''SOON TALK TO DEAD"
So Declares Bishop Samuel Fall
lows OF Chicago.
"TELEPATHY ESTABLISHED"

Spirit, but Has Known People Who
Have Seen Spirits-New Science Of
"lmmortalism."
'"Telepathy Is an established fact. In
recent years great strides have been
made in the explanation Of psychic
phenomena. and In the years to come
the science OF communication with the
dead will be made part of the curric-
ulum of great educational institutions.
AS Its study becomes systematized and
more widely spread greater advances
will be made, and some day we will
talk with the spirits as we now talk
with material persons"
This statement Is made by Bishop
Samuel Fallows Of the Reformed Epls-
copal church He Is well known In
Chicago. where he resides.
Future advancement In the science
Of 'immortalism." which is spiritual
ism with the fakes" left out, will
1t will be studied by the masses just
as they now delve into Latin. arithme-
tic, geography or grammar, according
to Bishop Fallows, who spoke at st.
Pauls Reformed Episcopal church on
"Why Am an Immortalist and Not a
SpiritualistT'
The bishop made startling statements
to the writer. He frankly states that
he formerly fought shy of spiritualism
and that he is just beginning to learn.
In the enlightened days to come. says
DR.. Fallows, we shall be able to con-
verse with spirits Of departed friends
and relatives. Their state will be made
known to us through these communi-
cations. They will be able to advise
us on knotty problems, he adds.
Hasn't Yet Seen q Spirit.
Bishop Fallows quotes speech Of
DR.. Adam Clarke, in which that cele-
brated commentator said.
II believe that spirits may, accord
ing to the order Of God, in the laws of
their place of residence, have inter-
course with this world and become WIS.,
tble to mortals."
did you ever see a spirit2" Bishop
Fallows was asked.
mo, l never have" was the answer,
"but l know persons who claimed to
have seen and talked with spirits, in
telligent members of my own congre-
cation, whose words I have no reason
to doubt.
II discouraged them in their belief. /
now feel that their experiences were
Of great value and that sustained an
incalculable loss by not going deeper
into the matter with them"
you really believe, then. that spir-
its may be visible to material persons
and that they may talk with and influ-
ence a material mindT' he was asked.
II do firmly believe that. There are
we'll authenticated cases on record
where important actions Of noted men
had been Influenced by some super
natural communication.
Mysterious Agencies"
"In many cases they were unable to
Identify the mysterious agencies. They
had merely an intangible feeling that
they should change their course. But
In other cases they were able to re-
member the spirit who talked to them,
to repeat its exact words and to de-
scribe its appearance. These instances
cannot be doubted. as they come from
men high in their professions.
There are great truths In spiritual
ism. Many spiritualistic phenomena
we cannot understand, but we have to
admit them. l have called the new
science immortalism because it de-
pends for its existence upon the i'm
mortality of the soul, in which we all
believe. and the preservation of iden-
tity beyond the grave. Immortalism IL
simply spiritualism with all the frauds
and trickery eliminated. On account
Of these frauds spiritualism has been
Stunned by many right thinking peo-
pie. but immortalism will claim their
most earnest attention"
In support of his belief Bishop Fal-
lows quoted from many eminent men
who have expressed similar views.
