SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS A BRIEF RECORD OF MY OWN EXPERIENCES By Sir WM. EARNSHAW COOPER, CIE.

The world was old before the Saviour’s advent, and it is older to-day, yet Pilate’s famous aphorism is ever upon the lips of men. Christ Himself stood for Truth; was, indeed, its very incarnation. His Apostles affirmed it; the early Christian Fathers died for it; prophets, seers and sages have expounded its principles these many thousands of years, and even to-day do those spirits, from what men term the ‘ Shadowland,’ come to declare it to spirits yet incarnate, but still man doubts, as he always has doubted.

If, then, the publication of such revelations as have been manifested to me will assist, even in the smallest degree, in establishing the truth in regard to the Life beyond the grave, which most men believe in but which few care to investigate, I readily and unhesitatingly submit these pages to the hands of the printer.

To those who, unrestrained by the narrow tenets of an unsatisfying form of creedal belief, are free to recognise and accept the direct and unmistakable evidence of those discarnate spirits from beyond the ‘ Border ‘ who are permitted to communicate with the sons of men, these pages will appeal. To those who are still sceptical of the potency of spirit power, the message will convey no meaning.

I would only add that, in recording the following manifestations of the activities of spirit life, I am actuated by no desire to convert men to any of the occult sciences which may be summed up in what is known as ‘ Spiritualism,’ because I am not in any sense a missionary. I am, on the contrary, what society calls a sane man of the world who, once convinced of the actuality of spirit life,

entered upon the study of these psychic manifestations rather with the purpose of practical investigation than with the idle curiosity of a dilettante or the emotionalism of the exalte. As such, I merely place before those friends who are desirous of reading these pages, certain actual experiences that have recently occurred to me during what I may safely regard as one of the sanest periods of my life.
