"It is not mere hearsay," he con tinued, "k-have talked with and Seen. twenty of my dead, Including my son, when my wife and other witnesses were present." Sir Arthur, who describes himself as a spiritualist and mongthelst a be- liever in one God, is accompanied by Lady Doyle and their three children, Denis Conan Doyle, thirteen years old; Malcolm Conan Doyle, eleven, and Miss Lina Conan Doyle, nine, Sir Arthur said that his wife and the children were all spiritualists and happy. They were loyal to God, and knew more of real religion than many bishops, he said. Both Sir Arthur and his wife spoke in tones of exaltation over the fut- ure iritualism, which they said gould predominate all over the world and would bring love and happiness, These are some of Sir Arthur | Conan Doyles'. points in his argu- ment for spiritualism: "Making every allowanecé for fraud (whith has been greatly exaggerat- ed) and for self-deception (which is far more common) there remains 'a great residium of proved fact, which makes this psychic movement the most serious attempt ever made to place religion upon a basis of de- finite proof, which is what all earn- est minds must desire, "Spiritualism is the one final actidote to materialism, is the cause of most of our troubles. i "If we can make this good---and the case has only to be clearly stat- ed to be proved--then surely Am- erica has good cause to be proud that this great restatement of the funda- mentals of religion should have come upon her soil. It has been degrad- ed by some who believe in it, and derided by all who did not, but the time has come to recognize the vital good that is in it, and to free it from sordid influences, "High spirits did not redescend upon earth in order to tell fortunes, or to advise on business matters, such uses being a curse with them. The true aim of all communication with spirits is consolation, know- ledge of spiritual matters (including the conditions of life after death) and self-improvement, "Phenomena are elementary things, useful as signals which call our attention to the unseen, but tending too often to distract atten- tion from the real spiritual know- ledge to which they should be an in- troduction, "Far from being antagonistic to religion, this psychic movement is destined to vivify religion, which has long been decaying and is becoming & mere formality.
