ton II ever has known" said Sir
Arthur, since the resurrection OF
jesus. We have given IL the one
weapon IL needed with which to
fight the materialists. People have
been dropping away from the
churches because. in hours of grief,
the churches have SO little to offer
them. The clergy have absolutely
no way to prove they are right
except by Spiritualism. The whole
New Testament is a series of Spir-
ituaiistic revelations. st. Paul was
the FIRST great spiritualist.
Il challenge, any man who will
attend twelve seances and read
twelve books on Spiritualism to say
that there is nothing in It. ! have
never known of such a case. Spirit
ualism Is well proven. Great sci
entists. men like Sir oliver Lodge,
Sir William Crooks, Alfred Henry
Wallace and others. who first took
hold of the subject to expose IL,
ended by becoming disciples.
Path to Heaven Pleasant,
"Spiritualism offers human COM
fort and human rewards in the
hereafter. 1t shows us that our
loved ones are not gone, but are
leading in an invisible world much
the same sort of lives as are our
own during our happiest moment.
life in the other world is devoid
of trouble and pain.
The day when anyone could be
told that the end of life was hell
Is gone. Does anyone here know
single wicked person? 1t would
be hard to remember one Have
you one in your own family who
you think deserves to go to hell?
l haven't and / don't think others

selfish people, OF course. But these
will only be slow in coming into
their reward.
The path to heaven. contrary TO
the dictates of the old theology. is
wide and broad and pleasant. The
path to punishment is narrow and
hard. 1t seems to me absolutely
sacrileEious to say that a good Cod
would place human being on this
earth, without his own consent. and
then force him to comply with any
rigidly narrow form of religious
doctrines and code of morals under
pain OF eternal punishment"

DOYLE CHALLENGES SKEPTICS
TO ATTEND TWELVE SEANCES
Famous English Novelist Talks on Spiritual
ism Before Big Crowd Here.

With outstanding sincerity, Sir A.
Conan Doyle made his, confession of
faith in Spiritualism yesterday aft
packed tho National Theater.
The famous English novelist out
lined the history of Spiritualistic
Investigation from its birth a half
century ago. related the personal
experiences on which he bases his
faith, and ended by reconciling his
views with those of the Christian
religion.
Sir Arthur told of twenty three
separate interviews with dead rel
atives and friends which he claimed
were received through Spiritualistic
communications of them since
the start OF the world war. All
of these. he claimed. came in the
presence of from four to fourteen
witnesses. who would present afi-
davits if required.
No Everlasting Punishment.
Death. he said. on the evidence
of alleged messages from some
other world. is only the passage of
the ethereal body, entirely without
pain and. when the moment comes,
rather pleasant. After death comes
three-day sleep. according to the
speaker. before the soul becomes
aware of the new surroundings
He denied without equivocation
the existence of any hell or place
of everlasting punishment. At the
same time he affirmed a belief in
purgatory, place of terrible lone
illness, where the souls of the
wicked are made fit for the society
of decent people.

tian religion the greatest revela-
