SPIRITUALISM
NO LIGHT FOR HUMANITY
DR. HOLLANDER'S VIEWS
LONDON, 4th December.
That the so-called spiritualistic manifestations at present the centre of controversy as an outcome of Schneider's seances were in effect tlic workings of man's sub-conscious mind is argued by Bernard Hollander. "When a man was murdered and the culprit not found, why does not the victim's ghost appear and give information to the mourning relatives? If there are spirits and there is any love for humanity in the other world, their manifestations should not require the- intervention of uneducated professional mediums, together with their commonplace interpretations." Dr. Hollander declared that there was not a single message received which could throw any light on any of the great problems affecting humanity.
Dr. Hollander, who is a specialist in mental and nervous diseases, has made a special study of mind and character, and their deviations from the normal. Ho published his first investigation into the fundamental psychical functions and their localisation in the brain in 1889, and has since contributed a vast number of papers to the proceedings of learned societies.
