I know I shall need the whole armor for this fight against malicious minds; and I have had the following experience with mesmerism, and therefore know that error is a coward before Truth.
A certain professor was giving exhibitions of his power, performing the usual feats. I had an interview with him, saying that I was investigating the subject. He said the work was done through will and thought-transferrence. When he finished his explanation, during which he tried his power over me, I felt a heavy weight on my head, a feeling which lasted but a second. I then told him that I had some understanding of a higher power, and that I thought his could be destroyed. He at once became very nervous and cowardly, saying: "Madam, I have a reputation at stake. I hope you won't interfere with my work."
