The beauty of it we cannot now fully comprehend; but, as we gaze on it, we may say in the words of Michael Angelo:— “Souls burn for souls—spirits to spirits cry, I seek the splendour in thy fair face storèd; Yet living man that beauty scarce can learn, And he who fain would find it first must die.” [_See page 92, tenth line._] THE VEIL LIFTED.

D. FAWCETT. * * * * * “Before many months are over, I think it will be admitted by every candid mind that the persistence of the individual after death, and the possibility of communicating with that individual, has been as well established on a scientific basis as any other fact in nature. That, you may think, is a bold assertion. It is not an assertion; it is a prophecy, based upon facts which are within my own knowledge, and of which I speak with as much confidence as I do of anything which has ever come within my own personal observation.”—W. T. STEAD, in _The Review of Reviews_, Jan. 1893. * * * * * “Personally, we consider Spiritualism a valuable bulwark against the inroads of Materialistic Atheism.”—SALADIN, in _The Agnostic Journal_.
