Subliminal" in a word composed of ; tlit Iatiu word niili".iiifniiiiiK"iiiilT" ami 'liinfii" moiinin'4 'threshold. ' It ineaiiH, therefore, strictly, innler tin threshold."

Wit hiii a coinpnra lively recent period the fact liaH become established of a nu n-, lal duality that there is conscious j mind and a Kubconsciou iniad and it is , to the jHycholoicaI phenomena of the ulcnnHciot)H, or subliminal mind that I will nsk your attention this evening. Through all ages, certain mysterious phenomena have caused wonder and per plexity to men such ait apparitions or ; ghoHt, the warnings, prt-monit ion.- and disclosure received in dream the pow- ' r of certain individual to see and de scribe things that were beyond thepiiVH- J icnl vision of the relator the accurate ! progiioHticntioiin of set r and prophets, the miraculous; he.V r of the sick, the reputed nianifcsta 1. 1 of diHcarnate HpiritH hy a systei.. t rapping, table tipping and other manifestations, the wonders of planch -t te, invisible sl.itc- riling, crystal gazing, etc. I 'or a long time the world of science looked askance or with cohl disdain upon all ti:ene phenomena discrediting their reality, and regarding them as Ta bles, and hallucination-;. I'.nt as the ma infestations increased in volume ;nnl the testimony of ni'ii o eii-': an 1 un doubted veracity was adiii 1. and par ticularly after the development oi the cult of spirit ualism. the scientific world felt obliged to study closely such phe nomena, and t o st rive to discover how much was re;il!v true and how much was false. Accordingly, a number of men in the ! .. n.. . .r r...: ........... ...,..-...1 ' lllliesi iiivM in ri i i h i nrir oiwt-n i., organize in l Nj.the Society for Psycho logical Research. The li is t President of the Society was the late Professor Henry Hdgvick. the very eminent logician of ('a in bridge I niversity, I'ngland. Among the Vice-presidents, were Mr. Arthur llall'oiir. now I'rime Ministerof I'ngland. Mr. liichard II. Huttoii. editor of the Loudon Sift-t.uttir. Mr. Ilensleigh j Wedgi-wnod. the brother-in-law of ('has. j I'arwin. Among other distinguished litemberri were the late I'. V. II. My ers. one of t he ul.lest of la t ter day in ves- I 1 I j il"aj Slir Villi;ilii I 'r 11 it.' 1S tin illlf-ll- ! tor of the t 'rookes I ube used in X ray work, Ir. Kichard IlodgHon, the present secretary of the Society's American ('ranch. I'rof. William .lames, of Har vard I niversity, the late I'rof. S. I'. Lnngley of the Smithsonian Institute. Washington. I. ('., Lord Italeigh. the .Marijuis of i'.iite, the I'.ishop of Kipou. and I'rof. Max lesnir of the I niversity of I'.erlili. The object of the Society is explained ill the following language: ' It has been widely felt that the pres ent is an opportune time fur making an organized and systematic attempt to in vestigate that large group of del table phenomena designated by sucli terms as mesmeric, psychical and spiritualistic. "1'roin the recorded testimony of many competent witnesses, past anil present, including observation-? recently made by scientific men of eminence in various conn t rieH. t here appears to be, amidst much illusion and deception, an impor tant body of remarkable phenomena, which are prima facie inexplicable on any recognized hypothesis, and which, if in contestably established, would lie of the highest value." The special subjects of investigation are stated as follows: "1st. An examination of the nature and extent of an y influence which may be exerted by one mind upon another, apart from any generally recognized mode of perception. ''nd. The study of hypnotism and the forms of so-called mesmeric trance, with its alleged insensibility to pain: clairvoyance, and other allied phenome na. !rd. " careful investigation of any j reports rest mg on st rung testimony re sardine; apparitions at the moment of death or otherwise, or regarding the dis turbances in houses reputed to be hun.it ed. till. "An inquiry into tie' various psychical phenomena commonly called Spiritualism: with an attempt todiscov er their cause and general laws. .""th. "The collect ion a nd collation of existing materials bearing on thehistory of these subjects." As the result of the investigations of this Society, which have embraced an immense mass of testimony, there be came clearly delined the fact of the dual ity of the human mind, the conscious, and the subconscious elements. Hudson gives the following dassilica tiou in his book entitled. The Law of Psychic Phenomena: "The conscious mind takes cognizance of the 'objective world. Its media of observation, are the liv physical senses. It is the out growth of man's physical necessities. It is his guide in his struggle with his ma terial environment. Its highest function is that of reasoning. " The subconscious, or subliminal mind takes cognizance of its environment by means indeHndcut of the physical senses. 1 1 perceives by intuition. It is the seat of the emotions, and the store-house of memory. It performs its highest func tions when 1 lie objective senses are in abeyance. It is that intelligence which is spirially manifested in the hypnotic subject, w hen in a state of somnambu lism. "In this state many of t lie most won derful feats of the subconscious mind are erformed. It sees without the use of the natural organs of vision: and in this as in many other grades or degrees of the hypnotic state it can be madeappar ently to leave the body and travel todis tant lauds, and bring back intelligence, oftiines of tl;e most exact and truthful character. It also has the power to read the thoughts of others, even to the minutest detail: to read the contents of sealed envelopes and of closed books. In short, it is the subliminal mind that pos sesses what is popularly designated as clairvoyant power, and the ability to apprehend the thoughts of others with out the aid of the ordinary, objective means of communication. "I a point of fact." continues Hudson, "that which for convenience. 1 have chosen to designate as the subconscious mind, appears to W a separate and dis tinct entity; and the real distinctive dif ference letween the two minds, seems to consist in the fact that the conscious mind is merely the function of the phys ical brain, while the sulrconscious mind is a distinct entity, possessing independ ent powers nnd functions, having a men tal organization of its own. and Wing capable of sustaining an existence inde londently of the body. In other words it is the soul." 1 will nowgive some exam pies recorded of the phenomena of the subconscious mind, or subliminal self. One of the striking properties of the subconscious inind, is its pt-rfrrt nn'iiinry. Coleridge, in his Itiographia Literaria, gives the following interesting case: "A young woman of four or live and twenty, who could neither read nor write, was seized with a neri cus fever, during which according to the iwserver atioiiB of those around her, she became possessed, as it appeared of a very learn ed devil. She continued incessantly talk ing Iatin, tireek. ami Hebrew in very pompous tones, and with most distinct enunciation. Voltaire, humorously ad vises the devil to decline all acquaint ance with medical men; and it would have been more to his reputatiou. if he had taken the advice in tlie present in stance. The case had attracted the at tention of a young physician, and by his statement, many eminent physiologists visited the town and examined the case on the r.pot. Sheets full of her ravings wen-taken down from her own mouth, and were found to consist of sentences coherent and intelligible each for itself, but with little or no connection with each other. 'fth Hebrew, a small portion only could be traced to the J'ibh-. the remain der seemed to be iii t he Itabbinical dialect AM trick or conspiracy was out of the question. Not only had the young wo man been ever a harmless, simple crea ture, but she was evidently laboring un der a nervous fever. On tracing care fully the young girl's past life, the young physician found that when she was nine years old she had been charitably taken by an old pastor and had remained with him some years till the old man's death. On inquiry into the pastor's habits, it appeared that it had been the old man's custom for years, to walk up and down a passage of his house, into which the kitchen door opened and to read to him self w ith a loud voice, out of his favorite books. Among these books were found a collection of Itabbinical writings to gether with several of the ' reek and Latin fathers: and the physician succeed -ed in identifying r-o many passages with those taken down at theyoung woman's bedside, that no doubt could remain in any rational mind concerning the true origin of t In' 'uhprc.-.-ion on her nervous system. "The impi i ssii in on t he gil l's conscious mind in e t have been superficial and Meeting to the last degree, but the result demonstrated that the record upon the tablet of t he subconscious mind was in effaceable.'" In this connection we are reminded too that it is a common assertion of those who have come near drowning, that just previous to niicoiit-ciousness, all the acts of t heir lives Hashed in memory before them The conscious mind, is the materialis tic niind.it accepts no conclusions or suggestions which are not based on rea son, positive knowledge, or the evidence afforded by the live senses. The subliminal mind on the coat rary. is unqualifiedly and constantly amenable to the power of suggestion: and this, at a very early period, long before the con scious mind becomes intelligently active. There is in fact little question that even prenatal influences are indelibly stamped upon the subliminal mind, forming marked characteristics both of the mental and bodily make-up of the human being to be nshed into the world. Character, in fact, is largely due to the thousands of suggestive influences of family and environment acting on the subliminal mind through all stages of man's development. How important, therefore, that this fact should be real ized and recognized in the training of children from earliest infancy upward. Lspecially in sleep and under hypnotic influences is the power of suggestion ac liveaud t he subconscious mind ready to accept w ithout question or doubt what ever sta'enient is made to it, no matter how absurd, or incongruous, or con t rary to the ordina.ryjexperience of the individ ual. If in hypnotic sleep a subject is told that there are butterflies in the room, and that he must catch them, he will see the suggested butterflies and make all the motions of striving to catch them: if handed a broomstick, and told that the broomstick is a lovely young lady, it will be to him the young lady ami he will be as polite and devoted to it as if it were the young lady suggested; he may be thrown into a state of intoxication by being caused to drink u glass of water under t he impression that it is a glass of whiskey, or he may be restored to sobri ety by the administration of brandy un der t he guise of all antidote to drunken ness, lie may be made to see. hear. feci, smell and taste anything in obedience to suggestion. Apart from hypnotism the subcon scious mind is particularly susceptible to suggestion during n.itur.il slrt'i. These suggestions are manifested in dreams. Much significance has in all times been a 1 1 ributed to dreams, and t he more primitive a nd savage the state of the pie, the more are their lives in fluenced by dreams. Hreaiu life to the savage, is a real life. In it the soul is supposed to leave the body, and t wan der at will. The New Zealanders. says Tyler in his Primitive Culture, considered t lie dream ing soul to leave the body ami hold con verse with its friends. The Tagals of Luzon. P. I., object to waking a sleeper, on account of the ab sence of his soul. The North American Indians, allowed themselves the alterna tive of supposing a dream to be a visit from the soul of the person or object dreamt of, or a sight seen by the ration al gone out for an excursion, while the sensitive soul remains in the body. Tothetireeks of old. the dream-soul was what to the modern savage, if still I is: isieep. loosing cares of niinil. tell on Achilles as he lay by the bounding sea. and there sto.ul over him the soul of Pa troculus. like to him altogether in stature, and the beauteous eyes and the voice, and the garments that wrapped his skin he spake, and Achilles stretch ed out to grasp him with loving hands, but caught him not: and like a sniokethe soul sped t w it tering below the earth." As time went on and the nature and causes of dreams became better known they lost much of the old time signifi cance. 1 'ream exciting influences may be intni-organic or extra-organic p.ut there are instances in which dreams can not be referred to either of these methods of causation, and which point to a causation that is supernormal. Such an one is the follow ing incident taken from the journal of the Society for Psychical Pese.uvh. The reporter" is a Mrs. Howieson. the experience hting her own. and involving a distance of I'OO miles between the percipient nnd thesup posed agent. The incident occurred in .lime. lss:!. She narrates as follows: "My eldest daughter Kathleen, then a child nearly five years old. was absent from home on a visit to my mother, w ho lived in New port. Monmouthshire. Kngland. "I'or some mouths previous to her leaving home, she had been in a weak, nervous state of health, but a a absence of three mouths in that charming coun ty wrought wonders for her. Aly niojlier wrote me from time to time, saying low well she could climb tV" hills, ami how her nervousness had given place to Joe. ous glee, as she watched from a hill-top. the ships sailing in sunlight up ami down the P.ristol Channel or the wonder ful fascinating sunset over Kit l'arliun. which now she even dreams of. "All my anxiety about her had vanish ed, as. with my little baby, three weeks old beside me. 1 was quietly sleeping, when suddenly I awaked, hcaritiir Knth- ; leen o.ll me in a sharp, terrified voice. .Mama, oli Mama. forgetting that the child was away. I sat up in lied and call ed to my nurse. To see. nurse, what ails Kathleen.' 'Why ma'am she said you have bet' a dreaming. Mire vou know she's in Newport." Thoroughly awake I laughed and lay down to sl.'vp. but just as I was dozing off again. ! was startled i ley Hearing the child's voice down the stairs from the next floor, where she slept wiien at nome. me same words. -Mama, oh Mama." "I simply screamed to the nute. -oh nurse. 1 have heard her again, and there U something wrong with the child." I trembW all over the thing was so real, and yet. so unlikely, that I allowed my self to be soothed and talked into silence. No sooner had nurse settled herself com fortably in bed. and I. broad awake, was lying wondering about it. when Kath leeus cry broke on my ears again, a scream. 'Mama, oh Mama, I've got the scarlet fever.' There was no more sleep for me that night. Mv husband tried to calm me in vain. When morning came, he telegraphed to Newport, arid t!Js is the sequel: ' The evening beh re. Kathleen com plained of headache going to bed. and after she went to bed. grew hot and fev erish, so much so. that my mother sat up with her hoping to see her go to sleep. All the night fil e kept saying, "I wish Mama was here. "I don't know whv I left my Mama.' But as the small hours of the evening drew on. she grew so ill, that my father fetched the doctor. n seeing her he said that it was just possible that she caught scarlet fever as it w as prevalent just tl tn IMrectly the child heard w hat he said, the w ild scream I had heard broke from her, in the very words. Mama, oh Mama. I've got scarlet fever," and nearly 2K) mih-s away they were flashed to my ea-s." Another instance is given, when not one but two persons have been percipients or receivers of dream intelligence. "A gentleman had a servant, Susan by name, w I o was taken to the hospital ill. It uas seven mih-s distant. Kuring Sat urday night, says the gentleman, the fol lowing mystery occurred which has been ever since a puzzle to myseh": P.eing asleep. 1 was awakened with or by a sud den feeling of terror. I stared through the darkness of the bedroom, but could not see anything, but felt overcome by an unnatural horror or dread, ami cov ered myself with the bed clothes, regular ly scared. My room door was in a nar row passage leading to my mother's room, and any one passing would almost touch the door. I passed the remaining portion of the night in restlessness. In the morning I met my mother coming down stairs and observed that she look ed ill and pale and unusually depressed. I asked. "What's the matter.' She re plied, Nothing; don't ask me.' An hour or two passed and I still saw something was amiss, and I felt determined to know the cause and my mother seemed equally bent on not satisfying ir.e. At last I said, lias it anything to do with Susan'." She burst in to tears and said, Wluit makes you ask that question'." I then told her my scare during the night and tdie related to me the following strange story: "I was awakened by the opening of my bedroom door, and I saw to my hor ror, Susan, enter in her night-dress. She cam? straight toward my bed. turned dow n the clothes, and laid herself beside me, and 1 felt a'cold chill all down my side where she seemed to touch me. f suppose I fainted, as I lost all recollection for some time, and when I came to my self the apparition had gone, but of one thing I am certain, and that is, that it w as not. a dream." We heard by the vil lage woman on her return Sunday even ing, that Susan died in the middle of the night, and that previous to her becom ing unconscious, her whole talk was obout returning to Troston Mall. "We had no apprehension whatever of her death. We thought she had gone to the hospital not because she was in danger, but for the sake of special treatment." These instances of dream apparitions, (and many more might be quoted), seem to indicate the power or the subliminal self on dying, to convey itself to persons and places to whom they were specially attached when in the body. 1 will next give instances of apparitions seen by persons a wake, and in full con sciousness: The first instance is that of Lord I'.rougham. who was thoroughly a a man of the world ami given to no su perstitious fears or hallucinations. Iii narrating the incident, he says: "We set out for (iothenburg. determin ed to make Norway. About one in the morning, arriving at a decent inn we de cided to stop for the night. Tired with the cold of yesterday 1 was glad to take advantage of a hot hath before 1 turned in and here a most remarkable thing happened so remarkable that I must tell the story from the beginning. "After I left the high school, I went with ( I. my first intimate friend to at tend classes in the I "niversity. There was no l'ivinity class, but we frequently in our walks, discussed and speculated upon many grave topics: among others, on the immortality of the soul, and on a future state. The question nnd the pos sibility. I will not say of ghosts walking, but of the dead appearing to the living, were subjects of much speculation, and weactually committed the folly of draw ing up an agreement written with our own blood, to the effect that whichever of us died the first, should appear to the other, and thus solve the doubts we had entertained of the life after death. After we iuul finished our classes at the college, (!. went to India, having got an appointment there in the civil service. He seldom wrote to me. and after a lapse of a, few y itrs I had almost forgotten him; moreover his family having little connection with I'dinburgh.l seldom saw or heard anything of them, so that all his school boy intimacy had died out and I had marly forgotten hisexistence. Iliad taken as I have said a warm bath, and while lying in it and enjoying the com fort of the heat after the late freezing 1 had undergone.! turned my head around toward the chair upon which I had de posited my clothes, as I was about to get out the bath. On I Itr clmir s;tt ('. linking cilnih lit tin'. How I got out of the bath I know not, but on recovering my senses I found myself sprawling on the floor. The apparition, or whatever it was that had taken the likeness of (i. had disappeared. Tlie apparition occur red on Pec. ll'th, 17'.'!'. ami soon after Lord I'.rougham arrived in Kdinburgh on his return, a letter arrived from India announcing the death of (!. on the date mentioned." I r. Weir Mitchell reports an interest ing case in tlie experience of his father" who was also a physician. His father had a patient in an Insane Asylum, who hail occasionally lucid intervals. One morning lh: Mitchell went to the Asylum to inform the patient of the death of his w ife during tlie night. As he came in sight at the patient the man cried out: "Vou need not tell ir.e my wife is dead. I know it: she was here last night and told me herself." Supposing that there was no foundation for this story. lr. Mitchell went to the manager of the Institution, and told him wlyit had been said and that gentleman confirmed it by saying that he had heard the man talking in the night and went to see what w as the matter when the patient at once re proached him for disturbing him. and for driving away his wife who, he said, was there and told him that she had just died." Pr. Minot Savage vouches for the fol lowing incident which he personally in vestigated: "In a neighboring city "were two little girls, Jennie and Kdi'th. one about eight years old and the other but a little older. They were schoolmates and intimate friends. In June, lssfi. both wvre taken ill of diptheria. t noon, Wednesday, June .".th. Jennie died. Then the parents of IMith and her physician as well, all took pains to keep from her the fact that her little playmate had died. They feared the effect of the knowledge on her own condition. To prove that they succeeded, and that she did not know, it may be mentioned that on Sat urday. June Sth. at noon, just before she became unconscious of all that was pass ing about her. she selected two of her photographs to be sent to Jeuuie. and also told her attendants to bid her good bye. She died at half-past six on the evening of Saturday. June Sth. ,he had aroused and bidden her friends good-bye, and vvu,a talking of dying and seemed to have no fear. She appeared to see one and another of her friends fchekcew - ere dead. So far it was like the common cases. Hut now, suddenly, and with every appearance of great "surprise, she turned to her father and exclaimed. W hy. 1'apa. w hy, Papa, you did not tell me that Jennie was here,' and immediate ly she reached out her arms as if in wel come, and said. 'Oh. Jennie, I am so glad you are here." " The next incidents to be given are to illustrate gome of the pheuomna of telep athy, i r the power to communicate thoughts to others indepcmientJv of ob jective means of communication. 'f he ex periments related are jriven in a work en titled "Phantasms of the Living." ' "One evening." the account runs, "1 resolved to appear to Z. at some miles i distant. I did not inform him beforehand 1 of the intended experiment, but retired to rest shortly before midnight, with my thoughts intently fixed on Z. with whose room and surroundings 1 was quite unacquainted. I soon fell asleep, and awoke next morning unconscious of anything having taken place. On seeing Z. a few days afterwards, I inquired. T)id anything happen at your room on Saturday night?" 'Yes.' replied he, 'a great deal happened. I had lieea sitting over the fire with M. smoking and chat ting. About 1'2:'-U he arose to leave, and I let hini out myself. I returned to the lire to finish my pipe, when 1 saw you sitting in the chair just occupied by him. I looked intently at you. and then took up a newspaper to assure myself that 1 was not dreaming; but on laying it down I saw you still there. While I gazed with out speaking you faded away." The percipient in this case was a well known writer who corroborates the account. Another incident is as follows: "On a certain Sunday evening in November, 1 NMl , having been reading of the great power which the human will is capable of exercising,! determined with the whole force of my being, that 1 would be pres ent in spirit in the front bedroom on the second floor of a house situated at '22 Hogarth I toad, Kensington, in which slept two ladies of my acquaintance, viz. Miss L. S. V. and Miss E. C. V. aged re spectively 2T and 11 years. I was living at this time about three miles from Ho garth ltoad; and I had not mentioned i:i any way my inteution of trying this ex periment to either of the above ladies, for the simple reason that it was only on re tiring to rest upon this Sunday night that 1 made up my mind to do so. The time at which I determined that 1 would be there was one o'clock in the morning; and I also had strong intention of mak ing luy presence perceptible. Mi the fol lowing Thursday 1 went to see the ladies ia question, and in he course of conver sation (without any allusion to the sub ject on my part ) tlie elder one told me that on the previous Sunday night she had been much terrified by seeing me standing by her bedside and that she screamed when the apparition advanced towards her, and awoke her little sister, who saw me also. " I asked her if she was .awake at the time, and she replied most decidedly in the affirmative; and upon my inquiring the time of the occurrence, she replied. 'About one o'clock in the morning." "This lady, at my request, wrotedown a statement of tlie event and signed it. This was the first occasion on which I had tried an experiment of this kind and its complete success startled me very much." Many interesting examples could be given of telepathic cures which at bottom are the basis of Mrs. Eddy's Christian Science, the Faith Cure, etc. I will give one instance, related by Hudson. He says: "A lady whom I had instructed in the process, asked me if 1 thought there was any use in her trying to cure a bad case of strabismus (crosseyes). her little niece about ten years of age, having been afflicted from her birth. I unhesitating ly assured her that there was no doubt of her ability to effect a cure. Pull of confidence she commenced the treatment, and kept, it up about three months, at the end of which time, the cure was com plete". The method of this cure was by willing on going to sleep that the niece's strabismus should be cured. I have collated these examples of the phenomena of the subliminal self, in an endeavor to show' what a wonderful re ality the subliminal mind is'. Plivsical science, has within a century brought to light new and wonderful know ledge of ions, electrons, X rays, N rays, the evolution of atoms, wireless telegraphy, etc., and so, metapsychical science, also, seems to have arrived at the dawn of a new light on the entity and the laws of the subliminal mind and as knowledge and research proceed hand in hand, we may be led to a life in the future transcending all that has yet been dreamed of a life anil knowledge of the powers that have hitherto been for the most part latent within us, that will with the faith of Christ cur Master, enable us to make what are now consid ered miraculous cures of ills which flesh is heir to; which will enable men to com municate their thoughts to others, what ever be the distance that separates them, without even the use of wireless telegra phy.
