THE SPIRIT-SEEKER NONE of us need lackKnowledge of the life to come,If we are contentTo seek the lightIn the pages of booksThat record The rappings and the tappingsAnd all the otherMysterious outbreaksRevealed at spiritualistic seancesOr psychical on thisAnd kindred subjectsAre coming profuselyFrom the pressThat he who runs may read,But not necessarilyThat he who readsMust believe. 45 THE SNAP THE-CURTAIN FIEND COMFORTABLY seatedNext the windowAs he journeysTo and fro by train,He is not contentTo raise The curtain , when he desiresMore light to penetrateHis mental crevices,He pulls it sharply up,And with a bangJolts the nervesOf all not hardenedLike his own. 46 THE CONFERER WHEN you goTo call uponA man of great importance,You may be toldQuite simplyThat he is engagedAnd that he willSee you In a few if he isA man of small calibreYou are certainTo be informedThat he is in conference And cannot be disturbed. 47 JOHN DRI
