The daily sentinel., 1909-03-15
BIG CROWD
WAS THERE

Last night large audience filled
the Odd Fellows Hall, every seat be-
ing occupied. The occasion was the
delivering of the lecture THE Life
After Death by DR.. Alexander J.
McIvor-Tyndall, who has been at
marvellous demonstrations and his in
tensely interesting lectures in this
city during the past two weeks
The fact that all classes and types
of mentality were represented. shows
to what extent this much discussed
subject of a future life and inter-
communication. is being considered
today.
DR.. McIvor-Tyndall claims no affil-
iation with any society, spiritualistic
theosophical, or orthodox. but he has
decided views upon the various phas-
es of phychic research. and unhesi-
tatingly announces his conviction
that the so-cailed dead" are as much
alive as are those in the physical
body and that their manner of living
does not differ greatly. in essential
particulars. from the life in the body.
An incident illustrative of his ex-
perience with those ION the other
| side of the VEIL is the following
startling account:
Il was staying at a hotel in San
Francisco. some five years ago. said
the speaker. when one day as | was
going down in the elevator, my at
tention was riveted upon a young
man of about 25 years of age. who
stood opposite me.
AS l gazed at him a voice seemed
TO breathe these words in my ear: L
am that boys mother. He wants to
I commit suicide, save him. AT the
same moment I saw the ethereal form
of gray haired woman of about so
years of age. standing close to the
young mans side.
Il made inquiries at the hotel Of
flee about the young man and found
that he was most successful trav-
cling man, and that he was consid-
cred by his friends to be fellow of
the most cheerful and fortunate tenn
perament
Il dismissed the incident from my
mind. concluding that 1t was one of
those cross vibrations which the in
vestigator frequently meets with,
where the message is correctly re-
ceived, but misapplied that is. the
wrong person is pointed out.
In few days. however, the news
papers were filled with the account of
the suicide of this young man. in a
town in the southern part of the
state, and as far as could be learned,
there was no cause discoverable for
the rash act
Several remarkable incidents prov
ing that those who have passed from
the earth life, still interested in the
loved ones left behind. were given by
the speaker. many of them having a
much happier ending than the one
here cited, but all tending to prove
the possession of a clearer vision
among the so-called dead" than
among those still in the body.
| An interesting feature of the meet
ing was the answering of personal
questions by psychic impression. Such
questions as: Where is Harry T."
viii l take a trip this year, and If
so, where?" What became of my
| gold locket?" When and whom will
| marry?' why do not hear from
my friend?" and questions of sim
liar nature. received minute descrip-
tion and reply.
A series of very interesting and
strange demonstrations were given
last evening by Dr. McIvor-Tyndall.
all of which aroused much enthus-
iasm and completely baffled the large
audience. The doctor will remain in
the city all week as the demands for
private readings and consultations
continue TO be great.
