Stanten Ad dresses Presbyterian Min isters' Association TELEPATHY IS DISCUSSED We may knew all about our loved ones here en earth, as the angels de," in the state after death, through mental telepathy nnd clairvoyance, declared the Rev. Dr. Herace C. Stanten today at a ministerial meeting In Westminster Hall, Witherspoon Building. Dr. Stanten Is secretary of the Pres bjterian Ministers' Association. His address was en "Thn flinnliT n,i Cla rvoyance of Science and These of Scripture Compared." The speaker declared all the evidence demonstrates that "modern psychology solidly con firms the psychic events of Scripture, nnd that telepnthy and clairvoyance arc the rudlraental play of transcendent powers which develop In the future state." Dr. Stanten asserted that "among the things foreshadowed In that future life are power instantly te transmit psychic messnges evcr distance indefin itely great, and te recognize .the receipt, meaning and source of these mental tele grams." He said he believed In the future state we would be able, bv clair voyance, te locate ether persons far away, nnd te learn their surroundings, circumstances nnd mental tntn.. The speaker said that for centuries scientists have been noting the mar vels of telepathy and clairvoyance. He explained that by telepathy all the do de tails of n complex event would be transmitted te n distant mind, nnd by clairvoyance all the features of such a sccne would be read from some far distant mind. Instead of such occurrences being oc cult und supernatural, the speaker said, science recently has recognized them as the mnnlfcstntlens of certain higher powers in the human soul, usually dor mant, but sometimes active.
