Finds Comfort In Belief To the Kdlfor ot foe Kventno Public Lrtacr Ul.. i (u mi InvuBtlfrnlnp nf Nttfrlr. uallwn for Hip last fivo years, I feel that I nm rntiiicti i" " " uinuhmi. .w. least, it cau be. said, that I am not of that class, who do not understand it, but yet have decided prejudice agalu.st it. I nm not a Hplrltuallst as et, but ouly on "the outside looking in." Thin happened to me to strengthen my convictions. My mother passed awoy, during tho flu epidemic of October. 1018. 1 was with her constantly and alono with her when she tiled. She was In full posses sion of her rational mind to tho end and spoke now and then of Jesus and peace and going home, and ceemed very con tented to go. After n long pause, dur ing which she kept her eyes shut, she said, "Mother," very-clearly and loudly. l nan never Tvuncusra uimn ikuiici and I waa wntchins ber closely and anxiously. I said to her "Mother, do ou seo your mother?" She replied, yes." " About two months after my mothcr'a death I went to a wpiruunusi meeting, where I was a perfect stranger, and the medium described my mother as only one could that could see her, even tj the color of her eyes, which were hazel and her hair which was a silver white and she said, "when your mother passed on, her mother was receiving her from tho Spirit side of life." That certainly im pressed me after what 1 heard her call. Now Dr. Conwcll, whom everyone re spects and loves, comes out with his ery Interesting experiences, and of course some one pisp, who was nut present, is trying to tell tho public just exactly what he saw and what he did not see, and I nm quite willing to take Dr. Conwell's word as to that. Dr. Klwood Handles tne hudjccc com pletely and beautifully and It is free to n n n M A tn a1 i aftf ll t Ml 11 n O M ll T h ft O t ll Pf men of brains be mentions, ana spend n 111.), if l.lt... !..

As Spiritualism draws me nearer and nearer I feel the awful sting of grief, over the loss of my dear mother, hurt ing less nnd less, nnd it seems to bring her close to me. I hope to bo entirely convinced and (will then be "sustained nnd soothed, by au unfaltering trust," which Js a very ucMrnnip state of mind for the sorrow ing masses, who have lost as I have. ELSIE MAY. Philadelphia, Dec. 1CT. Applies Logic to the Problem To the Udllor o (he livening PubUo Lr&otr: Sir If immortality is true it ll not unreasonable to believe that "spirits of health or goblins uaraii may visit us nnd brine" airs from heaven or blasts frotn hell," etc., etc., but let a little "reason bo presented to a candid world." If human beings possess souls, spir its or nny dunl existence these souls must hnvo existed before the existence of the bodies they Inhabit or they must not. No two conclusions nro here possible. If they did exist before they must have been In the Infantile state In which all of us were when we took them on (because an ndult soul would be 111 fitted for an Infant's body), or they must have ben a part of homogeneous soul stuff, which would render Indi vidualization Impossible. How these Infant souls would scram ble for abode In u body born to the mimic instead of to poverty. If. on the other hand, thcr do not exist until the body exists (which is a far more reasonable supposition) it is tnen necessary to ronciuuc tnnt wry would not hap existed but for the ex istence of the body, which, of course, means that they depend for their cxist- itttriDninitMttniiuiuiiunnniMniimEsiiuiuiHUCitiiiiiitnticiniititiiinnitufitnnitiuiiiiiiiiiiciiiiiTitiitiitiiiHniiitncitiniiiittncsMiiiT; 1115 CHESTNUT ST.

Praises Dr. Conwell's Courage To tho Kditor ot the Uvrnlno PnoIIo I.rdger. Sir In your recent Issue you refer to thp spirltunl communication px perlenced by the Rev. Dr. Russell Con wcll and very broadly Invite the criti cism of your rpndprs. Therefore, 1 beg to say, while complimenting the Kve nino PoliMO IjKPOKU on Its attitude, that from the writer's own humble ex periences of some years nf earnest in vestigation, Doctor Conwcll can, bo absolutely correct. It is a great pleasure to learn that Doctor Conwcll lins indeed tup cnnsoi lnr Rfltlsfnetion of such nil experience, nnd if more of our scholarly leaders such as ho would only have the courage of their .convictions and openly express such revelations in n fearless manner, then prejudices nnd ridicule would no longer stem the tide of a proven though somewhat intangible philosophy. Unfortunately, there are great op portunities for fraudulent practices on this subject; -naturally, ideas, styles, habits, etc., which are genuine nnd beneficial one wny or another, are Imttnted or copied, and we may expect it until overcome by a process of dimi nution. ,TIip great change through which the world in general hns been passing for the last six years hns affected deeply and personally almost every human be- i..- j.. . i. . i -- inn in one way or anoincr, nnu oniy such n crisis as this unrest Is sufficient io rnuso us to iook more deeply into ourselves ns related to the sublime nnd wonderful laws of the universe. 'Dip scoffer may easily be excused for his ridicule and opposition to the spirit Utic theory, as the whole world Is living nlmobt wholly a material existpnee, the necessity of which Is obvious. The pace at which we nre foicetl to go to earn n living does not allow any time for an insight Into this philosophy which is as old ns man hiinelf. It has occurred to the writer that should you give some real time and sincere Interest to the gathering of actual data on this subject, your issue will prove Interesting to many who nre anxious for enlightenment, but who hate not the moral courage to ask, or the knowledge just where such Intelli gence may be obtained. Much men ns Dr. A. Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Iodgp nnd their kind have been of great service to the world, but when they accept a theory beyond the easy comprehension of the multitude, Ihen they nre forced to sit aside nnd let the popular mind grow up to the thought, Just rh did Christopher Co lumbus when he ?ald the earth was round. If characters such as tliesp whoso authorship and ability nre admitted, arc fools, then we of the laity must be in n deplorable class by ourselves. A. P. M. Philadelphia, December 23.
