In this condition of chaos, on one side materialism is holding you, on the other spiritualism is inviting you. Then came along a Faqir from Egypt. This Faqir went to many different places. He performed in the theater lying in a coffin, being closed with no air in the coffin. There he stayed for eight or ten minutes; then he was put on two unsheathed swords, and read people's thoughts; he did wonders no doubt, and did it most wonderfully. It wakens their thoughts that there is something beyond matter, and this man is doing wonderfully, too. He invites people to come on the platform. Forty American scientists, physicians, came on the platform, they see what he is doing, there is no faith in it. The real Faqirs who can perform wonders, they never intend to show it to others.
