IN his recent work, Life After Death, Professor Hyslop, who was formerly Protessor of Logic at Columbia University and is now the chief American authority upon matters psychic, has a sentence which sounds rather intolerant. It runs: “Any man who does not accept the existence of discarnate spirits and the proof of it is either ignorant or a moral coward.” The words are literally true, and yet what removes the sting is that there is really no reproach up to now in being ignorant. Much of the final absolute proof is very recent and is contained in works which have not been translated and which are expensive and difficult to get. It is true that we have Crawford’s splendid work at Belfast and Crookes’s researches of fifty years ago, but both of these needed the corroboration and elucidation of the Continental observers to bring out their full meaning. I have all the documents before me. and I will try in this article to show any man who is capable of adapting his mind to fresh facts that this tremendous issue is no longer a fair subject for debate, but has been definitely settled up to a certain point—a point which gives us a solid basis for the researches of the future. All recent discoveries, whether they be of aviation, wireless telegraphy, or other material novelties, are insignificant beside a development which shows us a new form of matter, with unheard-of properties, lying latent in all probability within each of us. By a strange paradox the searchers after spirit have come to know more about matter, and its extraordinary possibilities, than any materialist has learned.
