EXCERPTS:
.......Death should not be a "horror" to any one; and if we knew more about it, it would cease to be so. It is the mystery that appalls us. We see our friends die, and no word or sign comes back to tell us that there is no death, so we picture them to ourselves moldering in the damp earth till we nearly go mad with grief and dismay. Some people think me heartless because I never go near the graves of those whom I love best. Why should I? I might with more reason go and sit beside a pile of their cast-off garments. I could see them, and they would actually retain more of their identity and influence than the corpse which I could not see. I mourn their loss just the same, but I mourn it as I should do if they had settled for life in a far distant land, from which I could only enjoy occasional glimpses of their happiness.
......And I may say emphatically that the greatest good Spiritualism does is to remove the fear of one's own death. At present I have no fear of death whatever.
