of practising mediums does not materially increase?
22593Is it something analogous to the pteropod of an amoeba, which projects itself from the body, then retreats into it only to reappear in another place?
22593Is it the hand of a monstrous long arm which liberates itself from the medium''s body, then dissolves, to afterward"materialize"afresh?
22593Is she nice?
22593Is that what you mean?"
22593Is this just?
22593Is this_ all_ he is willing to affirm?"
22593Is''Wilbur''your surname?"
22593May I do so?"
22593Miller was silent for a moment, then asked:"You''re sure it was done after you took the slates in hand?"
22593Miller, will you watch me?"
22593Miller?"
22593Mitchell would like to have you tie the threads to the legs of the table._""Are you''Maud?''"
22593Mrs. Quigg caught me up on this:"What do you mean by''traditions of mediumship''?"
22593Mrs. Quigg sharply queried,"Whom are you talking to?"
22593Nevertheless, how many"_ knowing_ people and_ savans_"have formed a judgment on phenomena after séances such as this one?''"
22593Remember Geny?
22593Remember the night on the door- step?
22593Shall I try?"
22593She brought books, shook the table, touched us-- How?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Smiley?"
22593Suppose Flammarion is right?
22593Suppose that the psychic can extend her arms beyond their normal proportions?
22593Suppose the whisper were only a bit of clever ventriloquism, how did the psychic secure the information conveyed in this dialogue?
22593Tap, tap, tap--"_Yes._""Are we sitting right?"
22593The answer was but a sibilant sigh:"_ Yes._""Who are you?"
22593The following colloquy ensued: Editor:"Does the piece begin with the tonic chord of A?"
22593Then all turned to Miller as though to ask:"What do you think of that?"
22593There was a loud outcry:"What do you mean?
22593Thereupon I said:''Ca n''t you play a tune?''
22593Thus far to- night we have_ proved_ that Mrs. Smiley is not concerned with the drumming on the cone, have n''t we?"
22593To sustain this contention, let me ask if you have ever read the account of Sir William Crookes''s experiments with psychic force?"
22593Two or three times the whispering voice called,''_ Is Garland here?_''and once it asked:''_ What is Garland doing?
22593Two or three times the whispering voice called,''_ Is Garland here?_''and once it asked:''_ What is Garland doing?
22593Was it light?"
22593Was the woman crushed?"
22593We sat in silence for a few moments, and at last I asked:"Is any spirit present?"
22593Were they all disappointing?"
22593What about the tacks, the threads, the tapes that bound her?
22593What about''Wilbur''and''Maudie''?"
22593What are your sensations now?"
22593What can you do for us to- night?"
22593What did you do on the earth?"
22593What do you want us to do-- announce ourselves converted?"
22593What does he mean to infer?"
22593What have you been about?"
22593What is it?"
22593What is your verdict, Mr. Cocksure Scientist?"
22593What kind of a person are we to expect?"
22593What then?
22593What time is it?"
22593What time is it?"
22593What will you do with the photographs of the spectre of the helmeted soldier which he obtained under what he declares were test conditions?"
22593What you going to do about it?''
22593When and where shall we meet?"
22593When this had finished, I said,"Did you succeed?"
22593Where does she live?"
22593Where''s Jim?''
22593Which of us is doing this?"
22593Who is she?
22593Who is she?
22593Who knows but the conclusions of Venzano and Morselli, of Bottazzi and Foà, have opened new vistas in human nature?
22593Whose is the eye that directs this instrument?
22593Why did n''t he handcuff her, or nail her down?
22593Why doubt that which would comfort you?''
22593Why not admit the truth?
22593Why not perform in the light?"
22593Why not stop now and save ourselves the trouble of investigation?"
22593Will I like her?"
22593Will she be able to discharge a gold- leaf electroscope without touching it?"
22593Will she be able to illuminate a screen treated with platino- cyanide of barium?
22593Will the medium be able to impress a photographic plate?
22593Will you be able to permit conditions more convincing?"
22593Will you be one of them?"
22593Will you do that,''Wilbur''?"
22593Will you permit that?"
22593Will you permit this test?"
22593Wo n''t somebody help me?
22593Would n''t our deserters be chagrined if we should now proceed to enjoy a really startling session?"
22593Would that necessarily make the spiritist theory untenable?
22593You are not doing this, Miller?"
22593You believe in her?"
22593You do not stand out against wireless telegraphy or the Röntgen ray?"
22593You have had other sittings with her, have n''t you?
22593_ Tap, tap, tap._"Are you moving the table?"
22593_ Tap, tap, tap._"To get it out of reach of the psychic?"
22593at times represented an opposing will?"
22593but, What produces them?
22593had_ spoken_ these things to you face to face-- what then?"
22593he asked--''this hand, a half a yard away from the medium''s head, seen while her visible hands are rigorously controlled by her two neighbors?
22593queried the painter;"who is Sands?"
22593questioned Fowler--"that he disputed certain passages with Blake, and that he finally carried his point in opposition to every mind in the circle?"
22593replied; and I said:''And you want the manuscript recalled from Schumann and given to Smart?''
22593she cried out, and Mrs. Cameron stared at her in blank dismay as she asked,"Are you talking to me?"
22593turned toward me and asked, with anxious haste:''_ Where''s Garland?_''''I am here,''I answered.
36312''Hath she brought the book to you( the accusing girls)?'' 36312 ''How can you say you know nothing, when you see these tormented and accuse you?''
36312''Is this folly to see these so hurt?'' 36312 ''Of what sin?''
36312''Sarah Good, do you not see now what you have done? 36312 ''Sarah Good, what evil spirit have you familiarity with?''
36312''Well, sir, would you have me confess what I never knew?'' 36312 ''What did you think of the actions of others before your sisters came out?
36312''What do you say to this?'' 36312 ''What do you say; are you guilty?''
36312''What do you think ails them?'' 36312 ''What have you done to these children?''
36312''What_ creature_ do you employ, then?'' 36312 ''Why did you go away muttering from Mr. Parris''s house?''
36312''Why, do you not think it is witchcraft?'' 36312 Can you not,"we asked,"find him through her?"
36312How did you afflict folks? 36312 I do not hurt poor children?
36312O, star- eyedFancy,"hast thou wandered there, To waft us back the message of"--_credulity_?
36312Sarah Good being then asked, if that_ she_ did not hurt them, who did it? 36312 She_ pretended_ that the evil[?]
36312TheWhy have you done it?"
36312Were you to serve the devil ten years? 36312 What does she eat or drink?"
36312Who is it then?
36312Who made you a witch? 36312 Why did you say the magistrates''and ministers''eyes were blinded,"and"you would open them?
36312Why did you say you would show us? 36312 Why make an alternative?
36312_ Q._ At first beginning with them, what then appeared to you? 36312 _ Q._ But what did they say unto you?
36312_ Q._ Did he ask you no more but the first time to serve him? 36312 _ Q._ Did you ever go with these women?
36312_ Q._ Did you go with the company? 36312 _ Q._ Did you never practice witchcraft in your own country?
36312_ Q._ Did you see them do it now while you are examining( being examined)? 36312 _ Q._ Do you never see something appear in some shape?
36312_ Q._ Elizabeth Hubbard, who hurts you? 36312 _ Q._ How long since you began to pinch Mr. Parris''s children?
36312_ Q._ Is that the same man that appeared before to you, that appeared last night and told you this? 36312 _ Q._ Susan Sheldon, who hurts you?
36312_ Q._ Tell us true; how many women do you use to come when you ride abroad? 36312 _ Q._ What appearance, or how doth he appear when he hurts them?"
36312_ Q._ What clothes doth the man appear unto you in? 36312 _ Q._ What did he say you must do more?
36312_ Q._ What do you say to this you are charged with? 36312 _ Q._ What familiarity have you with the devil, or what is it that you converse withal?
36312_ Q._ What hath Osburn got to go with her? 36312 _ Q._ What made you hold your arm when you were searched?
36312_ Q._ What other creatures have you seen? 36312 _ Q._ What other likenesses besides a man hath appeared unto you?
36312_ Q._ What? 36312 _ Q._ When did he say you must meet together?
36312_ Q._ Who was that appeared to Hubbard as she was going from Proctor''s? 36312 _ Q._ With what shape, or what is_ he_ like that hurts them?
36312_ Q._ Would they have had you hurt the children last night? 36312 _ Q._''What did it propound to you?''
36312_ Q._''What lying spirit is this? 36312 _ Q._''What lying spirit was it, then?''
36312_ Tituba, the Indian woman, examined March 1, 1692.__ Q._ Why do you hurt these poor children?
36312''Are you certain this is the woman?''
36312''Are you not willing to tell the truth?''
36312''Do you think they are bewitched?''
36312''Doth this woman hurt you?''
36312''Have you made no contract with the devil?''
36312''Have you made no contract with the devil?''
36312''How came they thus tormented?''
36312''How comes your appearance just now to hurt these?''
36312''How do I know?''
36312''Then,''said I,''how can all these things be done by him?''
36312''What God do you serve?''
36312''What commandment is it?''
36312''What do you laugh at?''
36312''What is it you say when you go muttering away from persons''houses?''
36312''What psalm?''
36312''Who do you employ, then, to do it?''
36312''Who do you employ, then?''
36312''Who do you serve?''
36312''Who do you think is their master?''
36312''Who was it, then, that tormented the children?''
36312''Why do you hurt these children?''
36312''Why, who was it?''

36312:"What does she eat or drink?
36312A trifle, was that?
36312And especially who"improved her tongue to express what was never in her mind"?
36312And how was it with the others?
36312And what is involved in that?
36312And when was he first seen?
36312And which boy did he see?
36312And who was_ the black man_?

36312But is there probability either that he dictated any part of her testimony, or that she fabricated anything?
36312But seemingly the court could not wait for an answer, because, in the same breath, it asked, What did your visitant tell you?
36312But the magistrate seemingly doubted its truth or its sufficiency, for he next asked,--"_ Q._ Why have you done it?
36312But the_ cui bono_, the what good?
36312But what did her master require her to"stand to"?
36312But what did she say by way of confessing or accusing?
36312But which, among the human faculties, did that delusion spell- bind, stultify, and make sanguinary?
36312But who was genuine author of playful proceedings at a time when the business was so grave and solemn?
36312But why she?
36312But why to Thomas Putnam''s?
36312But with what eyes?
36312By whom was it seen?
36312Can any one doubt that she conceived herself to be speaking to the same being, though in dog form, that she had yielded to before in form like a man?
36312Can reflection find her competent to all that was ascribed to her?
36312Community called such matters witchcrafts, and why should not these children do the same?
36312Confessed to what?
36312Could Ann Foster''s gray- haired man have been Tituba''s white- haired visitant-- the originator and enactor of Salem witchcraft?
36312Could firm, true men, holding then prevalent beliefs, have done less?
36312Dadie thought I spoke, and said,''What''m?''
36312Did he believe that_ demons_ acted within her, held her back, and made her something like three times heavier than she normally was?
36312Did he offer you any paper?
36312Did he say you must write anything?
36312Did he see, hear, and feel all that he testifies to?
36312Did he tell you who they were?
36312Did such observable effects occur as Mather described?
36312Did supernal prescience select and post agents peculiarly fitted to perform the witchcraft tragedy?
36312Did the historian himself who quoted those words and let them appear to be accurately descriptive of facts, believe that they were such?
36312Did they, or did other agencies, produce the mysterious disorders which seemed to devil- dreading beholders like diabolical obsessions?
36312Did you think it was witchcraft?''
36312Do such feats bespeak their origin in_ delirium tremens_?
36312Do you get those cats, or other things, to do it for you?
36312Does he believe that such things were actually performed either by or through her?
36312Does he believe that such were the literal facts even in appearance?
36312Does the hugeness which debars them from entering contracted domiciles to- day prove their existence to be but fabulous?

36312Elizabeth Knap''s visitant-- the one to whom she said,"What cheer, old man?"
36312Especially do they ever spontaneously avow that the devil or any_ evil spirit_ is helping them?

36312For,--"_ Q._ What did you say to him, then, after that?
36312From whom came the things put forth through her which"she knew nothing of"?
36312From whom came the tones, if not the words, of languages which this possessed girl had never learned?
36312Had he met Tituba?
36312Had it less sagacity than his own?
36312Had she divulged her knowledge, what heed would have been given to the word of the ignorant slave?
36312Had she made a_ covenant_ with the devil, or any devotee of his?
36312Has he left record of a series of facts, or only of fictions which he set forth as facts?
36312Has the Great Permitter of the many sufferings which war has engendered been"shockingly wicked"?
36312Hath the devil ever deceived you and been false to you?''
36312He said,''Miss Perkins, can I go out and see who''s there?''
36312He was stating facts, which, in his apprehension, were harmless, and why should he not let them out?
36312Her patients promiscuously?
36312His only question was, did the thing occur?
36312How can the occurrence of such facts be explained, or rather_ who_ produced them?
36312How could he?
36312How did the historian account for such-- for those seeming"more than natural"?
36312How did you set your hand to it?
36312How else can thought inhere?"
36312How far have you complied with Satan whereby he takes this advantage of you?''
36312How far up, down, around, do natural forces and agents extend and operate?
36312How much beneficence did one then need to perform before public sentiment, would reprobate its author?
36312How much did this import?
36312How old are you now?
36312How_ know_ that she or her case was the then all- engrossing topic?
36312How_ know_ that their manner was expressive of any particular topic of conversation?
36312Hutchinson says,"The most remarkable occurrence in the colony in the year 1655[ 1656?]
36312Hutchinson states that Mr. Dane himself"is_ tenderly_ touched in several of the examinations, which"( the tenderness?)
36312I presently asked her, what letter?
36312I said to him,''Can you say your lesson?''
36312If he resembled an Indian, is not the inference very fair that he was an Indian?
36312If there be a fixed limit to nature''s domain, where is it?
36312If we presume( and why may we not?)
36312If_ entranced_, was the girl, then, a voluntary seer and speaker?
36312Indeed, how can any other than perverted vision see harm in the girl''s filial compact?
36312Indeed, who among men could possibly have taught or helped her to prophesy correctly, to hear the far distant, or to embody a spirit child?
36312Is crabbed temper there?
36312Is ignorance of, or is knowledge of, nature''s forces and inhabitants the greater blessing?
36312Is it possible that the mind of man should be capable of such strong prejudices as that a suspicion of fraud should not immediately arise?
36312Is she a witch or a cunning woman?
36312Is slander there?
36312Is that idea conveyed in calling her a successful practitioner?
36312Is there only one kind of mental power throughout the whole animal kingdom, differing only in intensity and range of manifestation?
36312Is this the woman?''
36312Little Sarah was asked,--"How long have you been a witch?

36312Modern wisdom(?)
36312Most seriously we ask whether forces which can be and have been measured by palpable scales, are"beyond the legitimate boundaries of human knowledge?"
36312Mrs. Morse''s possession of their secret was so unaccountable that the husband in astonishment asked,"Is she a witch or a cunning woman?"
36312My husband presently said, What?
36312Now, then, there are some persons_ so constituted_ that they perceive these shadows(?)
36312On that Wednesday night"Abigail first became ill.""_ Q._ Where was your master then?
36312Or the second time?
36312Perhaps he did; and yet on what rational grounds could he?
