the failure is blindly blamed, as an elec-

To the Editor Of The Star
Having read both of the letters of Mr.,
Wolesensky regarding life after death
I am inclined to doubt his sincerity in
asking for something he is sure doesn't
exist. feel his interest is merely to
create discussion in order to promul-
gate his personal views on the subject.
However. there has been some scientific
proof OF an existence after death. but
whether Mr.. Wolesensky is interested
enough to investigate it thoroughly is
another matter. l refer to the recent
experiments of j. w. Dunno of England
on Time and the conclusions he was
forced to accept after carefully consider
ing his evidence and the generally ac-
cepted explanation for this phenomena
might add that Mr.. Dunno states he
had to accept his proof of an existence
after death when he had felt up until
the time he reached this part of his
hypothesis. that he was proving Just the
opposite. I am referring to the 1888 edi-
ton OF AN Experiment With Time" bv
j. w. Dunno
l hope Mr.. Wolesensky will read it
carefully before he again requests evi-
dence OF life after death.

To the Editor of The Star
I recall task during my school days
OF translating Greek witticisms. One of
them was about a scholastic who. hear
ing that certain species of birds lives
300 years, bought specimen to make
his own test of its longevity.
1t Is heartening to note that, in his
most recent epistle to The Star, Edward
Wolesensky has moderated his former
demand for proofs of immortality. All
ne asks now is citation of evidence of
a future life. Among the many dis
tinguished scientists whose researches
have convinced them of the survival of
human personality beyond bodily death
Mr.. Wolesensky has mentioned the name
OF Sir Oliver Lodge. A study of the
voluminous reports of Lodge and other
scientists in this field would seem to be
the logical resort of sincere students like
Mr.. Wolesensky, who would not attempt
to prove evolution or relativity within the
limited space of letter to the press.

THE PERIL OF RICHES is
seen in the rich young man who
failed in the Masters test of his
discipleship. Note: (l) His eager
inquiry. He was rich, exemplary,
and popular. He was a religious
trustee and teacher. But he want

must do some good thing to Sc
cure il. and he realized that Jesus
could tell him what to do. (2)
Hear the scriptural answer. Call
ing God alone good, Jesus answer
ed the ruler from his own stand
point, that of well-doing in order
to salvation. But he who keeps
the commandments must repent
and believe and consecrate. for
works alone can never save. 90
Mark the unsatisied yearning.
Which of the commandments must
be kept? Jesus takes the second
table of the Decalogue, the duties
to man; has the enquirer kept
them? He declares that in all his
