NONE CAN LIVE IN TWO WORLDS AT ONCE

NONE CAN LIVE IN TWO WORLDS AT ONCE
The great war has given new impulse to the cult OF
spritualism scientific and empirical investigators nave
given the subject much and exhaustive study and through
the periodical press have given accounts OF their IN
yestgations and conclusions while scofers have hasten
ed into the same arena cticise rdcue and deny 10
read all the various cubratons upon the subject Offered
in the public press would keep busy occupied tnat
he would have spare time for meals or business.
AS asserted the war has been the impulse which has
set into operation this great of Investigations sweep
ing the nations. SO many families in Great Britain,
France Germany Austria the United States, and in 9TH
er countries have lost their brightest and best in the
shock of battle or by dread disease engendered in camp
and trench that the world has become world OF mourn
ing Particularly is this true in England and France
and Germany In the frghtful harvest OF death tnat
through four long years swept the plains of Belgium
and Flanders the hills OF Champagne the forests OF the
Argonne the valley of the Meuse and the mountains OF
Asace and Lorraine hundreds OF thousands OF br1gnt
spirits were wrenched untimey from their earthly
cereents to join the myads who have been translated
to the world beyond the VEIL and hundreds of thousands
of stricken families have mourned the loss OF sons who
the pride and joy OF their families the mastay OF
age to their parents. eo.59rs-rq re y-.i4svas vJ
In the face of such rreparabe losses the neradcabe
desire of the mournu heart is to turn IN any direction
that offers hope of penetrating the mysterious veil be-
yond which the loved has passed. seeking soace in
communication with the spirit that has gone And it is
from the ranks of those that situalsm gains its great
est roll Of believers. s..a g
That stricken hearts have found such solace the
writer believes earnestly and sincerely. His own
observation and experiences at the time OF the Civil War
convinced him of that while in other years ne gave the
subject patient and careful investigation, gathering
fund of rrefutabe proof that cannot be gansad In his
mind, that the living communicate with those who
have passed beyond We recall the circumstance that the
first commander OF the famous Iron Brigade, Col Ed
ward OConnor of the Second Wisconsin Infantry, while
his body yet lay cold in death on the Second Bull Run
battlefield, communicated through spirit medium to
e h,,A
few hours after cannOnba had snuffed out his life.
This editor then boy knew Colonel OConnor and knew
his parents from whom he heard the account they
gave it to his own parents. And recount many
other similar and equally vivid proofs within our
experience.
In these days we have the testimony of men so
eminent i'm the world of science Sir William Crookes,
discoverer of the Xrays; Sir Oliver Lodge, noted
authority scientific Subjects Sir Conan Doyle
eminent in the world of letters Professor HyslOp
noted educator; Russell Wallace and others, who have
been led into this fruitful field of investigation by loss
of in the great world war; and have.been privileged
to get fleeing gmpses of the life beyond the VEIL with
messages from the loved and lost becoming convinced
tell nothing that this editor of "The Oasis had not
learned fifty years more ago. nv
But with that, beyond the few concrete facts
that there communication with those beyond the grave
all these eminent 60 astray when they try to give
details of the life beyond Their descriptions of condi
tons scenes and events in the invisible world do not
tally whereat there is great joy among the scoffers In
recent number of the Saturday Evening Post Harry
Leon Wilson contrasts various accounts of the other
world received by Sir Conan Doyle, Mr.. Basil King and
Others which he declares rreconcabe that the
other maybe both have been deceived Mr. Wilson makes
very amusing against the scientists investigating
spirtualsm. ~4.4s.
But, long years ago the editor of 'The Oasis" reach
ed conclusion that while it is demonstrated and was
demonstrated from time mmemoria that the spirits of
those who have passed beyond and return to COM
municate with the loved ones left behind there is nothing
to be gained by following the cult of Spirituaism To
those of independent MEANS people of leisure with time
to investigate and study, and money to live upon with
out the need of continual application to terrestrial things
there may be consolation and satisfaction in doing so
