Before we admit or question the sincerity and the soundness of this spiritual revival, let - us inquire first what is meant by the spiritual. Does it consist in turning, for guidance and solace, to the Orient, or to Christianity, or to spiritism, or to the So ciety for Psychical Research, or to theoso phy and mystic lore? There is in all these movements of the present day a common desire, to be sure, to turn from materialism, if only for a spell - and for a change. But every definition of the spiritual that they embody differs substantially from the other.
