political institutions. In all cases its
value depends on the existing state of
knowledge and on the belief in many
other things. If mans moral nature
is rightly developed without the belief
in INN mortality, proof will be moro an
intellectual than an ethical concern:
but in an age when the affections are
highly developed, and the intellect has
adopted conceptions which virtually
nullify the influence Of the affections
it will be matter of some Importance
to learn whether nature is as careful
of personality as it is Of atoms and
matter We may play the part of
stoics in this respect, when we have no
grounds for belief, but stoicism itself
is, in most cases q tribute to that
which it comedies cannot be obtained.
Few natures can live a purely stoical
life The most ethical impulses are not
cast in that mould; and we welcome
that attitude only when it conforms to
what the affections teach, though it has
given up the beliefs that fostercd them.

Takes Place of Stoicis1sa

And right here, according to DR.
Hyslop, spiritualism comes in to sup
ply the need which neither stocism
nor materialism can fill in the long
ings and desires of striving, suffer
ing humanity.
Professor Hyslop's work gives some
Interesting illustrations of spiritual

late Professor William James, Mark
Twain and others. He describes mi

and scientific lights t'appeared,n and

narrated seem to lack conference and
clcarness. This. however, one gathers
from the book, is due to the necessity
OF evolving some definite set of laws
by which TO interpret the revelations
Of people who choose to reappear be-
fore their friends from the other world.
A number of Incidents in telepathy
and similar phenomena are also given.
In this connection DR.. Hyslop has some
interesting things to say on the proc
es5 of communicating:
"The popular terms for the method
Of communicating with the dead are
automatic writing, raps, table tipping,

Help For I3 Mothers

Among those who have found
satisfaction in spiritualism are
thirteen mothers, stated by SIR
Arthur Conan Doyle to be persoc-
ally known to him, who are in co..
respondence with their dead sons
Sir Arthur says: "In each case the
husband, where he is alive, Ia
agreed as to the evidence. In only
one case, as far as I know, was the
parent acquainted with psychic
matters before the war"
In the belief of many spiritual
lists the great war has been instru-
mental in some occult sense in
thinning the wells between this
world and the next.

New Revelation" quotes in his pref
ace statement by Mrs. Piper ut

H. B., with two other specialists, ex-

that it is phthisis. If we could get
him out to Switzerland within the next
forty-eight hours there might be some

or the testimony of trustworthy sub
Ject, will decide whether person is
writing automatically. Many people
suppose that automatic writing is al
ways the act Of some foreign intelli-
gence, but it is not necessarily so. It
may always be the unconscious act of
the subject himself, even though we
suppose that the instigating cause Is
foreign. Popularity, however, it is as
sumed to be due to the direct action Of
spirits, and even some scientific men
maintain that, if spirits are connected
with it at all, they are the direct cause
of it. The matter, however, is not so
simple as it seems. The factor that
makes it appear to be the direct act
of foreign intelligence is the exclusion
of normal consciousness and intention.
We naturally assume that anything not
done by us voluntarily is not done by
us at all, and if our ego were defined
by our conscious and voluntary acts,
as the Cartesian philosophy would have
us believe, this view would be cor
rect. But since the time of Descartes
we have learned that there is whole
territory Of unconscious actions insti-
gated, at least apparently, by uncon-
scious processes Of the mind.
"Thesc acts may not be due to spir-
its at all The subconscious is pre-
suped to lie between the fields Of
spirit agency and the normally con-
scious and voluntary actions of the
mind. Whether in this region mental
states and acts may be originated with
out foreign stimulus is debatable, but
in the absence of evidence for
this instigation we have to assume that
subconscious acts explain the facts, es-
pecially when the knowledge mani
tested or action performed is entirely
within the range of normal ACQUISITION.
But if information not normally &C
quired is conveyed by this automatic
writing, the subconscious certainly
cannot be more than the vehicle or
medium of it's transmission. It is this
foreign origin that gives the impression
Of direct control by spirits, and so
leads to the supposed significance of
automatic writing.

A Change of Thought

Then, during the last few years,
great change of thought has oc-
Cured regarding these questions.
Science itself maintains its posi-
ton of negation, but many scientists
have been found who, after invest
eating psychic phenomena, declare
their belief in survival after
death. Among these are Sir
William Crookes and Sir Oliver
Lodge, whose services to science
are well known. They are men
whose Investigations in other fiel IS
would be Immediately received with
credence. Moreover, science has had
to admit many things, whose tenabil-
ity it at first denied, such as hypuo-
tism and kindred phenomena. It has
hypothesized the ether and will
probably have to accept telepathy.
TO the man in the street it is
small step from these things to ex-
istence after death, and if few
scientists lead the way many of his
kind will be only too willing to
follow
In these circumstances and I'M
der conditions resulting from the
great war great wave of spirit
ualism, theosophy, anthroposophy,
occultism, mysticism, as we'll as
many other isms too numerous to
mention, is sweeping over Eng
land and Europe. The movement
is accompanied by the appearance
of an enormous number of the
most startling publications on SINH
lar lines to w. I. Stead's Letters
from Julia" or "After Death" and
Elsa Barker's Letters from Liv-
ing Dead Man" They are mostly
produced by automatic" writing
or are "inspired." They go through
edition after edition. "The Occult
Review the spiritualist weekly
Light" and other such periodicals
have lately experienced an enor-
nous increase in circulation. Books

Popular Ideas Are Wrong

There is another popular conception
OF communication with the dead, which
gives rise to the errors regarding the
physical means Of communication. This
popular notion is that the communica-
ton is quite like our own communica-
ton with each other. The circumstance
that it comes in speech or writing or
some use of the physical organism
creates the impression that the process
is mere substitution of the discarnate
spirit for our own in the use of the
human organism. This is not true, de-
spite the appearances to that effect.
Superficial characteristics make it ap-
pear as if the spirit simply took hold
Of the physical organism and used it
jNat as the living personality uses it.
IN the contrary, the subconscious does
got cease to function; and when the
formal consciousness is made the
vehicle of the communications, no part
c living control is lost.
"The popular misconception leads to
he Interpretation of messages as if
hey were not colored by the mind
which serves as the medium of trans
mission, an assumption which is prov
ably false. There is nothing clearer to
Investigators than the fact that all
messages are affected by the mind of
the medium, NORMAL or subliminal, &C.
cording to the conditions under which
communication takes place. II the
messages come through normal con-
seriousness, the form of the message
will be affected. Memories, interpreter
ton and language determine the form
of the message. To some extent the
subconscious will affect it in the same
way in trance, when normal con-
seriousness is suspended. Control of
the living organism is either indirect
or totally wanting when the communi
cations are going on, except, possibly
in exceptional cases."
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-08-03
Help From, Medium,

This declaration brought a retort
from a lady whose experience is
worth quoting as typical of hun
dreds Of stories Of guidance or AL
legged guidance from spiritualism
She writes:
May I give an instance of help re-
ceived through medium? A brother
mad been alllng off and on for a wear
or more. He was suddenly taken worse.
he had been spending the autumn in q
coHvalescent home for officers. One
evening l received a telegram to saw

IN London; would | come at once .
Next afternoon, before going to the
home, l called upon friend NOT nm

mcrts after entered her control

IN the previous year he had been

the pony had rolled on him, and he
nsa been badly crushed. I told Sun

sarily as attesting the nature, or any

"The Importance Of belief in sur
vival after death depends partly on the
conditions Of the age and partly on the

immortality has exercised little infu-
encc on the ethical and social life, and
there have been ages and races in

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-08-03

declare they have been convinced
of the personal survival after death.
But this, it seems, is not all.
Spiritualism has also invaded the
churches, and many a priest and
pastor confesses his leanings tow
ard a belief in life after death
somewhat similar to that recorded
by the spiritualists. Recently the
King and Queen of England listened
to a sermon which spiritualists
claim was tinged with their doc
trines. This was at the great Cathe-
dral of St. Pauls last month dur
ing a memorial service in honor Of
cavalry and yeomanry killed in tn,
war. There were present the King
and Queen and other members Of
the royal family, Sir Douglas Ha!g,
with many of his generals, besides
other officers of all ranks and a
crowded congregation.
Il congregation Unseen
The following is one of the re-
markable passages of the sermon
preached by the Rev. H. W. Blacl-
burne, D. S. o., M. c., assistant
chaplain general:
eve are conscious of CONGREGATION
unseen, but very real, which has gath
cred in or near this building to-day. 7
like to feel, l do feel, that there is one
very near to me now, my own splendid
brother. And I hasten to add that I
only dare use that term because not
for one moment is it forgotten that our
dear ones are splendid, too. There is
an ache in every heart to-day, an ache
that we shall feel perhaps until the
end of time
There is joy, a real joy, in the
thought that we are comprised about
with great cloud of witnesses, that
their presence is very real"
The spread Of spiritualism has. on
the other hand, alarmed some mem
bers OF the clergy, such as the
Bishop of London, who at a recent
memorial service at st. Martin's-in-
the Fields declared he wanted to see
people free from that superstition
of perpetually visiting mediums for
the purpose Of getting into commu-
nlcatlon with the other world. He
said he had never seen any informal
ton which had given them the
slightest help, and such proceedings,
in his opinion, were a waste of time
and made persons restless and un-
happy.
