The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
224
As
a
proof
of
the
identity
of
symptoms
in
this
malady,
we
give
a
Chinese
case.
The
Chinese,
as
to
diabolical
possession,
are
precisely
of
the
same
opinion
as
the
inspired
authors
of
the
Gospels.
People
are
"possessed,"
and,
like
the
woman
having
a
spirit
of
divination
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles,
make
a
good
thing
out
of
it.
Thus
Mrs.
Ku
was
approached
by
a
native
Christian.
She
became
rigid
and
her
demon,
speaking
through
her,
acknowledged
the
Catholic
verity,
and
said
that
if
Mrs.
Ku
were
converted
he
would
have
to
leave.
On
recovering
her
everyday
consciousness,
Mrs.
Ku
asked
what
Tsehwa,
her
demon,
had
said.
The
Christian
told
her,
and
perhaps
she
would
have
deserted
her
erroneous
courses,
but
her
fellow-villagers
implored
her
to
pay
homage
to
the
demon.
They
were
in
the
habit
of
resorting
to
it
for
medical
advice
(as
people
do
to
Mrs.
Piper's
demon
in
the
United
States),
so
Mrs.
Ku
decided
to
remain
in
the
business.

The
parallel
to
the
case
in
the
Acts
is
interesting.
