SCIENTISTS VIEW OF DEATH
London, March 18
Sir Oliver Lodge, in an address upon death before the Christchurch Grey Friars, urged that people should dismiss the idea of death as gloomy. It was really a adventure.
“We do not fear to emigrate,” he said, “but look forward to new conditions with interest. So should we look forward to death. Our souls are now' enclosed in a body matter which is a nuisance to get rid of. There are no dead in the churchyards. I have never seen my son Raymond’s grave in France. He asked me not to. I know there is no extinction, because I frequently talk with people who have gone. The matter looms far too big in our attitude. We should greet, the unseen with good cheer.”
