'''SIR A. CONAN DOYLE ON THE NEXT LIFE.'''

"I resent this worship of the past," said [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] at the Spiritualist Community service in the Grotrian Hall, Wigmore-street, last night, "with its suggestion that we are living in a dead organism. What is Isaiah or Jeremiah to me? Babylon is but a heap of bricks."

He spoke with a splendid faith in God as ever present to humanity as He was at the birth of the Christian era. "Great Britain it just as dear to God as was Judea." It was man-made dogma, he continued, that repelled man from religion now. The Spiritualists were attempting to "get back to Christ."

[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur]] described the next life, basing his words on messages that have come back from those who have "passed over." It will be similar to this life at first. It will not be a sleep. "James Whise," said [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur]], "talks of eternal sleep in an article published to-day is the '[[Sunday Express]].' He had no knowledge.

"We are very sorry for him ; we have every sympathy with him ; we admire the fine points of his character.

"He will realise soon that he is in a state far removed from sleep."

The service was followed by messages delivered to various members of the congregation by a clairvoyant medium, who stated that she saw in the hall the spirits with whom she was in communication.
