SPIRITUALISTIC

Visions of The After-life

PROM Arthur H. . Stockwell, . Ltd., .London, "Truth" has received two -works of particular interest to New Zealanders, owing to the fact that the authoress m each case was a resident of this, country. "Psychic Phenomena," by Helen Dames, of Whangarei, is a book that gives food for thought and much, speculation. The authoress relates many remarkable instances and personal experiences of dream clairvoyance, the absolute t rut h °f which she vouches. The incidents are related briefly and simply just the mere statement o.f the. facts and the subsequent events to bear ou^ the circumstances of the dream. '.''*' "Psychic Phenomena" makes most absorbing reading, especially for those interested m the subject of spiritualism. They will find further evidence to that already accumulated, to prove the survival of the spirit after death and to strengthen their convictions that communication is possible with those who have "passed on." "The Pathway of Life and The Gardens," by Stella DOr, is a little volume that contains allegorical visions which were revealed to the writer, "5.D.P.," by Stella DOr, an Englishwoman who came to the Dominion with her husband m 1909 and died m Auckland on May 12, 1929. "The Pathway of Life" is written somewhat after the style of a chapter from Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," and, is of an unlifting and helpful nature, pointing the way and showing the I ' pitfalls into which the ignorant and unwary are most likely to fall. "The Gardens" are. a series of visions concerning the After-life, showing how our characters and life on this plane affect our reception and life m the Here-after. Written clearly and with feeling, the authoress paints rather beautiful pic- v tures with excellent descriptions that intrigue the imagination and help m the problems and trials of daily living. Tolerance, Humility, Love, Charity and the desire to serve only good are the qualities that are' essential to keep the garden beautiful -and flourishing, and free from the choking weeds and parasites. ;
