THE FACULTY OF COMMUNION

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Permit me to thank you for the remarkable article in the Spectator of July 4th with which you revi:.-,v Mrs. Alfred Lyttelton's book. You have, I think, stated the exact truth— that a faculty once possessed by the human race has fallen into discredit and desuetude, and is now likely with proper pre- cautions to be resuscitated and employed. The violent antagonism to it is probably of an atavistic character.— I am, Sir, &c., OLIVER LODGE. Normanton house, Lake, Salisbury.
