Professor N.--"Did you tell Hodgson this?" G. P.--"I do not think so." At the sitting on the next day, Professor Newbold returns to the charge. "Can you bring Stainton Moses here?" G. P.--"I will do my best." Professor N.--"Is he far advanced?" G. P.--"Oh, no, I should say not. He will have to think for a while yet." Professor N.--"What do you mean?" G. P.--"Well, have you forgotten all I told you before?" Professor N.--"You mean about progression by repentance?" G. P.--"Certainly I do." Professor N.--"Was not he good?" G. P.--"Yes, but not perfect by any means." Professor N.--"Was he a true medium?" G. P.--"True, yes, very true; his 'light' was very true, yet he made a great many mistakes and deceived himself." Phinuit, sent to find Stainton Moses, ends by bringing him. George Pelham warns the sitter against the confusions and incoherences of Stainton Moses's communications. "When he arrives," says George Pelham, "I will wake him up." Professor N.--"Is he asleep?" G. P.--"Oh, Billie, you are stupid, I fear, at times. I do not mean wake him up in a material sense." Professor N.--"Nor did I." G. P.--"Well, then, old man, don't be wasting light." Professor N.--"I'm not wasting light, but I am obliged to find out what you mean." G. P.--"Well, this is what I wish also." Professor N.--"Stainton Moses has been nearly three years in the spirit.... Do you mean to say that he is not yet free from confusion?" These explanatory passages would be of great value if we were sure that we were not dealing with a secondary personality of Mrs Piper. Later still, George Pelham returns to the probable mental confusion of Stainton Moses, and to the necessity for taking certain precautions in order to obtain clear communications. He was quite right. These sittings, in which Stainton Moses was the self-styled communicator, are exactly those which make the spiritualist hypothesis most difficult to accept. All the exact information given existed already in the minds of those present; all the rest was untrue. Stainton Moses had an excellent chance of proving his identity. We have said that he had written down the real names of his "spirit-guides" or "controls" in one of his note-books. At the time these sittings were taking place in America, Frederic Myers, in England, was studying these note-books in order to publish so much of them as he thought fit. He knew these names, but I believe he was the only person in the world who knew them. Stainton Moses was told, "Give us the names of your spirit-guides; it will be a splendid proof. Mr Myers knows them, but we do not. We will send them to him, and if they are correct we shall no longer be able to have a reasonable doubt of your identity." The self-styled Stainton Moses seemed perfectly to understand what was asked of him; he gave the names, and every one of them was wrong.
