Does Personality Exist After Death?
By GARRETT P. sERvIss.

TIME most remarkable state
ment that has yet been
made Of the present atti-
tude of science in its effort to
comprehend the world around us
is the recent address of Sir Oliver
Lodge as president of the British
Association for the Advancement
Of Science.
The facts and theories that he
mentions are not new to those
who have closely followed the
progress of scientific thought. but
1T is his grouping of them that
makes his statement valuable.
And, then, he has thrown out sug-
gestions about things as yet but
dimly seen which are fun of in
SEPARATION, for all who use their
brains for some higher purpose
than merely getting money or
contriving idle amusements to
fritter away their brief time on
earth
The topic OF Sir Oliver Lodges
address is Continuity" The most
continuous, or uninterrupted, ma
terial thing of which we have
any conception is the ether. The
ether which we can neither see.
nor feel. nor in any way apprs-

bend directly by any of our senses,
rs the one all permeating sub
stance that binds the whole OF the
particles of matter together. 1t Is
the uniting and binding medium
without which, il matter could
exist at all, it could exist only as
chaotic and in isolated fragments;
and it is the universal medium of
communication between worlds
and particles. And yet it is pos
sible for people to deny It's ex-
istence because it Is unrelated to
any of our senses except sight
and to that only in an indirect
and not easily regarded fashion"
His opinion about the exist
ence Of non planetary. imma-
teriaI jewellers" in the space
around us is clearly expressed In
the following words;
I'm Justice to myself and my
co-workers" (this refers 10 his
associates in the Society for
Psychical Research) IT must risk
annoying my present hearers, not
only by leaving on record our con-
viction that occurrences now re-
garded as occult can be examined
and reduced to order by the meth
DDS of science carefully and per-
sistently applied, but by going
further and saying. with the ut
most brevity, that already the
facts so examined have convinced
me that memory and affection are
not limited to that association
with matter by which alone they
can manifest themselves here and
now, and that personality persists
beyond bodily death.
"The evidence. to my mind,
goes to prove that discarnate in
telligence under certain conditions
may interact with US on the ma
terlal side, thus indirectly COM
ing within our scientific ken, and
that gradually we may hope TO
attain some understanding of a
larger, perhaps ethereal, existence
and Of the conditions regulating
intercourse across the chasm. A
body Of responsible investigators
has even now landed on the
treacherous but promising shores
OF a new continent"
Considering the acknowledged
standing and the known acquire
ments of Sir Oliver Lodge in the
world Of science, these expressions
Of his are worth a great deal OF
thinking about.
