ASTONISHING RECORD.

(Australian and N.Z. Press Association.)

LONDON, September 27

Viscountess Grey of Fallodon has written an introduction to an astonishing record entitled "Life Beyond Death" by the Rev. Charles Drayton Thomas, which is based on alleped spiritaulistic conversations with dead men and women.

From these the author draws vivid pictures of the soul's release and life in the next world. The author's dead father is said to have communicated the statement that he lived in a body which seemed as real and substantial as his earthly body.

People who died on earth, he said, gradually grew younger, until they again reached their prime. The author's father added: "After our family is completed we shall all progress toward perfection in outward form.

"There are two spheres below ours. The definitely evil persons go to the lower, and the weak and selfish to the other. The scenery in the wicked place is tinted with hopeless drabs and greys."

Other messages say sleep, food, and drink are not needed in the next >phere. "I wear clothing," says another message, "since it is the habit to think of myself in clothes, but it is not necessary to be measured. We create clothes by thought alone "

A young soldier who was killed in the war sent a message stating he was glad to find animals and trees in the life beyond death, but only animals accustomed to human companionship.

Viscountess Grey expresses the opinion that the author observed rigorous methods of investigation, which puts a high value on his work. She adds:

"Some persons in all apes li with the dead, but the nn now being recorded."
