The question has often been asked: "What was the purpose of so strange a
movement [Spiritualism] at this particular time, granting that it is all that it claims
to be?" Governor Tallmadge, a United States Senator of repute, was one
of the early converts to the new cult, and he has left it upon record
that he asked this question upon two separate occasions in two different
years from different mediums. The answer in each case was almost
identical. The first said: "It is to draw mankind together in harmony
and to convince sceptics of the immortality of the soul." The second
said: "To unite mankind and to convince sceptics of the immortality of
the soul."
