It was discernible only in a crystallised form. That was ratber » tp|l story to tell, but tho ordinary ChrL- d titMl was prepared to believe that the m very .same thing happened in Palestine t 2000 years ago, and he assured them it m was occurring every day. / Psychical science had revealed that the/ soul 'could bo photograohed and wci"lu>d7 both before and after the death of th“A body. At death, the soul of man weighed! from a quarter to one and a half ounces, and an hour or two afterwards might wpigh less than one-sixteenth of an ounce. Every living thing bad a soul, through the powers of which the physic*! bodv was held a-s a living and vital ”hel > against decomposition.
