(Poor postmortem evidence)
There is not so much evidence to prove intercommunication
between the so-called dead and the living, as there
is to show the sick that matter suffers and has
sensation; yet this latter evidence is destroyed by
Mind-science. If Spiritualists understood the
Science of being, their belief in mediumship would vanish.
(No proof of immortality)
At the very best and on its own theories, spiritualism
can only prove that certain individuals have a continued
existence after death and maintain their affiliation
with mortal flesh; but this fact affords
no certainty of everlasting life. A man's assertion that
he is immortal no more proves him to be so, than the opposite
assertion, that he is mortal, would prove immortality
a lie. Nor is the case improved when alleged spirits
teach immortality. Life, Love, Truth, is the only proof
of immortality.
(Mind's manifestations immortal)
Man in the likeness of God as revealed in Science cannot
help being immortal. Though the grass seemeth to
wither and the flower to fade, they reappear.
Erase the figures which express number, silence
the tones of music, give to the worms the body
called man, and yet the producing, governing, divine
Principle lives on, - in the case of man as truly as in
the case of numbers and of music, - despite the so-called
laws of matter, which define man as mortal. Though
the inharmony resulting from material sense hides the
harmony of Science, inharmony cannot destroy the divine
Principle of Science. In Science, man's immortality depends
upon that of God, good, and follows as a necessary
consequence of the immortality of good.

That somebody, somewhere, must have known the
deceased person, supposed to be the communicator, is
