In conclusion it is well to point out that there are numerous well attested cases which afford the strongest experimental evidence of the existence of a soul in man. Thus telepathy is not a mechanical process like wireless telegraphy, belonging to the physical order of matter, space and time; it is a psychical process: unfettered by these limitations. Perhaps more important is what we learn as to the conditions necessary for access to the unseen world; all psychical phenomena will be inhabited by the presence of flippant, suspicious hostile investigators. Interest. sympathy and if possible unanimity of mind in the circle of inquirers are desirable without, however, credulity or suspense of judgement. Again; to gain access either to the inner or outer courts of the invisible world, faith is necessary. This is not credulity but confidence of hope arid humility of spirit.
Again there appears to be a curious transmission in some cases of psychic power from its possessor to a hitherto passive recipient, Jesus was conscious of some power passing from Him when touched by a suppliant and the healing power of His touch is frequently mentioned.
When psychical research has sufficiently advanced the materialistic philosophy and mechanistic view of life will have received a fatal blow.
