    In this book, I do not endorse all I mark ([15])
    In a degree true, but not so much so as you would infer (19)
    You are merely giving the views of some. Many have different ideas. You I sup. for use, are infallible (22)
    True, but it is laudable to think and talk (26)
    No such truth. Great case should be used. (33)
    Everything is right and true to its condition! (34)
    Be modest. The time will come when you will realized that you have given much chaff with your wheat. (39)
    No doubt true, as far as the external is concerned, but the soul probably is an off shoot from the Divine (47)
    I don't see that spirits that come through other mediums, claim to know any more than you do. It is safe to say, that there is a good deal of Randolph's individuality in this book. (54)
    My friend, you are wrongly informed and talk wild! (63)
    [finger pointing drawing] True as truth. (65)
    [drawn pointing finger] Oh, that women would cultivate more charity, for their weaker, but oftentimes, in may respects, better sisters! (79)
    If one lives rightly, those transient pleasures cease to be such. (81
    Amen! (85)
    I think there are exceptions (84)
    You will find many sympathizers. (86)
    All roses have some briers; but your egotistical spectacles cause you to magnify them. (94)
    It will apply to some sensitive mediums. Spiritualists as a whole are made happier and have more confidence in God and humanity than ever. ... Are you insane? (95)
    No doubt of that. Might be better expressed. (96)
    [drawn pointing finger] The following is not altogether imaginary (99)
    That is, you are the medium. We must be thankful if we find a very few friends. I cannot love mediums for their mediumship; I am attracted to what my soul craves! (102)
    You had better called this book, Randolph's experiences as a medium. Why so bitter? (106)
    They are doing a good work, and will have their reward. (107)
