Abby A. Judson explains her adoption of spiritualism in twelve lectures delivered in Minneapolis between November 1890 and March 1891. A biographical sketch introduces the daughter of missionary Adoniram Judson and her earlier work as a teacher, before the lectures turn to the beliefs and experiences that shaped her new religious outlook.
The subjects range from the meaning and practical benefits of spiritualism to belief in God, interpretations of Jesus, the investigation of mediumship, death and the imagined location of a spirit world. Judson combines personal accounts with arguments about religion, immortality and future spiritual development. Poems appear between the lectures, and a closing section records communications attributed to deceased people. This complete 1891 edition retains the portrait, original front matter and all twelve lectures.
