“OLD WIVES’FABLES"
41 The less you have to do with spiritualism the better,” said Dean Inge, in a recent sermon. “The whole subject of eternal life," the Dean said, 44 is beyond us. Tho pictures we have are only symbolic and intended to exclude the idea that de •th is the end of all things. The real truth probably differs very widely from our notions of it. _ “As for the spiritualistic , superstitions which are now so rife among us, I am almost ashamed to mention them. Old wives' fables about ghostly apparitions have been popular always ahd^ everywhere, but that is not the kind' of immortality that Christianity teaches us, nor that which any sensible person would desire for himself or his friends. 44 Even when this superstition masquerades in scientific dress, I tell you the less you have to do with iij the better.”
