numerous ; in a word, the result was far more than merely satisfactory to her, while
gratifying, convincing, and happy to her sitters, on every occasion for which appointments
and arrangements had been made.
" The manifestations were sometimes by night and as often by day—in full light :
forms were occasionally visible, messages were written in Russian, both by the hand of
Mrs. Jencken and in direct writing. Several names were communicated of persons
' gone before.' The raps on the table, floor and walls were even more than usually loud
and strong : lights were seen in various parts of the room : a small bell was rung
repeatedly in various parts of it : palpable touchings were numerous, with clear
evidence as to the identity of the touchers : in short, all the usual phenomena familar
to advanced Spiritualists, were communicated to the sitters—such evidence being fully
and entrely accepted by several of the most learned professors of the Russian capital.
And, although there does not seem to have been any marked or peculiar manifestations.

the result was eminently and entirely satisfactory, confirming the very general belief in
Spiritualism that prevails in the great city of Northern Europe : the acceptance of
Spiritualism as a solemn, impressive, and happy truth. . . . . "
To the Lord of the Harvest whose work Spiritualism is, in Russia, as in
every other country, we may confidently commit the results of all that has
been said, and done, and striven for, by ministering angels both on earth,
and in heaven; in God's time, if not in man's, the seeds sown by the
hands of His faithful labourers will bring forth all the fruit which His
divine wisdom deems necessary for the sustenance of His children in the
land of the North, as in all other climes and nationalities.

SCANDINAVIAN FRAGMENTS OF MODERN SPIRITUALISM.

Were this work devoted to the record of ancient Spiritual beliefs and
manifestations, it would be found that no portion of the earth affords richer
fields of observation than the northern lands included under the generic
term of Scandinavia.
