Action Against Clergy
By A Correspondent
The Church of England plans war on Spiritualism.

Then the Church decided on more drastic action. Under the Archbishop of Canterbury's Commission a com- mittee was appointed to go into the whole Spiritualist movement.
The president of this committee, which included a number of high Church dignitaries and two women, 'was the Bishop of Rochester.

"Even those who practise I admit Its dangers, and further admit that it is possible to get into contact with evil spirits who can do nothing but

"We believe that the mediums, consciously or unconsciously, read the thoughts of the people who come to them, and that this is the explant- tion of the revelations which appear | to come from the other world."
