Untutored mind death is not the cessation of a delicately balanced system of bio-chemical functions, but the de parture from the body of something real and substantial, the living, breathing, speaking, moving part of man the soul. Dreams, in which the dead appear in form and act like their living selves, give greater distinctness to the imagi nation: the soul is a vaporous double Of the body, usually invisible, but capable Of sensible manifestation and even as in nightmare of energetic materialize tion.
