[In his &quot;Evolution of the Idea of God&quot; he wrote, I have known two instances of modern spiritualists who had their wives&#039; bodies embalmed that the spirit might return and inhabit them.&quot;] Anyone who embalmed a body with the idea that the spirit would return to it was certainly not a spiritualist. It is only one of those wild assertions like that of a leading paper&#039;s leading article the other day, which asserted that spiritualists &quot;call up spirits.&quot; But the light spreads.<br /> <br /> Arthur Conan Doyle,&lt;br /&gt;<br /> Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:Complete Works|Back to Complete Works]]<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
