1. That the force which produces physical phenomena proceeds _from_ (consequently is generated _in_) the medium. 2. That the intelligence directing the force for the production of the {196} phenomena (_a_) _may_ sometimes be other than the intelligence of the medium; but of this the “proof” is “insufficient;” therefore, (_b_) the directing intelligence is probably that of the medium himself. This Mr. Cox calls “a reasonable conclusion.” 3. He assumes that the force which moves the table is identical with the force which moves the medium’s body itself. 4. He strongly disputes the spiritualistic theory, or rather assertion, that “spirits of the dead are the _sole_ agents in the production of _all_ the phenomena.” Before we fairly proceed on our analysis of such views we must remind the reader that we find ourselves placed between two extreme opposites represented by two parties—the believers and unbelievers in this agency of human spirits. Neither seem capable of deciding the point raised by Mr. Cox; for while the spiritualists are so omnivorous in their credulity as to believe every sound and movement in a _circle_ to be produced by _disembodied_ human beings, their antagonists dogmatically deny that anything can be produced by “spirits,” for there are none. Hence, neither class is in a position to examine the subject without bias. If they consider that force which “produces motion within the body” and the one “which causes the motion beyond the limits of the body” to be of _the same essence_, they may be right. But the identity of these two forces stops here. The life-principle which animates Mr. Cox’s body is of the same nature as that of his medium; nevertheless he is not the medium, nor is the latter Mr. Cox.
