“I am not a Spiritualist in the ordinary sense of the term,” said Mr. C. E. Bevan Brown, a former headmaster of the Christchurch Boys’ High School, at an Anzac Day memorial service held on Monday, “b\it I am Spiritualist enough to believe that those boys who laid down their lives do not live in a shadowy way, but in a real existence —an existence as real, nay, more real than ours, but to us inconceivable. Nay, I believe more. I believe that in one or two rare instances —very rare, but possible—they have been allowed in some way to make their presence known to those they love, not in the gross material way of table-tap-ping and table turning—that to my mind is a terrible danger, and I cannot for the life of me think that God has meant na to use such a way as that—but as the poet, Tennyson, describes in his Tn Memoriam’ —a communication of heart and soul.’ ’’—Press.
