NO SOUL-LIFE.-The statement of Christ that the kingdom of God (of life) is within us, is a scientific fact. He often complained of the materialistic tendencies of his day. He often said, they will not come to me, they will not hear me, that they may have life-spirit-life, soullife, immortality.

As long as a man is not in possession of the positive knowledge of soul-life, so long does he exist on the animal plane of life; so long is he a part of the animal world, where we have no evidence of a soul-life, save of the reincarnation order.

It is contrary to the teachings of the Nazarene, contrary to a fixed psychic law of life to believe that a man, civilized or savage, will enter a spirit-life when he dies, in direct opposition to his life and controlling beliefs.

Every man is transplanted in the act of procreation, reappearing in his offspring, until he has reached a stage in his existence when his soul-life is developed, at which time he passes out of the generative into the regenerative or spirit-life. Then, and not until then, is a man finished the very image of his maker—an immortal spirit-being, obtained through the perfect model or ideal-Christ.

To know God, to know the Creative Power of the universe, is soul-life in the spirit-world.

THE REALIZATION AND SENSING OF IMMORTALITY IS IMMORTALITY. You can no more send the soul of a man to heaven, who does not believe in a heaven, and has no perception of one, than you can send send a goose into a fryingpan, that does not believe in a roast. You can no more send the soul of a man to heaven, who does not believe in a soul or heaven, than you can make an ass trot up hill that has a strong inclination to stay down. You cannot send a thing into spirit-life that does not exist, or that is not finished for a spiritual existence. You can project a shaft of light into darkness, but you cannot project darkness into light. HIGHLY DEVELOPED SOUL-LIFE. Permit us to draw the physical likeness of a highly developed soul-life. The top-head is high and fully developed. He feels through every fibre of his physical being that he is spirit. He has developed a fixed sense. He is not only conscious of immortality, but he is sometimes clairvoyant. He is one of a class who sometimes puzzles psychic scientists with unexplainable phenomenon. There is generally a vast difference between him and professional spiritmediums. He is a living fact. He does not perform wonderful slate writing miracles, or any other marvelous spirit feats. He may believe in professional spirit mediums and be deceived

by them, especially if he be weak in the perceptive faculties; but Conscientiousness is too strong in him, and Secretiveness and the other selfish mental faculties are too weakly represented in his brain to allow him to pose as a fraud, or deceive people in any way. Some brains may be large, but they are as coarse as sawdust; his NEGATIVE

In this animal-man the higher or transcendental brain organs, through which veneration and spirituality act, are almost absent. The light outline shows his profile, the dotted line shows the difference between the cranium development of Bishop James Varick and this savage. This man needs a great deal of patient training in order to develop a conscious soul-life.

brain is as fine as silk. It is reported that while John Wesley was in a mob at one time, a man raised his arm to strike him, but suddenly dropped it and stroked his head, saying, "What soft hair he has!" Wesley was one of those who had a remarkable fine brain, through which his mind could express itself with marked results, but Swedenburg's was the greatest we know of.
