SPIRITUALISM AND THE POLICE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS, Sir,—Seeing that you have given us such a good innings, I resist the temptation to delay the closing of this discussion till I compose a lengthy and artistic ending. "A. Wasp"* is one that calls for attention, as he has jettisoned much “religio” deck cargo that still hampers so many who cling to “It is written” tenets, expecting them to land them on high thrones from where they will be able to chortle at the discomforts of the rest of us. I was surprised to see Mr Sercombe writing in the strain he did, as I know him personally for the Good Samaritan that he is; and not the absurd saint that he exnects to be. I would like to tell “A. Wasp” that he rnav carry on privately with me here, Ward 2, when I may be able to deal with some of his queries, though I do not exnect much success, where Lodge and Doyle have failed. However. this discussion has been well worthwhile, outlining as it has done two or throe lines of thought—a feature this page caters very effectively for; as you take the trouble to refer our letters to fountain heads, to get the best opinion on them.—Yours, etc., PETER TROLOVE.

December 22, 1936. [This correspondence is now closed.— Ed., “The Press.”]
