Chapman Cohen Other Side of Death

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IF universality of belief were really a guarantee of truth, then, indeed, would the belief in survival be yond death be entitled to rank as one of the best authenticated of human convictions. For in some form or another it is found with all peoples, even in those cases where it may reasonably be questioned Whether the belief in God exists. It has come to us through the ages, kept alive by the combined forces of the self-interest which attaches to all established institutions, and the love of speculation which is, after all, one of the worthiest of human endowments. We owe more to this quality than is at first sight apparent. And this last statement remains true even where the belief with which speculation busies itself is of little intrinsic value.
