The Ultimate Goal of Spiritualists.

By Sir A. Conan Doyle.

In the following interview Sir Arthur Conan Doyle dwells upon the subject of Spiritualism, which is making rapid strides, not only in this country but throughout the world.

It is not correct to say that we are experiencing a revival of spiritualism. What is really happening is that more people are discovering our great religion — the best religion of comfort that has ever been known the world — and the movement is growing steadily. It has lasted seventy-six years, and it will outlast every movement on this earth.

It is the beginning of an enormous new revolution of mankind, sent by God, the centre of all truth, and it will continue to grow. There is plenty of time for it to develop; there is no hurry. Those who have ears let them hear; those who haven't, the worse for them.

Spiritualism brings untold happiness into your lives, and you lose all fear of death.

DEATH IS LESS BITTER.

It even mitigates the fear of the death of your own beloved ones. You learn to know you have not really lost them. If my son had lived he would have been attached to the Army Medical Department, and very likely he would have gone to foreign parts. I can get into touch with him much quicker now than I should had he been alive and away from home. So that death to a large extent is mitigated by Spiritualism; the bitterness of it is taken away.

On top of all that the most important thing is our knowledge of what religion is. We all either accept peacefully what is told us by those who really know no more than we ourselves, or else we worry ourselves continually over problems. That was my condition before I found out these things for myself. It is everybody's condition if they have got any soul
