BOSTON. Nov. William e.
Chandler, former United State4 sena-
tor from New Hampshire, former sec
retary Of the navy and for years one
AZ the great political leaders of the
0ountry. has come into the limelight
cain as the advocate of a new relig-
loos doctrine. He believes that after

tie stars, there to be reinvested with
0hysicaI bodies and to have the same
consciousness of existence as here,
6niy TO greater perfection.
Mr.. Chandler talked with a reporter

ror many years Mr.. Chandler has
~ al the works obtainable on the

countries and he has thought the mat
ter out on lines OF his own. Now he
makes public declaration OF what Is
TO him a well founded theory.
We must start with the vast, start
ling overwhelming thought that there
exists a power that can create an i'm
mortal soul, capable OF living for
ever" he said. Once created, the
soul must go on and on throughout the
cons of eternity. The great object of
existence could not be satisfied by
humiliation. Ii can be satisfied only
by immortality.
Admitting the future existence OF
the soul, what more logical thought
can we have than that our souls go
to some other part OF the universe to
take up their abode there. What can
be the object OF such an existence?
There Is no communication between
the souls of the departed and the souls
OF those who remain. Such spirit
would be a very unhappy one.
81 do not believe in spiritualism In
the common meaning Of the world. The
idea OF spirit rappings is entirely un-
reasonable.
"If we go to some OF the stars-to

we shall be reinvested with physical
bodies. The joys Of existence attend
ant upon the use Of the Ave senses

reasonable thought than that We shall
be invested with new senses are en-.
joyable. II not more so, than the FIVE
we have in this existenc?
my idea is that when our souls
leave this earth we do not scatter to
different planets. This would be a
terrible separation. Suppose We are
sent to Mars and our dearest friends
have gone TO Sirius. The very thought
Is distressing.
Surely, in the Great Beyond we
shall rejoin our friends. We shall not
scatter. We shall know each other
there as We have known each other
here and shall have friends among
those we meet in this life and among
the countless millions who have pre-
coded us TO the necropolises OF the
past ages.
Il love TO think that in the next
world life will be little easier than
Il Is here. After the cares OF this life
The Detroit times., 1908-11-30

are over we shall need rest The
most prevalent hope ia that of little
rest before entering upon new labors.
The new life will be little easier
little rest is what we long for. But
when we reason upon the subject we
must believe that the life TO come Is
one of activity, life of work. a life
of service"
Senator Chandler does not believe
In the TRANSPORTATION OF the soul on
this planet Nor does he believe that
the soul has had any previous exist
ence. In his philosophy this is the
beginning:

years necessary TO be passed in the
