sHELL" A KIND OF HOSPITAL

Heaven is much like this world, very
bus place. according TO Sir A. Conan
Doyle. who lccturcd OH his Proofs
( 81 lmmo. taity" last night at the
Academy OF Music. Women there. he
said, keep youthful. children grow and
old age n"vcr comes. His own son. he
said. has &Ncn thc Saviour once. but it
b not the will Of God that mortals sec
spirits. II Il were. he said, God

"At the moment OF death Sir
Arthur said the soul is identical with
the physical body. Every hair is the
same. every cell is the counterpart Of
the physical one. The moment Of re-
lease comes with the sevcring of the
cord OF lite which has bound the two
bodies together. Death quietly causes
ono to distngagc itself from the other.
Then the ct,ict:c body IL free and leaves.
when the cthetic body leaves those
Who love II come to its aid tn help IL.
Spirit Rests Three Days
"Ch,ist's three days in the tomb is
smbcmatic of the three days that the
cthetic body spends in rest after its
mortal release. That is done TO keep il
from the shock Of remembering death.
The spirit body retains its intellect,
character and mentality exactly a. II
did in earthly life. You would not be
able 70 know that il the only evidence
presented was that OF the mysterious
monkeys and pompous fools that some
times come 10 seances, the low down
and mischicrous spirits that gather
around unless repelled in n religious
manner which brings the aid OF lofty
spirits.
Spirit land which is the antithesis OF
Heaven il not looked upon as hell by
the Briton but rs 'R spiritual hospital
where ones Spiri. il chastcned. where
one gets ready for Il better sphere before
being allowed 70 60 there. But that Is
for the spirit some time after II has been
released by death.
AT the time of death. said Sir
Arthur. your place is made. You are
plus or minus for yourself. You can go
through life in II procession. but you die
one by one. Later you can work UP
that boon Il given you.
I'm Heaven you develop all dormant
gifts. 1t is busy. rushing world. not
at all. like laid out Dutch garden.
If you love something in life il comes TO
YOU in Heaven. A ,ot of missionary work
there is mixed up with pure enjoyment.
II Is. in short. rest cure after lie.
Home and houses there wer" de
scribed as much like ours. Their in
habitnnts are another matter Sir
Arthur assured his hearers that jar
ring husbands and wives were not
drawn together: otherwise II would
cease to be Heaven.
Another statement concerning Heaven
that also produced a laugh concerned
the ethetic bodies Of old persons.
All in Youths Prime
"Age is generally caused by arteries
being blocked up with lime and you
don't nkc the lime with you over
there" said the speaker. There ~
tendency to get back to normal. The
men grow either forward or backward
70 about thirty or thirty five years. Inc
women become about twenty -five or 50.
The process takes some time. Children
who die grow up. taking about tn" same
time to do so that they would on earth.
The souls Of the departed see Christ.
Sir Arthur said. being privileged to see
Him once or twice until the res"rrec-
ton
'It is silly and impertinent. he
said, at another point in his talk, Tor
people who haven't gone into spiritual

of forty three men OF science in recog-
nixcd seats OF learning who have in.
vestigated psychic phenomena anu un-
hesitatinsly announced that it was cor

''Since 1886 have studied the uucs L.

Sir Arthur. AT first fought against
belief even while investigating. l be-
lieved that when the body was broken
that that was the end of the matter.

you ask yourself that question IL i. the
beginning of wisdom.
