One rap " _No_.
Two raps " _neither Yes nor No_, but variously, according
to the nature of the question, as: _not now, not yet, not quite, don't
know_, and the like.
Five raps signifying _Alphabet_--The Alphabet is never responded to,
except when the signal for it has been given by the Spirit. Hence,
to save time, it is never called, unless the signal has been heard.
Continuous light raps indicate _an error_ in the answer just given.
They annul the signal previously made, and the question should be
repeated.
Continuous loud raps indicate _want of Harmony_ in the Circle, and
may generally be taken as a reproof in consequence of some violation
of the Rules of Order.
_Admission One Dollar._
Hours: From 3 to 5 P.M., and 8 to 10 in the evening; except
Wednesday and Saturday evenings, and Saturday afternoons, which are
reserved for private parties.
The mornings of each day are also appropriated to private parties,
the terms for which are five dollars for each hour, and for which
arrangements can be made by application to Mrs. Brown.
[Hand Symbol] No visitors will be received on Sundays.

We received a great deal of money. There were occasional days when my
maid, the good and faithful Susie, would make returns of a hundred
dollars as the day's receipts; but it was as freely spent as given. We,
none of us, have ever been accused of the spirit of hoarding; nor had
Mammon any temple in the home or in the hearts of any of us, though
Charity had; and that, I think, is one of the frequent though not
invariable fruits of Spiritualism and intercourse with Spirits,
observable in human character and life. Money, and selfishness in all
its forms, are apt to shrink into small dimensions of value in the minds
of persons who communicate much with those of the next life, and who
thus come to know and realize, as a certainty, the truth of _that next
life_.
