like beast which after reaching
its goal is done and ready for des-
truction and dissolution, but man
has higher and nobler aspirations,
he has desire, impulse, acquire
ment, conscience. duty. and he looks
forward to a future life, he is not
satisfied, what he sees, hears and
feels. he reasons upon those sensa-
tions and rises to constantly higher
conceptions of unseen realms which
surround him. His body is so linn
lied by the material universe and by
tie shortness of his life that he can
not attain the perfection on this
earth for which he was evidently
designed and created.
One more step further after
mentioning those few leading argu-
ments in favor of future life, we
now approach field of observations
which bristles with phenomena of
Splritualism, of experimental Hyp-
notism, of the power of Telepathy.
of the law of Suggestions, Mesmer-
ism and Clairvoyance. We have
already sundry rumors and pre-
tences of that unexplored kingdom
as invisible things, but they are as
yet unsatisfactory and unintelligible,
but science cannot ignore them. 1t
remains to resolve those mysteries
and reduce them to law and to open
up some regular and intelligible in
tercourse with the unseen world, so
it will be a new discovered conti-
nent. where we might visit or hold
communion with it and we might
learn of other modes of existence
between body and spirit and obtain
knowledge of other bodies and dis
cover means of rendering them visi-
BILE to our bodily eye. AS we now
hold conversation with friends up
on the shores of Pacific or in the
haart of Europe, or fly with super
Euinan velocity of the wind from
one ocean to the other, may we net
be able to gaze upon the spiritual
bodies in which our departed friends
reside and discover the means on
listening to their spirit voices.
1t seems more and more certain
that we are as the cells of one
immense organism connected by a
network of vibrations, waves, in
fluences of nameless, numberless
phenomena in this new province OF
great unexplored kingdom. Some
phenomena are bursting forth in
every quarter of the Globe, in order
to attract our attention from that OF
the stone; Of the flower and the
insect; up to the mighty silence OF
the stars trying to tell us some
secret. 1t is their mission to stir
to awaken, to galvanize, to illuminate
the secret of our subconsciousness
and to bring them to the surface oil
our normal lives.

spear expresses those sentiments
and continues with the words: II
is a voice, the one of the unknown
guest that sounds in our ears and
sounds like an echo of a world thai
is not like ours, it utters warning
cries, knocks on our door, but all
that reaches us is an indistinct muir
mur."
One step farther, the last one
after discussing those points and
arguments, obscured we might say
by the twilight tradition and there
fore being only faint outlines. we
must turn on the Calcium light of
modern science. The most i'm
portant and actually only one is
the Duality of the mind, the OBJ
jective and subjective mind and the
theory of the dual mind leads to the
conclusion of Immortality, and it is
the fundamental basis, from which
we may proceed to demonstration
