Without exception, all | the primitive races who have left on | monuments traces of their thought be- | ieved in the immortality of the soul. | | | you prove in your | Could this uniformity be a mere coinci- dence ? Where, as with the Greeks and Romans, negation came, it was intro- | duced as the fruit of culture in a few peculiarly constituted minds. “All this is significant, but it would be disregafded nowadays if experimental | evidence were lacking. However, experi- ments decidedly tend to confirm the ex- istence of the soul. So-called realists op- pese the Christian theory of a soul, yet it has as much probability as other sci- entific facts. EXISTENCE OF THE SOUL. “The physical sclentist on perceiving the light ray believes in ether, which he does not see. Experiments in demonstra- tions of energy, of the colloidal state, of the odic fluid, of spontaneous or experi- mental telepathy, etc., all tend to prove the existence of a soul. The experiments conducted in Paris by Colonel de Rochas, the noted scientist, have been particu- larly conclusive. The sensitiveness of the odic fluid radiating from the human body has been shown upon screens, and these last have been seen to become suddenly illuminated at the very moment of death. Turthermore, sleep, anaesthesia and tor. | ture are accompanied by a complete sep- | aration of the odic fluid and the astral | body.” “In what condition do you then believe the soul to exist?” was asked. “That science is powerless to prove. Just as we find the positive proof that future life must exist, we find the nega- tive proof that sclence is checked in seeking to establish particulars. But the soul appears to be a force, and for this very fact it must be immortal. In na- ture no force is created and none lost; it Is only transformed and preserved. Therefore the soul must be Ppermanent, like all other forces. “Such are a few of the many argu- ments which I advance in detail to recon- cile sclence with religion. I realize that if religion is to live it must have science on its side. What I have sought to es- tablish without appeal to dogma or prejudice is that science is in accordance with the broad lines of religion.” CRITICS ARE FRIENDLY. ! | torical and scientific reasons appeared Mayerle.
