Excerpt from The Way to Life and Immortality: A d104-Book on the New Life That Shall Lead Man From Weakness, Disease, and Death, to Freedom From These Things And out of the midst of the confusion came a Voice to me and bade me look. In the heavens as in a cloud of fire there appeared unto me a vision of two divinely perfect beings. Their bodies were glorious, and as of Shining ivory which had life. Out of the eyes looked the Soul of Love. Male and female were they, perfect in soul and in body; for the body showed perfect, and out of the eyes shone the perfect Soul. And as I looked, behold, at their feet appeared chil dren, as perfect as were the other two. It was a vision of Light and Fire, glorious and divine.

Excerpt from Immortality of the Soul As we peer into the starry depths on a clear night, when the noise of the day has softened into an impressive silence, undis turbed, our Vision penetrates to stars that retreat into mere points of light. The telescope is brought to our aid and there is revealed to us innumerable stars'far beyond the reach of the naked eye. We have no means of determining the distance to which the stars may extend in space beyond those within the field of view of the most powerful telescope. We are in the habit of placing boundaries to all existences that come within' the scope of our mental operations. We place limitations on all existences that come to occupy a place in space and time. We are aware of the limit of space, _in which the human body is con fined and the extent of its activities on earth. We are certain of the limited time allotted to the organized body in its career on earth. We are certain that the earth is limited in space and time. We do not doubt that there are regions in space, beyond the reach of the Sun's light. Although we can not escape the conscious conviction of the existences that are limited in space and duration, yet our minds are capable of apprehending that which does not admit of limitation. We can not get away from the truth that space is boundless and that we can form no con ception of the limits of its extension. How are our minds brought in touch with infinite space? What is that entity which we call infinite space? We can not apply our knowledge of mathematics, science and philosophy in demonstrating or prov ing infinite space. How then is the mind made certain that there is that which we call infinite space? We trace back the years of our lives and the entire line of our ancestors until we reach the first man. Our marvelous minds continue to revert still farther back into duration, through the ages that preceded man, until we enter into the thought of a duration that had no beginning. We are now convinced of the eternity that knows no beginning. What is time? What is eternity? We look about for the proof of this mysterious eternity, and we find that our mathematics, our smence and our philosophy can not fathom it. How are we brought to a recognition of infinite space and the eternity of duration? These truths are revealed to us by that indwelling power of the mind that was created in us, and which we call intuition.

Excerpt from Our Immortality Evidently we have to prepare for an era of re vision. And, in view of the cataclysm of these last four years and of the formidable consequences that may reasonably be feared, it seems probable that this revision will be not merely of the surface of our affairs, such as proceeds in a time of profoundest calm, but rather of the underlying principles of many laws and customs.

Excerpt from The Immortality of the Soul If a man is shut up in a house, the trans patency of the windows is an essential condi tion of his seeing the sky. But it would not be prudent to infer that, if he walked out of the house, he could not see the sky because there was no longer any glass through which he might see it.
