Ghosts
"For the past generation," says Dr. Worcester in his Preface, "men have
been groping for a theology which should approach the old mysteries,
God, evil, the soul and immortality from the point of view of modern
scientific and philosophic thought. The old static aspect of the
universe has been supplemented by the dynamic. The old transcendent
conception of God has yielded to the immanent. The thought of God as
mere ruler and judge is no longer sufficient for men's religious needs.
Science has discovered God at work, and religion also craves a spiritual
and an active Deity who works through laws and through us."

"A singularly well balanced judgment is needed to succeed in the task
set for himself by Mr. H. Addington Bruce in his discussion of men's
latent powers. But he has distinctly proved that he is possessed of that
rare gift.... The book is one of great value and written in a style that
will bring enlightenment to many readers."--_The Outlook._
"A volume of genuine value and one that will be read with profit by those
who are interested in and have followed the arguments and experiments of
curious delvers into the mysteries of the human mind. It is a clear,
logical and impartial presentation of the whole subject from a
scientific point of view, in which is set forth all that can be absolutely
classed as fact regarding the latent faculties of man, revealed
by study, accident, personal observation and experiment."--_Boston
Evening Transcript._
