60A.: “Jas, the same as Hyslop.”(I said ; “I think his name was Thomas Jay Hudson.”) “No, you are wrong ; my name wasnot Thomas. Go and look at your front door. Open it, and let the other fellow in. Open it wideand alone.”(Mrs. Georgia went to the front door, opened it wide, and remained a minute or two ; thenclosed it, and returned to the drawing-room.)“My name was Thomson Jay Hudson. Don’t copy yet. I went out of the back door, andmust come in at the front. I went out to get fresh strength.“James Hyslop is carrying on my work where I left off ; that is why I said Jas. Was myname, as it is in a sense. I am with him ; some day he will hear of me through this girl’s hand.”(Correct) “I will help him. You may copy now.”(I said : “He has been writing for one and a half hours.”)“That makes no difference ; I can’t come very often, so I want to stay.”(Mrs. Georgia said ; “I do think he might have said something more complimentary of methan that I had a ‘full countenance.’”)“You need not feel that ; you have charm, and that is enough.”(A discussion took place about knocks in the room, three having just occurred. I said Icould not get them to respond intelligently.)“You can if you wish. You can bend the intelligence that comes to you. You can bend apersonal intelligence to your will, by moulding it as you do here by dominating it.”(Mrs. Georgia’s mother here said : “I wish to know the condition of suicides in the nextlife.”)“Drop out all such suicide talk.”“I wrote a book on the force of mental healing ; that is my last book.” (Correct.)“Perhaps you had better tell me the name of the book you mean, as you confuse me.”(I said, “It was Proofs of immortality.”)“Go to the front door ; let me think there.”(Mrs. Georgia went to the front door for a few minutes, and then returned to her seat.)“You don’t mean my last work ; you mean a book called “The Scientific Demonstration of a FutureLife.”(This is correct, and I regretted having forgotten the proper name ; but as I have saidbefore, I knew scarcely anything of Hudson. I now mentioned that we had sat for nearly twohours.)“I can easily stay till then—I mean till 10.30.”Q.: But this is rather frivolous, making the medium run constantly to the front door.“I get strength of force out of doors ; I like to come. I must take the girl to the air, so Idon’t overtire her. She is very young to me, as I am an old man. I was born in 1834. (Correct.)Is not that a great difference in our ages ? I was fifty-nine years old when I died.”(I said : “That must be wrong ; he was sixty-nine.”)“The gentleman is right ; I was born in 1834. Let me say fifty-nine. Is a woman the onlyone to dodge their age ?”Q.: “Did you know I was coming to see Mrs. Georgia ?”A.: “I knew that someone would come that would have the interest and vitality to call me. Ihave hung around this girl’s front door for two years. None came strong enough to call out the‘Open Sesame.’”Q.: “Are people living in pairs of male and female in spirit life ?”A.: “Like a school of fish. The congenial flock together. Yes, they do.”Q.: “You misunderstand me. I mean, supposing two people are joined here, can they live inclose union there ?"A.: “By all means, if the soul is twin. Two people may be joined by a mummer in a church,and be as wide apart as the antipodes.”Q.: “But many worthy people here imagine that, in a future life, the high ideal should beuniversal, equal affection all round ?”
