Excerpt from The Proofs of Life After Death
"Your brother is dead!"
Such was the midnight message I received a little over a year ago. It was the first time Death had struck so near to me since the days of my childhood - the first time I had had occasion to marshal up such hazy and chaotic reasons as I possessed for the conviction and consolation that - "It is well - he is gone - I also shall follow soon or late, and we shall meet again." They seemed insufficient and trivial in the presence of the great fact that he lay there dead.
And then, the minister in the lonely little church, himself almost a stranger in the community where he worked, and altogether a stranger to the relatives of the deceased, knew not what to say. So he preached a sermon that might, at least, give some hope to infidel, agnostic or Christian. He advanced, in his simple way, from scientific analogy and philosophy, such reasons for a belief in life after death as he thought might appeal to those who could not accept, nor even cared to accept, though in the presence of Death, the doctrine and faith of religion.
