BODY, SOUL s MACHINE,
SAYS SIR OLIVER LODGE
British Scientist Presents Evidence
for Survival After Death to
New York Audience.
From Yesterdays New York Times.

From Yesterdays Now York Times
Such Evidence for Survival" AS no
had to offer, Sir Oliver IodRn presented
in Carnegie Hall Tuesday night. Tho
second OF his series of lectures on the
supernatural proved to be painstaking
and conservative exposition OF the rca-
sons for his own belief in life after death,
rather than any effort to convert such
non-bclievcrs as heard him.
Sir Oliver started by reminding his
hearers Of the vital nature of the ques-
tion before them, said the case for survival
had been proved to him, but he preferred
to offer the 'cold-bloodcd scientific
facts which had brought about his con-
version, ss evidence rather than proof.
He defined life as something which
interacts with matter and moves matter,
n kind of animating soul-principle. Life,
he said was the nidiment of mind and
mind might be the rudiment of spirit he
didn't wish to dogmatize.
BODY A SOUL MAC cH,NE.
The speaker told how life, consequently
or unconsciously, arranges matter into
patterns and thus constructs things. He
regarded his body rs such n construction,
q machine his soul could use. an instru-
ment which he could employ as the
musician does his organ, TO communi-
cate with those who sat before him.
Sir Oliver talked of the nature of phan-
tasms, apparitions, appearances which,
he said, we're not mere superstitions.
He said they we're real cases of telcpathy,
but the mind interprets them as coming
through ordinary channels, the brain cells
are stimulated and think they see and
hear, hence they supply tho illusion of
voice, body, dripping clothes and the
of drcam-constructed vision from
from real impact of mind on mind.
There could be survival without COM
munication, he said, but oommunica-
ton without survival was impossible.

continued, with show that the discar-
nate have passed not into angels or

mcdiacval superytitution, but that their
memories have survived the shock, that
their character has lasted, for better or
for worse, and that their affection en-
dures, then we hnve proved our case
dor survival
The lecturer went on 10 talk N mediums
and warned against danger Of contamina-
ton from the mind OF the medium oven
though his or her persol atty Is supposed
to be in allowance, md said tho trance
state was tho best for communication
He dwclt upon the severe tcrts TO which
messages should be put, denied that most
messages were trivial and repeated his
explanation Of q few days ago that triviali-
tics often served best for purposes Of
proof Of identity. As a mundane example
Of this he told how Lord Kelvin, then Sir
William Thompson, once when testing
Bells invention Of the telephone, said
into the receiver no words Of world inn
port, but 'hcy diddle, diddlc, the cat and
the fiddle" and danced with transports
Of JOY when the reply camc back, "thc
COW jumped over the noon.'
There is Sir William Barrctt's most
curious case" he continued, (which
could not have been telepathy because
il was not in anybodys mind. A soldier

among his effects would be found tic
pin for Miss Jane Summers. They found
there WINS such IA girl, and she had been
engaged TO the soldier, and when they
hunted through his effects they found
the tic pin which they did not know hc
had"
The lecturer then read description of
She case OF man whose son, ~ years
old, died after being wounded on the
battlefield. Some one persuaded his
mother TO consult medium The boys
given names were Leslie Stewart, but he
had boon called Rodgcr. When the me
dium attempted to write "RodRcr" the
boy broke in and said. mo, Podger
'sPodgcr" was his mothers affectionatc
name for him. The spirit identified HIM
self As "Podeer' and tod many remark
able things, all of which might have been
telcpathic communications from their
own minds acting upon the mediums.
Finally the son told his mother il she
would look under certain flap in his
luggage she would find all her letters
to him She had hunted for these letters
and had not discovered the flap before.
She looked under it and found all her
letters. Once this boy described TO his
mother bronze object that looked like
q coin and WASH { and suggested something
about putting hole In it and wearing
it as memento. Tho mother searched
his effects once more and found penny.

He Appeals for Great National Collection" Of
$33,0OO,OOO Beginning Sunday, December 10Th,

Brooks, who did such great work
for the Red Cross responded to
its call. William H. Morriss was
summoned by the Y. NJ. c. A,
Mrs. George S. Jackson by the
Y. w. c. A. and William S. Au-
men by the Knights Of Column
bus; Julius Levy and Jacob
Epstein answered to the appeal
Of the Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee. Robert Garrett and
DR.. l.. w. McCreary got into
harness for the Federal Council
OF Churches and Richard L. Cary
who has but recently returned
from relief work for German
babies, y responded as the rep
resentative Of the American
Friends Service Commission
These men were appointed by the
eight organizations which com
pose the European Relief Coun.
Gil to serve as the nucleus OF the
Maryland State Committee.
At their first meeting call went
to the leaders and workers in the
eight organizations in Baltimore
and each Of the counties to al
once mobilize for service. The
response was prompt-and prac,
tically unanimous.
Plans have been launched for
a great National Collection" to
begin on Sunday, December 10Th
and to continue throughout the
holidays. The time in Maryland
is short, but it is believed that the
urgency Of the need will speed
things up enough to enable the
Churches to do their part on next
Sunday. 1t is realized that cry
to save suffering children is par
ticularly appropriate at the
Christmas season and that any
delay might hurt the fund. AS
Mr.. Hoover points out, this ap-
peal admits no delay. The money
must begin coming in at once OF
the children will die.
