T7HE observation has been frequently made
that materialistic outlook tends in the
direction OF ill-heaith-particularly OF
nervous" kind while a spiritual outlook
tends In the direction OF health. That indeed
the latter often acts powerful aid to the
recovery OF health. Moreover, 1t seems evident
that the great wave of nervousness" and I'M
rest that seems to be sweeping over many civf
ized peoples at the present time is actually Co
incident with weakening OF faith-with
slackenng of religious conviction.
From this point OF view / was led to inquire
into the relation between the present-day In
crease OF mind and nerve troubles and the
Faith which has sustained mankind, In one
way or another, for thousands Of years.
What of the spiritual sphere which man has
intuitively believed in during 80 many CEN
turtles, that he has had faith in for so long?
Does the SubConscious Self extend on Its
farther side to Spiritual Realm. from which
It brings an occasional message of hope?
IN such an experience as that OF Dorothy
KERN we can find ample material on which to
base inquiry into the possibilities OF "spir-
itual contacts" with
