DENNIS BRADLEY

TO THE EDITOB or TEIE FHESS. Sir,—l want to reproach "The Press" for having kept silent about the death of Dennis Bradley. I and many others had to go to the pages of another paper to clip what wc wanted. I do not think it is necessary to tell you that Dennis Bradley made a peculiar niche for himself in the literary world, long before he "lapsed into spiritualism," as many good people would phrase it. The story of his conversion, graphically told by himself, rivals that of St. Paul on the road to Damascus—it was as sudden. Both Bradley and Doyle suffered financially from switching their pens on to spiritualism. Bradley was a genius in a peculiar form of advertising. He had the knack of writing advertisements that were readily read relating to his business. He carried this trait into his flair for spiritualism, and he was responsible for bringing the cult under the notice of large numbers of leaders of thought in England and elsewhere. No man has packed so much spiritual phenomena and personal experiences in the space of five years as Dennis Bradley did. It is interesting to read that his son is able to testify—"l feel that lam much closer to mv father to-day than when he died three weeks ago."—Yours, etc., PETER TROLOVE. January 30, 1935.
