Our day in the light of prophecy and providence . nd courted the fullest investigation as to the allegedmanifestations from the spirit world.* As the result of hisobservations, he wrote: Whatever may be the origin or the cause of the rappings, the ladiesin whose presence they occur do not make them, We tested this thor-oughly and to our entire satisfaction.—Id., pp 160, 161.
