LADY CONAN DOYLE and her dogs.

Startling Series.

LADY CONAN DOYLE'S EERIE WARNINGS.

"My Duty."

"I feel it a duty to try to pass on some of my dear husband's evidence of personal survival, and my own evidence, because of the wonderful comfort and up-lifting strength which I have derived from my knowledge of Spiritualism."

With these impressive words Lady Conan Doyle begins a series of exclusive articles in the Sunday Dispatch next Sunday describing several remarkable messages from her husband, the creator of the famous character of Sherlock Holmes."

Her revelations are certain to arouse widespread interest among Spiritualists, critics of Spiritualism, and all who are in doubt about "life beyond the veil."

For Lady Conan Doyle has written a message. Since her recent article in these columns telling for the first time of communications from her husband. Lady Conan Doyle has received a tremendous number of letters from people who found intense interest in what she had to say and were anxious to know how and why she became a Spiritualist.

In the new series which we are to publish Lady Conan Doyle answers her inquirers. She writes with a deep conviction and homely sincerity that almost disarms criticism.

For more than twenty years, she relates, she refused to accept her husband's beliefs, and conviction only came to her when she "spoke" to a brother killed in the war.

WARNINGS AND TRUTHS.

With that experience in her mind — "the bitterest regret of my life is that by my foolishness I lost years of great happiness" — she puts forward examples of warnings and truths revealed from "the other side," i.e.:—

How a murdered girl's body was found by means of a spirit message.
How the fate of two boys, drowned while boating, was revealed to their parents (though at the time it was known only to a man-eating shark).
How a famous racing motorist was told to change a defective driving chain just before attempting an important record; and
How she herself has had recent messages from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on subjects known only to themselves.

"I have had such comforting, happy evidence of my dear husband's nearness in our home life," is the note running through her articles.

All who keep track of the claims of spiritualism will be eager to read these articles which, from the point of view of those who believe, represent the last word, for the time being, on the subject.
