is something more to be lived for tn;
any man has great truth to tell it
go. 1t is the greatest agglomerationS
Of civilized, thoughtful people the

message"
isn't that q restatement Of what
I'll religions have been telling man
kind?" he was asked
Yes" he replied, "but religion has
not been heard for many years. De-
spite the original truth message of the
| old religions they are so mixed up
with theological technicalities that the
world has tired of them. The world
has not heard. the world has been liv-
| ing on purely materialistic basis.
That is what is at the back of all the
worlds woes. Spiritualism aims to tell
the truths religion originally held in
pristine purity.
Believer I'm God.
I'VE are theists-I believe in God.
1t is impossible to deny some infinite
intelligence ruling all. But when it
comes to define the form, anthropo-
morfic or otherwise, my finite mind
cannot and do not believe any other
finite mind can. Certainly do not be-

looked reverently and seriously and
with every evidence Of emotion into
the open fire before which he was sit
ting. "Our friends on the other side
tell US that they know Christ They
know Him as being infinitely superior
to themselves, one through whom God
speaks to them. But when we ask IL
He is God they do not understand the
question. They say what is the use of
trying to say whether He is God or not
when we admit He is so far above us
and His teachings are accurate and
authoritative.
That is what mean when / say
that the old religions involved in the
illogical disputes to the point of hope
lessness are affecting modern minds.
am taking with me what is undoubt-
edly the finest collection Of spirit pho
tographs in the world-seventy-e eight
pictures. the authenticity of which I
can personally guarantee.
Gives Scientific Proof.
"Spiritualism can scientifically DEM
onst-ate to the modern mind that there
is more than this material life. Per-
sonally I am no longer interested in
this detailed phenomena. Should that
andiron suddenly move about the room
(the visitor shifted nervously) it would
not astonish nor hardly interest me.
If there is Spiritualist church
where ! happen by 1 go in, but more
than anything else 1 do it merely to
encourage the cause.
"As a matter of fact, I feel that 1
can do more by remaining at home in
quiet meditation than by going to any
church"
Asked how churches, particularly
the Roman Catholic Church, with it's
strong tenets regarding supernatural
Intervention through miracles, looked
upon spiritualism, Sir Conan replied
The Catholic Church is bitterly op-
posed to us. Perhaps they were right
in opposing the black magic in the
dark days of the Middle Ages. There
was black magic in those days. Some
men stumbled into great truths in
psychic intercourse WIFI
phenomena and in the corruption and
ignorance of those times used them
for their own ends.
Prayers for the Dead.
Modern spritualism is not black
magic. 1t is scientific effort to bring
home to the world the great psychic
truths that will awake the world from
the wallow Of materialism. 1t is al
ready having an effect. Read the cur
rent day sermons. particularly those
dedicating war memorials. The Bishops
of the Anglican church again and
again since the war discourse on these
occasions as IL the dead were actually
present That Is something hitherto
far beyond their customs. certainly
beyond the rubrics of the Anglican
church.
THE Anglican dedication Of grave
yard hitherto has supposed the ground
consecrated merely for the bodies of
tie dead"
Sir Arthur has lectured in America
before and expects to leave his family
near New York while he is travelling.
He says that he has no friends in
America of importance now in the
spiritualist movement. 1T isn't spirit
ualists I am going to see." he said.
