In a private letter to the President of the Massachusetts Metaphysical College, Rev. A, J. Swartz, of Chicago, writes: "All my class are well unfolded spiritually....They tell to anxious ones the fulness of the new, higher truths, and tell all that it is not to be confounded with spiritualism or mediumship. Good; and no class I teach shall hear me lower the standard.—I do not allow mediumship or its cohorts dragged into the Metaphysics taught in my class."
But since the reception of the above statement, the writer of the letter has issued a circular inviting people to enter upon a course of instruction under himself, which is to include "mediumship, clairvoyance and magnetism."
He tells the public in said circular, that the twelve lessons of the proposed course are to be "chiefly as taught by the Massachusetts Metaphysical College," and claims to have passed through a course of instruction under Mrs. Eddy, president of that institution.
