Talked with Departed

Ny experience in the quest Of
truth has revealed the existence of
certain people possessing highly de
veloped soul senses who were able
to communicate with departed
spirits This knowledge was gained
only after a series of disappointing
and expensive experiments with
countless fraudulent mediums aid
fortune tellers of every known
kind and description, and extending
over a considerable period of time.
When one seeks personal proof
of spiritual immortality through
the proper avenues or mediums

beyond doubt, they will live a
bigger, better life, laying the
foundation here for the progress
sion of the soul to a higher state

/ do not believe that material or
physical scientists relying entirely
upon knowledge gained through
the five senses, will ever yield a
solution of immortality any more
successfully than they haxe ex-
planned the forces Of gravitation,
which they admit exists, but fail
to explain by what hidden means
this force is transmitted.
Until they do, and the individu-
al feels the need of convincing

A ghost-what is ghost? What

a ghost really is. And yet, either
because we prefer to thriller

are comparatively very few who
care to try TO understand just what
is the real nature of a ghost.

and the vital body. 1t is not at all
necessary that we shall believe this
to have it an operative law. 1t is
not at all necessary that we shall
believe that the "sun rises" nor
that the moon is intimately related
to the tides.
Personal beliefe results in a widen

are many who think 1t a mark of
intelligence, to doubt the existence
of anything at all which is not

GOVERNOR RITCHIE URGES
CAUTION ON RESOLUTION

Governor Albert Ritchie of Mary
land, Democrat, has added his voice
to those who are insisting that the
United States Senate, before pass
ing a resolution adhering to the
World Court, be very careful that
the resolution commits us to no
foreign involvements. In a speech
at Chicago recently Governor Ritch-
lie said:
'We must all recognize Americas
interest in world peace and its place
in worldwide affairs. But before
we join any world court or interna-
tional league, we must be more than
sacrificing any of our traditional
rights of independence.
There should be sufficient reser-
vations and safeguards to insure no
European interference in American
affairs and traditions and to protect
us against any entangling Europe
an alliances"
The principal theme of Governor
Ritchie's address was the preserva-
ton of local government. The
preservation of human liberties, he
declared, was a question of greater
importance than all such questions
as world court, tariff and disarma-
ment.
