Certain

There is a general belief among folk whose faith is frail and timid, that a study of actual phenomena, a demand for evidence to support the hypothesis, precludes a belief in immortality. Such folk were surprised last week when Dr. William Darrach, dean of the faculty of medicine, speaking at Columbia University's annual commemoration service, said:

"The continued existence of those separated from this life, and the sense of reality of the continued existence of their personalities has been strong enough to remove for me any doubt as to some form of life after death. . . . Definite communication . . . seems more possible to me than radio would have 25 years ago, although I have never known any satisfactory example of it. . . ."
