Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Verdict: A Study of the Probable Origin of Certain Physic Phenomena Together With a Record of Very Striking Personal Experiences

There has been during the last thirty years or so a steady growth of 'public attention to what are called Psychic Phenomena, meaning chiefly the phenomena reputed Spiritualistic. During the last five years, this attention has very greatly increased. The reason for the present intense interest in these matters is unhappily not far to seek.

On the one hand, atheism is practically a thing of the past, pure materialism is fast 'dying out, even among scientists, and passive agnosticism is being replaced among thoughtful people by a tendency to reconstruct their philosophy upon theistic lines. Nevertheless inability to accept the teachings of Christianity, as the solution of the Riddle of the Universe, is slowly but steadily increasing. All this makes people willing and anxious to believe in a future state of existence, but the more determined to build no assured hopes upon it without definite scientific proof.
