"Frauds, Freaks and Fiends"
In these three expressive words, forming a phrase in which any "sensational" journalist might justly take pride, Father Bernard anglian sums up his opinion upon a fashionable doctrine of the day known as disfiguring and demoralizing; beautiful word. Father Vaughan's denunciation occurs in the course of a preface contributed to a volume by Mr, Elliot O'Donnell—"The Me of Spiritualism"—published by Messrs, T. Werner Laurie & Ca., Ld. Both Father Vaughan end the author insist that the cult of spiritualism is physieally and morally dangerous and destructive, and quite—justifiable stress is laid upon the commonplace nature of revelations from "'the other side." most of which "ravelations"~ oscillate between irrelevant commonplaces and sheer imbecility.
