OTTO T. SIMON, DISCUSSES A
VITAL QUESTION

It has always seemed strange
that the church, believing as it
does in the survival Of the soul,
and that, without tangible proof,
will not accept close corollary,
and believe that such souls may
communicate and exert beneficent
influence on loved ones who re-
main. The idea should not Of
fend. There are doubters and
scoffers. So with every innova-
ton.
There have been fraud and de.
ception. No profession is i'm.
maculate. My firm belief is that
such acceptance will eventually
come. Personal experience will
make the personal conviction.
Science may break the upper
crust, though 1t would seem a
gross instrument to weigh the
soul. Ectoplasm and spirit-pho.
Biography seem far away from
heaven.
The subtle, inner sense, how.
ever. that Blake calls mans
greatest gift, should be encour-
aged and not submerged. For
through this alone will we be
convinced of reunion with our
blessed dead. Only then win we
know, and only then will come
to the world that illumination
that transforms a diluted faith
into firm and satisfying convic-
ton.
Gods laws and forces, as new
acceptance to the human kind, are
constantly unfolding, but evolve
slowly. The ear should be kent
close to the ground. AS Hamlet
says:
There are more things in heaven
and earth, Horatio,
IMAM are dreamed Of In your
philosophy"

" HE world joys on in a ma
terial way through work and
= play, joy and sorrow, but al
ways asks the vital question:
What Of the future; what Of the
life after death?'
From earliest time man has
asked this question. The church
teaches the soul lives on. 1t is
a precious, though sometimes
wavering faith. Heaven would
seem to many q bubble without
much iridescence. Blake, the
English mystic, calls the magma
ton the greatest gift Of God to
man. And by this he would sug-
gest a peculiar inner sense, with
reason quiescent. This inner sense
Is sometimes a psychic sense.
The subjective experience of such
endowed persons are as real to
them as are the physical phe-
nomena to Others seen in the ex-
terror world.
The Bible Is fall of psychic
experiences, OF strange voices and
visions. The mo1ernist would
probably call these fairy tales and
Authorizations. Those endowed
with psychic powers in medieval
times were sometimes burned and
later canonized. Psychic sensitive
ness follows frequently in the
trail of sorrow. 1t was so during
the great war.
England still rlourns her many
dead, and corresponding stimu.
lation for psychic interests exists
in England. WelIknown names Of
followers Of psychic research are
those Of Earl Balsour, Lady Gray
OF Falloden. Sir William Barrett,
Sir Oliver Lodge. Two summers
ago in London net many earnest
investigators and also visited Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle at his home
in Sussex. "

suffering which Anna had seen
during this disaster, caused to
