strides have been made in the eXpla-
nation of psychic phenomena and in
the years to come the science Of com
munication with the dead will be
made part of the curriculum of great
educational institutions. As its study
becomes systematized and more wide
ly spread greater advances will be
made and as we now talk with materi-
al persons"
This statement was made to a cor
respondent by Bishop Samuel Fallows
of the Reformed Episcopal Church.
Future advancement in the science

ing to Bishop Fallows, who spoke at
St Paul's why Am | an Immortalist
and Not a Spiritualist?"
The Bishop made some startling
statements in discussing his sermon
with the World correspondent to-day.
He frankly states that he formerly
fought shy of spritualsm and that
he is just beginning to learn.
In the enlightened days to come,
says DR., Fallows, we shall be able to
converse with spirits of departed
friends and relatives. Their state will
be made known to us through these

adds.
In his sermon Sunday, Bishop Fal.
lows quoted a speech Of DR.. Adam
. Clarke, in which that celebrated corr
mentator 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
possible to mortals."
Did you ever see a spirlt?" Bishop
Fallows was asked.
mo, never have was the answer.
But | know persons who claimed to
have seen and talked with spirits, in
telligent members of my own congre.
cation, whose words have no reason
to doubt.
81 discourage them in their belief.
l now feel that their experiences were
of great value, and that ! sustained
an incalculable loss by not going deep
er 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 infu-
ence a material mind?" he was asked.
81 do firmly believe that. There are
well authenticated cases on record
where important actions of noted men
have been influenced by some super
natural communication.
I'm many cases they were unable to
identify the mysterious agencies.
They had merely an intangible feel
ing that they should change their
course. But in other cases they were
able to remember the spirit who talk
ed to them, to repeat its exact words
and to describe its appearance. These
instances cannot be doubted, as they
come from men high in their profes.
sions.
There are great truths In spiritual.
nsm. 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
is simply spirtualism with alr the
frauds and trickery eliminated. On
account OF these frauds spiritualism
has been stunned by many right
thinking people. 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.
