SURVIVAL OF SPIRIT
AFTER BRAIN CEASES TO FUNCTION DENIED BY SIR ARTHUR KEITH (Rec. May 10, 10.45 p.m.) London, May 10. Scientists and medical men agree that there is no evidence to support the assumption that the spirit survives after the brain ceases to function, said Sir Arthur Keith in a lecture at Manchester University. If we withhold a supply of oxygen or fuel the brain ceases. Medical men can find no grounds for believing that the brain is a dual organ or compound substance. Every fact known to them supports the inference that mind, spirit, and soul are, the manifestation of the living brain, just as flame is the manifest spirit of a burning candle. Both flame and spirit ceases their existence at the moment of extinction
