PROPHECIES, 181
case (Mappin and Webb's robbery) the witnesses, after mentioning that I saw the big robbery, add, “and felt a blow on the head.” Your readers will remember that the watchman was “ stunned by a blow onthehead.” This, as the date shows, I felt on the Thursday previews to the robbery.
You asked a week or so ago why we foresee only unpleasant things. I believe the reason is that evil, being nearer “ matter” than “ spirit,” is more ponderous in the ether, and is therefore “sensed " more easily by a Seer. I not only “see” but “feel” the density of evil, and I am pretty sure that wrong-doing has an actual spiritual weight, and thus keeps a spirit “down” and pre- vents its rising to realms above. The modern investigator says: “How I wish I were clair- voyant” ; but the old Seer prayed: “ Lord, take away my sight.” It is nice to be able to give descriptions that cheer the mourners “left behind,” but true seership does not stop at that, and it is, as Mr, Span says, “a mercy that God does not open the eyes (to a full extent) of all of us.” Those with a mission to perform have a/so a price to pay.
Yours, etc., VINCENT N, TURVEY.
