THE world has come to that
place." Hyslop said to the news
reporter, where the psychic-the
things of the soul-are going to
occupy more and more attention.
We are beginning to stertch our
hands out to the other side.'
THE big question nowadays is
AFTER DEATH-WHAT?' And
the one way to solve this question
is to talk to-ghosts!
Since the death last August of
Prof. William James of Harvard,
the famous philosopher, i have
had some tremendous psychic ex-
periences. Prof. James himeslf
has sent messages to me that az
solutely could not have come
anyone but from him. And !
have had spirit conversation
with Carroll d. Wright late
United States labor commissioner.
Prof. James, for instance, told
a medium, the young son of a
minister, that he should give me

pair of pink pajamas and a
black necktie for Christmas.
This boy lives in an out-of-the-
way place and knew neither
James nor myself. And yet the
message is marvelously signifi-
cant. James and / had had a joke
about his once borrowing a pair
of pajamas in England which
turned out to be ridiculous
shade of baby pink. 1t was a
joke of which probably nobody
else ever heard. AS for the black
necktie, was, at the time, wear
ing black tie which had be-
longed to James and very few
persons had any idea that this tie
had not always been my own.
81 am about to announce the
results of my spirit communica-
ton with Carroll d. Wright to the
world. OF the mass of details he
gave me, great deal has been
absolutely verified by his daaigh-
ter. One detail in particular is
worth noting. He mentioned IA a
red brick building covered with
vines where he had been at one
time. We could not locate this.
At length we discovered that four
years ago Wright had visited
just such a laboratory. 1t was
back in some hills near the Hud-
son river. Everyone in his fam
lily had forgotten the incident. e
1.-THE next great object of the
human race is to develop the
psychic. We must reach out our
hands over that gulf and >see
what we can learn from those
over there. They may noto be
permitted to tell us everything,
but as we go onstrying. the means
of our communication WILD be
strengthened and we shall learn
marvellous things. We shall

raiment and the soul more than
