Could a person remember his own death in a former incarnation?
Some say "no," and some say "yes." If it is true that you can't,
the whole fabric of the wonderful story, one of the most beautiful,
if not the most beautiful I have ever read, "The Moon Maid," by
Edgar Rice Burroughs, is built on a fallacy. You see, I am a
believer in reincarnation and I would surely like to correspond
with others who are also! Would not that also disprove the whole
theory of reincarnation if it is true? I think it is not true, but
I may be wrong. Is reincarnation a proven theory, or unproven?
You say you are going to avoid reprints. Now that is a mistake. Of
course, some you might avoid, such as those of Wells, Verne, etc.,
though I would like you to publish Wells' short stories. There are
many that have not been published in any magazine for a long time,
or at all.
But please, oh please, do publish A. Merritt's "Through the Dragon
Glass," and give it a cover illustration. It is the only one, I
think, that I want particularly, but I do want it! If you publish
any of H. G. Wells' works, give them cover illustrations, too.
And publish a lot by Merritt, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and authors
like that; you haven't as yet printed a story of the type that A.
Merritt writes, and that is one thing this magazine needs, and lots
of them, as they are the cream of Science Fiction, and the more of
them you have, the better! They are my favorites, and next come
those that Edgar Rice Burroughs writes; also John Taine.--Worth K.

_The S: Lynn Rhorer Society_
Dear Editor:
This is to inform you that we have organized a society known as the
S. Lynn Rhorer Society of Greater Atlanta, a branch of the Science
Correspondence Club.
This Society's purpose is to first assist the Science
Correspondence Club and its affiliated branches in the promotion of
science and Scientific Fiction. Second, to create a greater
interest in science and Science Fiction among the laymen who are
already interested, and to create an interest among those who are
not at the present interested, and to hold their interest.
At the present time we have in our library over three hundred
scientific books; a large collection of ores and rocks from
different states and countries, classified; a large collection of
fossilized bones; a three-inch refracting telescope, and a ten-inch
one in the course of construction; and a large club-house.
Any information regarding this society can be obtained by
addressing R. A. Marks, Jr., 893 York Ave., S. W., Atlanta,
Georgia, or the undersigned.--F. B. Eason, 400 Jefferson Avenue, E.
Point, Ga.
