LIFE AFTER DEATH
Sir-Could I .say how surprised I was to hear Professor Wall on the basis for man’s belief in a future life? He said that the large majority of spiritualists are of remarkably low mentality, and usually are uncultured to a large degree, also that spiritualist services are nothing more than entertainment. I would like to ask the Professor why, if he had no other answer or evidence to produce, he should speak of mediums
and spiritualists in such a-manner? 1 feel very sorry that his statements and contradictions should give such false impressions. Perhaps he could spend his time a little more wisely by study of such a vast subject, and read what the great authorities have to say-men like Sir William Crooks, William Barrett, Richet, Flammarion, Sir Oliver Lodge, Edward Marshall Hall and a tundred others. These scientists were men of intelligence whd, after long years of investigation, gave to the world their findings, Apart from these ubabe men there are many like myself who are convinced that there is a future life. Facts and evidence have proven to me that there is such a thing as human survival. I would say that the Professor has a lot to learn and certainly is missing the most wonderful and lovely thing, when he says that there is no proof that personality survives death. Let him look a little
further.
