DOES THE SOUL DIE?
NOTED SCIENTIST’S OPINION, London, May 10. “Scientists and medical men agree that there is no evidence to support the assumption that the spirit survives after the brain cea ses to function,” said Sir Arthur Keith, president of the British As sooiation, in a lecture at the Manchester University.
“If we withhold the supply of oxygen or fuel the brain ceases. Medical men can find no grounds for believing that the brain is a, dual organ or a compound substance. Every fact known to them confirms the inference that the mind, spirit and soul are in manifestation of the living brain just as the flame is the manifest spirit of the burning candle. “Both flame and spirit cease existence at the moment of extinction.”
