LIFE AFTER DEATH
A CLERGYMAN’S EXPERIENCE. SON WHO WAS DROWNED. London, October 12. The Rev. F. C. Spurr, Baptist clergyman and ex-president of the National Free Church Council, in an address at Leaming- ■ ton on “Does death end all?” told a remarkable experience. He said he sent his son, aged eight, and his mother to the seaside for a holiday in Lincolnshire. He then went ’to a cinema where at 4.45 he felt his hand touched. Continuing he said: “I saw my son in the seat next to me. I felt upset and went home to bed. There was a fearful thunderstorm during which there came a telephone message stating that my son was drowned. At the inquest I learned that my son entered the water at 4.30 and expired at 4.45. I tell this story as an honest Englishman. Twentyfive times since I have had absolute evidence that he is alive and well on the other side. Of course w r e cannot make a religion of this sort of thing. If I thought man with his folly, lust and sins was the best the universe could do I would willingly die cursing with my last breath.”—Australian Press Association.
