Excerpt from Photographic Copies of Written Messages From the Spirit World, Vol. 1
For many years I was an agnostic. As such I did not deny nor yet believe in a future life. The evidences commonly accepted were not satisfactory to me. I wandered through paths of unrest, earnestly desiring to know the truth. Years of investigation have changed my opinions. I am no longer an agnostic. Nothing could now change my definite and certain belief in the immortality of the soul of man and the belief that spirits can and do communicate with the living. These proofs have come from many sources and are of many kinds. In this book I offer some of these evidences for the benefit of others. I address myself only to those who are earnestly searching for truth, whose minds are ready to receive it.
The following lines of Bulwer Lytton's, written nearly one hundred years ago, will convey my belief today:
There is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown,
They shine forever more.
There is no death; the dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers,
To golden grain or mellow fruit
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
There is no death; the leaves may fall
And flowers may fade and pass away.
They only wait through wintry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death; an angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread;
He tears our best loved things away
And we then call them dead.
