PREFACE

Many more philosophic minds than mine have thought over the religiousside of this subject and many more scientific brains have turned theirattention to its phenomenal aspect. So far as I know, however, therehas been no former attempt to show the exact relation of the one to theother. I feel that if I should succeed in making this a little moreclear I shall have helped in what I regard as far the most importantquestion with which the human race is concerned.

A celebrated Psychic, Mrs. Piper, uttered, in the year 1899 words whichwere recorded by Dr. Hodgson at the time. She was speaking in tranceupon the future of spiritual religion, and she said: "In the nextcentury this will be astonishingly perceptible to the minds of men. Iwill also make a statement which you will surely see verified. Beforethe clear revelation of spirit communication there will be a terriblewar in different parts of the world. The entire world must be purifiedand cleansed before mortal can see, through his spiritual vision, hisfriends on this side and it will take just this line of action to bringabout a state of perfection. Friend, kindly think of this." We havehad "the terrible war in different parts of the world." The secondhalf remains to be fulfilled.
