Excerpt from The Fringe of Immortality

Full confidence however, was permitted for the late editor of The Nineteenth Century and After, who carefully examined the entire docu mentary evidence before he accepted the articles entitled Automatic Writing, Telepathy as a Natural Means of Communication and The Survival of Memory After Death.

Adequate testimony is necessary in the interests of psychical research. A great deal of evidence is lost because of the haphazard nature of psychic revelation. A clairaudient communication, for instance, may occur anywhere and at any time there is nothing to show for it except the know ledge of details referring either to the identity of an unknown communicator or to a prediction which may be confirmed only by subsequent events. When such details are confided, without delay, to responsible and disinterested persons, allowing nothing to depend on the word of a single individual, the matter may then be brought as evidential to the notice of the general public.

As time goes on and experience increases, opinions on all subjects are apt to be modified, intensified and, sometimes, completely changed. Prejudice is swept away by the tide of incoming invention impossibilities of old become every day occurrences speculative thought, reality. Theories on abstract truths are more influenced by tangible discoveries than credit is allowed.
